SWAINSDORO, Ga. Standing beside

the grave upon the casket of the man
with whom she had lived happily for
15 years nnd who was the father of
her filx children.
Women tried in vain to comfort her
and the scene was an unusually pain

young man who recently came here
from Joplln, Mo., and who had become
very friendly with Jewell, stepped
close to the widow and whispered a
few words through her heavy veil of

Jewell died on Tuesday and the

"Tho Widow Jewell ain't losing any

A common method of evasion was
for the young man, if under age, to
put a slip of paper, bearing the num

CHICAGO'S "ABSOLUTE LIFE"
CULT LEADER 18 CONVICTED
AND FACES PRISON.
CONDUCTED A 'LOVE JUNGLE'
Strange Conglomeration of Teachings
of a So-Called Religious Cult In
Which Women Disciples of the
Apostle Became Entangled.
Chicago. Evelyn Arthur See, re
fcaler of tho "absolute life." who was
convicted by a Jury In Judge Honore's
court on a charge of abducting Mil
dred Bridges, one of his girl disciples,
was released on $5,000 bail pending
the hearing of a motion for an appeal.
Tho penalty for tho crlnio which the
head of tho Rnclno avenue "love Jun
glo" was convicted Is an Indetermi
nate term ln"lho state penitentiary of
from ono to ten years.
Evelyn Arthur See was nrreoted In
his "templo" on Racine avenue Janu
ary 6, 1911, on complaint of Stephen
II. Dtldgcs, who charged tho abduc
tion ,of his daughter Mildred. Bridges
had at ono time been a follower of
Sco nnd had beeu made president of
the cult In return, It was asserted, for
his financial support. Mrs. Bridges
bIeo was a member of tho cult nnd at
tho trial she took the stand In See's
defense
Whllo tho state was investigating
the cr.so tho federal authorities also
took up tho quest to ascertain if there
had been any violation of tho "white
slave" act. See's wife sued him last
March for separate maintenance. The
Seos had been separated for years.
Following the filing of this suit the
safo in tho "templo" wa3 opened and
tho "revealer'B" book nnd papers, In
cluding tho manuscript of tho "Book
of Truth," were seized.
Some parts of the "Book of Truth"
have been published. Other parts, not
published but taught to the woman
and girl inmates of the love Jungle,
have been seised by tho United States
government and form the basis of a
prosecution against See In tho federal
courts. The federal authorities say
the matter Is unfit to send through the
malls.
See's counsel hoped for acquittal
largely on the testimony of four wom
en Mildred Bridges' and Mona Rees,
"high priestess" of the cult, testified
there had been no wrong at the Sco
apartments on Raclno avenue, and
Mrs. Rees and Mrs. Bridges took tho
stand and accepted responsibility for
tome of the declarations In the "Book
of Truth."
During tho trial, which dragged
along through several weeks and cost
the state $10,000, a strange conglom
eration of documents was offered as
Apostle See and Mildred Bridges.

In poems, documents patterned aftor
the nible and a spiritual dictionary,
were Introduced.
"Absoluto life, the all with" Is the
definition given of tho cult In the dlo

A kiss is defined as "when tho Ion

of man in God and God in man, there
