Tho trial of Bishop J. V. MeNamara
before Justice Nichols, of Indepenilenee,
Mo., where a change of venuo had been
taken from Justice Latshaw's court, In
Kansas City, wan nothing more than a
tribunal of inquisition with tho entiro
court of tho prosecution an inquisitors.
The case wan called about 10 o'clock
on tho morning of February 1, 18M, In
tho lower court room of the county
court house, with an over-flowing aud
ience. Tho charges accusing the
bishop with slandering Priests Dalton
and LIHIh were revised by tin) prose
cuting attorney, Marcy K, Jlrown, bo
fore tho trial, so that they could bo
niado to "stick." Before thm time, at
leant one day, a Jury had been sum-
morion by tho jiroHeeutlori, Tho attor
neyit for tho defense argued that tho
jury previously called should bo nut
aMide, an those who were Instrumental
In procuring it were prejudiced. Justice
Nichols overruled tho motion to set
aside tho jury, saying that he know
nothing of such a jury being (turn
moned, but admitted that it had been
tho custom to prepare a 1 1st of jurors, to
nave thno in tho procedure of tho court.
Marcy K. Brown, prosecuting attorney,
became very wrathy at tho statement
that a Jury had been summoned, and
said that "it was an infamous false
hood." Attorney Burnharn, for tho de
fense, asked for proof to bo brought
into court to prove his assertion that a
jury had not been thus summoned, and
ntated that ho believed that Marcy K.
Brown had been furnished with a list.
This cooled Mr. Brown, but Justice
Nichols refused to order tho constable
of Bluo township to summons a new
jury,
Tho pooplo bavo become very Indig
nant that tho officer who would have
presided In tho Latshaw court had fol
lowed the case into another township
and another court, and took tho place
of the officers who should have pre
sided. Tho case mlht as well have
been tried in Latshaw's court, as the
only (IIITcrerico was tho Justice who
presided. The first ease was the alleged
slander ol I'rlest Mills. A bard fight
was madn to secure an unprejudiced
jury, but it was not accomplished. The
witnesses for tho state were: Kdward
A. Brlttan, of tho 7'ms; John W,
Booth, a policeman; Andy O'Hare, a
policeman; Jas. I). Mackey, ICI Oak
street, a paper-hanger; Jules C, Boson
berger, of tho Mr; Arthur Morrison,
cx-deputy from Latshaw' court; Officer
Cloppor, a policeman; Frank Dally, a
policeman, and Frank Oilbins. Tho
evidence obtained from these wltncnsen
was virtually word for word on tho
points probed by tho prosecution, and
answered with nrnllen and ready ro
spouse, but when questioned by tho de
fense tho witnesses became evasive and
orno Impertinent.
When Mr, Brlttan was asked by tho
defense why tho word "bishop" was
placed in quotations in his article In
tho Tivu, ho replied: "To indicate
that he wan not." When asked If ho
knew that J. V, MeNamara was riot
a bishop, ho answered: "I know noth
ing about It," When asked what tho
bishop did when stones were thrown
through tho window of Turner hall, on
tho night of January 10, at tho lecture,
ho answered: "Appealed to tho crowd
to keep cool," Ho also ntated that tho
bishop read from manuscript or book
part of tho time, Tho book referred to
wan Kenrkk'n "Moral Theology,"
Mr. Booth testified that ho wan on
duty at Turner hall during tho lecture.
He ntated that he wan a member of tho
Catholic church, and that ho had lived
in Independence at a previous tlmo. Ho
claimed first that there wan "only one
disturbance that wan when they were
leaving tho tall." lie stated later that

Kenrlek's Theology, mild "lie h:ul a
Ismk In his linml," that when rocks
were thrown through the hall windows
from the Hillside, that the lilnliop mi hi:

staled further that "no one in the hall
created a disturbance," although it man
had been ejected from the hall for call-
tii V ni-.l I -vi i ! Ii
ing tho bishop "a liar," and which faotiJM77. The further tijstlmony was cut
had been given In evidence, oil by an objection by I'roHccui.Ing At-
Officer Cleppor nald ho had been a
member of tho Metropolitan police
force for nearly nix years, and that he
wan on duty at Turner hall on tho night
of the lecture In question; that Ms par
ents were Methodists, but lie was not a
member of any church. His version of
tho points In question were similar In
wording to tho others,
Mr, Daily, a "supposed Catholic," or
an stated by hlrn afterward, "I am sup
posed to ho a Catholic," testified that
ho had been a member of tho Kansas
City pollco force for flvo yearn, and wan
present at tho lecture on tho night of
January 10, last, and verified tho sim
ilarly worded statement, "parrot-IIko,"
as given by other witnesses for tho
Mate, Bo nald that ho lived near
Tenth and Michigan avenue. In an
nwor to a question of tho defense: "Aro
you the officer who Informed tho mob
of tho bishop' whereabouts?" reluct
antly replied, "No, sir," that ho wan In
cltl.en'n clothes, and remained In tho
hall during tho entire lecture; that
after tho lecture ho wan at tho rear of
tho hall, on the street, and run around
to tho front of tho building when ho
heard nhotn fired, but did not neo them.
Bo wan asked: "Are you a Catholic?"
and replied: "Yes, nlr; nupsised to he."
Mr, Crlbblnn wan next summoned, an
tho last witness for tho ntaln, hut failed
to assert bin mime on tho stand, Bin
evidence was of little corisrquenee.
For tho defenne, L, A, May wan
plaited on tho stand, as a selection from
tho thirty-nix witnesses who wero
called from a list of two hundred or
moro in all. Tho court "ruled" that
tho defonno must limit it to tho name
iiumiier an wan lined by tho state, Mr,
May based his testimony on shorHiand
notes which ho says wero taken at tho
locturoon tho night of January II, JH01.

