ress, to testify against the Rev.

made by his attorney today in

tain her usual style of lazy living"

ness against the 60-year-old clergy

another motive might be
sexual resentment"

PAYING
HOUSEKEEPER
7 D WRITE
Mrs. Louise Dixon Calls Patron
"vuIgar";; Says NightShirt
Wasn't Even Clean

NEW YORK, June 3G.N.S.).
Clarence A. Pitman, 7S-year-
old nephew of the inventor of
shorthand, today denied-night
shirt, sofa pillow and all-the
story of his former house
keeper, Mrs. Louise Dixon.
From the witness stand in Su
preme Court. Pitman declared
his dead wife had welcomed the
idea of his aiding Mrs. Dixon to
become a scenerio writer which
was why he paid the housekeeper
$500 a month for seven years
after Mrs. Pitman's death.
Stopped In 1927
Pitman stopped his patronage
when he married second time
in 1927, and Mrs. Dixon now
is suing for $4,000.
Those shocking episodes de-
scribed by the auburn-haired
housekeeper who said Pitman
tried to enter her bedroom on
the night of his first Wifes fu-
neral, never occurred, Pitman
testified. He wasn't even in the
apartment until four or five days
after the funeral, much less stalk
ing around in his nightshlrt, max
ing advances!
And Mrs. Dixon never hurled
sofa pillow at him, he asserted
never! although she swore she
did and made neat hit.
About the only thing he agreed
with Mrs. Dixon on was that he
had paid her for the proposed
scenario venture, but whereas she
said the contract was for LIE, ne
said it was only for "as long as
1 could do it,
Called Him Vulgar"
Mrs. Dixon, on the other hand,
testified she thought she mlgnt
learn to love him in a "tlllal
way" though she said he was a
vulgar man"
That is why she went on
numerous trips with him Tor
more than two and one-haH
years.
Mrs. Dixon, an auburn-haired
woman with a draWl, gave the
gaunt little shorthand heir credit
for absolutely nothing today
not even a pure white night shirt
which he wore on the night she
contends he first made advances
to her.
Mrs. Dixon, under cross-eXam,
nation, admitted Pitman had
given her a "gentleman's kiss"
twice a day for two weeks after
the first Mrs. Pitman's funeral.
Occupied Same Room
Only once did they occupy the
same bedroom, she testified.
They were in the BerkshireS on
a trip. and Pitman said he was
very tired and she agreed to a
double room instead of CONNECT
ing single rooms, but the room
was as large as the courtroom,
with Pitman's bed at one side
and hers at the other, she went
on.
She had a screen around her
bed, she said, and Pitman, al
though not sharing her enthusi-
asm for the father and daughter
arrangement, did no peeping.
