to face his accusers.
An immense crowd was at the station TO greet
him. Escorted by a number OF loyal followers

to fight vigorously to get him to his carriage-

move could be made the police had thrown him
over nearby railing. 1t was afterward learned
the man was deputy sheriff who was endeav-

suit in which a medical expert claimed that fees
10 the extent of $500 had been due him for sew

Dowie very little. and he assisted into a
carriage and driven TO the Auditorium Annex

After a short rest Dowie conferred with his
legal advisers the greater part Of the evening
Dovie said enphatically that there would be no
compromise with Voliva, and that Dr. John
Alexander Dowie must be the leader OF Zion
