He claims bringing $10,000,000 in gold and parchments with the five books of Moses from Baron Hirsch in Mexico. Dowie asserts the funds are a bequest to aid Russian Jews. Mrs Dowie says she will stand by her husband despite sins, praying to cast out an unclean spirit. She alleges Dowie planned a seven wife polygamy and a Paradise colony in Mexico, and urged divorce from her to marry the proposed brides. Dowie’s followers recount violent threats as they resisted his proposals. A report from Zion City suggests Dowie now aims to play Moses, abandoning Elijah.
