A Jostling, noisy crowd of negroes milled around the squat little leader as he was taken from the courtroom after providing ball. A dozen burley detectives and po lice battled in vain to forte the man who calls himself "God" through the surging throngs, who screamed "Father! Father!" In a crescendo chorus and threw handkerchiefs and pocket books high Into the air. Divine waa arraigned under the name of George Baker. Four Followers In Pour other negroes, all cultlsts, were arraigned with the "father" on iimilar charges of felonious assault, resulting from the stabbing of Harry Green, a white contractor, of Wee hawken, N. J., in a riotous, flare-up at Divine's so-called "No. 1 Heaven" In Harleni. " Hearing was set for April 30.

Police Captain Thomas Dugan asked. "I did not, your honor." the cult leader replied, as though answering a Judge In court. "Did you direct anyone to do so?" "No, your honor, I did not." "What waa the cause of the trouble?" "I was not tne cause of the trou ble", the prisoner said, wrinkling his high forehead in annoyance. "I was preaching at the table and looking at the organist and preaching on "Hie Great Enthusiasm, aomeone snatched me and some others started to push The crowds pushed and I pushed back. Then someone snatched me." The crowd began to gather long before the self -proclaimed "prophet" was due to appear. Intermittently shouting "They can't Jail Ood," and he's atlll God to us!" UaJl Departure And when the arraignment was over, they hailed his departure with cries of "Victory! Vlctoryl God Is tnck on earth!"

Captain C iarence Douglass, Detective George C'Hara and Patrolman Ernest Kelly discovered him crouching behind the dust-covered furnace. Kelly saw something move, In the basement gioom, and he made a shrewd guess "Come on out, Father Divine," he said sternly. "Peace!" a voice quavered. "Peace! I'U go with you. Peace!" And from the gloom stepped Father Divine. The cellar was dirty, but the little brown man was immaculate.
