Father Maurice j. DOrney, Of Piggott
Letter Fame Appofnfed


CHICAGO, April 23.--Father Maurice j.
Dorney, pastor OF st. Gabriels Roman Cath
Ole Church, Chicago, to-day secured a COM
mission from the United States government
as chaplain and will leave Monday to join
the fighting men. with Capt. Robley D.
Evans, on the battle ship Iowa in front of
Havana. Father Dorney is widely known
throughout this country and Ireland He is
a particular friend Of Michael Davitt. the
well-known Irish member of Parliament.
Father Dorney was the temporary chair
man of the Philadelphia convention at
which the Irish National League of Amer
lea was organized, and it was he who car
ried over to London and delivered to Mr..
Labouchere and Sir Charles Russell, now
lord chief justice Of England, the original
the latter to. have forged the letters which
he introduced in testimony at the Parnell
trial The letters carried by father Dorney
completely overthrow the London Times's
case against Parnell and the day after their
introduction Piggott ran away to Spain,
where day or two. later he committed sui
eide. The letters thus delivered so timely
had been for years in the possession OF
Hon. Patrick Egan, who was the treasurer
of the Land League in Ireland, and who
subsequently became citizen Of the United
States and served as our minister to Chile
under the administration of President Har-
rison. When Mr.. Egan discovered that the
letters which he had would completely over
throw the London Times'S case and vindi-
cate Parnell he hurried to Chicago and re-
quested Alexander Sullivan, formerly pres
ident of the Irish National League, to select
some one to bear the precious document in
safety to London. Mr.. Sulivan'S selection
was Father Dorney. The result showed how
well he estimated the fidelity of the loyal
priest, who is now about to enter his coun-
try's service. Captain Evans was in COM
mand at Valparaiso during the exciting
times when Minister Egan showed his met
tie, and it is thought that one Of the results
of the friendship then formed is Father
Dorneys assignment this time to Captain
Evens's battle ship, the Iowa.
