that he be allowed to perform his du-

state police, released under $4,000
bond and few hours later rear
rested when a circuit Judge held that
the bond was not satisfactory.
Later he was released on bonds
totalling $4,000 on lharges of
criminal assault preferred by two
former girl members of the colony.
The cult leader was forced to sup
ply $4,000 on each of two capiases
served in connection with damage
suits started by the girl complain
ants. This was in addition to the
two criminal bonds of $4,000 each.
1t was no dashing philanderer
whom police found when they en-
tered the colony's administration
building. Instead, there was a feeble
old man, hardly able to walk with
out assistance, taciturn. silent man
who admitted his identity and then

PurnelI left the Kentucky footballs
more than q quarter of century
ago to preach his strange doctrine
that he is the brother of the Saviour
and that those who will believe with
him will be immortal.
The Purnells went to Detroit and
became members of the colony of
the notorious Prince Mike" Mills.
When Mills was sentenced to prison
on charges involving women. the
Purnells came to Benton Harbor and
founded their colony which ~grew
from a handful to a membership OF
nearly 1000 at its peak. in 1871.
Two sisters-Ruth Bamford Reed
and Gladys Bamford Rubel-made
the charges which prompted
world wide search for the man who
once was denounced by federal
Judge John e. Slater as the man
who plated sin with the gold Of re-
ligion."
The girls. one twenty, the other
twenty two years old, swore that
Purnell had criminally assaulted
them while they were members Of
the colony. Blood publication
rites" was the only explanation the
king made for the liberties the
Bamford sisters charge were taken,
not only with them but with other
girl members of the colony.
The state thwarted quick move
by the colony to obtain Purnelfs re-
lease pending his examination set
for December %. when 1t obtained
ruling from Circuit Court Judge
Charles E. White that the bond post
ed by two members of the colony
for Purnells freedom was not salts
factory. The $4,000 bond was
signed by eight Benton Harbor bust
ness men.
Judge White held that the colony
property Is in trust and therefore IS
not legal security.
Four thousand dollars in rewards
was the lure that brought q definite
tip to the authorities Of PurnelFs
whereabouts.

Redman Questions
And Mentions Needs

Portland, Me-, Nov. 17-Expend-
itures of money in campaigns and
need OF spiritual touch" were
dwelt upon by Candidate Redman,
speaking here today. Il WISH" he
said. ito PROFOUND these questions
and from this platform and through
the press of Maine to ask my op-
ponent the following:
IF it Is established that over six
hundred thousand dollars was spent
for senator elect Ware in a three
million dollar Pennsylvania Primary
Campaign and that over half mil
lion was spent for senator elect
Smith in the Illinois Primary, would
you vote to unseat them?
do you. Mr.. Gould, believe that
man of large means is justified In
spending money out of proportion to
that spent by other candidates In a
primary campaign, even though his
demeanor in life is one of integrity
and honor?
1.-THE great need In America today
Is that spiritual touch. the idealism
which carries to higher plane than
merely that of prosperity and takes
US out of the realm of politics bought
and paid for. America turned down
and ruthlessly cast aside idealisna
only to awaken so recently to the
deep realization of, how much we
need 1t in our public life.
To quote that great leader of the
american forces in the World War,
General Pershing. In q recent Chi
cago speech: II the time ever comes
when public offices can be virtually
bought and sold then the downfall
CT the Republic is not far off. ss
The presumption that large expendi-
lures for campaign purposes may be
made without ulterior motive does
not appear Warranted
