lon who has for thirty ears been con-
nected with the church in this city,
volunteered an explanation in defense
n the bishops position. He stated
that all the property in question had
7assed from the hands of the church,
sntedating the accession of Bishop
Natz. to the bishopric, and that at no
time since his conservation had be
handled the NuulCu 1lldllOSos Lively

This reason that the implied calumnies
against the bishop brought forth a |
storm of protest.
In his statement Mr. Mullen fol- |
lowed the transfer of the property
mentioned and gave clear proof that
every cent realized had been account /
ed for to the people. Bishop Matz is
still in Kansas City, and it is not yet
known whether he will make any re-
ply.
