COURT PROBES
FIR. DIVINE'S
WEALTH

collided with a car driven by Mrs.
Nina l. Bayless, white, of Aber-
deem, Md. Court appearances had
resulted i'm both the cult leader and
his staff Of "angols" saying they
did not know where the money
anne from to operate Divine's
peace missions.
But in the affidavit made by Mrs.
Verinda Brown, this mystery is
partially dispelled. She said hen
spiritual name was ar b e c a
Grace" and that the Harlem Mes
siah's hold upon her and her nus
band had become so great that all
their jewelry and most of their fur
niture had been given him.
81 paid all this money" the affi-
davit read, sin the belief that UNI
less did so was doomed to ever
lasting misery, and that by giving
this money to Father Divine / was
depositing it in a heavenly treas
ury and was in that way assured
Of eternal life and peace"
At one time his hold was so
treat that they gave him all their
remaining possessions, amounting
70 $5,317. Of this, she said, she
handed S4,016 directly to Father
Divine.
Lesselbaum pointed this out as
he reminded the court that the
cult leader declared under oath he
handled no money himself and "did
not know" where his funds came
from. The other obtained by the
lawyer directed the NJ e $ j h

followers of both races-to appear
in court Monday and tell why he
should not be punished for con-
tempt for making h o e state
ments.
At the same time, he was or
dered to show why he should not

the judgment of Mrs. Bayless. In
court proceedings previously he
has tried to avoid paying anything
by contending he handles none of

"If these facts seem improbable
in this enlightened age" continued
Mrs. Browns affidavit. 81 can only
explain by submission to Father
Divine's influence by indicating

die age with unlimited faith in di-
vine providence and quickness
and readiness through highly inn
questionable and emotional men,
tally to believe in human perfec-
ton and the brotherhood of man.
My husband has always sought re-
lief from an inferiority complex
resulting from the color of his skin
in the consoling thoughts of bles-
sed hereafter"
Although the wording showed
lawyers touch, the affidavit still
contained the simple facts of how
the Browns visited the old Divine
headquarters at Sayville, L. l., and
were so astounded by the sump-
tious meal served there and the
evidence of plenty that they soon

that many others gave up all their
belongings to the cult leader for
the same reason.
In the recent court proceedings,
Divine also said he knew nothing
of the payments or receipts in con-
nection with his automobiles, his
promised lands" near Kingston,
his headquarters heaven, and his
extension heavens and stores in
New York and other parts of the
nation.
But in an affidavit filed by Ar
thur Hasbrouck, white, Kingston
real estate man, it was asserted
that Father Divine had paid Has
brouck personally $1,000 in cash
for one of the promised lands.

nice, safe factory explosion some
place other than on the Yuha mesa.
Arrangements will be announced
later for range demonstration by
the marines either Jan. 81, 90 or 30,
when Imperial Valley folk can wit
mes fire problems and inspect the
