Associated Press · [ca. February 1946]
Maine State Police Sgt. John Crosby (left) talks on phone from room in "Shiloh‚" hilltop temple at Durham, Me., of a religious sect, "The Kingdom, Inc.‚" where a double slaying occurred late yesterday (Feb. 19). Philip Holland, Shiloh caretaker (center) escaped injury in the pistol duel between Irenee Laprise, about 30, of Brunswick, and Dr. Charles Reeder, 39-year-old Durham osteopath, which ended with both men dead and two sect members injured. At right is Ernest Tupper, pastor of Shiloh. Holland is a son-in-law of Frank W. Sandford who built Shiloh on orders of a "Divine Voice" nearly 50 years ago as a communal dwelling for his "Holy Ghost and Us Society" which later became "The Kingdom, Inc."
