N. HILL NESBITT'S CHURCH.
Mrs. GriswOld. His Assistant, Leaves
by Request of Members.

n. Hill Nesbitt. who taught French on
the mass-meeting plan and sold stock in
gold mining company in this city. Is now
the sole pastor of the Church of the New
Commandment in Kansas City. Mrs. Sarah
Elizabeth Griswold helped him TO organize
the church but lately she was asked TO
leave. The members resented what they
said was her assertion Of higher spiritual
ity. She said she felt she could lift the
church a bit higher than Mr. Nesbitt, be-
cause he was engrossed in the material
things OF life. Mr.. Nesbitt denied that he
was so engrOssed. Mrs. Griswold conceded
10 the church that all prayers are an
swered. whether or not they reflect credit
on those who pray. Following is an extract
from one OF Nesbitts sermons:
II haven't an enemy in the world so far
as i am concerned. / have probably as
many enemies who are seeking TO injure me
a any man IN town, but do not harbor re-
sentiment against a single human being in
the world In our church we shall have no
worrying and no gOssiping. We shall be
natural. If you want to whisper during the
offeTtory, all right. II / want 10 take of

We shall base our lives on the life that

whether one man wrote one book and an
other another; whether this book was

scribed or not: whether sprinkling or duck

TEN CHILDREN IN COURT
THEY TESTIFIED AGAINST THEIR
FATHER IN DIVORCE SUIT.
In Another Case James Jones Was
Freed After Suing His Wife Five
Times-COurt Records.

Part of the testimony given IN a divorce
suit in Judge Leathers's room of the Su-
perior Court yesterday will be referred TO
the grand jury for consideration. Wilhel-
nina Steinecker brought suit against her
husband. Herman Steinecker, for divorce.
They had been married thirty-one years and
their family of ten children was ranged
along the row of seats directly in front of
the judge. The complaint charged that
Steinecker had treated his wife cruelty and
called her vile names. The children testified
in favor of their mother, saying that their
father frequently cursed her. When Stein
ecker was placed on the stand he denied
that he had cursed his wife Judge feathers
asked him if he heard his children testify
against him and he said he did. but that he
did not remember of using the language
charged against him. Judge feathers
dered a transcript made of the shorthand
notes to be submitted to the grand jury.
After trying for the fifth time to get a
divorce James Jones was finally success
full in a hearing before Judge feathers
yesterday. Jones started the suits against
his wife Minnie several years ago. The
first two were dismissed. The third suit
was tried before Judge Carter. who denied
a decree Jones was formerly cab driver,
but he purchased the Marion Park saloon
and garden and has since been running it.
He charged in his complaint that his wife
drank TO excess, but she succeeded in in
Producing evidence enough TO prevent her
husband from getting a divorce on the
ground that he did not make his hotel"
what it should be. Later. he filed fourth
suit before Judge McMaster. The same
testimony was introduced and a decree
was denied. The fifth and last time the suit
was brought before Judge Leathers. The
number of times the suit had been tried
caused Judge feathers to be cautious and
he instructed Deputy Prosecutor Ira
Holmes 10 carefully investigate the case.
Holmes went into the case and when IL
came to trial had an array of witnesses, in
Guiding the policemen, officers and manager
of the cerealine mills and the employees at
the plant. 1t is the duty of the deputy pros
ecuting attorney to contest cases, but all
the witnesses he summoned had the re-
verse effect with the court and was the
direct cause of Jones getting decree. His
wifes old charges against his hotel" were
presented but all of the witnesses sum
mOned by the deputy prosecutor testified
that it is an orderly place and conducted in
a proper manner The judge then granted
Jones a decree on the charge of drunken
ness and cruel treatment. 1t was shown
that last Saturday night Mrs. Jones found
her husbands bicycle in the yard and
twisted the lamp off and punctured the tires
with hair pin.
