MAYATTACH DOWIE'S CHARIOT
PERSONS LAWYER ASKS $1,000
FOR LEGAL SERVICES.

He Sues the Hosts Leader and Gets an
Attachment on His Property in This
State - DOwicites SILVER and Go
Hungry on Excursion Down the Bay.
An attachment which, it is understood,
will be served on Ell III Dowie's chariot
by Robert M. Farley, who was counsel for
j. Luther Pierson. Pierson is the faith
cure man who was fined $500 by County
Judge Lent Of Westchester for allowing
his infant daughter to die Of pneumonia
while he prayed for the return of her health I.
This fine was sustained by the Court Of
Appeals and was paid by Pierson yesterday.
Farley brought suit in the Supreme
Court ct White Plains yesterday against
Dowie for 81 900 for legal services and
took an att athment against Dowie's prop
erty in this State. The papers were turned
over to Sheriff O'Brien to serve, and he
gave them to Deputy Sheriff James FL.
Wallace.
Farley says that when Pierson was con-
victed Dowie engaged him, Farley, by
letters and kilograms, to appeal the case.
But when Dowie declared himself to be
Elijah, Person resigned from Zion and
joined the Holy Ghost and U.s. society
of Shiloh. Mr.. Dowie's interest in him
naturally decreased.
Farley says that his original bill was
$1,000 and that Dowie has raid him only
s14O on account. The briefs Of Mr.. Farley
in behalf of Person contained 100 900 words,
and he also expended several hundred
dollars for printing the case.
Deacon Barnes, who represents Dowie
in all legal matters. said last night that
he had had some correspondence with Far
ley in regard to his bill and that he ex-
rected it would be settled without the
attachment being served. He said that
DR.. Dowie regarded Farleys charges AS
exolbitant and thought they ought to be
about 5000.
Farley, he said had written to him when
Perscn, his client, left the Christian Catholic
Church to the effect that he would carry
the suit to a conclusion whether DR.. Dowie
supported him or not, and DR.. Dowie,
Deacon Barnes sid, did not think that
he should I've held accountable for the
charges which Farley has made for his
services since Piers n left the Church.
Dowie's two horses and his two carriares
are sta bed at Robert Halls Livery stall lie,
Al East Sixty-second street. At a late our
last night they had not been attach, d,
One rig went o the Grand Central Stat on
to meet Dowie at 1890 o'clock, but the
Prophet failed to show up.
While Dowie was in Boston yesterday

sink of iniquity," sight seeing.
The excursion was late in starting, be-
cause Dowie had forgotten to put up $3.50
at the Office Of the steamboat company
from which he Lad chartered the boats
He had made a deposit of 500, but the
company refused to start the excursion
until the 'alar &c was Iaid. Most of the
