Bishop Hamid Weds Legally After All the Shooting Dies

Mme. Fu Futtam, Numbers Expert, His BrideHer Predecessor in Jail
WASHINGTON. April 21 (UP).Bishop Sufi Abdul Hamid, Harlem's latest rival to Father Divine, and Madame Fu
Futtam, spiritualist and author of popular treatises on methods of winning at the
numbers game, were married on April 15, it was learned today.
The bishop, whose real name is Eugene Brown, was legally married this time, at
the County Clerk's office.
In August, 19S6, he "married" Madame Stephanie St Clair, the policy queen, by
contract, but as New York State does not recognize such agreements, he had no
"difficulty taking Madame Fu Futtam (nee Dorothy Matthews) as wife No. 2.
The true love of Bishop Hamid and Madame Fu Futtam did not run at all smooth,
for last January 18 Madame St Clair, a formidable woman who openly defied Dutch
Schultz when he tried to take over the policy racket, learned about it and reacted by
shooting Bishop Hamid.
That incident painful as it was to Bishop Hamid, removed the only obstacle to his
marriage to Madame Fu Futtam, for on March 14 Madame St. Clair was sent away for
two to ten years for assault.
Madame Fu Futtam in the marriage license gave her age as thirty-two and her
address as 20 West 129th Street. She said she was a publisher, which indeed she is, for
her little green books on the more esoteric aspects of the policy game are widely
circulated and esteemed in Harlem.
Her latest work bears the title Daily Names: Vibrating Hunch Number
Calculations, Compiled by Madama Fu Futtam.
Bishop Hamid recently opened the Universal Holy Temple, of Tranquility at 103
Morningside Avenue.
