ROCHESTER,. July 9.-The foremost topic OF
conversation among the Cath olic clergy OF the
diocese of Rochester Is the case OF the Rev. Dr.
+. y. Sinclair. pastor Of St. Peter and Paul's
Catholic Church, who is charged with SANDER
ing fellow priest. the Rev. Fidelio c. Oberhol-
Ter pastor OF the Holy Redeemsr Church. both
churches being in this city The affair had It's
origin in criminal charge made by the Rev.
Mr.. Oberholzer against several men who had
accused him OF immortality In order to get
money. Some Of the mon were convicted. and
the cases against tho others did not come to
trial 1t Is alleged that Father Sinclair openly
declared the accusations against Father ODER
holZer to be true, and he sent to Switzerland
where Father Oberholzer formerly lived. to
get evidence to back up his assertions.
>, A complaint, OF SANDER was lodged with
Bishop McQuaid against Father Sinclair. and
the Bishop convened an ecclee iastical court.
which found Father Sinclair guilty Of SANDER.

Father Sinclair appealed from this decision to
the Vatican authorities at Rome. and the fnd-
set aside. 1t Is understood. although the ut.
most secrecy has been observed In the inves-
tigation. that the findings we're set aside on
two technicalites-flrst that the procurator

a part OF the testimony, and. secondly. that
the prosecution did not elect until the trial
was hal over whether to proceed civily or
