The Priest is interviewed

Elyria, Ohio, May 2.-Rev. Ferdinand
Walser has been locked up in the county
Jail here. He offered bail N any sum
that might be desired but this the Off
GERS refused to consider.
He declared that he was very tired
and was calmly sleeping within half an
hour after being placed in a cell Before
being locked up the accused priest re-
peatedly declared his innocence.
ooh, My God" he cried, What a po-
sition to be in. / came to Lorraine to
have a quiet visit and this had to hap
pen. l am as innocent as baby
have nothing to offer in defense. They
will have to prove me guilty"
AS yet the priest has not secured legal
advice.
Father Walser, when seen by a re-
porter in his cell tonight and asked for
a statement said;
"All l have to say is that l am not
guilty of any crime. 1 am innocent and
say that with clear conscience.
Il am entirely blameless of any crime
This is an outrageous proceeding and a
disgrace. 1t is a disgrace to the city
and to the county. l am as innocent of
this crime as babe in it's cradle First
they hear me tell my story and l told
it over and over again to them. Why
did they not arrest Casimir Reichlin,
who was also in the house. If 1 had been
guilty of such a crime 1 would have
flown from this place and gone to some
place of hiding. If man is guilty Of
such crime it can be seen in the eye
and on the face. A conscience tells it's
story on the face. My conscience is per-
fectly clear and the end of this will show
that I am entirely innocent. All will
come out right in the end. There is
a feeling against me, I believe, because
am a priest. There always is such
feeling. This is awful to be placed
in place of this kind and he looked
about his little cell with an eye glis-
tened with moisture.
THE c. p. p. S. with headquarters at

continued the priest, will go my bond
for $4,000 if necessary. Yes. 1 have
been arrested before-it was at Clinton,
Mo-, during the A. p. A. war. Another
priest and I had adopted a boy and the
A. P. AS. had us arrested on the charge
Of cruelty and kidnapping the boy. We
were discharged and the plaintiffs were
costs. This case will turn out the same
way"
ut is stated that on the night OF
the murder Casi1nir Reichlin went out
and got a jug of liquor at one o'clock
in the morning is that true?"

 Mothers Find Comfort in Cuticura SOan

When All Other Remedies and
 Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep for skin-tortured babies and rest for tired, worried mothers in warm baths with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anoint- ings with Cuticura Ointment, purest of emollient skin cures, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, permanent and economical treatment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding. scaly, crusted and pimply skin and scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in- fants and children, as well as adults, and is sure to succeed when all ether remedies and the best physicians fail.
 The agoniZing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful sealing, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in sealed head; the facial disfigurement. as in pimples and ringworm the awful suf- fering of infants, and anxiety of worn out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum, all demand remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evi- dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety aud great economy have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
