TELL HOW THEY PICKED MATES
BY DRAWING SCHEME
Bentdn Harbor, Mich., Nov. 10.
An echo of the revelations made last
spring of the "high jinks" carried on
in the House of David colony here
was heard in the courtroom yester
day when Mrs. Augusta Holliday,
who is suing Frince Coy Parnell, son
of King Benjamin, for alleged crim
inal slander, made sensational seri
ous charges regarding rites of the
king and his followers.
Mrs. Holliday told of her relations
with King Benjamin, which began,
she claimed, only after she became
convinced she had no alternative, in
1910. Shortly after that she de
clared Benjamin became frightened
lest his relations with unmarried
women would be discovered and, ac
cording to her testimony, he advised
the plan of marrying off a number of
the young women to men members
of the "flock."
Mrs. Holliday was married in De
cember, 1910! She said the selection
of husbands and wives was done by
each girl and man writing his or her
name on a slip of paper and then
there was a drawing. Mrs. Holliday
protested against the first drawing
and was given a second chance, when
witness declared she drew Allen Hol
liday. Those who join the colony throw
their property into a common "pool,"
according to Chas. Schulz, former
fruit speculator of Benton Harbor,
who, with his family, joined the col
ony. All property, he said, is placed
in a common fund and used for the
common good.
