THE PRIEST CONFIDENT
Father Hcinen corroboraled this recital, SO tar as
related 10 the events winch no was concerned Ilo
expressed the utmost aith IN the womnn and suro
that lac has not been deceived. When reminded that
there cases of religious enthusiasin or MANIA

Greths case the priest SAID he OF IT, but was
satisfied tnat this woman was neither insane nor
practising deception "fhero Is room for
illusion IN this case" SAID he -. should be gully OF

how was that those who witnessed Miss Greth while
she was unconscious distinctly saw her wnking her
eyes This no explained by saying that there was
a.. constan! con .remor OF the ,eyelids during tho
one could do voluntarily and WAS rather proof that
sho was IN an exalted state. Father Honen gave his
rcasons ut length Tor believing her their substance
being the woman's reputation for extreme piety ali
her life, ihc doctrine that all persons are attended
by guardian angel, and tnat tho teaching
that u miracle Is something beyond reason, but
not contrary 10 IT, There Is doubt that Father
Heinen Is entirely sincere and honest IN his belief
Catholics ana Protestants alike, OF being an
unusually hard working selt-dcnying priest,
living in poverty and without the comforts oi life
aud devoted enthusiastically to his Church.
MISS GRETH's SANITY AND HONESTY
In settling the question as to the woman's charac-
ter 10 ascertain whether or not she has guilty Of
maiingering or playing sick successfully, or whelher
sho Is perfectly sane, ] 1nd that the inquiries

FATHER BUNCE INTERRoGATED
Among those who were present during the ssec-
stacy" aud the 'rcsurrecton" proceedings was Row.
Father Bunce, from Mauch Chunk. found him ra.
ther reticcnt He believed miracle mad been worked
but WAS only Witness ho said, and could not givc
any information as to Miss Greth's antccedents Ho
corroboracd the HEALDs account OF what took place
on Saturday.
DECEPTION MANIA?
Mr. o. Neil Boylo, editor of tho Coal Gazette, was
also present at the bedside Of the woman sn
He says he could SEQ that tho woman was not dead
and he believes that the patient was not '.in
ecstacy." Hc speaks very highly OF Father
Heinen and thinks tho deception was on
tho part OF tho woman II it was not
mania or religious enthusiasm. Severni others with
whom conversod were OF substantially tho same
OPINION. The two towns OF Mauch Chunk aud East
Mauch Chunk talk OF nothing else but tho miracle
and there arc two parties. the believers ana the un.
believers, the latter by large majority out number.
Ing tho former who arc mostly ol the poorer people
oil the two Catholic congregations.
PERxASENrLY CURED
Miss Greth will stay ut Father Hcinen's for n wcck
or SO and viii then 30 back 10 Reading permanently
cured, as she says. Fatuer heinen has yet mado no
report to the Archbishop, but Is thought that His
Grace will asK a report aud an investigation.
