Ann Adopts a
Tragic Manner
|During-Trial
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug! 9.-In
spite of admonitions from Judge
Valentine that dramaties were un-
necessary, Ann Luther made use of
her stage and movie training Fri
day while undergoing cross exam
ination at the hands of attorneys
for Millionaire jack White
from whom she is trying to collect
100000 for alleged breach of con-
tract.
Miss Luther took on tragic
manner when she related conversa-
tions she claimed to have had with
Jaunita Hansen and Mrs. Belle Ed
wards, whom she is alleged to have
attempted to induce to testify for
her.
In high pitched voice and with
dramatic gestures Ann told how
Jaunita had accused her of living
with A. E. Lewis, a young broker
whose physical breakdown is attri-
buted by Whites attorneys to his
alleged association with Miss Luth-
er.
"Why, I kept Jaunita Hansen
from going over the river, y Miss
Luther shouted. 81 helped her fin
anciallv when she had no friends
at all. -
At one point in her cross exami-
nation, Miss Luther wept and
pleaded with Judge Valentine to
compel Paul Schenk, Whites at
tornev to refrain from asking her
humiliating questions. The judge
denied her request and told her to
answer the following question
Schenk had asked her:
.n'Didn t you in a. fit of rage
against White take off your hat
throw it into the gutter and your
coat, cursing and using indecent
languageg'
rs Miss Luther replied tearfully
that she had not.

printed by a New York firm in that
same year is now the treasured pos
session and valuable relic of Mrs
P. l.. Renison of this city.
She received the Bible from her
grand father, Samuel Billingsley,
born in Scotland, but who later mi
grated to Kansas where he lived to
an advanced age.
The. interest naturally inspired by
q work as old as this book is en-
hanced by number of writings
that have during the past two hun
dred years been discarded as non
essential to the primary object and
lession taught in the Scriptures;
Many of the old books, once in
cluded in the Bible, have been tax
ell from it while, it is said, some
new ones have been added.
Students of the brevised Bible
are probably unfamiliar with the
books of. Esdras, Tobit and Judith
which are included in the writings
entitled, Apocfy pha which appear
in Mrs. Renison Bible. Then fol
