HUNT CONVICTED
IN MORALS CASE
Co.Defendants Acquitted
by Jury-Friday Date
for Sentence.
By the Associated Press.

6S tliS ASSOtidbtu IItSo.
LOS ANGELES, July John
Wuest Hunt follower of Father Divine,
was under conviction today on charges
of transporting Delight Jewett, II,
from her Denver, Colo, home to
Beverly Hills, Calf, for immoral pur-
poses.
The jury, which last night found
Hunt guilty, acquitted his co-defend-
ants, Mrs. Agnes Gardner, Mrs Eliza
beth Peters and H. B. Smith.
Federal Judge Leon Yankwich set
Friday as a date for sentencing Hunt
and hearing pleas for new trial.
When the verdict was returned,
Hunt asked, rhetorically:
why can not these poor unfor-
tunate individuals understand me?"
Hugh Macbeth, Hunts colored at
torney, referred to the defendants in
his closing arguments as these poor
saps"
Consider these poor saps," Macbeth
pleaded. They were rich in one sense,
but poor in the wonderful things of
life, until they struck a new channel
of the spirit. That was after they
had the religious awakening through
Father Divine.
John Wuest Hunt may be a dumb
bell, as they say, such as when he
threw $1,000 bills around. He
is 33 years old, but he is a baby COM
pared to Delight JeWett. She is the
smart one in this business"
Judge YankWich collapsed yesterday
While giving instructions to the jury
and had to be assisted to his chambers.
He had complained of the heat.

mentary circles that France and Great

program.
Official spokesmen said abandon
ment of the non-intervention scheme
was always a possibility.
These spokesmen, however. def
nitely sated that France and Britain
would refuse to recognize Insurgent
Gen. Francisco Franco as a belligerent
and would not bargain" with Ger
many and Italy.
1t previously had been reported that
France and Britain might offer recog-
milton of Franco as belligerent in
return for new adequate guarantees
of Italo-German neutrality
Deputies said abandonment of neu-
trallty by France and Britain would
follow the final elimination of the
naval patrol from Spanish waters.
Deputies also said elimination of
the patrol which would result from
German refusal to approve
strictly Anglo-French surveillance of
Spain's coasts would leave the way
open for wholesale" aid to fighting
factions.
britain and France proposed to
take over the neutrality patrol after
Germany and Italy recalled their war
ships. Germany and Italy rejected
that plan.)
