WIFE TO ABIDE BY HIS WISHES
Mrs. Hunt Says She Will Do Just as
Her Dear Husband Tells
Her.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 12.-The Rev. E. Law
renee Hunt. who figured conspicuously in
the divorce proceedings instituted by
Charles c.. Bassett Of Washington against
his wife, Fannie Rice Bassett, and who.
after the decree was granted to Bassett
married the divorced woman. is to be asked
tonight to leave the parsonage Of the Noble
Street Presbyterian Church, in Greenpoint,
which they have occupied since Wednes-
day. That this drastic action would be
taken became known today, when notices
were sent out for meeting Of the trustees
and session of the church. Members and
officers of the church are incensed against
the Rev. Mr.. Hunt for bringing his new
bride to the parsonage. The pair went
there on Wednesday, the day following
their marriage in Manhattan, and brought
along Mrs Bassetts son Rice. There was
in the parsonage at the time Mr.. Hunts
aged mother There were rumors on We'd
nesday morning that Mr.. Hunt and Mrs.
Bassett after their marriage had gone to
the parsonage but this was denied by the
aged Mrs. Hunt, who declared that she had
no, seen her and had simply been informed
of his marriage.
Changed Their Minds.
The Noble Street Presbyterian Church. Of
which Mr.. Hunt was formerly temporary
pastor and to which he would have received
an appointment call but for the outcome
of the Bassett divorce proceedings, is one
of the wealthiest and most influential OF its
kind in Brooklyn. At the time Of the
divorce proceedings Mr.. Hunt had many
friends in the church. and when he assured
them that he would be vindicated in the
divorce proceedings. he was informed that
he and his mother could occupy the par
sonage until such time as he could find
another abode. The decision against Mrs.
Bassett and Hunt in the divorce trial
changed the attitude of the church members
and officers, and Hunt got gentle hint
that it would be best not for him to return
to the parsonage. but that his aged mother
could stay there by courtesy Of the trustees
until she had another home.
They Must Leave.
On Wednesday members Of the church
who live in the immediate neighborhood
noticed a strange woman and boy at a
front windaw. While they were wondering
who the woman and boy were they saw
the Rev. Mr.. Hunt. 1t soon became known
that the woman was Mrs. Bessett and that
the boy was her son. On Wednesday some
of the influential members Of the church
sent word to Mr.. Hunt that they desired
to see him. What transpired is not known.
but It is inferred that Hunt was told that
he and his bride were persons non grata
and should quietly get out as quickly as
possible. No effort was made by them to

NEW YORK April 12.-Atter having de-

was still arguing In the jury room at o
o. clock this afternoon, in the hope or reach-
ing a verdict. The prospect of this seemed
rather slim in the opinion of lawyers and

of MANY murder trials, though 1t was APP
parent that the jurors were patiently and
conscIentiously trying to bring their iapors
TO some definite end after having spent
three arduous months in the trial OF the

The general opinion at that hour was that
the Jury would report to the court before
night that there was no hope of Its agree
ment upon a verdict, and that the Judge
would discharge the jury.
