Second. 1 wa ctigagiMl on the night,
of the riot In delivering the hint of a
aerie of three lecture. The 11 rut
dealt with the (luotolon, ''Who are true
Amci'lcaiiH," the hccoiiiI, "Tim Ameri
can Count i tut Ion vm. Human Catholic
Teaching," anil tho lat with, "The
l'llhllit v. Tho Parochial School. " Two
of thi'Ho lecture were delivered In the
lliiptint church on tlie wiuth Hide and
the other In tint A. P. A. hall on thu
north aide. They were all delivered
under the aiiMpIco of the American
Protective AhhocIuUou, and did not
touch upon tho religion faith of the
Uomun Catholic church only ho far iim
It teacblngH bail to do with KillticH
and civil government.. Fortunately the
UHHoclatlon had an export atitnographor
who ha a complete report of tho three
lecture, I ahull I hi plenacd to lay them
before you In proof that I did not at
tack any man' religion, but treated
wholly with the practice and dogma of
tint Roman Catholic church In Ameri
can politic.
Third, The town of Kawkatiriii I en
tirely under Koman Catholic- ruin.
Iloneo thero I uo guaranteeof pornonal
liberty and no protection to llfo and
property for American citizen wboaro
known to be opjMiced to tho control of
our government and tho dcatructlon of
our public achool yittem by tho foreign
and un-American hierarchy of that
church,
Fourth. Ah an American citizen
whoo right have been InmiltoKl, and
whoe llbortlo havo been trodden ujion,
I charge tho Itouuw Catholic mayor,
aldermen, pollen ofllcora, ruemlmra of
tho choo board and tho newly ap
pointed poHtmaatcr together with their
friend and co-rellglonlHta with help
ing to Incite-tho riot, I further charge
thcao ofllclal with neglect of duty In
making little or no effort to aupprc
it, but who rather exerted theniNolve
In it behalf to aupprc freo apoech.
In tho mldt of all tho ofIlclalonly one,
tho Protectant chief of jiollco, wiuld bo
relied upon and he wh handicapped by
hi Nuperlor. Haloon wero Open In
violation of all law and decency. An
alderman naloonkeeper dealt out the
fiery fluid which Inlamed tho mob to
greater deed of violence, Tho rioter
wero of tho ltViman Catholic faith and
had boon encouraged to deed of law
leneH by tbo threat and aetj of their
leader and tho town official.
Fifth. My friend of tho American
Protective Anociatlon together with
rnyelf aro ready to appear lieforo any
Impartial commlnHlon which you may
appoint and utain tbo afore-mentioned
charge, It would be lmpolhle to ob
tain by proce of law in Kaukaunit any
red re a Home rule In that town would
adjudge every J toman Catholic olllclul
a being justified in ualng every mean
to dentroy and aupprc the enemle of
ccclelaticttl tyranny and tho friend
of American liberty. Theao ofllclal
are under church obligation to bo firt
In their allegiance good Iloman Catho
lic and aocond only, American office
holder. They havo been elected to
advance tho cauo of that church In
American politic and on Wcdneaday
night were doing their duty aa good
J Ionian Catholic.
Sixth. In bringing thl matter be
fore you for conaideratlon and redre,
uch aa any American citizen ha a
right to claim from tho chief executive
officer of tho atate of Wlacormln, grant
me the further privilege of itatingthat
a regard your own part In tbl affair
you have areponHlbillty which for tho
honor of the good name of tho sta to It
1 to bo hoped you will deem It wine to
acknowledge. You have, let u hope,
unwittingly fallen into a Iloman Catho
lic trap. Ily replying to the queatlon
propounded to you by the Milwaukee
Catholic Citizen, "What doyoti think of
the American Protective AocIatlon'("
In tho manner you did you have en
couraged uch riot a that at Kau
kauna and Wanhburn, and murderou
threat uch a were made to deter mo
from lecturing In Aahland. I can anHure
you that they did not drive trie from tbo
field. The American Protective A
aoclatlon gained a great victory In all
theae place on account of American
liberty, and what U more I am ready to
help them pain more. Life la not worth
livlng;wlthout liberty.

