Miss Lockwood added that Mr.. Nc

night the jury went out waiting to see
if the lights in the jury room went
out indicating an agreement. and then
she told of how Mrs. Mckinney had ad-

AGED I0Wan Looks Like Twin
Brother of Son Who Dis
owns Him.

Chicago, June 21.-Disowned by his
son, John Murray Dowie, father of John
Alexander Dowie, the First APOSTLE
arrived in Chicago last evening alone
having left the seclusion of his cottage
in the village of Essex, Iowa, to refute
the assertions of his son and clear the
name of his dead wife.
The appearance of the old man in
Chicago was far different from that OF
his son when travelling. Instead of a
private car or special train, he stepped
from a Pullman coach, carrying two
antique valises which held the proofs
of the birth of John Alexander and the
old mans modest laundry.
Look Like Twins.
The 81 years difference between the
ages of the father and son have been
lost in the lines of the old mans face
and he looks as like the son as if they
were twin brothers. The bald head,
patriarchal beard. tall hat, and even
the voice and smile are the same.
You will need no papers to prove
that you are the father of the First
APOSTLE said Deacon Piper, who met
him at the station and escorted him to
his room at the Great Northern hotel.
"All that you need to do is to step
into the court room and tine Judge will
recognize you''
Denies Parentage.
He will receive no welcome from his
son. John Alexander Dowie has testi-
fed that the old man is not his father
and he will not recognize him as such.
