Windsor, Ont., Nov. 3.—Word has been received here to the effect that Michael Mills, who was known here as “Prince Michael” by his religious followers, has at last come to grief in

It was la Windsor in 1963 that Milis established himself and tried to find 144,000 persons who wanted to reach heaven, that being' the limit on the number of the elect. With him was associated I.i’eta Jackson, who sought refuge here after serving a term in an English jail for various serious crimes. The Jackson woman stopped at Windsor and assumed command with the Israelite colony here, under the title of ‘ Mother Eleanor,” otherwise known to the world as Mrs. Mason. After a few months she was exposed as none other than the notorious Ann Odelia Diss de Bar.
