THE AMERICAN.
ASSASSINATION
OF PRES. LINCOLN
Every Person Implicated In
the Diabolical Plot a Ro
man Catholic.
Standpoint Occupied by Ex Priest
Chlniquy, Who was the Pres
ident's Close f ricnJ.
Father Chin'.quy, the apostate Cath
olic priest, who has been lecturing in
Baltimore, In conversation with
Morning Herald reporter, made
number of statements regarding the
assassination of President Lincoln
which are not to be found In the his
tories of the period, and accounts for
that lamentable tragedy: '
"I am a French Canadian by birth,
aid he to the reporter, "and was born
In Kamovaska, Canada, in 1809. Both
of my parents were Catholics, and I
was, of course, brought up in that
faith. From a very early age I was
destined for the priesthood, and my
education was conducted with that end
always In view. Having been ordain
ed, I arose very rapidly in the estl
matlon of my religious superiors as
well as in popular favor, and was soon
looked upon as one of the most prom
ising members of the Canadian priest
hood. My work In the cause of tem
perance brought me into special prom
inence, and I became widely known
all over Canada, and, indeed, in the
Catholic church everywhere.
' "In 1851 Catholic bishops and clergy
from all over North America met in
secret conclave at Buffalo, N. V., and
there the question was discussed, and
It was decided to seize the cities of
North America for the Catholic
church. The plan adopted was to
bring Cathplic emigrants from Europe
In sufficient numbers to gain control
of the city governments by popular
Tote. The attempt was carried out to
some extent, and was successful at
least in New York. It was partlcu
larly the desire of the church to get
possession of the school fund in the
various cities in order to use it for
the benefit of Catholicism. The well
remembered struggle for the expulsion
of the Bible from the public schools
in Cincinnati in 1S70 was the out
growth of the action of the conclave
In 1S51.
"At this same conclave I was assign
ed to go to Illinois with a band of
French Canadian Catholics and to
found a colony or coionies. Colonists
also came from Fiance, and early in
1852 I founded my colony at St. Anne
Kankakee county, 111. A chapel or
church was built, and we had a con
gregation of about 500 souls.
"In 1858. after several years of
tudy and many trials, I determined
to leave the Church of Rome, whose
doctrines I no longer believed. It was
on Saturday evening that I reached
my final determination, and the next
morning I went into the pulpit and
told my congregation of the step I
was about to take, and my reasons
After talking to them for two hours
I put the matter to a vote, and all but
fifteen of my 300 parishioners ex
pressed their Intention of following
me. This action, when it became
known, created no little excitement all
over the country. About a year later
we joined the Chicago Presbytery, and
afterward the Canadian , Presbytery
to which we still belong.
"Previous to this Abraham Lincoln
bad defended me when I was prose
cuted by the church, and when, some
time after our withdrawal from the
. church our colony was theatened with
destruction from famine, he came for
ward and for our benefit delivered a
lecture, In which he denounced the or
der of the Jesuits with the greatest
boldness. This made our former
friendship all the stronger.
"In 1862 a Canadian Jesuit priest
was converted through my teaching,
and from him I first learned of a plot
of that order to assasinate Mr. Lin
coin. He told me that the plot was
first laid in 1S6H- I went at once to
Washington, and in a conference with
Mr. Lincoln warned him of what I had
learned. He told me that he was al
ready informed of the matter by Mr.
Samuel F. B. Morse, the telegraph in
ventor, who had heard it by chance
while In Rome. Mr. Morse was not a
Catholic.
"About a year afterward I convert
ed another Jesuit priest, who had ab
solutely no knowledge of any other
convert, and by him I was told the
same story. 1 again went to Wash
ington and warned - the president.
After the assassination, while I was in
San Francisco, another Jesuit priest
gave me, for a third time, identically
the same account of the plot In the
order against the president. While 1
was seeking information in regard to
the crime I met the Rev. F. A. Con
well, of Chicago, who related the fol
lowing: "Ninety miles northwest of St Pajil,
Minn., is the little village of St.
Joseph, settled by Roman Catholics,
and with a college for the education
of priests. On the 14th of April, 18G5,
at 6 o'clock In the afternoon, two men
drove up to the village hotel; one was
the Rev. F. A. Conwell, chaplain of
the first Minnesota regiment and the
other was Horace P. Bennett, of St.
Cloud about ten miles eastward.
While Mr. Bennett was attending to
the horse in the barn the landlord, J.
H. LInneman .who has charge of the
friary, and wae purveyor for the
priests, told Chaplain Conwell that
President Lincoln and Secretary Sew
ard were assassinated. And when
Mr. Bennett returned from the barn to
the tavern the landlord reiterated the
statement to both his guests.
