Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-28

They are all stopping at the house of Duss
and are hired by him. One of them is q
Hebrew named II. d. Silverfrein.
Silverstein has been made a travelling
salesman for the glass house by Mr.. Duss.
He is particularly friendly with the latter
and it has been discovered that he writes
letter almost daily to DR.. Teed. He is
looked upon as spy.
Money for the Prophet
Another charge against Mr.. Duss is I hat
he has been sending money to
Teed in sums of $3.50 at time. Affi-
davits were put In the hands
of Judge Heis, the attorney for the society,
the other day, to show that the money had
been sent. Nothing further has been done.
Duss being member of the society, has, of
course, ne money of his own, and it is
therefore claimed that what he sent to Teed
belonged to the Economics.
The following letter from San Francisco,
exposing some of Teed's practices, has been
received:
Mr.. o. c. Miller:
DEAR SRI received two papers lately in
which opinions are expressed by some one
in or from DR.. Teeds Chicago Home"
lind your name mentioned rs well as my
own. As DR.. Teed gave it out here last win
ter that you were in California as a detective
following him up to do him Dodlly
Chicago, every one of said gang under oath
to kill Dr. Teed, the modern God, and as you
Lave not yet done anything, but seem to at
tend to your own business, and as you re-
ferred to my name as one who had exposed
the Messiah here, / concluded to send you
some facts, which you can use at that end of
the road in whatever manner you deem ad-
yisable.
Four Years With the Prophet.
spent four years in the study of Teed's
theories and plans, by which he expects to
revolutfonize the world, and 1 know that
understand them. When he came here last
fall he claimed he had in his Chicago enter
prise 100000 worth OF property, and that
they had earned it in the printing
office and machine shop. he said
they were nearly out of debt.
/ very soon got money flowing his way here
to Chicago. He seemed uneasy about Chi
cago. He said he did not come direct from
there, but had come direct from Economy,
Pa, and had stopped of at Chicago for only
short time. He seemed glad to be away
from Chicago and seemed nervous about
matters there. He got a telegram that Mrs.
Reynolds was dead. He waited anxiously
for more news concerning her burial and
gave it away that he expected her once hus-
band to raise the devil when she died He
seemed glad that Mrs. Reynolds did die and
so expressed himself, but her husband made
no fuss about it.
He told that there was a. good, honest
society of Germans at Economy, Pa, who
were worth millions and that they said their
millions were for the Lord. He says, 81 am
the Lord, hence all this money is mine and
/ must have it," He tried ten years ago to
get in there. but after he went and preached
some two or three weeks for them, old
Father Henrici gave it out that they could
not use that kind of a God, therefore Teed
was dismissed without much ado.
DR.. Teed gave it out that he had 12 of his
people planted in the society: that Duss
was giving him money and sending money
to Chicago by hundreds and charging it up
to the expenses of the Economy
business; that Duss' wife was matron of the
house in which Father Henrici lives: that he
(Teed) had little German girl in the house
and that these two women had full charge
of the household. He said they are going
through the house searching every place
carefully for valuables, keepsakes, money,
etc, and as fast as they find anything it is
turned over TO God-Teed. He said he had q
beautiful silk scarf in his trunk that these
good people made 40 years ago to give to the
Lord when He comes. Teed says, 81 am the
Lord; it was made for me-"
