The Horrible Tale of Irish Supersti-

The Horrible Tale OF Irish Sup ersti-
ton and Eurder Rehearsed.
DUBLIN, July 5.-Michael Cleary,
OF Ballyradlew, near Clonmel, was
convicted Of manslaughter today
in causing the death of his wife
Bridget Cleary, at Ballyradlew, in
March, by burning and otherwise
i'll treating her on the ground that
she was bewitched.
The so.called Clonmel witch
tragedy was one Of the most re-
markable in the annals OF crime in
Ireland.
Michael Cleary, husband OF the
deceased, Patrick BoIand, her
father, William, Patrick, Michael
and James Kennedy, cousins, Mary
Kennedy, her aunt, and Patrick
dunno, VIM. Ahern and Denys
Ganey, the latter known as the
family doctor, were jointly arrest
ed ana charged with burning and
i'll treating Mrs. Cleary until death
relieved her from further suffering.
The evidence showed that she
was suffering from nervousness
and bronchitis and that her hus.
band, believing her bewitched,
forced nauseous decoction down
her throat for the purpose Of exor.
cising the evil spirit. After this
the unfortunate woman was held
over q fire and dreadfully burned
until she declared in the name OF
God, that she was not Cieary's
wife.
This torture was repeated and
in the end her husband knocked
her down, stripped of her clothing,
poured paraffine over her body,
lighted it, and the woman burned
to death in the presence OF her re-
latives.
Cleary claimed he was not burn
ing his wife, but a witch. The
prisoners narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands of the crowd in
and about the court room when
they were examined and they had
to be taken to jail under strong
guard.
The LIGHT published the only
account in this city, Of this terrible
tragedy, at the time, when its hor-
rible details first came to light.

Our New Bishop.

Wednesdays dispatches to the
LIGHT contained the announce
ment OF the appointment by the
congregation of the Propaganda
at Rome of Rev. j. A. Forrest, as
bishop of the Catholic diocese of
San Antonio. Today's telegram
from Rome in these columns con-
tains the news of his confirmation
as bishop by the pope.
Our newly elected bishop,
the Right Reverend j. A. Forrest,
is the resident secular priest at
Halletsville where he has labored
for many years past, in this town
and the surrounding country. He
Is missionary and has been in
charge Of the mission work in that
Quarter from the time he was first
appointed to this almost virgin
field of duty. He is called the
schurch builder" because he has
labored 80 indefatigably in
building new churches, and has
even labored with his own hands,
in the burning of the lime, laying
of the brick, etc.. planning and ex-
ecuting at the same time. He was
born in Lyons, France, the same
city which was the birthplace OF
our late bishop Neraz, of whom he
was close friend. He is about %
years of age, vigorous worker, a
social, plain man Of the people, but
not gifted orator.
