Fat Follower of Father Di
vine Eager to Take Stand
In Answer to Young Girl's
Claim of Seduction.
LOS ANGELES, June S4-(AP)
Fat, rotund John Quwt Hunt,
ciple of negro cult leader. Father
Divine, opened hi defense today
against the federal government's
charge that be brought 17-year eld
Delight Jewett from Colorado to Cal
ifornia and debauched bar.
As the government closed It case
Judge Leon Yankwlch denied a de
fenae motion for acquittal and com
mented :
"I am satisfied that the facta here
are such as to Justify the Jury In
finding all defendants guilty on both
counts of the Indictment. The evi
dence shows that Hunt satisfied his
lust at the expense of this mere
Child, keeping up a pretense that
It was being done In the name of
holy religion."
Others Accused
Also Indicted with Hunt were H.
B. Smith, Mrs. Agnes Gardner and
Mrs. Elisabeth Peters.
Paul J. Cotber, agent of the fed
eral bureau of Investigation, was the
last prosecution witness. He snld
Smith told him Miss Jewett'a par
ents were not notified when she
left Denver and came with Hunt to
ihls Beverly Hills home. He said Smith
also told him Hunt spent $50,000
In a period of four months, buying,
among other things, costly clothing
for Miss Jewett.
Testifying that she was seduced by
Hunt, Miss. Jewett told the Jury
that as the Virgin Mary, she was to
have gone to Honolulu to give bltth
to a new redeemer.
"Mr. Hunt was Jesus the Chr'st,
X was the Virgin Mary, and I was
to have my new redeemer in Hono
lulu, but they didn't tell me when,"
the girl testified.
"Who was to have been the holy
ghost?" Interrupted Judge Yankwlch.
spectator ousted
A courtroom spectator tittered and
was ordered out.
"Who was to have made the Ha
waiian trip with you?" asked Jock
Powell, federal prosecutor.
'Several cult, members and Mr.
Ohrtert I mean Mr, Hunt,'' Dellgnt
answered.
The prosecutor asked her If she
made a atop at Grant, N. M.( with
Hunt on the alleged automobile trip
from Denver to California.
It was at grant that Mr. Hunt
told me that I was to give birth by
immaculate conception to a new re
deemer," she said. "He warned me
that the whole world probably would
turn against me when It happened
and that I would be an outcast. Then
he told others In our party what he
told me and they looked real pleas
ed." .
Enter Brush Salesman
Concerning her previous testimony
that a brush salesman entered Hunt's
Beverly Hills home last Christmas
day, when, she said, she and Hunt
first had sexual Intercourse, Miss
Jewett testified thst others there
called him Joseph.
Hunt's attorney Hugh MacBesh,
asked her: "Isn't It a fact thst you
were glad when you learned Joseph
was not to be the father of tTie re
deemer you were to bear?"
"X guess so.' she answered.
At one point In the questioning
MacBeth, who is Liber lan consul
here, asked Judge Yankwlch :
"Is the Immaculate conception, as
interpreted in tineology, 4 violation
of the Mnnn act. your honor?'
"The Immaculate conception Is
not at stake." the Judge replied. "We
are concerned with the matter of
transportation for Immoral purposes.
The government must show the Im
moral purpose of the trip.'
Hurt, nattily attired, expressed
anxiety to take 'tine stand as the
government was winding up Its case.
"I love nothing better than to tell
the truth,' he said during a recess.
"Truth is a wonderful thing."
"Peace I" echoed a follower nearby.
"It Is truly wonderful I"

Gas Company Opens
Combination Range
Water Heater Sale
Launching an interesting and un
usual merchandising campaign, the
gas company has announced a new
"combination" sale of gas ranges and
water heaters.
According to D. E. York, general
manager, the object of the campaign
is to bring the benefits of modern
gas appliances to more homes, at a
cost and on terms that every family
can afford. To this end, the cost
of delivery and connection Is In-
eluded in the attractive contract cov
ering both appliances. Moreover, It
Is pointed out, the use of gas for
both cooking and water heating en
titles the customer to the minimum
combination rate a dual saving.
A new type "cabinet" range has
been selected for the sale. A marvel
of design. It Includes In one compact
unit, four top burners, a large oven
and a broiler. The water heater Is
of the automatic "storage" type, self
operated and requiring no lighting or
attention.
