q strange story of "wife-swap-
ping" involved in an action re-
curing the lev. James c. Lam
bert, 44-ycar-old clergyman, to
show cause why he should not
be compelled to post bond to
keep the peace.
Municipal Judge Louis E.
Coash issued the shoW-cause or
der Monday on complaint of
Mrs. Marie Rice, 80 year old
Lansing housewife who accused
Lambert of threatening her life
after she ended what she de-
scribed as an illicit romantic
association with him. He re-
leased Lambert on $500 bond.
Lambert, pastor of the Lam
sing Gospel Temple, declined
to discuss the case.
The prosecutor said Mrs. Rice
related to him a story of having
accompanied Lambert to other
states and to Detroit, posing as
his wife while he displayed pic
lures of Palestine in churches,
and said he had confirmed her
story that sometimes married
couples "paired off with each
others mates" and accompan-
led them on these trips.
He said four persons whom
he summoned to his off e
frankly told of having made
such trips. The prosecutor said
there was no evidence any law
had been violated by them.
Anderson said Mrs. Rice, who
came here two years ago from
Asheboro, N. c., with her hus-
band, Emory c. Rice, told him
Lambert formerly lived in that
city and that she knew him
there.
She said Lambert induced her
husband and her, and some 9TH