"This was not later than 6:30 p. m.,
and the assassination of Lincoln did
sot occur till about 10 p. m. Allow
ing for the difference In time between
St Joseph and Washington the news
reached St. Joseph ai least two hours
before It occurred.
The two men make affidavit of the
stoat, sworn to September 6, and Octo
ber 18, 1883. Landlord LInneman,

swear, but make a wr)'"n tleclara

ation of Lincoln and Seward wore
planned and executed by Jtsuit p ics-s.
The murderers were Instructed to coii'
ceal their religion. Such Is ths doc
trine , of the Catholic church. SL
LIguorl says:
" "It Is often more to the glory of
God and the good of our neighbor to
conceal our religious faith, a when
we live among heretics we can more
easily do them good In that way; or
if by declaring our religion, we cause
some disturbance or deaths, or even
wratn of the tyrant.' LIguorl
Theologia, II. 3.)
"Dr. Mudd, at whose place Booth
stopped in his fl'ght, wa3 a Catholic
and so was Garrett, in whose barn
Booth was killed.
"After the murder Father Cliinlquy
went to Washington In disguise. He
found that the influence of Rome at
the capital was almost supreme. The
only statesman who dared to face the
nefarious influence of Rome was Gen.
Baker. But several other statesmen
confessed that without doubt the Jes
uits were at the bottom of the plot;
and sometime this would appear so
clearly In evidence before She mill
tary tribunal that It was feared it
could not be kept from the public. Mrs
Surratt was a Catholic, and her house
was the common rendezvous of the
priests.
"Booth, the assassin himself, was
confirmed in this very city of Balti
more. He was but the tool of the
Jesuits. He was taught by thein that
the pope had called Jeff Davis his
dear son, and had taken the southern
confederacy under his protection. He
was taught that Lincoln was an apos
tate, that he had been baptized In the
Catholic religion, had rebelled against
It and broken his oath of allegiance to
the pope. He was taught that It was
his religious duty to slay this infa
mous enemy of his church.
"Compare other murders known to
have been plotted and executed by
Jesuits with this one and you will
find that they resemble each other as
one drop of water resembles another.
Compare the last hours of the Jesuit,
Ravalllac, the assassin of Henry IV.,
who absolutely refused to repent,
though suffering the most horriffle
tortures on the rack, with Booth, who,
with an unset broken leg. the bone al
most puncturing the flesh, writes In
his dally memorandum: "I can never
repent, though we hated to kill. Our
country owed all its troubles to him
(Lincoln), and God simply made me
the Instrument of his punishment.'
"I found that the influence of Rome
was almost supreme in Washington.
Several of the government men with
whom I conversed told me that they
had not the least doubt that the Jesu
its were at the bottom of the crime
They were afraid to let the crime
come out lest the priests should be
implicated, and in the event of their
execution they knew that riots, blood,
fire and devastations must follow, and
these the country, In its then divided
state could not sustain."
Evading Real Issues.
The weakness of the case of those
who are vigorously opposing the lm-
mijtration restriction bill is shown
by their persistent refusal to meet
fairly and squarely the real and es
sential issue involved In the proposal
of an educational test for new arrivals
The protest of the German societies
of Chicago and of the league recently
organized In New lork, as well as
the arguments advanced in congress
by such men as Senator Caffrey, deal
with but one aspect of the problem.
They harp upon the obvious and ad
mitted fact that illiteracy is not al
ways and necessarily a sign of vi-
ciousncss and incapacity, and Indulge
in irrelevant, emotioral appeals to
principles which no friend of the edu
cational test dreams of surrendering.
That immigration has done much
for the development of the country is
not questioned by any sane man.
That It tan and will do still more is
equally beyond dispute. That an edu
cational test If applied a hundred or
even fifty years aeo, would have
barred out thousands of worthy, use
ful and desirable citizens, to the great
detriment of the country, is also
readily and cheerfully conceded. Why,
then, urge considerations that have
absolutely no bearing upon the ques
tion we are called upon to settle here
and now?
What Is this essential question?
Simply this, whether or not the coun
try needs a rest from the work of ab
sorption and assimilation Imposed by
a practically unrestricted immigra
tion. Today we only exclude paupers,
criminals, diseased persons and con
tract laborers. If we need no further
restriction in the interest of the
American standard of wages and liv
ing, the educational test is indeed un
necessary and improper; but those
who admit that present restrictive
measures are inadequate are bound to
supply a better and fairer test than
that of ability to read and write, a
test so psrfect as to exclude all un
worthy applicants and admit all
worthy ones. The champions of the
immigration bill recognize that here
and there injustice would result, but
they most emphatically deny that any
great number of desirable immigrants
would be shut out or that the law
would stop immigration. Are not the
labor organizations better authorities
on the need of further restriction than
the societies now fighting the Lodge
bill? Chicago Evening Post
