OSHKOSH, WIS.-Rev. Merton G.
Andrews, rector OF st. Paurs Episcopal
church Of this city, who is defendant in
an ecclesiastical prosecution brought at
his own request to determine the truth,
or falsity of certain charges made against
his character by gossip mongers, made
Written statement to-day in which he de-
clares that no formal charges have been
filed against him and that If there are
none by July, he will start on two
months visit to the Pacific coast and pay
no more attention to the matter until
his return.
Mr.. Andrews says: Though months
have elapsed since my demand for an In
vestigation and although every oppor-
tunity has been given friend and foe for
the fullest search, and although the
tongues OF foes have been as busy as
ever and although both the bishop and
myself have endeavored by every means
to facilitate action, no charges have as
yet been placed in the bishops hands.
."I opened the avenues to the fullest
light upon every act of my life. Foes
whom I don't know by sight, have cease
lessly endeavored to ruin the work at
St. Paul's church, and no means thus far
tried has forced them to show their
