pleadings Of my family and my friends
are untrue. No one asked me to sur
render. The state had no idea where

years. In fact, understand they had
practically given up the search, but 1
knew that my absence was causing my
family and friends very great sorrow,
and did not want to give up my name
and my home for all time. I therefore
decided upon the steps have taken. l
know 1 have committed a crime in the
eyes Of the law and am ready to take
the penalty. My conscience is clear Of
any intent to 90 wrong, but could not
beat bondsmen who are my friends. l

He spoke of the early difficulties ex-

Catholics owing to lack Of funds in
making their schools emclent. He de-

that it was possible for them to get for
their schools a cent more than they
were entitled to. He complained also
that the Catholics had never been told
that their schools were inefficient and
had never been asked to make them
more efficient.
