Navy Chief Hears Love Letters
Read in Court as ? Wives Listen

Chief Garrett testified last week
that he married his blond wife in
San Diego. Calf, on March 8, 1896,
and his brunette wife at Ellicott
City. Md, on May 4, 1887.
On the stand today, Chief Garrett
admitted he is the father of Mrs.
Margaret CARROTS 14-year- -old
daughter. He denied. however. that
he had a husband-wife relationship
with the brunette Mrs. Garrett be-
fore their marriage.
Attorney A. Albert Mickler, repre-
senting Mrs Margaret Garrett, then
asked, isn't it true that after you
knew the baby had been conceived
you would hold yourself out as her
husband and would tell people you
were married before the child was
conceived?"
When Chief Garrett denied this,
Mr. Mickler advanced on him with
a stack of love letters. Both wives
smiled as Mr.. Mickler read:
MY Darling Little Wife: I Just
wonder how you are getting along.
I am so lonesome for you I don't
know what to do. =
Be a sweet little girl and remem-
ber I am thinking of you. Your low
ing husband, Laurence.
The brunette Mrs. Garrett whis-
pered frequent advice to her attor-
ney as he hammered at the ner-
vous husband under cross-examina-
ton, while the blond Mrs. Garrett
looked at him consolingly.
Chief Garrett has told the court
that he loves his blond wife and
wants her matrimonial status firm
ly established. He said he does not
love the brunette Mrs. Garrett and
married her while he was intoxi-
Gated after she pleaded with him
to give name to their daughter.
Judge F. Dickinson Let's told op-
posing counsel this morning that
the critical period" in the case
comprised the 8 months and IT
days that elapsed between August
1S, 1896, when Chief CARROTS di-
vorce from a first wife, Mrs. Man.
cite Garrett. became final and May
4, 1887, when he married Mrs Mar
garet Garrett. His marriage to
Mrs. Ruth Garrett took place five
months before the final decree was
handed down in his divorce case.
Judge Let's said that if Chief
Garrett can prove that in the short
period between the grantinc OF the
divorce decree and his marriage to
the brunette, Chief Garrett estab-
lished common law relationship"
with Mrs. Ruth Garrett he can
properly contend that his marriage
to Mrs. Margaret Garrett was void
Mrs. Margaret Garrett has filed
cross suit for divorce on the
grounds that her husband COM
mitted adultery with Mrs. Ruth
Garrett. She is asking mainte-
nance for herself and support for
their daughter.

Church Can n'tCondone
Race Discrimination,
Dean Suter Asserts

Racial discrimination cannot be
condoned in Christian doctrine and
the church should never initiate the
low standards which appear here
and there in secular society, the
Very Rev. John w. Suter, dean Of
Washington Cathedral, said in a
sermon yesterday.
Dean Suter did not refer directly
to the recently published report of
the National Committee on Segre-
grafton in the Nations Capital, but
he said the problem of discrimina-
ton against colored people is partly
economic and partly social.
The employer in filling jot
should not discriminate on the basis
Of color, he said. In such social
matters as attendance at plays or
athletic contests, or where to sit in
public conveyance, Dean Suter
said, THE fact of color should play
no part"
Points to Moral Teachings.
Mote the use of the word should
which indicates that these are
moral problems he continued.
The church tries to inculcate in
the minds and wills of its members
such standards of moral behavior
as will make them act in line with
the church's teachings in all their
relationships. whether economic.
social. political, professional
Some church members will fol-
low the church's teachings more
closely than others, but the church
goes right on teaching the same
Christian doctrine, come what may
The church acts as influence: it is
the guardian of the conscience of
society.
1T does not write the laws, of
the city or the state, nor does it
lay down the rules of business.
Rather it works on the hearts and
consciences of lawmakers, business
men, politicians and teachers. and
