“King" Betrayed Trusting Young
Girls In the Naffia of Religion
By Associated Press.
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 28.—
The* House of David colony and Ben-
jamin and Mary Purnell, its leaders,
were characterised as frauds in a
written decision filed by Judge John
E. Sntcr today.
Judge Sober, in his opinion,
awards compensation to John and
Margaret Hansel for their services
while members of the colony.
“Benjamin Purnell has taught bis
religious creed so os to cause some
of the female member* of the colony
to submit themselves to him,” the
judge’s decision read. “In the name
of religion he persistently has be-
trayed a considerable number of
credulous and trusting young girls
and women. Because of the secrecy
enjoined by him on his victims,
knowledge of his relation^ with them
did not extend to thet members of the
society, excepting a relatively small
number.
Whether the evidence of the plain-
tiffs or that* of the defendanta ba
considered alone, “a low moral tone”
existed in the colony and has gone
unpunished and in almost all cases
unrebuked, the judge’s decision de-
clared. The judge said he was cer-
tain from the testimony that not only
pretty thefts, but unmoral practices
had been carried out.
The judge declared “steady ef-
forts have been made to deceive pub-
V
Bergman shortly before. The
car that hit the boy dragged his body
for half a block but did not stop. H.
V. Wilder, the policeman making
the arrest, said the preacher was
drunk.
Albert Guise, age 12, was serious-
ly injured In another accident. The
boy ran in front of a car and the
driver could not stop, according to
the policeman witnessing the acci-
dent.
No arrest was made.
