Caresses Blinded Her / - By International News Service. Chicago, 111., Jan. 28.—Mrs. Char lie tte I/elatul pictured her pastor, the Hew Doctor Carl D. Case, as a kisser, no less skilled than the sleek Latin heroes of the films, when she testi fied this afternoon in her husband's suit for divorce. The clergyman with whom she contends she sinned "four or five times" kissed her on one occa sion for five minutes, she said. So deft was the clergyman with her pursed lips, she testified, that the caress blinded her and brought no shock. "Did It make you angry? asked Frederick Brown, "friend of the court,” who is trying to prove the minister's contention that Mrs. Ce land is unbalanced with a complex for confession. "No, answered the witness. "Why not.” Brown insisted. “I was blinded.” “How were you blinded”? “Ite came at me so absolutely gradually, there was no shock and 1 just seemed to feel he thought he was doing right. I didn’t feel any the less love for my husband.” "Absolutely Gradually.” From tha point where she told how “lie came at me so absolutely grad ually,” Mrs. Leland’s story painted the clergyman In the guise of a oat creeping nearer to the robin. He kept a tryst, with her In her husband's home, she said, and "left the door open at a crack so he could see If anyone was coming. Mrs. Leland Indicated she was so mesmerized by his ardent love-tnak ing that she no longer tried to resist him when he placed his hand upon her knee. Then there followed a **series of revelations which brought scarlet to her cheeks and caused even spectators to avoid each other's gaze. One of these incidents, Mrs. Leland said, occurred when Dr. Case came lo her home after she had told him she wished to discuss church work with him. Again his ardor caused her to forget her lofty Intentions, Mrs. I.eland said, and his fervent embraces led her to submit to his advances. This visit she testified cams when her husnand, Albert Leland, was ab sent from home. When Brown Informed the court he was finished with the witness Mrs. Leland arose, swayed and nearly fell, upsetting a nearby glass of water in catching her balance. Bursts Into Tears. She hurst into tears and slunk toward a bench. "I'm glad It's over,” she sobbed. Her eldest son, John, a boy of 15, left Ills seat, wonder, disgust and sorrow struggling for possession in his face. He stalked past her, stopped before his father,'looked at him and sat down beside that parent in a limp heap. K was nearly the recess hour, ine spectators who had feasted on mor sels of scandal now unpacked pack age luncheons and nibbled patiently ai. sandwiches, waiting for court to begin Hs afternoon session, when Pr. Cast* is to take the stand and deny Mrs. Iceland's charges. Tho curious, jammed into the cor ridors outside and refused admission at one time caused Ike court to halt ^^Slrs. Iceland's story. There was a distu.Pance outside and tho judge asked a bailiff its na ture. He was told tlie mob was try ing to storm the courtroom. The bench ordered tho halls cleared. All tho while that Mrs. Leland tes tified, three alienists watched her through narrowed eyes. They were there officially to see If they could detect any signs of unbalance on the woman's part. pr. Case, whoso fashionable First Baptist church of Oik Bark congre gation have stood behind him loyal ly, has contended from the time A1 bert I.eland brought suit for divorce that the “confession letter” Mrs. 1/e land pinned to her pillow for her hus band to find was a "delusion” of the complex, he suspeets. ft was in this letter that she first told of her alleged relations with the minister.

Teaching Evolution Approved by Bryan .s Choice for President Lincoln, Jan. 28.—Chancellor Avery of the state university received the following letter from the biological faculty of the University of Florida. "During the recent days, wide pub licity has been given in the public prints to a statement attributed to President A. A. Murphree of this university, to the effect that he agrees with W. J. Bryan In con demning the teaching of evolution.
