scATHlNG DENUNcIATION
Of the Authorities by Brother of the
Murdered Girl.

Lorain, Ohio, May 33.-Rev. Father
Charles Reichlin, pastor of St. Joseph's
Roman Catholic church in this city, and
brother of Agatha Reichlin, who was
murdered, last Thursday night, today
made a sensational denunciation of the
authorities for the arrest of Rev. Father
Ferdinand Walser on the charge of
numbering his sister. The occasion was
at the services, this morning, in that
church and the place was from the
altar steps. Father Reichlin was great
ly affected over the happenings Of the
week and could hardly speak. Several
times his voice was husky from emo
ton and he paused frequently to over
come his feelings. Father Reichlin's
statement was as follows:
Various events have happened dur
ing the past week. No doubt they are
a lesson to US. The lesson is that we
should always be ready for death, for
we know not when it will please the
Lord to call us to himself. The lesson
is how little we can trust the world.
brutality is not a thing that is or
was confined to the so-called dark ages,
it is not exclusively confined to non
civilized countries; it is right here at
our home, in this goth century. The
world sees it every day.
81 am sorry to see that Father Wal
ser is connected with the murder of my
sister. / am sorry because | know, L
am convinced before God, that he is
absolutely innocent and that no matter
how strong public opinion may be. it
cannot make him out a murderer, the
murderer of my sister. The time VIII
come when I will give my version of
the bloodhound story upon which the
character of public opinion seems to be
based. I believe Father Walser inno-
cent until he is proven guilty. Per-
sonally / must say that l do not know
which assault is most brutal, the as
sault of the murderer upon my sister
or the assault upon the reputation of
Father Walser, the assault made by
public opinion upon that good priest.
In your prayers pray for my poor sis
ter; pray also for Father Walser. Let us
help him carry his cross and, heavy
though it be, lei us act with fortitude ana
as becomes Christians
The scene of the murder was the point
Keichlin home, today. where the i,ooy
was in view. AT O'clock it was taken
into ST. Josephs where vespers for the
dead were sung by Father Reichin and
two assistants. The funeral services will
be held. tomorrow morning.
Father Walser, who is confined III the
county jail at Elyria, has seen no one
other prisoner, except that he has the
freedom of the corridor. His preliminary
hearing will be held probably on Tuesday.
There is no excitement at Elyria and no
sign of any unlawful action.
Support of the belief that a burglar com
mitted the crime was given impetus to-
day by the statements of several neigh
bors who had seen Il stranger hanging
around the Reichlin home for several
hours on the night of the crime.

When Casimer Reichlin reached his sis

COULDN'T TEMPT.
Constitution Not Ready for
Brush With Reliance.
Both Boats Out, but Old Craft Shy Of
the Defender.
Handsome Showing by the Latest
Herreshoff Creation.

New Rochelle, N. Y, May AL
though plainly invited c. oliver Ise-
lin and the Reliance the Constitution
last years unsuccessful candidate for
the choice of defending the Americas
cup-Saturday, refused a brush with
her new and speedy rival. Mr.. Iselin
had taken the Reliance across the
sound to Glen cove, where the Consti-
tuition lay at anchor, to coax the older
boat out for a test speed, and must
have been much disappointed at the
failure.
The Reliance had been lying at an
Choir in Glen cove after a morning spin
down the sound and back. She was got
under way at $50 p. NJ, and started
off along the Long Island shore seven
miles to the eastward. There was Il
12-knot wind from the south and a
smooth sea-ideal conditions.
The Constitution remained at the
cove with her mainsail up and head
sails in stops until the Reliance was
halfway back. Then the Belmont
boat began to jog back and forth off
the cove under mainsails and two
headsails. The Reliance was carrying
three lower sails and working topsail
and was plainly working back like a
thoroughbred willing and anxious for
a race When she met the Constitution
she was promptly put about and beam
and beam they started on a reach and
and what looked to be the first chance
to compare the relative merits of the
two craft.
They ran abeam of each other, half
a mile or more apart, for only half a
minute, when, just as it was beginning
to look as though the extra canvas of
the new boat was drawing her away
from the older one, the Constitution
came about and headed back toward
the cove. The Reliance was kept on
her course for a short distance and
then squared away for home. In half
an hour she had crossed the sound, car
rying her spinnaker most of the way,
and came to her anchorage at 4.30 P. M.
The new boat left her mornings here
at 1890 A. M, in a snappy easterly
breeze that flecked the sound with
whitecaps, and an ebb tide running out
against it kicked up a short, sharp
chop. 1t was a rougher sea than any
in which the Reliance had yet been
tested. and gave an opportunity to
show what might be expected of hel
long bow overhang in a choppy sea. 1t
splashed considerably but did not stop
her in the least.
Once clear of Echo bay the easterly
breeze laid her down to her sailing
lines and she went off to windward
down the sound at fast clip. In three
long legs and As minutes of sailing,
in which she seemed fitting about the
sound like a tall ghost, she covered
nine miles of windward work. Then
she kept off and ran up to Glen cove
to coax the Constitution to give her q

had her daily sail, today. She left her
mornings off here shortly after 3 P. NJ

and working topsail. She carried her
sail well and took the long seas in easy
fashion and without apparent effect
upon her speed. After a short spin
she ran over to Glen Cove, where the
Constitution lay and after jogging
about off the cove a while came to
anchor near the Belmont boat. At dark,
tonight, she lay there with her sails
furled apparently for the night.
