them can be, without the slightest difficulty.
Nader am confident, never swore, or to say
the least, intended 10 swear as he is represent
ted TO have done. But, howeverthis may be
| pronounce the whole affair a batch of mis-
re representations and lies from beginning to end.
While in Missouri, | did tell those who were
curious enough to inquire [all of whom were
old acquaintance who had emigrated with
me from Germany the particulars of the
charge against the Priest, and what had at
different times, been my opinions as 10 the
truth thereof. What those opinions have
been, this community well knows, and | have
only to add that neither in Missouri or any
where else have | ever entertained or express
ed a doubt as TO the intercourse voluntarily
or involuntary on her part of the priest and
the prosecutrix. / knew that her person had
been polluted by a dirty catholic priest, and
felt that whether that had been with or with
out her conse ut ! could no longer live with
her. consequently also spoke of my pros
poets Q being divorced from her, and out of
these conversations | presume this ridiculous
story has grown-a story which no one ac-
q%uainted with the circumstances of the trial
can believe, who does not at the same
time believe me, not only TO be the greatest
liar but the greatest fool in existence. 1t
bears upon IFS face the most unmistakeable
marks OF absurdity and falsehood. | am made
10 speak of "being separated from the prose-
culrix, promising TO take her back, &c, at a
time when everyone knows, or could have
known by reading either OF the two reports of
the trial, | had never separated from or had
any difficulty with her. The nonsensical
stuff about the ''medical book the prosecu-
trix being induced to study it"tiIl the setting
of the court" &C., ii will be at once seen,
could never have been invented by me, unless
| had done so for the express purpose Of af-
lording Mr.. Thomas the opportunity of dis
covering q mares nest; it being such stuff as
no one but a very devout catholic, whose re-
aDard is in proportion to his faith, could be
expected to believe.
There is one other feature Of this precious
compilation which those who have an oppor-
tunity, are especially requested 10 observe, as
it at once fixes the char acter of the whole
affair. Throughout the whole Ofhis rigmarole
r Mr.. Thomas attempts to convey the impress
I ion, as indeed it is frequently asserted, that
5 the two persons names in the pretended af-
, fdavits but cunningly suppressed in the pub
T LEGATION were SubOrned and used as WjtaeSseS
By me IN The trial Of Wein9OePRin. Now
am informed by a catholic, that The blanks in
? the affidavit or letter or whatever it is, are
7 flied in The original with the names of Mar
-, lin Neighbor and Christian Remenschnider
. and none knew better than Mr.. Thomas, who
was as he describes himself one Of the priests
; counsel, and who, 10 his credit be it said, was
perhaps more instrumental in sending him !c
+ the penitentiary, than any Of the prosecuting
! counsel, that these two persons were not
nor was either Of them, examined or subpm
+ naed or spoken of as witness in the case. Mr.
q Thomas processes to be constrained to be
sceptical, "as TO the pretended admission, tha
in my ''fabrication" had the benefit oftht
consultation of lawyers, "-he can scarcely
believe in $50 extravagant am en0rniiy in 81
l. elevated a profession" If he judges of Others
Z BY himself, he has no reason tor sceptcisn
upon The subject. A lawyer who-can, know
l. ingly and w%iltuIly, convey the lying impress
a ion he does in his compilation, is little
enough 10 believe in, orenact any dirty tricl
without the redeeming virtue of fleein!
therefore to the %"confies of civiiation,'' as he
ID falsely says Davis did.
h | have not further time at present to reply
,e to this tissue of falsehood and absurdities, bu
b. cost what ilmay, | am delerminedto invesii
t. gate and expose this pretended :disclosure'
e and The means by which il has been got up
The Holy catholic church shall not cleanse
the Stains from ifs confessional al the expens,
Ie of my character. | shall proceed immedi

10 find that though they are in themselves
IL most wrctched batch ofinconsistencies, cor

tx on their face, yet they do not warrant the
ay false and lying impressions attempted 10 b

as from these documents, by dove-tailing tn