ho wan not a professional, but thought
that ho wan accurate. Ilo camo In to

DRILLING THE ENEMY!
The following item ought to be of startling interest to Amer
icans, as indicating the progress of the conspiracy to unite church
and state, with the state inside the wolfish church:
"Captain John Dunn, of the Tenth Infantry, has been ordered
by the Secretary of War, Lamont, to report at the Jesuit College
of St. Francis Xavicr to take the Professorship of Military Science
at that institution."
Very recently a military instructor has been placed in Seton
Hall College, New Jersey, another popish institution. It is
surely bad enough to permit the forming of Romish military
companies, without furnishing them with arms and discipline at
the expense of the government they are sworn to destroy. Will
Americans even now fail to see the urgency of the necessity of
enrolling themselves in the A. P. A? If they do not, they shall
be taken unawares as surely as past history can certify to the
treacherous character of popery. The man who hesitates any
longer is unworthy of respect. Primitive Catholic.
torney Marcy K, Brown and the decis
ion of Justice N'lehols, Tho bishop
stated that the lecture at Turner hall,
delivered tho night of January IHOI,
was on the subject of "J Ionian Theol
ogy," At this point tho defense made
a strong argument against Marcy K,
Brown to allow tho defense to Intro
duce Kenrlek's Mural Theology, as
evidence, and quote from It such parts
an were used at tho bl.hop'n lecture, to
provo that tho words wero not those of
Bishop J, V, MeNamara, but tho teach
ings found In Keurlek'n Moral Theol
ogy, Neither was bin manuscript of
tho lecture allowed an testimony, Mr,
Marcy K, Brown's conduct was unpar
donable In upbraiding tho witness. It
was unfair, unjust and undeserving In
all, It was tyranleal, All written and
printed testimony wan shut nut,
J. A. Westenorland wan tho next
witness, Bo Is a contractor living In
Argentine, Kas. Bo was present at
tho lecture, but testified that the
charges wero not given at tho lecturo
as ntated In tho writ, Bo wan asked:
"Had such a statement been made, were
you In such a position to hear It?" Bo
replied: "Yen, sir."
J, D, Fulton wan placed on tho stand
and tentlfled that ho would not have
been present If ho could have hol-sid It.

tho bishop to repeat tho language as

the dlshop's case on this point. If the
hook contained tho assertions he would
be acquitted, and If not he would lie
found guilty, Thin request was over
ruled 6y Justice Nichols,
In the Ballon case tho defense made
a strong argument for tho countable of
Bluo township, of Nichols' ton rt, to he
allowed to summons the Jury, stating
that Marshal Htewart was prejudiced;
also claiming that no 1 toman Catholic
should be allowed to sit on such a Jury.
During tho argument Marcy K, Brown
made tho following assertion: "Be
llglon does riot cut any figure In thin
case, This clap-trap stuff," etc.
In reply tho defense said the state
did riot conduct the case with fairness,
Mr, Brown said, "You aro stating an
obtuse falsehood,"
In regard to tho Catholic question,
Mr, Brown said it wan i !ap-trap and

Andy O'lhire, Jules BosenlMirger,
Arthur Morrison, .las. II. Mackey,
"(imcer" Dalley, "Ollleer" flepper and
Frank (!rlbblrm.
Mr. Brlltnn was the first witness
placed on the si and In the Diiltou ease.
Ills testimony regarding Ihe presumed
slander of Fries!, Iiitlton was somewhat
like that given in the Tlllls case, Tint
charges by the state being identical in
both eases charged against Bishop Me
Namara. Mr, Brlttan was very evasive,
when questioned by the defense; only
short replies would bo given,
WhenOnicer Booth was asked If the
bishop read from manuscript, ho re
plied: "I did not pay any attention
whether ho delivered It orally or from
tho manuscript," that he had boon a
Catholic, but was not now a Catholic,
hut was riot now a member. Be was
Inside the hall, by order of tho lieuten
ant, to see that there was no mob
violence. When nuked If such was ex
pected, he said t hat there wan "some
anticipation on the part of some Hiople."
When O'Hare, the next witness for
Hie state, wan asked by Attorney Burn
ham testate what church he tsdongod
to, he said, "I'm a Catholic," Attorney
Dumhaui, for tint defense, then asked
him: "Do you rememtsr saying to
mo that if you had your way of It you
would take him (tho bishop) down and
throw hlrn In the river?" Mr, O'lbtro
replied: "Yes, nlr, I did nir."
Bin evidence regarding tho jtolnt
pushed by the state wits similar to tins
others on bin side of tho fence, They
all neerned to have their part pretty
well inomorlcd. It was queer that so
many men could give a word for word
quotation without man Ing notes and
testify to it without a moment's hesita
tion nomo two weekn afterward.
When Mr. Bosenls rger, of tho War,
wan asked to testify he Isicamo as clear
as crystal mentally, and rememlHired
everything distinctly, no ho stated, and
claimed that it as all duo to tho read
ing of Mr. May's "short-hand" notes In
tho Llllln case on the tlay isjfore, Kven
with this assumption bin evidence did
not vary from tho state's other wit
nesses, although Mr, May'n "short
