Hunt Guilty i1' Cult Seduction:
.IeSES AS He's Led Off 10 Jail

LOS ANGELES, July l d.N.So.
John Wuest Hunt, portly million
aire white follower of Harlem S
Father Devine, was found guilty
today of violating the Mann act.
A Federal jury convicted him
of transporting Delight Jewett,
17-year.old Denver high school
girl, to his Beverly Hills (CalJ
home, where he seduced her.
Three other followers of the New
York god" were acquitted.
The jury, which had listened to
eight days of sensational teSt!-
many, deliberated 10 hours.
Maintains Testing Air
Hunt did not drop the testing
air he has maintained all through
the trial even when the pro
nouncement of guilt was read. He
laughed and joked, and even
stopped to buy neWspapermen a
soft drink as he was being lea
to Jail. His only comment was:
Gail want now is to be editor
of the Mcneil Island Lantern.
The Mcneil Island Lantern is
the paper published by inmates
of the Mcneil Island Federal
Prison, to which Hunt will be
sentenced for a term ranging up
to five years. All the time the
jury deliberated he spent in
reading the last issue of the
paper.
According to testimony, Hunt
seduced Miss Jewett after telling
her he was Jesus the Christ"
she was 1.-The new Virgin Mary"
and that she was destined to be

the mother of the New Re
deemer."
The other defendants, charged
with accompanying Hunt and
Miss Jewett on their tranScon-
tinental automobile trip from
Denver, refrained from any de-
monstration when they heard
they were acquitted. They are
Howard John The Baptist" Smith,
Mrs. Agnes Mary Magdalene"
Gardner and Mrs. Elizabeth
Peaceful Martha" Peters.
Hunts conviction was due prin-
cipally to the testimony of Miss
Jewett, key Government witness.
She related details of her first
seduction in Hunts home and OF
subsequent intimacies in hotels,
where they registered as Jesus
The Christ" and THE Virgin
Mary"
Hunt took the stand and ad-
mitted the intimacies. He said,
however, that on the first &C.
casion the girl came into his
room of her own volition.

Shortly after the lengthy case
was placed in the jury'S hands at
3 p. m. yesterday, Federal Judge
Leon Yankwich collapsed and had

GUNNER velvet is important
~ fashion news for the bride-to-be
who is seeking a radiantly beautiful
and out of the ordinary material
for the making of her own gown as
well as those for her attendants.
No word picturing can do justice
to this enchanting fabric, for the
loneliness of summer velvet cannot
be visualized by the mere telling.
Unless you have seen summer vel
vet you are due for surprise for
it is not all-velvet by any means.
Imagine, if you can, sheer filmy
mousseline de sole or chiffon or
dainty organza background strewn
with exquisitely delicate interviewer
velvet designs or motifs, well that's
summer velvet.
The idea of costuming the bride
and her attendants in summer vel
vet becomes the more intriguing in
that most fascinating play on color
is made possible for the velvet mo-
tits can be any color you choose.
The scheme is worked out in this
manner for the gowns pictured.
White mousseline de sole patterned
with tiny winged motifs of white
velvet is used for the youthful we'd
ding gown as here shown. The bride
wears pearls and a diamond clip
at the low V-shape decolletage. Her
bouquet is the new idea-pale Law
ender orchids carried in handle
of carved prystal, forming a fan eff
feet.
The matron of honor to the right
in the picture also wears summer
velvet-white mousseline de sole with
green velvet motifs posed over a

matching green slip. The sash is OF
bands of matching green velvet and
pale yellow. The hat, new version
of the poke bonnet, is in the same
green shade with huge bow and
long streamers of wide green vel
vet ribbon. The matron of honor's
bouquet is of palest yellow a n
white freesias. Her Arts gloves are
white glace kid with delicate en-
broidery in gold thread. Emeralds
are set in necklace and clip. White
and yellow are worn by each of the
other bridesmaids with jewelry
tuned to correspond. These frocks
can be worn all summer.
Completing the scheme for this
summer wedding the brides moth
er, pictured to the left, wears the
same summer velvet fabric but in
a patterning of delphinium blue bow
knots on a silk sheer with tiny flow
ers of delphinium, with a velvet
sash of matching color. When the
jacket is removed the dress has. a
low formal neckline. Her hat is a
smart new tricorne of navy straw
with tiny flowers of delphinium. The
dainty corsage is of lilies of the
valley in the center of which are
a few delphinium blossoms.
For that something different"
look that brides covet for their we'd
ding pageantry here are few sug-
gestions. If the bridesmaids have
long streamers to their hats clever
touch is to snap one of the streamers
about the right wrist under brace
let bouquet. Then there is the idea
of wells for the bridesmaids. These
are of tulle in colors related to each
costume. They are waist depth and
fall gracefully about the shoulders.

