THE MGLYNY CASE AGAIN.
Urged That the Doctor should Apologize to
the Pope in Person.


NORFOLK. VA, jan. THE Norfolk
Virginian will publish in its issue of Sun
day the following letter from Washing
ton containing important information re-
lating 10 the restoration of Rev. Dr. Nc
Glynn to his faculties. and the prime and
indispensable condition upon which his
restoration was made, viz: That Dr. Nc
Glynn should within three months pro-
ceed 10 Rome and make his submission
and apologies TO the Holy Father In per-
son:
Washington, D. c., Jan. 6, l69S.-The
Rev Richard Burtseil. ecclesiasu-
cal counsel for Rev. Edward McGlynn,
lately in open rebellion against and eX-
communicated by the Holy Father, but
now. happily, having made his submission
TO all the requirements imposed by the
Papal representative Mgr. Satolh re-
ioices in the restoration Of certain facul-
ties. is out in a letter purporting TO ex-
plain "how Mgr. SatoHi came 10 settle
the case of DR.. McGlynn." and very much
like a lawyer in lay affairs, while pre-
tending to make a statement due TO the
court or jury, which is really special
pleading to effect his clients position, so
the good Church lawyer begins his brief
to the public by saying:
1T seems 10 me to be due on my part
20 Mgr. Satoli 10 say few words in
reference to the way in which he became
connected with the case of Rev. Or. Nc
Glynn."
Now no one questions the right or Mgr.
SatoW to dispose Of the case, and His EX-
cellency was in no need OF an eXpiaha-
ton of or apology for his connection with
the case. or the manner Of disposing OF It,
The only object of Or. Burtseii seems 10
have been TO withdraw attention from
the pains and penalties or conditions I'M
uosed upon his client by the Judlclous
delegate. by his ruse in explaining now,
why and wherefore the SAID delegate
came into the case.
rho Dublic are more interested in know
ing what the conditions were that the dls-
tinguished delegate, having the h"ilor Oi
the Holv See to protect, imposed, for no
ono viii for a moment assume that the
nuhlic and rOst scandalous manner IN
which Or. McGlynn held the Holy falheI
ND 10 contempt and ridicule these seVefai
wears past could be condoned or forgiven
,yitbout some suitable reparation by any
80 e~alted person than the Holy Father
himself. and while that most benign ana

readily receive and graciously forgive the

refusal TO require any extraordinary ACT
of humiliation on the part of the offender

directly from one who has the confidence
