Council Bluffs, July 25.-William G.
Rodgers, who is serving a term in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison for the
murder of Bert Forney in Council
Bluffs saloon, is anxious to have his
case presented to the board of pardons
created by the prison law Of the last
general assembly.
Captain Cousins was sheriff at the
time the crime was committed and
has expressed the opinion that ne was
never fully convinced that Rodgers
was guilty of the murder. His assist
ance is sought by the prisoner in Sc
curing pardon or parole.
Rodgers is persistent in his efforts
to have some action taken in his case
and it has been brought to the atten-
ton Of the authorities frequently with
out the result he desired. A few
months ago protests We're sent to the
governor from the officers in several
opinion as to his guilt or innocence
of the crime for which he has been
committed, assumed that he was guilty
and intimated their belief that ne was
bad man to be at large. While Cap
tain Cousins has had his doubts as to
the case here, he has taken no Issue
with the other officers on the other
question.
1t was only few months ago that
Pat Grove was reported to have
called upon Governor Cumnlins in the
interest of Rodgers, claiming to have
positive information that Rodgers was
not the man who murdered tForney.
Notwithstanding all of these appeals,
the prisoner remains in the peniten-
tiary, and hereafter the board Of par
dons will have his case to deal with.

Dubuque, July 25.-Rev. Father
Frances Wrenn will leave Dubuque
shortly for the east and will sail in
the early part of August for the old
world. 1t was reported Wednesday
that the priest will visit the Eternal
City in an effort to lay his side OF
the controversy with Bishop Garrigan
of the Sioux City diocese before the
Papal See. -.
Deposed by Garrisan.
Nearly year and half ago Father
Wrenn was pastor of the Roman Cath
Ole church at Fonda, in the Sioux
City diocese. About that time re-
treat of priests was held at Sioux City
and it was afterwards charged that
Father Wrenn broke the stringent
rules of the church. The matter was
called to the attention of Bishop Gar
rigan. who, after making an investiga-
ton of the charges, deposed Father
Wrenn as pastor of the Fonda church.
The priest refused to abide by the
bishops order and continued to remain
in charge of the parish. Finally. the
bishop sued for writ of ejectment and
the sheriff put Father Wrenn out of
the parish house. Another priest was
then sent to preside over the congre-
cation.
Appeals to Archbishop.
Father Wrenn claimed that he was
wrongful.y deposed and appealed to
Archbishop Keane of this city. The
archbishop then appointed commit
tee to investigate the matter and
Dean Cooney of Waterloo was selected
to conduct the investigation. Father
wrenn was represented in the meeting.
The findings of the investigation were
reported to the archbishop, but so far
no public announcement of them has
been made.
A Fight to the End.
1t was said that Father Wrenn In
tends to carry his matter to the high
est tribunal in the Roman Catholic
church. He hopes that the arch
bishop will reverse the ,tion of
Bishop Garrigan. If he does not
then it will be taken before Mgr. Tai
conf, the papal delegate at Washing
ton. and then on to Rome.
Apparently, the fight will be waged
in the ecclesiastical courts and will
not enter the civil tribunals.
