sents an Aspsrsion on the
Catholic Church.

San Juan, Porto Rico, June 2s.-At a
teachers conference here last evening
DIR. Saldana, a member OF the Insular

instruction in Brazil, turning to the
bishop of Porto Rico said that with
all due respect to Catholicism ne would
ask permission to take exception to DIR.
Saldana's statement. He declared that
the Catholic church had been negative
in results i'm all the South American
countries and asserted that the illitera-
cy prevailing in those countries was
due entirely TO that church's influence.
Instantly there was great excitement
and Bishop Blenk jumped to his feet
and striking the table with his closed
fist, shouted:
'ft II a lie!'
simultaneously the priests accom-
panying him also arose with anger de-
picted on eevry face.
II will not sit quietly and hear the
church OF which | am the representa-
tive i'm Porto Rico traduced in such
language" declared the bishop In ear
nest tones.
Again there was painful silence.

ternoon. q
All OF the morning was taken up in
hearing witness on one side contradict
ing the testimony given by those on
the other.
III became evident yesterday that the
state had very weak case.
The most interesting thing about the
hearing today was the explanation
made for pushing the case against
Williams. Constable Cook OF Woon-
socket said he was not working up the
case simply TO get the reward of $500
offered by the governor. The reward
Mr.. Cook said simply encouraged him
as he had started on the case before
II was offered
Some testimony was introduced by
the state to show that train left Bos-
ton at 7:f0 Sunday evening. April 22d,
last but IL was shown II would require
lively hustling 10 get II when one left
work as late as Williams did at Cam
bridgeport. Freight trains were shown
TO have run from Blackstone. Mass, to
Boston early Monday morning. but the
first passenger train, il was stated, did
not leave Woonsocket until 6:15 o'clock
in the morning. and Williams was
shown TO have been at work at Cam
bridgeport before that time.
There was an attempt made by the
state 10 show that Cambridgeport par
ties had changed their minds about
certain. facts In the case.
Shortly after ii o'clock stephen A.
Cooke. who was associated with John
j. Heffernan, as counsel for defendant.
began hfs closing argument and was
followed by Assistant Attorney General
