Mrs. Schaupp is bitter in her de-

sicIaims, have robbed her of her daugh-
Alter In an interview last evening she
said:
'I have nothing against the Adven-
Hist religion and grant every one the
8Iright to believe as they please on the
alsub1ect, but do not approve of their
sIforcing their belief upon my daughter,
who was lust recovering from a ner-
|vous breakdown at the time she be-
came acquainted with some of the
workers at a revival meeting in Pasa-
dena last winter.
TELLS OF LETTERS
"Owen Parrett lied when he stated
hin court that he has known Vera only
three weeks. We have letters which
he wrote to her last August and which
were instrumental in causing her to
*leaye her home last February to attend
the Adventist school in San Fernando.
s She came home from that school vol
UNFAIRLY four weeks ago and the first
3 day she was homo she received two
Ztelephone calls from friends of the
4 8lschool urging her to return there.
#lThese calls were followed by letters
43from scores of others of the faith, with
zlthe result that she left again two
weeks ago to go to the Iona Linda
8 sanitarium. We received letters from
Parrett, who is employed at the in
stitution, and he advised us that un-
Hess Vera was given medical attention
land taken on a long trip she would
Hose her mind. We looked upon the
affair as an indirect appeal for funds
land decided that If such treatment was
necessary we would take her TO sanl-
tarium of our own choosing. Conse-
quently we went to Iona Linda Sun
day and brought her away, not by
'force, as claimed by Parrett, but by
peaceful methods.
"Parrett wants to marry our daugh-
tier, but in her calmer moments she has
declared that she does not love him
4and will never marry him. If he at
4tempts to press his suit we will be
4 compelled to swear to an insanity war
|lrant to assume guardianship and pro-
|stect her from Parrett and his follow
4 ers."
