Joan Berry Testifies Her
Child Fathered by Chaplin
By GENE HANDSAKER
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21 UP)
A worried-looking, attractive
girl of 24, who twists her hands
und shifts about in the witness
chair, has testified that Charlie
Chaplin fathered her baby but
thill when sho Implored him to
give the child his name he re
plied: "You know my views on
marriage: "I don't believe in It."
Auburn-haired Joan Berry,
who faces a Jury again today In
her suit to liuvc the 55-ycar-old,
silver-haired comedian declared
the father of 14-months-old Carol
Ann, testified to four sexual
Intimacies with the 55-ycar-old
master of pantomime.
She declared she had had "no
relations" with any other man
slnca meeting Chaplin June,
1041.
Near Tears
Several limes she appeared on
the vcrgo of tears.
"I asked him at least fivo
limes lo marry me," she said. "I
told him, I'll even divorce you
after the baby Is born if that's
tho way you want It. But he
said: '1 don't want any part of
anything liko that.' "
She said the comedian "Jump
ed up" and exclaimed: "I'd rath
er spend 20 ycors in Jail and
have my pence. I'm a great art
ist. I've got to protect my soul.
No woman is going to force mo
Into marriage. Babies are a
biological mistake. For all I
know, I might have a lot of
other children running around,
and all of those women don't
wont me to marry them."
Found With Woman
Jonn told a crowded court
room that she once found her
former drama tutor In a guest
room of his Beverly Hills home
