LEES BOOK OF TRUTH READ
Regarded as Favoring Free Love
and Against The Bible.

Chicago, June 23-Nildred Bridges re-
sumed her testimony today in the trial Of
Evelyn Arthur See, head of the Absolute
Life cult, who is charged with abduction.
Miss Bridges appeared moro composed
than at previous days Of the trial and re-
piled 10 questions in short. crisp sentences.
She was CARRIED In simple white frock
and white hat and seemed to he the coolest
person in the crowded courtroom.
The Book of Truth" was read into the
record at the close Of Miss Bridgess exam
naton. despite the objections Of Mr.. Cant
we'll representing See.
Members Of the Jury became grave as
the reading OF the book proceeded and the
interest of spectators in the courtroom was
tense. Certain passages in the book were
regarded as advocating free love ana dis
regard Of the Bible.
One paragraph read to the jury follows'
do not think | allow the dissipation OF
the world II is only when you are free
] make you husband and wife. Society
will sanction what you do because 1t Is my
will. have not forgotten society in my
ordinations for the person. Your freedom
in sex is not freedom with sex; II is free
dom from SEX
Although excerpts from the book OF
truth" were OF nature that earned the
closest attention from most of the spec
tators, L. w. Gottieb, juror, teiI asleep
and slumbered peacefully for fifteen min
utes. His nap was broken when Prose
outor Burnham loudly acclaimed para
graph which sent a wave OF blusheS
through the numerous women present:
Then he settled back in his chair ana
listened. James e. Callahan, Of the de-
fence, said that Gottlebs lapse would be
used. If necessary. In applying for new
trial for See.
The day was hot and the courtroom
crowded Gottlieb had scarcely become
thoroughly awake before it was discovered
that a stenographer had fallen a victim TO
fatigue and heat. His pencil fatered in its
course and then stopped. The reporter was
asleep He was awakened by an attornsy'
Those who urge that the defendant mas
an 'hvpnotic eye" called attention To the
fact that those who succumbed were in
line witt his vision. but no one could swear
that he had looked with any particular m
tensity at any Of the sleepers except the
Juror.
