(By The Atmociated Pre*».)
Grand Rapids, Mich., March 21.—
Testimony intended to show that Ben
jamin Purnell, head of the Israelite
House of David colony at Benton liar
tor, "lived in regal splendor, while
Ids followers lacked plates from which
to eat their carrots and turnips," was
Introduced in federal court here to
day in the suit instituted by John
Hansell and ills wife against the cult.
The testimony was given by Mrs.
Kmma J.ozetta of Newark, N. ,T.,
f' nner evangelist for the sect and who
was a witness tor the plaintiffs. The
latter are attempting to obtain $80,000
from Purnell, claiming the sum due
them for property turned over to him
and for labor performed while they
were members of tit'1 colony.
Nearly Starved.
One winter the colony had a hard
time keeping body and soul together,"
Mis. Lozetta testified on direct exam
ination. "VVe nearly starved, but Ben
jamin and Iris wife, Mary, lived like
lords. They drank cream and ate
California fruits out of season at a
table set with costly silver."
A "spy system" existed in the col
ony by which Purnell learned of
every bit of gossip that went the
rounds of bis followers, the witness
testified. Fhe also said a mock trial
board was established and that se- j
i ret punishments were inflicted upon
those who failed to abide by Purnell's !
orders. Women who refused Pur
nell s advances, Mrs. I-nzetta testi
fied, were ostracized.

sion of Murder.
Washington. March 21—Ilow a half
breed Cherokee Indian. Charner Tide
well, languished from his youth for a
quarter of a century In federal pris
ons before being released on a base
less murder charge, was revealed in a
tragic story told today by the De
partment of Justice. Freed from the
charge by a death bed confession
after his years of suffering, the form
er prisoner is now enjoying the
wealth of inherited Oklahoma oil
lands.
Three presidents. Roosevelt, Taft
and Wilson, denied pardons to Tide
well upon reports from former At
torneys General Knox. Wlckerstaam
and Gregory that all evidence in the
murder case pointed positively, al
though circumstantially, to his guilt.
Friends of the prisoner, including
Senator Owen, former Senator Gore
and former Representative Alice Rob
ertson, pressed the investigation of
Tide-wells continued protests of In
nocence. Finally he was released from
Atlanta penitentiary upon a commu
tation sentence recommended by At
tory General Daugherty and Assist
ant Attorney General Grim, in charge
of criminal Investigations.
After President Harding's commu
tation a woman's death bed confession
in Oklahoma revealed that Tidcwell
had been convicted of murdering her
husband upon perjured testimony.
