CHICAGO, April 5.-John Alexander
Dowie's alleged domestic tyranny was
laid bare before 25O overseers, elders
deacons, deaconesses and teachers at
a meeting in Zion university building
this evening. Nearly every officer of
the church addressed the meeting
which lasted five hours without inter
mission. Mrs. Jane Dowie, wife of the
deposed First Apostle" told in detail
Dowle's conduct toward her during
the past two years. At the close of
her recital the officers were called upon
to decide by vote whether the course
adopted by the overseerS should be
carried out. Only one vote was lack
ing to make approval unanimous. One
official asked for further time to con-
slider the matter before placing himself
ON record.
Mrs. Dowie related at the meeting
her. husbands alleged efforts to con-
vert her to the idea of plural marriage
1t was to further his plans for polyg
amy, she declared, that he developed
the paradise plantation" projected to
be carried out in Mexico.
Physical collapse of Mrs Dowie to-
day followed the circulation of rumors
that the party in favor of the First
Apostle" had grown so strong that a
serious conflict between the two fac
tions in Zion City might follow the
return of her husband. Friends of
Mrs. Dowie say that she expressed the
belief that bloodshed might result.
Early today she fell in a swoon while
in her home, and it was feared for
time that she had suffered a stroke of
paralysis. 1t was reported later that
she is suffering only from severe at
tack of nervous prostration.
Deprived of Estate
The appellate court today, by a de-
cision, deprived Dowie of $4,000 which
had been left to him by Frederick SUIT
ton, a New Zealander. The heirs of
Sutton brought suit to have the will
set aside on the ground of undue in
fluence, and won their case in the low
er court. Dowie appealed and the ap-
pellate court today decided against
him.
Attorneys acting for Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, the acting general overseer of
the Christian Catholic apostolic church,
