Intro
On March 5, 1935, the Chicago Tribune reported on page-1 how in Chicago, 43 members of the “Allah Temple of Islam” on 3743 South State St. were arrested for inciting a riot and possible murder (See “Finding Fard” by Dr. John Morrow, page 188 and Hatim, page 17). Among the 43 prisoners was a man named King Shah, 38 years old and living at 3242 South State St. and Allah Shah, 18 years old and living at 2556 Warren boulevard, both were shot in the riot. Their Moorish names puzzled the police until King Shah disclosed that the prophet of their order, W.D. Farad, or Fard Mohammad, or Elijah Mohammed, had christened them thus last spring. A police search for Prophet Fard was started but he could not be found last night. Fard was described as one “born in the holy city of Mecca in 1877”, who came to America on July 4, 1930. King Shah also seems to be claiming to be a minor-prophet. It seems that Elijah Mohammed is missing. It is also mentioned that this cult is an off-shoot of Noble Drew Ali‘s Moorish Science Temple (MST). Read about the different sects of Moorish Science Temple (MST) from 1929-1935 herein.
A quarrel between 2 women on a street car 10 days ago developed yesterday into a man sized riot in a court room, on the 9th floor of the police headquarter building at 1121 South State St. After questioning many witnesses, the newspaper concluded that Mrs. Rosetta Hassan, who lives at 3342 South State street. On Friday, while riding a street car with her husband, Zach Hassan and their 9-year old son, Zack Jr., Mrs. Hassan became embroiled in a quarrel with Mrs. Athenasia Christopolous, who lives at 1448 Monroe Street, whose young son also accompanied her. Mrs. Christopolous alleges that that her glasses were broken in the quarrel and sought a warrant vs. Mrs. Hassan.
In the courtroom, all the negro cultist jumped into action at precisely when the order was given. A riot seems to have ensued. Chairs went flying! Captain Joseph Palcynski (73 years old, a veteran of nearly 50 years on the police force) ran towards all the trouble. King Shah pushed Palcynski to the floor, some reports alleged that many Negro’s jumped on him. He was dead a few seconds later. The bailiff, Philip Brankin dashed into the fight and seems to have shot Allah Shah (left foot) and King Shah (right shoulder). However, it was unclear as to who fired the weapons. No weapons were found! Several witnesses reported seeing bailiffs and police men with drawn revolvers. 30 of the 40 prisoners are also facing contempt of court accusations.
Left to right: Lennie Ali, Lennel Cushman, Georgia Jordan, Anna Hella Pasha, Hattie Majie, Mary Gold and Mary Ali, who are among the 43 women and men arrested and facing possible murder charges (See the Chicago Tribune, Wed, Mar 06, 1935 ·Back-Page).

43 members of the “Allah Temple of Islam” on 3743 South State St. were arrested for inciting a riot and possible murder. Among the 43 prisoners was also a man named King Shah, 38 years old and living at 3242 South State St. and Allah Shah, 18 years old and living at 2556 Warren boulevard, both were wounded in the riot. Their Moorish names puzzled the police until King Shah disclosed that the prophet of their order, W.D. Farad, or Fard Mohammad, or Elijah Mohammed, had christened them thus last spring. A police search for Prophet Fard was started but he could not be found last night. Fard was described as one “born in the holt city of Mecca in 1877″, who came to America on July 4, 1930. King Shah also seems to be claiming to be a minor-prophet. It seems that Elijah Mohammed is missing.
Captain Joseph Palcynski (73 years old, a veteran of nearly 50 years on the police force) via heart attack was the possible murder charge. The baillif named Philip Brankin was shot in the chest was awaiting a life-saving blood transfusion. a negro was shot, 38 people, 12 policemen, 6 bailiffs and 20 negros were cut or bruised. This happened in the Woman’s court, presided over by Municipal Judge Edward S. Scheffler. It was like a fanatical frenzy. The cultists were wearing their red, crescent marked fezzes askew, stormed through the court room with wild shouts.
After questioning many witnesses, the newspaper concluded that Mrs. Rosetta Hassan, who lives at 3342 South State street.

They all allege to be from the ‘Allah Temple of Islam”, which propounds the theory that all blacks are Moors and not Negroes. The original prophet was Noble Drew Ali. The Chicago Temple, seems to be an offshoot of Drew’s original group.
