The Mystery of Iniauity Manifested.

We publish to-day statement relative to the late
affair at Evansville, in which Rev. Mr.. Weinzephlin
was implicated, and for which, in the minds of near
ly the whole community, he most unjustly suffered.
The Catholic Advocate remarks as follows:
We invite the particular attention of our readers
to communication from Vincennes which we pub
lish this week, from the pen of Mr.. Thomas, of
the counsel for the Rev. Mr.. WenzGphhn, in the
prosecution set foot against this worthy priest by
one Schmoh and his wife, Firm the first, in common
with many liberal persons of all denominations, we
were convinced that Mr. W. was the victim of a foul
and malignant conspiracy we also hoped that Provi
dence would some day show This to the world but we
dId not expect TO see the mystery Of nquity
unveiled. and innocence justified, if not indicated.
Ii Is said that murder will OUT, and that "a guilty
conscience cannot keep its guilt concealed - we find
that the knowledge of his own infamous achievement
was too much for this fitting lord of worthless
Spouse and he has gone abroad to boast of he deep
damnation' of his heariless, malignant conspiracy
against the spotess reputation of pious servant of
God
He told the tale of his successful crime to those,
who happily had the virtue to shudder at the recital,
and the honest courage to expose to the view of de-
ceved public the whole scheme of fraud perjury, and
subornatIon.
The persons to whom Schmoll made his acknow-
Judgments all Protestants. This fact places their
testimony above suspicion, where in favor Of the
Thomas could not, In his communication give more
of the dispositions, but suppose that, from defer
ence to public dellcacy, he forced to refrain from
this. He has given enough however, TO convince the
most prejudiced that Rev. Mr.. Weinzephlin was the
innocent victim of a most diabolica conspiracy And
those, who gave their sympathy and aid to the Rev.
gentleman throughout his difficulties and suferiDgs,
will be reoiced at this complete and most satisfactory
manifestation of his innocence
We know not who are the wretched individuals to
whom reference is made in the deposition as the SUBJ
orned pack of periured witnesses, who deposed in
conformity with Schmolls nefarous scheme, but we
hope that the whole network of villany will be
raveed and that the chief actors as we'll as subordi-
mates this plot will be dealt with outraged JUS
tice requires.
Not less criminal or contemplate than one of ''the
trained band of fllse witnesses, Is the Physician
who furnished the book to Schmoll and his wife, that
they might study the nature Of syncope and the art
of swooning. His name should be known to the
world, that honest honorable person might be in
peril from associations with him.
The wicked can only prosper for time. Sooner
or later, their iniquiy Is visited with meet punish
ment. What has become Of Schmol and his wife
They scandalized the people of Evansville by the
rumored history Of their private lfe by their dlssen
sions, their litigation, and their separation. Neither
of them, understand is there at present. Neither
of them enjoys the respect of the community which
they so greatly agitated by their Vaccinations
and falsehcods. On the other hand, Rev. Mr.. Vein
zephlin is better known and more esteemed than he
was, or than he could have been, previous to the
period of SchmOlPs prosecution. To him, therefore,
the event but temporary trial, and now that it
is past while he looks to God for consolation and re-
ward he must feel much gratied at the very general
sympathy and respect which he has received in var-
Gus ways, and especially from the members of his
own church.
