Sanity Test Sought
For Woman Charged
With Love for Pastor
CHICAGO, Jan. 21—Mrs. Char
lotte Leland, whose husband, in a
petition for divorce, uiid she had
confessed love for the Rev. Carl D.
Case, pastor of the First Baptist
church, of Oak Park, will be asked
to submit to examination by an
alienist, Frederick A- Brown, attor
ney for the Rev. Case, announced
today.
“I think the examihation will
show that while she might have
loved Dr. Case, the reciprocation
was only in her own mind,” Brown
said.
Mrs. Leland, her husband charged,
confessed that the Rev. Case “fon
dled, petted and kissed her.”
Dr. Case faced his congregation
yesterday for the first time since the
divorce proceedings were made pub
lic. He did not preach, another min
ister having been engaged because the
Rev. Case was to have taken a vaca
tion. The accused pastor, however,
presided at the service.
A crowd filled the church to its
capacity. Many who have been ab
sent for some time came, they told
Dr. Case, “just to tell you we all
believe in you.” Resolutions of con
fidence were delivered to the pastor
during the service from other clergy
men in the fashionable suburb. Let
ters, flowers and telegrams were de
livered at the Case home through
out the day from many of
them Baptist ministers In other
cities.
