Fead yesterday de- nied a motion by Attorney William J. Barnard, chief defense counsel; to dismiss the state’s suit to dis- solve the House of David as a pub- lic nuisance. In a brief opening statement fol- lowing Judge Fead's denial of the motion, Attorney H. T. Dewhirst for the colony announced the defense would stand on the answer to the state’'s charges as filed. This in- cludes a complete denial of all charges of immorality on the part of Benamin Purnell, head of the colony, ,and a denial of the use of religion to screen crime or to de- fraud those who joined the colony. The defense based its motion to dismiss on the promise that the 13 women who took the stand for the state accused Benjamin Purnell alone. Attorneys contended as a matter of law that a public nuisance must be general, notorious and continu- ing before a court could dissolve an organization on that ground. It was further insisted that Benjamin had the right to have his guilt or inno- cence defended by a jury In a criminal proceeding and not in a citil case before a judge alone. Hoover Would Clear N. Y.
