The Bishop Charges Five Members
With Conspiracy.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-F'ive men, charged
by Bishop Kozlowski, of the Independ-
ent Catholic Church, with conspiracy
to canse his arrest unlawfully in order
to injure his church and philanthropic
work, were yesterday held by Magis-
trate Martin to the grand jury. The
defendants are: DR.. Stanislaus Slo-
minsl1i, A. H. Podgerski, a priest of
the church; Teofil Sajewicz, John
Olszewsld and Bronislaus Wodzinsld.
The hearing was replete with sensa-
tional charges, the complainant and
the defendants alike averring that
their lives we're in momemtary danger
during the proceedings. Four of the
defendants brought counter charges
against Bishop Kozlowski, averring
that he had caused the death of seven
patients by poisoning in his hospital.
Kozlowsh introduced American-born
witnesses to prove that the patients
died natural deaths, and brought to
the stand one Boleslaus Lewandowsli
who swore that the defendants had
offered him money and other induce
ments to murder the bishop. He said
the defendants planned every detail
of the plot for him, but he refused to
be tempted.
Anthony Kozlowsld left the Roman
Catholic Church years ago and started
the independent movement. which now
numbers ten parishes. Kozlowski wa:
elevated to the bishopric by the "Olt
Catholic Church" during a pilgrimage
