"When Dake came to trial in
Feburuary 1937, he placed himself on the mercy of the
court by entering a plea of guilty to the
charge of violating the Mann Act. He was
sentenced to a six-month stay in the House of
Corrections in Milwaukee. Dake
admitted to having 'petting parties' with the girl,
but again denied any improper relations
had occurred between him and the girl. The Waukegan
ews-Sun reporte 'Had he been
>found guilty by a trial jury, Rev. Dake would have
been subject to a maximum sentence of 10 years in a
federal prison and a fine of $10,000.'
(Feb. 10, 1937). Dake called the jail sentence a
'vacation' and said he would use his incarceration as
an opportunity to preach to the prisoners and devote
time to writing a commentary on the Bible.

"The Assemblies of God severed its relationship with
Dake, and he later joined the Church of God,
Cleveland, Tennessee. It is not clear how his union
with the Church of God ended, but Dake eventually
became independent of any church."
