ABOUT THE "REv." BERGER
Regulated by Catholic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Scheme Worked


Scheme Worked
Further particulars as to the esca-
pades Of the Rev" C. A. Berger, the al
legged Catholic priest who skipped the
town after bilking everyone he could
out of money and valuables, have been
obtained. Inquiry at the headquarters
of the Catholic church in this city yes
terday developed the fact that Berger's
pretentions to the priesthood were re-
pudiated by the authorities and they
knew Of no ordained minister or that
name. The Catholic register OF 1896,
which embraces the names and stations
Of all regular priests. contains only the
name of one Berger, who bears the IT,
tie of Antony and who is stationed at
Leopold. Ind. There seems no doubt
that Berger merely used the priestly
dress to further his own schemes
While not a priest, there Is reason to
believe that Berger did really belong to
a German order of monks of the Catho-
lie faith and has Travelled on his knowl-
edge Of all the forms and ritual Of the
church to pass as priest. He was In
the city two years or more ago, put left
to take a pasturate Of a German colony
in San Diego county, under the super
vision of Rev. Father Ubach. so he
claimed. He came back to Los Angeles
pretending to have just arrived from
San Francisco. While here he roomed
at the Park mansion on New High
street, his bills being rooted by one OF
his German dupes.
One of his methods Of procuring arti-
cles Of value was to have them turned
over to him on a pretense to decorate
the statue of some patron saint in his
church at the City of Mexico. BY this
means he secured number Of articles
from Mrs. Cordier of Seventh and Main
streets, and also from Mrs. Chalmers.
From one party on the East Side he took
her wedding ring which was to be used
in the manner above indicated.
Photographer Blanchard Of the Plaza
gallery is short some $40. about $50 of
which is coin loaned to him at different
times The balance was for photos of
saints and famous paintings which the
father" said he could sell for double
or triple the money he agreed to pay for
them. This was undoubtedly true but
Blanchard has never seen the color of
his coin.
When he left the city on Good Friday
the father" said he was going to Cuca-
monga to celebrate mass on Easter Sun
day for a priest at that place. The next
heard from him was at Ell Paso whence
he wrote back about the wonderful sill
yer mine which cost Christian Jensen so
much. All his dupes are now compelled
to see him in his true light, and there is
weeping and gnashing of teeth in conse-
quence.
