BHEICU PROMISE sun
LOS ANGELES. July 11. —Myrtle
Joan St. Pierre was “an outraged
woman” and David Hutton was just
a big genei’ous boy, according to
the various counsels’ perorations to
the jury Saturday as the trial
brought by the attractive nurse to
recover $200,000 breach of promise
from Hutton drew to a close.
However, Hutton’s thoughts were
far from the crowded courtroom
and he scarcely listened to his at
torneys heaping praise upon him
and addressing the panel. The 250
pound chorister of Angelus Temple
was worrying over the condition of
his wife Aimee Semple McPherson
Hutton who had suffered a relapse
because certain aspects of the trial
caused Mrs. Hutton’s turn for the
worse. Hutton was drawn and hag
gard Saturday after a sleepless
night spent at his wife’s retreat
in Arrowhead Hot Springs, 60 miles
from this city.
The case was finally given to
the jury and after deliberating for
some time they brought in a ver
dict awarding Myrtle St. Pierre
$5,000 damages.
Sharp exclamations of indigna
tion from one side and modified
expressions of approval from the
other greeted the verdict.
When Aimee heard of the deci
sion she collapsed and her condi
tion Sunday was described as pre
carious.
