I am going j to get well and live to kill a few more policemen," was the asser-! tion of Louis Pratt, the self styled "Adam God," a religious fan- j atic, who is lying here in a hospital, having been wounded in a i battle between his followers and the police late yesterday after noon. As a result of the fight Pratt's 13-year-old daughter, Lulu, and a policeman, Albort Dalow, are dead, and two othor, policemen are in a critical condition. ! Pratt is full of resolution that he will live, though his charce I for recovery is considered slight. BAND'S CHIEF AT LARGE James sharp, known as "Elijah II," the real head of Iho ' little band of religious enthusiasts, is still at large. His wife, : who is confined in the city jail, and Mrs, Pratt, with two daugh- j ters, spent the night in the matron's room at police headquar ters. Sharp organized the religious band in North Dakota two years ago, and has been traveling about the country since. MRS. PRATT'S STORY Mrs. Pratt and daughter Mary ,aged 11, tell a story of com plete trust in Sharp and his wife, whom they refer to ai Adam nd Eve. They express full belief in ill their teachings. The death of Lulu Pratt seems to affect them but little. They say "She died for the Lord." Mrs, Sharp states that they had no religion until tlx ynrs ago, when her husband announced that they were not living right and that he had a revelation of the faith of God. They be 'gas reading the Bible and a week later Mrs, Sharp got the revel ation "that the spirit of God came to us the same way it came to Adam, David and to Christ.." They sold their Sana, (rave the money away to people who needed it and Btarted out to preaoh travelling through Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota and Canada, living on the gifts from converts and others. Last summer they started from White Earth, Mont., and went down the Missouri in a house boat, preaching at the cities and towns. They went armed many months owing to "persecu tion." Yesterday's riot was the result of police interference at a street meeting of the fanatics. , i President Strongly Favors a Thorough Revision j Washington, D. C, Doc. 9.
