He Is Shooting 1t Off at Lively
Kate gain


NEWARK, n. D., Dec. 1S.-The ma
jorty of the Catholic clergy here are
glad to see the COrrgan matter at an
end. Some Of the German priests, how
ever, are indignant. They feel bitter
over Father Corrigan's attack on
the German Catholic congress and his
allegations that the German Catholics
are clannish. Father Krammer and
Father Stecher are said to be not &C all
pleased. The former is credited with
having expressed his opinion in forcibIe
terms. Father Corrigan is in happy
frame of mind over what he regards as
his great victory for the priests of the
country.
sit will no longer be possible for a
bishop to suspend priest and then re-
fer the matter to the vicar general for
trial." he said TO reporter. "Freedom
of speech is one of the great principles
of our government, and in compelling
the bishop to back down in his charges
upon me | consider that L have served
both the country and the church at the
same time"
'Do you think that outside influence
was brought to bear on the bishop"
asked the reporter.
"Yes, am satisfied that there was"
answered Father Corrigan, "and | know
that DR.. Smith, the bishops legal adj
wiser, went to Baltimore last week to
see Archbishop Satolli, and | am
positive that Bishop Wgger was told
through DIR. Smith to let the matter
drop, but, on the other hand, l am salts
fled that Bishop Wigger would not have
dropped the matter had he thought he
had any case against me. While / am
willing to let the matter drop, L was not
willing to make the OvertureS because
| was confident | had a good case,
and the very fact that Bishop
Wigger dropped the matter after pre-
ferring the twelve terrible charges
against me is sufficient evidence to my
mind that he had no case against me.
1t is great triumph for me and the
priests of the country. This is the first
clerical case in this country which has
been decided by board of arbitration,
and marks new era in the history OF
the church.
"Some of the newspapers referred to
my letter to the bishop as an apology,
but anybody can see that 1 did not
apologize for anything. When the
peacemakerS came to me from Bishop
Wigger with the offer TO let the matter
drop on certain conditions, one of which
was LldL SNOulu 20 lnLO retreat
for two weeks after the holidays.
| replied that [ was willing to go into
retreat if Bishop Wigger would 90 with
me, as considered that he had better
need Of it than myself. AS to the prop
osition that should apologize to the
Germans for what | had said, l told
the peacemakers that | would cut
Off my right hand first. AS to
the matter Of malice, l do not
think that any such motive actuated
Bishop Wigger to bring the charges
against me. 1t was only a matter of
ignorance ON his part. l was Following
out the wishes of the pope when took
the stand did,. The pope is a pretty
good Catholic, and anybody who fol-
lows his wishes will not be far out of
the way. / am glad that the matter is
amicably settled, but | have not made
any promises that shall not have any
thing more to say In the future"
