I WILl4 ShOOT TO KILL NEXT TI1
"I do not regret It a particle that I shot
Dargaezewsld , " said Priest Karmlnsld yester-
day afternoon when In Jai , .I I were
Placed In the same positIon again I would
, act In the same way , only I thInk that I
would be cooler and shoot with better effect.
' In the church I ' not
When I saw the men was
! frlphtenet1 , but I atmlt I was considerably
excited . and that made me shoot a little
.wldl ) I 5hot at the men's legs every time
, because I did [ not Intend to 111 them , but I
, would do differently the next tme , They deserved -
served to be killed , for they enterei on my
Premises like robbers , with the intention of
. - killing me , and I surely have the right to
protect m'self They Intended to kill mo ,
, for I have received several letters threatenIng .
Ing my lfe , Heretnrore they did not Intend
to murder me In the church for rear or
, desecrating It , or so I have ht.ard that Bishop
Scannel has advised them The lawyers , I
, understand , have also been urging them to .
get posECson of the church by any means. I
"These thing have kept the people , who I
. are poor and ignorant In a continual state of
frenzy , and when their anger cooled oft a lit-
T tIe the man Nowlsld would set It ablaze
again He I the one whom I blame for the
; trouble that occurred ' , today He has been
contnlal ) urging on thepeople to get pos-
. Gesslon of the church and to murder me.
"As to tile property , we have a right to
. bo In possession of I under the Injuncton
, granted by Judge Scott. I will admit that
m I ; II the property of the Roman Catholic
: clureh , but I bas never been deeded to
Bishop Scannell . and therefore he cannot ap-
, point a priest for the congregaton , Conse-
quenty I was elected the priest by the con-
gegaton , I the property Is ever deeded
' tQ the bishop I will be perfectly willing to
, step' down from time psiton , I am , how-
, ever , aB much of a Roman Catholic priest as
, ' the bishop hmhnself. I was ordained by Arch-
bishop Vlale of Wisconsin last August , and
I have papers to show the fact But Bishop
Scannel wants to get possessIon of the
property himself and docs not want the con-
gregaton to have It , 'Vhen the church was
- under the care of priests appointed by him
the congregation was being continually
rbbed , These acts make me almost ashamed
of the fact that I am a Roman Catholic
priest. .
WHAT BISHOP SCANNELL SAYS
In speaking about the mater Bishop Scan-
nell said : "Al that I know abont the trouble
that occurred today I have learned from the
newspapers I have had no communication
with the pcoplo who made the attack on the
church for a long time and have not advised
them In anything , I do not Intend to take
any acton In the matter. hut as the case
bas been taken Into the curts I will let the
law'erl fight It out without Interference.
! " /ttthiougim , of course the people ought lo
have tried to take possession of the church
by legal means , I am of the opinion that they
bad the right on theIr sIde. The decree de-
Il'crell by Jntg 4mnbrose placed them In
possession of the rOllrty and vacted the
. writ or Inluncto Issued by Judge Scotl. I
. um of the opinion that IhOe who opposed
their entrance to the property are In comiC -
C tempt of curt , I heard that they Intended
I to take an allpol to the sureme ! , court , but
I I : do not know whether they have oven filed
thclr anperaedeas bond I do not believe they
. ] mave. because they are poor ant they will
10t bo able to get anyone to go on the bond
us there Is nothing II their case. As they
would Icllher obI ) the decree or the court
, nor apllrwty tale an appeal , the other rac-
r , ton probably decIded to take the law Into
, their own hands They are a poor anti
" Ignorant Ilcopio and very exclahle ,
"I do not recognize this man Iramlnalt as
a Roman Catholc prJest lie claims to have
been orlalnCI by Archbishop Vilatte. There
I 10 such archbishop In time church There
, i a man In " 'Isconsll by that name who
4 cals himsel . a bishop but wih 10 rIght
. , "No , I 110 not Intend to meddle In time
, . matter. The congregation may fsht , but as .
' the case IR In the courts I Intend to walt
' until I Is settled there. "
m Early last nllht a report was clrculatel1
that time Ioles of South Omaha were going
, . to Sheeley staten to capture the church ,
' and that they would be assisted by some
t , 10113 from Council Bluffs mind the attnclthlR
party ( f 'csterday. I xclemcnt ran hhh and
the followers of Irlest Jarmilski flocked to
' the church he3vly armcd with revolver amid

rear of time church on time Inside anll swore
to hold possession of the church as long as

Adam Przanowslc. who acted as one of time

The act In question Is also slbJcc to 1

I with section 11 , article I , entitled "Bill of I
ltlgiits. " ot the constitution , which pro- i
vldes that "In all crlmlnll prosfcutonR the .