Your excellency cannot fall to per

Now I repudiate all theao charge, arm

under the Inlluelice of liouor, aid told
hi in to li careful. The priest resented
Mr. 1'isik' word, and hoIiiu hard Inn
giuiie followed. McManu drove itT In
a rage, and finally found his way to the
Ilyan homestead. Here ho immediately
tiegan to order everyone around, and
made the family leave the sick room
while he heard Mr, 11 tin' confession
and iiilministcrcil the sacraments of thu
church. He swore ho must kill Jim
Cook before llyan could die. Mr. Ilyan,
although expected to die any moment,
declared that ho would have nothing
more to do with the priest. On Sunday
night, January 21, at 8:15, Mr. llyan
piissed n way. His family made arrange
ment for a Protestant minister to
preach tho funeral acrvico, which was
to boon Tuesday, January 2.1 McManua
heard of this, and got "Dick" Payne to
drive him out to the house, arriving
thero while tint funeral aervico wero
being performed.
The relatives of Mr, llyan did not
wish to havo McManua interfere; yet,
In the face of this opposition, he forced
bin way into tho house, interrupted tho
services, and performed thu Iloman
Catholic funeral servleeti. Ho then
started to leave tin; house, and on going
out met Mr, Cook, the gentleman with
whom ho hud tho provloiiH "misunder
standing," Tho priest, in a jovial, good
natured wuy, shook hand with Mr.
Cook and remarked "that ho would
like to meet hlrn up town and put
'glove on."' Cook answered "that ho
gueised ho could take care of himself,"
McManiiH did not like this remark, and
flew into a rage, and cursed Cook until
tbo air wa blue, Among other thing
ho aid; "You are a rich man today,
but I will send my curse on you and
your people, and two year from now
you will not be worth a penny." Ho
started for hi carriage, cursing all tho
way, and when a far aa the gate, drew
a revolver and dared Cook to eotno out
there, telling him ho "would blow hia
d n head off," all the tlmo handling
hi revolver In a most threatening
and reckless manner,
There wero many ladle present in
tho yard at tho time, and there wa a
general cram bio to hide behind aomo
one else, for fear tho drunken priet
would boot, "Dick" Payne finally got
McManua into the carriage, and taking
tho revolver away from him, threw it
under the carriage eat and atarted for
Virginia, An Indignation meeting wa
held right then and there by the peoplo
assembled, and they decided that aomo
thing ahould be done, Accordingly,
four men drove to town, and aworo out
state warrant for tho priest' arrest,
charging hlrn with carrying concealed
weapon and disturbing tho peace,
McManu, evidently fearing trouble,
Immediately left town on hi arrlyal
there, but wa stopped at Jocksonvillo
and taken hack.
The trial caused a great deal of ex
citement, the court room being crowded.
There were sixteen witnesse for tho
prosecution and hut one or two for tho
defense. The fact above wero cor
roborated even by tho witnesse for tho
defense. After tbo testimony of tho
witnesses had been taken, McManu
made a very pathetic appeal to the
Judge, rtfjuosting them to Ignor tho
witnesse' testimony and believe hl
statement. He denied every thing, and
had tho audacity to tand up In open
court and ask twelve American citizen
to tako hi word In preference to that
of every wltnes that had testified. It
took tho Jury but twenty minute to
reach a verdict and fix tho fine. There
wa not the slightest doubt a regarded
tho guilt of McManua, but tho amount
of tho fine wa what took tho Jury m
long a It did. Tho smallest fine wa
brought In tho verdict. It is hofiod
that tho penalty of tho court will prove
beneficial In tho future.
An appeal was taken to tho circuit
court, and the case at present stand
over until tho next term. McManu
ha retained counsel to fight tho case
to tho end,
Tho bishop ha suspended tho priest
until the case I settled. Father Crowe,
of Jacksonville, officiated on last Hun
day, and 1 to havecharircof tho parish
for tho present. C, A. Allen, In Jack
