The Rev. Josiah Martyn Neifort. former assistant rector of St, James Church at Tist Street and Park Ave- nue, came all the way from his new pastorate at Presque Isle, Maine, to- day to defend himself in a suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Emilie Nei- fert which was called for trial to- day before Justice Giegerich., His surprise was complete when his 'tW@ children, Isabelle, sixteen, and Morton, fourteen, took the stand at noon and pictured him as playing the role of affectionate chiropodist to Miss Carrie Cooper, a comely nurse, who at one time attended him during a siege of rheumatism, but who became so dear to him, the children testified, that he called her “Carrie Baby” and “Dearie,” ‘The affectionate scenes took place, Isabelle told the court, in what was the clergyman’s rectory at No, 67 East 91st Street, Tears flowed from the witness's big blue eyes when she told how she informed her mother one day how her father was conduct- ing himself with Miss Cooper, who was then occupying a room in the clergyman’s apartment. A special key was made for the nurse, Isabelle explained to Justice Giegerich, “Miss Cooper,” said the youthful witness between sobs and hesitant glances at her father, “would recline on @ divan in father’s apartment. She was clad in a kimono. Father would knee! at her feet and trim her toe nails with a pair of scissors,” “What other unconventional things did you see in that apartment?” asked Attorney Nicholas Selvaggis repre- senting Mrs, Neifert. “Well, Miss Cooper would parade around father’s apartment in pa- james,” said the girl. “Once when I was in an apartment opposite father’s I sww him hug and kiss her. I quickly turned my head, fearing that other people in the room would see father’s actions.” Morton followed his sister to the witness stand. He said that frequent- ly his father had sent him to the movies with his sister and sometimes Isabelle would be permitted to spend the night with a schoolmate while Morton went to the shows, The clergyman, the boy testified, remained at home with the nurse, “When I would return sometimes and enter father’s apartment with- out his knowledge he would upbraid me,” said Morton, “The panel of Miss Cooper's sleeping room door was of glass and when I returned from the movies I could see the light quickly turned on within the room. Other testimony was to the effec’ that Miss Cooper had been in the employ of a physician in the ap: ment building where Dr. Neifert's sulte was located but after nursing him she took all her belongings and | moved into the clergyman's study. The Neiferts were married June 14, fifteen years later because, Mra, Nei- fert alleged, her husband drank to excess After the first parting in 1915, Mrs. Nelfert told the court, sh went to her parents’ home in’ Norfolk, Va., where, two years futer, her husband joined’ her and pleaded for forgive ness.
