HUTTON WILL GIVE
TESTIMONY TODAY
Sister of Nurse Suing Spouse
of Aimee McPherson Gives
Aid to Defense.
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 29.—David |
Hutton, the rotund choir .singer and '
husband of Evangelist Aimee Semple
McPherson, was to take the stand to
day to deny he was the fiery lover
pictured by Myrtle Joan St. Pierre. She
Is suing him for $200,000 for alleged
breach of promise.
The defense, opening its case yester
day. has a few more witnesses to sum
mon today to lay the groundwork for
its case by representing the 30-year-old,
twice-married nurse as "a woman with
β past." Hutton was to follow them on
the stand.
Plaintiff's Sister Testifies.
Drama supplanted the humorous side
of the case with the appearance on the
stand of Mrs. Gladys Cassill, sister of
the plaintiff. The sister testified for
Hutton.
Mrs. Cassill told the court her sister
had drunk wine and otherwise dis
ported herself and once "danced, kick
ing high and showing off" before sev
eral male friends at a miniature golf
course.
Under crass-examination, Mrs. Cassill
denied she was attempting to harm her
sister, saying she "had to be subpoenaed
or the story would not be told about
her sister."
"Helping Her Find Self."
"I am trying to help her find herself,"
Mrs. Cassill explained.
"Isn't it a fact." asked Attorney
Lorin Andrews for Miss St. Pierre,
''that you told a friend they offered
you a signed check for $5,000 if you
would testify against your sister?"
"I don't remember," the witness
replied.
Mrs. Cassill admitted Hutton and an
investigator for Angelus Temple had
approached her, asking that she "try
to get in touch with Myrtle and get her
to start a new life."

That's the Chesterfield Cross-Blend ... an important reason

It isn*t just taking the tobaccos and mixing them hit-or-miss.
The Chesterfield Cross-Blend makes one type or one variety
of tobacco partake of the qualities of another. It "welds" to
