LAW S[EKS BOWE,
 NEGRO PREACHER
WANTED AT HOT SPRINGS
Snatched Purse and $100, Police Say and Deceived Negress into
 Executing Deed.

Justice Bowe of Conway, negro, chief preacher and evangelist of the
 "SuncutIca' faith in Arkansas and known to his race m all sections, Is wanted at Hot Springs for three and possibly other violations of the law. One charge is that he snatched q purse talnlng $1O0 and made way with it. the negro robbed being leach to re port the leader of her caufch for such an act. An aged neEggss at hot Springs owned d valuable piece of land and Bowe is said to have hood Wlnked her into signing deed con- Veylng the property to him, telling tfe woman that 1t was only a small mortgage. His third manipulation was the alleged sale of lots in east ern Arkansas swamps at $25 each.
 Bowe has been the leader of the "Sanctified' or "Unknown Tongue" negro sect in Arkansas since it's first gained headway Its chief manifesto ton Is the utterances by it's believers ot numerous and sundry words in a language which is unknown and not possible understand iiy. BoWr an nualIy held a protracted meeting of the sect in Conway, and the time for the 1920 assembly is about due. Con- cernlng his operations at Hot Springs, the New Era has the following to say:
 Justice Bowe, negro preacher of the Sanctified Faith, had winning way and fetching disposition in af 1ars religious, and also, according to the reports that have been made to po ce Headquarters, he is looking to the solid side of life by laying in store for the rainy day of life that would come even to the sanctified of life.
 Bowe is charged with being a purse snatcher. One woman follower who had about a $100 accumulation in cash, claims that the Justice grabbed her purse and ran. She was recluct- ant about reporting the leader of her religion to the polce, so the Justice beat it, and the officers have sent out word for his arrest
 Now comes other reports. One is that Fuss Yeiser, one of the oldest, negro women of the city, was in- duced to convey a piece of property she had owned to the leader of the faith. It is claimed she was told she Wa sslgning up small mortgage, and that instead she signed deed.
 Also the follewrs now want a scheme investigated. They claim that Justice Bowe was selling lots in a tract in swamp lands of east Arkan- sas, for the sum of $25 each, but delivered no titles, and setting forth that if the owners quit faith or died out of the faith, the property would revert to the Justice. The police want Justice Bowe until they can make a full and complete investiga- tion of many charges.
