Scott Kidder Was Indiscreet With Miss Paine, but Frees Him. KEEP UP PROSECUTION. Says Clear Case Was Made Out and Hé Will Push Fight on Minister. Assistant Prosecutor James Mc- Carthy of Hudson County announced this afternoon that he will take the charge of assault preferred by six- teen-year-old Ethel Paine of Bay- onne, N. J, against Rev. Scott Kid- Wer, pastor of St. John’s Episcopal Church, before the Grand Jury tn Jersey City to-morrow. This an- nouncement followed the dismissal hy Recorder Mara, after a trial, of the complaint against the minister. “I don't want to lay mynelf open to contempt of court," said Mr. Me- but inumy judgment we made lain case, wich corroboration, against Dr, Kidder, I shall take the girl, her mother and Capt.-Gridin of the Bayonne Detective Bureau before the Grand Jury and ask for an indict- ment.” Recorder Marfa, in pronouncing judgment, characterized the conduct as “indiscreet,” but to warrant the Court of assault and battery. The claim that the girl was assaulted was besed upon caresses offered by the minister on Jan, 26, when Capt. Griffin wi secret wit- ness, and on previous occasions, COURT-ROOM WAS JAMMED + DURING TRIAL. “A case of this kind,” said the Re- corder, “ordinarily attracts but little attention, This case wouldn't have been so sensational but for the fact that the accused is a minister of the wospel, A majority of the scandal loving rubbernecks who are infesting this court to-day wouldn't be bere if a minister waen't involved.” ‘The courtroom was jammed and the overflow was all over the neighbor- hood when the case was called. Dr. Kidder’s wife, heavily veiled, sat with him in the courtroom.’ His father, who is a minister in Red Bank, N. J., sat near bim, Several clergymen were grouped back of their accused associate and practically all the women of St, Jobn's congregation bad front seate. ‘The defense was that the Paine girl, her mother, Mrs, Mary Paine, and her grandmother, Mrs. Lees, had conspired to rob the minister of his character. ‘They lured him to the house, his law- yer said, threw the girl in his way and hid a@ detective in an adjoining room.

Glynn end National Chairman William F. MoCombs dis- cussed the political situation in New York State for fifty minutes to-day. Despite the reticence on the part of all the conferees it was learned that the result of the conference was that Gey. Glyan will be a cendidate to succeed bimeslf aad that Mr. Me Combs will seek the Senatorial nom- inatfen. : From reliable sources it was learned that this programme was decided upon after an agreement had been reached whereby the National Administration would throw its full weight behind the Glynn administration in New York. The plans of the adopted programme provide for the elimination of George M. Palmer, present State Chairman and the selection of William Church Osborne in his stead. GLYNN TO FORCE PALMER OUT AS STATE COMMITTEE HEAD. No word from Chairman Palmer an to bis intentions regarding relin- quishing the chairmanship has been had, but Gov. Glynn believes he bas enough votes in the State Committee to force the resignation of Palmer, a Tammany man, and the election of Mr. Osborn. Action looking to this change in the State Committee will be begun at once in order that the committee which will serve during the active campaign before the primaries in September can be the better organ- ised and in the control of the men whom the Governor can count upon for full support. A new committee consisting of 150 members will be elected this fall under the new pri- mary law. you can bet I got out of there in a hurry.”" Dr, Kidder said that Ethel was ic, He admitted that on occa- sions previous to that specified in the complaint he had rubbed her legs up to her knees, The girl wears skirts of ankle length, Ethel Paine, a pretty child, well de- veloped for her age, was the first wit- ness.

MRS. COLT'S REPLY TO DEMAREST SUIT MUST BE AMENDED Court Orders the Objection- able Features of Sensational Document Stricken Out. (Apeial to The Krening World.) BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Feb. 9.—The motion of counsel for Warren G. Dem- arest, millionaire automobile and ear- riage builder of Bridgeport and New York, to expunge from the record parts of the answer of Mra, Elisabeth B, Colt to Mr, Demarest’s sult against her for $60,000 for slander, was before Judge Curtis in the Supreme Court to-day, It was contended that the answer was malicious, scurrilous and libelous. The basis of Mr. Demurest’s suit was @ letter written to Mrs, Theron Atwater jr. of New York by Mrs. Colt in November, 1912. The letter regretted that Mrs. Atwater had not been in court when Mrs, Colt won her sult against Mr, Demarest for $1,260 on an automobile deal. “It in too bad you were not there to Wold your dear Warren's hand,’ he wrote; also, “Oh, Grace, how |could you let yourself be in the power of wuch @ rotten Iittlte cad?” also, jafter speaking of the future of Mrs. Atwater’s son: “fo be decent and get a divorce and live for him and not for these lrotten men.” There were other parts of the letter just as vehement, The letter was mailed to Mrs, Atwater at ‘her husband's business address, with the intention, Mr. Demarest charged, that the husband should open it and entertain unbased suspicions against Mr. Demarest and Mrs. Atwater, | In her re Mr it said the let. ter was Dyker in malice and jwas sent Sar. Atwater's office be- | cause the family had recently moved; | the expression “rotten little cad” was |not*meant maliciously or in a derog- atory sense, but merely as a charac- [terization “in the ordinary sense of | zation of ply any impropriety or undue inti- macy between Mr. Demurest and Mra, Atwater, Sho wrote, she sald, be- cause she believed Mr. Demarest not to be @ man of moral character and that he wan addicted to dissipation; also that Mr, Demarest had made re- beated efforte to gain the friendship of Mra, Atwater and had made im. proper proposals to her. Representatives: of Henry ¥F, Parmalee, counsel for Mr. Demareat, were informed by the Court that the features of Mre. Colt'’s answer to which they objected might be atricken out. Mrs. Colt is the wife of Harris D. Colt of the New York law firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost & Colt. She has been much in the courts because of differences with husband, who once started suit for aration on the, ground that she was given to the exceasive use of intéxicants. They took turns kidnapping their young son from each other until thecourta took him under guardianship.
