THE JURY FINDS AGAINST MRS.
CAKES ON All POINTS,

she Loses Her Salt for n Separation and
the Millionaire Gets an Absolute d.
vorce-A Church Investigation OF A.
sembiymsn Kneeiand MAY be Made.
The jury in the suit Of Luella c. Cakes against
Millionaire Francis J. Cakes for q separation
yesterday morning brought in a sealed verdict
in the Supreme Court In Brooklyn. The verdict
on ell the points involved was In favor Of the
husband, the jury finding that Mrs. Cakes had
sustained improper relations with Henry NJ.
Heymann, her lawyer. and Paul Rooney, Jr., Of
Astoria. The findings, as soon as approved by
the Court, will, Of course, entitle Mr.. Oakes TO a
decree OF absolute divorce without further pro-
ceedings.
Tit jury took four ballots before reaching n
verdict. The first on the Rooney issue stood o
TO 3 against Mrs. Cakes and on the 1Ieymann
Issue 0 10 o. 1t Is said that Mrs. Oakcs's own
testimony proved the most damaging to her, and
that had she refrnined from becoming q witness
the trial might have resulted in a disagreement.
Neither Mrs. Cakes nor Miss May Dernaple, her
youthful companion. were in court when the
verdict wac announced. Assemblyman Stillman

Miss Dernagle during the trial. was visibly af-
fected over the result, and at his request further
proceedings were adjourned until Wednesday
next. II Is not expected that any stems will be
taken lo9king to an upsettinG OF the verdict.
There Is a rumor that n church trial may come
up as q sequel to the Cakes litigation. Assem-
blyman Knoeland is the teacher in the Bible
Class in the First Reformed Church and. Miss
DernaRle was one of his pupils. IL il said that
the church people may demand nn explanation
Of his relations with the Young woman and OF
his %sotourns at RoCkaway with her and Mrs.
Cakes. HIS letter, which figured In the Cakes
trial, NAV also become the subject OF Inquiry.
II Is ,said that a representative Of the
First reformed Church was present in the
court during the entire proceed inga md noted
carefully. all the testimony relating to Mr..
kneclandR% actions. Mr.. kneeland IL one of the
leading, Republican statesmen on the. Park
slope. lie got his seat In the last Legislature
near the close OF the session as the representa-
tive from the Seventh district after . contest
with Assemhlymar Owens, who had been de-
clared elected. lie was reelected in November.
Mr.. kneelAnd had this to say yesterday after
the verdict was announced:
"Th turning point in the case was the testl-
mony OF Mrs. Cakes. We did not know certain
things connected with her former life which
were brought out in her cross-examlnation."
Friends Of Mr.. Kneeland say that his course
all through the case was inspired solely by de-
votion to his clients interests, and that IL will
not In the least degree disturb either his church
or political relations. They also said that such
a thing as a church trial was not contemplated.
