Rev. P. Corrigan, of Hoboken, re-
terates his statements relative to Arch
bishop Corrigan and Bishop Wigger
Icing at enmity for some years, and
which the former denied Saturday.
Bishop Wigger, in a letter to the press
this morning, says:-
Last night I read an article of the Rev.

Journal of November 80. Among
the false statements contained

' Wigger were not on speaking terms for

II pronounce the statement an unmiti-

when they were not on speaking terms.
AS to Cahenslyism, since that seems
to be the Rev. P. Corrigan's night
mare, allowing him no rest by day
or by night, may say for his comfort
and for that of others similarly afflicted,
that shortly after Mr.. CahenslY's petition
TO the Holy Father became known, the
Eco Home Board of New York, of which
have the honor to be President, issued a
remonstrance, signed by ali the
members of the Board. stating that the

The Leo Home referred to is an 1nstitu-
tion for the German immigrants, con-
trolled by the Priester Verein.
Father Corrigan replies to Bishop Wig
gers letter as tollows:-
II did not mean to say that Bishop
Wigger presided at the German Catholic
Congresses or that he acted as
Moderator. What I mean is that
he has been present at all the Con
crosses and was the leading spirit of the
organization.
What I stated in my letter about
Bishop Wigger's treatment of
Mgr. Doahe is absolutely true,
and the Bishop cannot truthtully deny it.
Archbishop Corrigan is aware of IL and
knows all the facts. The members OF
Bishop Wigger's council also know it"
Father Corrigan said this morning that
he would probably be defended by
Rev. r. L. Burtsell of Pondout, N. Y.
Father Burtsell defended Father
McGlynn in his controversy with Arch

KINNEY HAYNER'S FATE.
Prosecutor Winfield on the Shame
Of Hudson's Many Homicides.

The trial of Kinney Hayner for the
murder of his wife, Charlotte Hayner, on
Pier No. 9S, of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad Company, on
September z, was begun TODAY in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. TIE State
claimed that Kinney Havner shot his
wife and Michael Adams in a fit OF jeaI-
GUS rage. The defense will be hat the
shooting was done while Rayner was
insane, made SO by witnessing the fla
grant misconduct of his victims.
Before the jury was chosen, Counsellors
Furey and Simpson made an application
to Judge Werts for postponement OF
OF their case for week or ten days to en-
able them to procure certain witnesses
out of the state. They asserted that the
defence would be insanity and that they
could not safely go to trial on that ground
as to the mental condition of Hayner.
The court denied the request for delay,
and the jury was called.
Hayner watched this proceeding with
undisgnised interes. He Is slightly
built. light ccmplexioned man of about
thirty His face Is thin and faint mus
tache decorates his lip. Hayner was
neatly dressed in black and looked very
much like member of Young Msn's
Christian Association. He had the ap-
psarance of being anything but 8 muir
derer. He sat between his counsel and
occasionally made suggestions to them.
When Prosecutor Winfield opened his
case for the State Hayner looked very
solemn and he did not recover from its
effect all day.
The jury who also heard this speech
with close attention were: William H.
Furmon. foreman Frederick w. Knob
loch. James W. I. McCrea, Lomis j.
Smith, John H. McGrath. Abram Post,
Jeremiah Sullivan, Frank McDermott,
Henry Engelbrecht and William Gem-
NELL.
MR.. wINFIELD'S OPENING.
Mr.. Winfield said:-"Whatsver you, as
jurors. may think Of the propristy OF the
extreme punish ent of the land
for murder, one thing is manifest
that nothing but stern impartial
his crime. which is today the burning
shame Of Hudson county. There are now
seven indictments for murder awaiting
trial at the hands Of this Court, some-
thing. dare say, which Is unheard of In
the history of criminal law in this State.
Whyf have no doubt when, a few
months ago, a man was convicted Of a less
an example for others. Here
we have in the person of the
defendant one who copied closely after
the wife murderer Stocker. But he went
further and murdered two persons. This
detenaant claims that he caught his wife
in very compromising condition. That
Is his excuse.
sLet US understand at the commence
ment of this case, that any man on this
jury who has any scruples against ver-
dict which would result in the extreme
penalty OF the law has no right to sit on
this jury. He ought to be man enough to
say I don't belong here In this county
1t is almost impossible to convict man OF
murder IN the first degree.
