JacobJichweinfurtri. who claims to be the^ret ml Savior, was recently gulijccu-d to a^severe teat, the object being to prove him a^free lover and undeceive the many female^and other believers who persist in accept^^ing his declarations of divinity. The facts^of the case were obtained by the Mtt^correspondent this evening. About a year^ago Dr. J. S. Wilkin*, head of a medical^dispensary on Ii'-arrxirn street, Chicago,^was living in Kansas City when fx-liweiu-^f urth was holding services there. The doc^^tor's wife becamt- in a measure converted^to the b- het that -M.-i:weibfurth was Christ,^and, it is said, mm to ICockford with him.^Her husband took bm abroad and spent a^year to cure her ot her mania. On her re^^turn Schweinturtli again tried to induce the^lady to follow linn, and Wilkins ki^ke^1^him ^ lit ot the house in spite of the preach^^er's warning that he must not touch God's^holy one or he would be palsied. His w if^^has never been in good mental condition^since.
