AIMEE AND MOTHER
: END MONEY BREAK
Evangelist Takes Control of
Temple After 10 Days
WrangIe.


LOS ANGELES, August 2.-Aimee
eemple Mcpherson took full control OF
her Angelus Temple today as the re-
suit of an agreement announced last
night in which Mrs. Minnie Kennedy
relinquished the active business man
agement of the church and the TWO
women publicly kissed and made up to
end their differences.
The settlement, announced by attor-
neys for both after a two.hour confer
once, apparently ended a Today row
between mother and daughter in which
the latter had been backed by group
of temple members who rebelled
against Mrs. Kennedy'S control OF
finances. During its bitter course Mrs.
Kennedb had said she was resfgning
Immediately, while her daughter an
nounced in an ultimatum that Mrs.
Kennedy was ousted. The latter
charged that her daughter refused TO
speak to her again except through her
lawyers, and then Mrs. Kennedy de-
clared she would withdraw only upon
a $3.50 division of holdings valued at
approximately s100 900, which was not
a part of the temple property.
Aimee I'm Control.
The management announcement
merely said that Mrs. Minnie Ken
nedy will give up active management
at Angelus Temple and Mrs. McPher-
son will assume complete control
Neither of the women would dis
close the details of the settlement. but
It was learned that it virtually hinged
upon the $3.50 plan insisted upon by
Mrs. Kennedy. The attorneys said the
full details of the settlement would be
worked out within the next few days.
Easter Hill, where the evangelist
holds her Easter services, was said
by the attorneys to be the only real
estate held personally by Mrs. McPhar-
son and her mother. 1t was valued
at $4,000.
The temple property, consisting OF
the real estate and buildings, Is held
by the Echo Park Evangelical
Association, of which mother and
daughter are two Of the three trustees.
Mrs. Kennedy had contended that
there was no other trustee, since
the original one named is dead. The
evangelist claimed that her secretary.
Miss Emma Schaeffer, was the other
trustee.
The temple property Is estimated
to be worth considerably over half
o million dollars.
The announcement did not indicate
that Mrs. Kennedy was withdrawing
from trusteeship Of the temple own
ing association.
Ends Year of Disputes.
The agreement brings to a close
one more chapter in the life of the
evangelist, which for more than a
year has been checkered with allie
cations, denials, Investigations and
disputes all connected directly or in
directly with her disappearance at the
beach during the Summer of 1928 and
her temperance more than month
later in Arizona with story that
abe had been kidnapped and held
prisoner in Mexico.
The recent controversy between
Mrs. Mcpherson and her mother
brought a bareback on the kidnapping
story when Mrs. Kennedy denied
published statements attributed to her
that she doubted her daughters story.
