Purnell Out Then He Goes Back In Again
Benton Harbor reports on Benjamin Franklin Purnell the 69 year old leader of the House of David colony. He was seized by state police from his quarters and released on 50 000 bond then rearrested when a retrial court found the bond unsatisfactory. Bonds totaling 120 000 were posted by eight Benton Harbor businessmen as charges of criminal assault were brought by two former girl members. The feeble old man, aided by his wife Queen Mary, preaches a doctrine that he is the brother of the Savior, a belief that has driven the colony’s history since their 23 years in the Kentucky hills and subsequent move to Detroit.

Colony founded by Mills followers grows to near thousand
The Par nells formed a Benton Harbor colony around Prince Mike Mills after his prison sentence for charges involving women. It swelled to almost 1,000 members by 1921 as Bamford sisters Ruth and Gladys denounced Mills and alleged he assaulted them within the colony. They cited blood purification rites as part of his liberities, while a worldwide hunt followed. Funeral arrangements are noted for Col John Keating in Maryland.
