NeWIyWeds Start Honeymoon
With Vigorous DeniaIs of
| Charges by Young Nurse

Los ANGELES, Sept. 16 G.N.S0
The newest wrinkle on the trou-
bled surface of Aimee Semple Nc,
Pherson Hutton's latest romance
may be smoothed out without re-
sort to the courts.
This possibility arose today with
che announcement by Myrtle H. j.
st. Pierre that she would consider
an out-of.town settlement OF
her 100000 breach. of promise
suit against David L. Hutton,
.newlywed husband Of the famed
woman evangelist.
On a Revival Tour
Meanwhile, Aimee and her bari
tone-voiced husband were out Of
the city today, embarked on re-
vival tour that will take them to
Portland, Ore. In the wake Of
their northward journey the
happy couple left vigorous denials
of Miss st. Pierre's allegations and
a warning to the 29-year-old nurse
that they would cling together in
the expected battle over her suit.
Said Aimee:
Gas far as I am concerned,
believe in Dave all the way, and
am standing right by him."
Hutton. q singer in Aimee's
Angelus Temple choir, character
lied Miss st. Pierre's charges as
''unfounded" and accused the
nurse Of filing the suit merely to
gain money or notoriety."
In her complaint Miss Pierre
alleges that she met the choral
baritone last January ane that
he proposed marriage to her
after a swift eight-day courtshlp.
She charges that Hutton betrayed
her under promises of marriage,
but that during the following
April he refused to SPEAK to her
over the telephone.
Settlement Possible
AS a consequence of Hutton's
spectacular aerial elopen1ent with
Aimee Semple Mcpherson to
Yuma last Sunday, Miss St.
Pierre averred in her complaint
that "the distress, disgrace, and
humiliation would remain Through
out her life"
The possibility of negotiations
for an out-of-court settlement ap-
peared in an announcement by
Miss st. Pierre's attorney, James
Gardner, who said:
'sMiss st. Pierre would be
willing to make a settlement in
the matter but, naturally, it
would depend upon the amount
Of money involved in the trans
action"
Aimee exclaimed as she and
her husband appeared at the rear
door of their home to accept the
papers from a process server:
''What's another suit in the
MCPhGrSOM fanny.
Believes Charge Absurd
To newspaper men the evan
gelist remarked:
"There isn't anything so
helpless as q man when he is
accused of such things by q
woman. It has been quite the
rage to file suits Of this kind.
/ believe everyone will see and
~ realize how absurd these
charges are"
Explaining that he had been
acquainted with Miss st. Pierre
through her services as a nurse
when he had been i'll, Hutton
said:
81 found her to be a charm
ing person and l am still
loathe to believe she would
n stOOp to do such a thing in an
effort to attain either money
or notOriety.
"At no time did / ever say
anything to her which would
have led her to believe I in
tended marrying her."
What-a-Man" Also Sues
Another and previous domestic
difficulty in Aimee's family circle
bobbed up on the same day her
bridegroom was sued. Guy Ed
ward 'What-a-Man" Hudson, erst-
while husband Of Mrs. Minnie
ma" Kennedy, the evangelist'S
mother, yesterday filed suit for
a Nevada divorce from Mrs. S. l..
Margaret Newton-Hudson.
It was Mrs. Newton -Hudson's
sudden appearance as Hudson'S
legal wife that caused his ro-
nance with ma" Kennedy to
end in an annulment. In his
divorce suit. filed at Las Vegas,
Hudson alleged cruel treatment,
causing loss of health.
Mrs. Kennedy is in Las Vegas.
Apprised Of Miss st. Pierre's suit,
MA" said:
"Have they started excavat-
ing ut AngeluS Temps again?
Guy and / can breathe freely.
There are no skeletons rafting
In orr closet. They've all been
thrown on the screen"
