ARE THEY
MORMONS?
Mrs. White Alleges That
Her laughter Has Been
Hypnotised by the
Rev. Arthur Evans
and His Wife.
GIRL HAS DESERTED HER HOME
Investigator of the Cole Street
Mission Says It is Not
Connected With the
Christian Alliance.
GIRL HAS DESERTED HER HOME

Mrs While, of No. $40 Covent street,
Jersey City, before Police Justice Hig-
gins, in the First Criminal Court this
morning accused the Rev. Arthur Evans
and his wife May, who conduct mission
at No. "a Cole street, that they claim is
allied to the Christian Alliance of hav-
ing hypnotized her daughter Lillian,
leave her home and conceal her where
abouts from her-parents and her friends.
Mrs. White said she had been search
ing for the girl, who had been absent
from her home since February 3, but
for some time could get no trace of her.
early last March she received informa-
ton that her daughter was living at the
house of the Evans's in Jersey avenue.
When she went to claim the girl the
latter had disappeared and Mr.. Evans
declared that he knew nothing about her
SO Mrs. White says.
In court today Mr.. Evans admitted
that the girl had lived with him and Mrs.
Evans for a while, but he denied that he
knew where she went when she left his
home to prevent her mother getting her.
He said that the girl came to his wife
for protection, as her parents interfered
with her religious liberties.
The cast was first brought to the at
tention of Justice Higgins week ago
when Lillian White. accompanied by
members Of the mission, called at the
court and wanted a warrant to permit
her to enter the house of her parents
and get her clothing. She said that she
had been converted at the mission and
had decided to devote her life to relig-
ious work. Her father objected and she
feared that if she went for her clothes
he would detain her at the house.
She was advised to send for her clothes
anu gave Il HOte 10 1HOuldS Arlington,
visitor at the mission, who, on going to
the White house and hearing the parents
side of the story, changed front and took
their part.
Mrs. White told him that on Christ
mas Eve she and her daughter were
passing the mission when they stopped
in to listen to the services. Some of
the mission people spoke to the girl and
she left the place as one entranced
After that she went at first two nights
a week to the services and later every
night. She wss working as a steno-
grapher in New York She would rush
home from her work. eat her supper
and go at once to the mission, remain
ing until a late hour He father re-
monstrated, declaring that she was
breaking her health She then left them.
Mr.. Arlington, having become the
ally of the Whites, saw the girl at the
home of the Eyanses last week and got

her promise that she would be at the
meeting last night to see religious
stereopticon exhibit which he was going
to give. He advised Mr.. sand Mrs.
White to be present to get the girl, who
in the meantime had resigned her em-
ployment and completely forsaken her
old acquaintances. Mr.. and Mrs. White
were at the meeting. Mrs. White
thought she saw her daughter disap-
pear behind curtain at the rear of
the room as she entered the hall. She
waited until after the meeting closed
and made demand upon Mrs. Evans and
her husband for her daughter. Mrs.
Evans declared she knew nothing Of the
girl. Mrs. White told her that she knew
better.
'You have hypnotized the girl and
made her forsake her home and
friends,' she declared ''She is COM
pletely under your influence and you are
concealing her-for what purpose God
only knows"
Mrs. Evans had Mrs. White elected
from the meeting place. This morning
she had her summoned to the police
court and the whole story came out.
Mr.. Arlington testified for the Whites.
He declared that he had investigated
the mission and found that it was not
connected with the Christian Alliance.
He told Judge Higgins that he had rea-
son to believe that it had something to
do with the Mormon Church.
Mr. and Mrs. White will take legal
measures to compel the mission people
to disclose the whereabouts of their
daughter. They declare that she is
under an hypnotic spell and that she is
not absent from home of her own free
will but because she has lost control of
her actions and is completely dominated
by Mr.. and Mrs. Evans.

and energetic work. He takes with him
the highest regard and best wishes of
every official and subordinate associa ted
with him"
Previous to taking service with the
