pleasure of it." In 1888 he was ac-
cepted oa probation as a Paullst No.
vice. He was expelled from the Pau
| list Novitiate, as the records show,
for ''inveterate lying, fraud and de-
ceit'' He has made use of a letter
from Father Deshon of the Paulist
Order, stating that "he was under no
canonical impediment," which is a
technical expression, in substance
equivalent to that of a civil judge re-
marking, concerning an individual that
mo sufficient reason has been brought
before me why this man should 90 to
jail" with characteristic drollery,'
says Father MacCorry of the Paulist
order, 'Dwyer in his booklet and else
where has falsiied the date of this
letter to read February, 1908, whereas
Father Deshon passed to his reward
in 1904"
I shall not stop to comment on his
editorship of the Orphans Bouquet
nor on the reason Of his relinquishing
this position and LEAVING Boston, nor
can I but make mention that he was
a "Universalist" in Roxbury, Mass;
that be repented and abjured, under
solemn oath "his errors;" that soon
after this, he was associated with the
Shakers; that, after leaving them, the
printing shop of the Rosary Maga-
zine, of Somerset, Ohio, was vociferous
in it's echoes to his plaintive wall of
gratitude that Almighty God had
brought him back once more to the
faith of his foresires;;" that he has
said some guileless things in public
about his experience as a Dominican
novice but the record shows that he
never set foot across the threshold Of
the Dominican novitiate, although he
did have job Of general utility man
around the presses, eight miles dis
tant from the cloister, and The record
further states che affected the airs of
a dilettante and the role of penitent
and his fellow worh1nen came to des-
pise him and he proved himself such
an unmitigated liar that he was or
dered to quit the premises" that soon
he had another "ca1l" this time the
'voice" came from Westminster, Nd,
from the Episcopalian monastery" of
Holy Cross; that the fathers" Of this
place refused finally to accept him for
orders; that after another "repen-
tance'' and abjuration of "his errors"
he is again a Catholic, connected with
the fathers of the blessed sacrament
and their paper, "The Sentinel;" that
once more he was expelled for con-
duct do not care to speak Of at pres
ent; that in 1904, he found favor in
Mr.. Roosevet's eyes, went to Spain
where he ''stereopticoned the royal
court" descended upon Rome, and
about to be ordained when inVestiga-
ton was begun and once more the
'reverend'' gentleman had to look for
another "call'' that next he became
'fthe celebrated convert from Roman
ism" under Methodist auspices.
In 1908 under the direct patronage
sponsorship of the ministerial union
of Cleveland, Ohio, whose president
was the Rev. G. A. Mitchell, his out
rageous abuse of the Catholic religion
brought upon him an expose OF his
life and a challenge to his sponsors.
This challenge, Mr.. Editor, was not
answered for reason only too evident,
and so it still stands before the world.
This challenge contains charges that
can not be passed over in silence
either by the "Reverend" Mr.. Dwyer
or by any one who stands sponsor for
him.
Lest it be thought that I am making
mere assertions and am unfair in my
criticisms of the "Reverend" Augustn
Dwyer, submit (and believe me, Mr..
Editor, I do so with the greatest re-
luctance but from a high sense of
duty to enlighten and protect the peo-
pfc of this section irrespective of
creed) the following sworn affidavit
which speaks for itself and which is
only one of number Of docum entary
evidences of the truth of what I have
said:
