DOWIE'S CLOSING ARGUMENT
follower of Aliened Uritorrr Floek
to Court to ltrnr f.nst IMrn
of Defense.
CIIICAOO, Dec. 23. Tho closing argu
ment In tho suit against "Or," John Al
exander Dowlo for the appointment of a
receiver for his Zlon Lnce Industries wa
begun by Attorney Packard today In Judge
Tulley's court. Packard denounced the
action of Samuel Stevenson, Dowle's
brother-in-law, In having brought the suit
and expressed the hopo that his better
spirit would move htm to reconciliation
with 55lon. A strong plea was made to show
thnt Dowlc was not tnfalllablc. Attorney
Packard likened Dowlo to J. Plerpont Mor
gan as a grent organizer, but lie said he
doubtless made mistakes.
"Ho docs not claim to be more than
human," he snld, "for In the- bible S;.
James says Elijah was n man of like pas
slons with oursclvce,"
Mr. Packard In upholding Dowle's claims
as Elijah said that ho would prefer him nt
his bedside If ho wero nt the point of
Icnlh, rather than any skilled physician.
Mr. Packnrd Is not n member of Zlnn
congregation. "Dr." Dowlo nnd his wlfo
wera present In court with by far tho
largest number of followers thnt has yet
filled the court. During Attorney Pack
ard's recital of Dowlo'a Identity with
'Elijah, the restorer," Dowlo frequently
rolled his eyes upward nnd gazed at tho
celling nn though In prayer.
Following Attorney Packard's argument
for tho defense Attorney F. L. Reeves for
thu plaintiff likened Dowle to n devilfish
thnt twined Its arms about Its victims nnd
quieted him until it got a strangle hold.
Ho touched upon tho death of Mrs. Steven
son, wife of tho plnlntlff and sister nf
Dowle, and said that when Stevenson In his
grief sought out Dowlo ns brotbor nnd
priest, Dowlo gave him a cup of Kail and
called hlin muurdcrcr. Arguments In tho
case closed this afternoon and tho casu was
given Into tho hands of Judge Tulcy.