LACE FOR SUMMER
BRIDE NEW STYLE
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

The June bride will be fashion
ably attired this season when she
chooses lace for her gowns. With
the present vogue for lace for day
time wear, for evening gowns, and
for the highly popular house coats
and delicate negligees, the roman
tic appeal of this material makes it
a favorite for wedding gowns and
bridesmaids dresses.
Cut on classic lines, the beautiful
lace patterns of this season allow
for exquisite details of workman
ship for the bridal gown. One love-
ly gown seen recently is perfectly
simple in line but has fine details
of appliqued seamings at the point
below the hips where the slight full
ness starts. The very full train,
and the skirt and neck edges like
wise, have an appliqued scalloped
edge of lace. This intricate treat
ment shows to advantage particu-
larly as the veil is quite short and
does not fall to the train. In gen.
eral these lace wedding gowns
have shorter wells so that their deli
cate patterns are not obscured.

anything to keep Mother from feel

He had confided to Victoria that

Wedding Parties Dressed
All in Lace Is Fashion

Wedding parties dressed entirely
in lace are in the fashion picture
this year. One of the best we have
seen is of all-white peau DANCE in
a Chantilly pattern for the bride.
There were no seams to the dress,
avoiding any unnecessary line that
might interfere with the beautiful
pattern of the lace, and the edges
throughout were entirely hand-ap-
pliqued. A matching mantilla head
dress was worn with this wedding
gown.
The wedding party, all in lace,
made a charming and appropriate
setting for the bride. The brides
maids dresses were of novelty all
over lace, in pastel shades. The
headdresses, in contrast with the
mantilla of the bride, were formed
like hood, from the collar at the
back.

Early Sheffield Plate

Early Sheffield is most valuable
for reasons other than its age.
The silver coating is much thicker
and its style simpler, though oc-
casionally little clumsy. So law
ish were the smiths with their sill
yer in the early period that, more
than a century and a half later,
hardly any copper can be seen at
all in the old pieces, while in those
made later it sometimes is more
evident than the remaining silver.

CARELESS DRIVING
(By John Jaster, Jr.)


Reckless or careless driving is re-
sponsible for the greater part Of the
yearly toll of automobile accident
victims.
Approximately 1000 persons are
killed annually in Ohio--killed not
by automobiles but by automobile
drivers. The number killed by auto
mobiles-by mechanical failures
such as steering knuckles or axle
breakage, ETC., for examples neg
|ligible Modern motorcars are SO
we'll constructed that they seldom
fail mechanically.
On an average one driver in about
|845 will kill somebody in Ohio this
year In 1896 there were some g.
242 fatalities among the approxi-
mately 100000 passenger cars and
trucks registered in the state.
And these fatalities will continue,
increasing if anything, just SO long
as a great many motorists persist in
believing that program of traffic
safety is meaningless.
Motorists who laugh at safety
measures need to remember that
death is no laughing matter The
motorist who doesn't learn safety
now may never learn it, for you
can't teach him safety after he is
dead.

FIRING THE BOSS

Recent press dispatches from Mil
waukee told how employees of drug
company went on a sit-down strike
against the boss. They finally fore
ed retirement of the man who was
the principal owner of the company,
and who had been president and
general manager for 81 years.
Disregarding the question Of
whether the charges against the boss
were justified, this sit-down strike
that confronts the American people.
The issue is this: Does the man
whose efforts have let him accumu
late something have the right to say
what he shall do with what he has
accumulated?
For clarity, let's translate that in
to everyday language. The question
is this: Does the man who buys Il
grocery store have the right to run
that store? Does the home owner
have right to be boss of his home?
Does the farmer have the right to
run his own farm?
The parallels are exact. In the
Milwaukee case, the drug company
happened to have 115 employees.
But by their sit-down strike, they
were saying to the man who gave
them their jobs: 1--WE don't like the
way you run this business. We.
think you had better get out and
turn the business over to somebody
who will run it the way we want it
run. 1t may be your business, but
by George we're going to run it our
way!"
Nothing more sharply illustrates
the choice which the American peo-
pie must make Shall we choose
the Milwaukee way, placing in the
hands of noisy minority the rights
and powers to regulate our exist
ence, creating power without re-
sponsibility? Or shall we preserve
the principles for which Americans
have fought and died for $50 years
the right to accumulate and own
private property; the right to gov
ern by majority will; the right to-
engage and prosper in any lawful
business we choose?
