Aimee Semple Mcpherson. was iskod today by Dr. Gladwyn Nichols, aelf exiled leader of a Urge group of revoltera from Alt glus Temple io reopen her fa mous kidnapping trial and hold It this time before a court composed of members of the temple. Los Angeles, July 28?I API ? The walls of Angelus Temple echoed anew with dltcor! today hh Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother J of Aimee Semple McPherson, the pastor warned that " a erisli ??>! near," in the dispute between the, two women leaders. Four alternative futures of "Mother Kennedy were held out j by the committee appointed l?y| her daughter. They offered to per mit Mrs. Kennedy to remain att the temple as "the evangelists? mother." or to permit her to tour the world or visit the Holy Laud at the church's expense. They sug gested that she might carry on r-.-i liglous work in other fields if she liked. In concluslun the commit-^ tee suggested that Mrs. Kennedy j return to her "wealthy hushanl.i W. Whittebcck. who is a well to! do engineer on a big Hudson Itiv er liner." This last, like the three other proposals, struck no favorable, note with Mrs. Kennedy. Although there have been reports from time to time that Mrs. Kennedy had married since her first husband died. The statement by her daugh ter's committee was the first an nouncement that had been made f regarding it. % Mm. Kennedy said she was not < divorced from Whlttebock hut. that she had no intention of mak-j ing her home with him. "The crisis could have been | avoided." said Mrs. Kennedy "when I attempted to hold a con-, ferencc with Mrs. MoPherson." ' She said sbe had called her: daughter on the telephone yes-', I terday only to have the receiver" hung up before she could say a word. The evangelist had a different ? version of the affair. "Mother used language that I could not bear others to hear If they were listening in on our party line." Mrs. McPhcrson said. "I tried to tell her that it would be a ruination for us If her lan guage to her daughter was heard by others. I hung up waited for, five minutes until sbe had cooled off and then called her again." Mrs. Kennedy denied her daughter had called her the sec ond time. "That statement Is untrue." j she declared. "I did not use any but the best language at my com mand and my daughter did not call me again." The row between mother and daughter threatened to involve questions surrounding Mr*. Mc pherson's story of kidnapping. Mrs. Kennedy told reporters how she had defended her daughter I when the evangollst was under I fire In that case declared she had j>?ken blames for the temple pas L" lor and stood shoulder to should r er with her daughter. She denied vehemently a published report that she had doubted the evange list's story. WILKES COUNTY IS TOI'SY TUKVY AND SO IS BANK OF WILKES Wlntton-Salem. July 28.?(AIM j ?
