 People will do anything for money" said Purnell. "All my life have had to fight against attempts to blackmail me. made by those whom I have sheltered.
 T am innocent of the charges against me. I hope for an early trial that may prove it. They (his &C., cusers) all lie, they have tasted the fleshpots of Egypt. They will do anything for gold"
 Purnell attacked the character of the young women who charged the king had taken advantage of them under the cloak of blood purifying rites while they were girls in the colony. He repeated the assertion of his followers that he Is being perse cuted. He declared he is the brother of Christ, that he Is immortal and that In short time there will be witnessed the consternatlon of his enemies.

CITY HALL EXCITED BY SHAKE.UP TALK Rumors of Swinging Axe in
 Public Works Dept. WILLIAMS DENIES STORY
City Engineer Says Board Docs Not Contemplate Removal of Seven Foremen and Inspectors Although Meeting is Held Today.

While foremen and inspectors of the board of public works anxious ly awaited the verdict of a special meeting called at noon today at which 1t was rumored a shakeup in the department was to take place, the commissioners gathered and transacted routine business, after which it was denied that house cleaning is planned.
 Rumors which had spread through the department of public works and city hall forecast the re- moval of seven employees, including several foremen and some inspec- tors. Meetings of the board are ordinarily held in the evening and when a special session was called for this noon, some credence was placed in the report.
 City Engineer Joseph D. Williams said he knew of no movement to curtail the staff of foremen and in spectors. Completion of the more important jobs will cause the serv- ices of about 30 laborers to be no longer needed and these will be dropped from the force when the work is finished, he said. The en- gineer favors maintenance of the present staff of executives since he believes 1t is a better policy to main- tain an organization familiar with the work than to form a new staff each year. There is little difference in the matter of finance. he ex- plained. since monetary inducement is necessary to draw men who are not certain of year-around work. Those now employed can be utilized in various capacities during the win ter months, Williams said. and they will then be available to begin op- erations next spring,
 The board today refused to al- low the new pavement on West Main street to be torn up to permit the Rather Construction Co. to make a sewer connection at Vine and West Main streets, and the company was instructed to connect in Vine street. Changes in the sewerage system planned for a new apart ment house at this point will be necessitated. but the board notified Rather to make his connections be- fore the pavement was laid and he failed to do so. 1t was pointed out.
 Berson Brothers were given a permit to place three 10000 gal lon fuel oil tanks at 50 Harvard street.

Somerville, N. J., Nov. 22.-One of the most dramatic moments of the trial IS near at hand. Before the day is over l expect to see Mrs. Hall on the witness stand. If not today, then l believe she will go on to- morrow. Anyway l am keenly alive with anticipation.
 Regardless of how I feel toward Mrs. Hall personally, she has been a great factor in my life for many years, and she is definitely connect cd with my great unhappiness. whether she had anything to do with the death of my mother or not. Sometimes my mind rambles wildly about the ifs and why's and where flores of my mothers love and death, and l wonder how things might have turned out if Mrs. Hall had been different kind of woman.
 Suppose she had been a warm whole hearted woman. and pr. Hall had really loved her. Then perhaps he would not have turned to my mothers friendship for consolation in his unhappness, and that friend ship would not have ripened into love. But Tn that case, what about mother? She would have gone on living her drab gray life. eating out her heart for sympathy and under standing and the better things of life. Oh. sometimes I get all mixed up in trying to figure it out. Life Is so strange. There is so much suffer- ing in the world. Why, oh, why must 1t be that way?
 If Mrs, Hall had been B different kind of woman Dr. Hall could have gone to her and asked for his freedom, and she would have giver 1t. I can't understand how any wom. an could want a man who doesn't really love her. And surely she mus,
