Ii is only Tor the purpose oi snow ogtns
his claims upon the brothers of White street Tor
moneys are void OF justice or ngnt whs'e'er
upon them. He also charges that lie hvei on
lenten diet, poorly and miseraby cad, Nc
W.a ths, also, We have nothing to 10, as We think
those who administered to the t2s.e OF MS pals'e ena
the wants Of lis stomach can better snswer his
complaint than ourselves. However, he shoss
benefcept superiors and Administrations. We leave
them to deal with hnn ss they see NJ 70 do. In
another complaint re charges the csshier repes'edy
with refusing him assistance OF moneys IN the hands Oh
thst Cfiicer for his own use. lie Cannot deny MS
knowledge OF tho rules o. the Committee, 70 whom
the sppcston was made by him-ths alsppheshons
TOR moneys must be presented in Sriting for exsmn'
tion ano that, therefore, tue two brothers sctsd 10
corOrmty 10 the rules when they refused the Request

knowledge thai he WA violating the rules. A.
When he ther asked q !osn Of 80 tom tue eathier,
which he promptly loaned him ont oi bis oFn pocke,s,
when he kept Tor upward OF year-ron about the
MIDDLE Of July, 1857, until the I'D OF July 1898. IL
is then, naked ialsehood. when he asserts tnst ne
was sued tive weeks sitter. The money was loaned for
he payment OF the same. 1 can prove that he would
not have been sued for the payment II he mad not
provoked demand, snd that sss made after muco
iorbesrance, and ne was informed beside by letter
from ht creditor before was sued. ln tsct, ne was
called on TO pay because ne had not given sny an
swer 10 the letter of the Cashier IN tnat regard
Another charge OF hs JIG that "they carried away Sith
them, tied upir ckst handkerchief, Tue moneys
belonging to the CLurc3, and tnst he Nsnted tnem
" TO give Snd pSy the sOoye moneys TO nln. Waat
triyia charges 8re thus made capital by hun, when
inresd Of an acknowledgment to the advantages that
be derived through their carrying sway tnose moneys,
with his iull knowledge and consent and enangog tue
same into gold or bensste notes, and pacog II WITH
the fGLds OF the Church.
Again he cha. ses that on account OF the increase OF
he congregation the basement of the church IN Canal
street. Lad been found too small; snd thai ne vas
urge TO rent tie church stsirs snd hss, shortly
aiter he refused tie money TO pay the quarterly
Iept IN advance for the chuicn. All this Is Ike all the
rs Of his foolish mschir saons that ne endeavosto "
set up as 10 in possession Of gooi common sense
would at:enp. to blow forth suCn untounded stsse-
Den,s ne does without having substantial proof
fer what he states to oe time. VII oo~ mere con.
trsdict 6H this. by showing That the basement
below given freely by Father LAfont TOR the
use CT the Italian congregation, and therefore nothing
Que fer that. As for the refusal for the quarterly
kkax Iaut1 IN az RI n1oh-
ier, Oh this OCCASION went with the Rev. DR.. Saugui
neui 20 Messs. ID. Devlin Co., owners OF the
church, with q check for 30 TO pay the quarterly
rert; when DevnD Il 20. made recs pt OF the money
for that IN of the Rey. SsGgainetti,
simply because Devlu and the Cashier had to much
confidence n him 10 suspect that he would turn out
what he ought 70 be ashamed TO nave done in all
these trsneaciions ever sInce that time.
lie also goes meantime owiBg that he LIS gone
TO the Archbishop st various times tOr the purpose OF
nakrg charges against the two brothers Of White ST.
whereby be succeeded, no seys, in getting the Arch
bishops advice TO dismiss them for not obeyng the
orders to psy the carpenters for work done on the
church. Now then, / will lift up the veil and snow
the shsneessness of this b. The receipt Mr.. Fran
cis Rochat, csrpenterj, bearing date July u tuit),
elbows the book Of the CASHIER that after many 30
lictatione from bIm 10 the Rev. Ssnguneti, his un-
willingness to give him sn order or the cashier Tor the
work aone on the church. he had stunned the face
OF the carpenter many times, and on that account ne
had recourse 70 the very Archbishop before be sue
cseded ID getting toe order from the noted Reverend
Wien IL was presented 10 the cashier was paid IN
fall the amount Of So.
Again, On the l6sh July last, he charges that he
wanted the books and the funds from the two
brothers; that he wsned 10 take them 10 the Arch
hstop, who wanted them and that the sum ot money
10 tner hands, the brothers, belonging TO tae Church,
amounted to between 500 and $500. viii sho~ tnat
