EPISCOPAL PREACHER ON TRIAD, ;
DEFENDS MARRIAGE To CATHOLIC

LEXINGTON, KY, April "a Il.
N.SO.-The trial of a young
clergyman who put love above the
laws of his pre-ordination VOW
was to proceed here today before
a court of five ministers Of the
Lexington diocese of the EpiS-
copal church.
The Rev. Julius A. Velasco, pas
tor Of the st. Johns Church of
Dayton, KY, went on trial here
yesterday charged with failing to
fulfill an alleged promise made
to his bishop that if he married a
member of the Roman Catholic
church he would thereupon re-
sign.
Married BY Priest
Acting as his own attorney, the
Rev. Mr.. VelaSco, made an open
ing statement which lasted for
two hours. He admitted he had
signed a pledge to resign his min
istry if he should marry a Cath
olic. He added that he notified
the Rt. Rev. H. P. Almon Abbott.

that he would sign such a pledge,

with most people. Friends,
even close ones, seldom really
know much about their assOci-
ates, but take them pretty
much at their face value"
Police have hoped to learn
something of the killers tempera-
ment by examination of book
found in the sewer with the
girls coat. DR.. White was
skeptical, however, as to the
possibility of learning much from
this although he admitted that
if properly interpreted it might

of mind he was in before he

The name of the book found
wrapped in the dead girls coat
is "The Golden Dancer" by Cyril
Hume.
Book Tells Love Story
The book deals with the love
of factory worker for a country
girl. The hero leaves his work

and, in search of romance,
moves to a country village where
he meets his love and finally
wins her.

them in any religious faith she
saw fit. He added that he had
confidence in his wife and did
not believe that she would ask
him to raise the children in the
Catholic faith, out of considera.
ton for his position as an Episco,
pal rector.
Bishop Abbott, in a statement
yesterday, declared that the
young pastor is not being tried
on charges of having married a
Catholic. but on charges of hav-
ing broken his pledge to resign
from the ministry if he did so.
The Rev. Mr.. Velasco charged
that bigotry is the chief factor
in the trial.
Bishops Statement
Bishop Abbott's statement said:
II have been distressed to
find that the general impression
of the public seems to be that
this is a case of the bishop

it is a case Of the standing COM

BETTY HANNA

Mary Baker was an enigma to
her closest friends. A high
spirited, independent girl with
dark, inscrutible eyes. Those who
knew her best knew her not at all.
Daily contact over period of
years with girls who thought
that her life was an open book
did not reveal the true Mary
Baker which lay beneath the We
neer her lifelong training had
imposed.
This is what an investigation
Of her movements just prior to
the fatal night of April II, when
she was brutally murdered and
criminally assaulted on a lonely
road near Arlington Cemetery,
would seem to show, DR.. William
A. White, internationally known
criminal psychologist, told The
Times today.
Case Called Typical
Her case is typical of a great
many DR.. White said. Few
people ever get to know their
friends we'll enough to under
stand their inner nature.
In speaking of the psychology
of crime, DR.. White said that the
traditional method of determin-
ing the motive for a crime and
then looking for the culprit is
impractical, at least in the ma
iority of sex crimes. According
to DR.. White, human motives are
much too complex to be traced
without exact knowledge of the
circumstances under which the
crime was committed.
In speaking of this, the emf
nent psychologist said:
'Put q little Jealousy, a little
sex passion, a little hate, a
little fear into a person and
you can't tell what might come
out. No single person acts
exactly in the same way under
the same conditions. There is
no apparent logic to some &C
tiOns and nothing is impossible.
''FOr instance do not know
that you have not a gun in
your pocket and that you are
not going to take it out and
shoot me, although you have no
grievance against me whatsO-
ever. And yet we have here
in st. Elizabeth's Hospital
man who did a similar thing.
What / mean Is, that searching
for the reason for a murder
is not a practical way to solve
0 crime where the motive is
complex. Only in detective
stories do they solves mysteries
that way.
Nothing Is Impossible
eff the exact circumstances
of the crime was known and
the murderer caught, then we
might be able to tell why he
did 1t. The experienced In
vestigatOr knows that nothing
is impossible where human &C
ton Is concerned, however inn.
probable it may seem to the
average person.
II have not followed this
case closely so have formed
no opinion as to what might
be probability. But one
thing that strikes me Is how
anyone actually knew about the
Baker girl. ALI the things that
