Capital Made of Trivial Incident
Which Happened a Month Aago.

On Wednesday the following wild
cat story appeared unler Putna m
date in the New York World The
same story was in another New York
daily and also in a Boston paper: and
was widely copied:
Hartford, June 29.-While the SUI
perfor court in Putnam was hearing
the $4,000 suit of the Rev. Father Ar
thur DeBruycker. pastor of ST. Ma
rvs Roman Catholic church OF Will
mantle, against Anthony Blum a stock
broker. yesterday afternoon, the priest
charging that Mr.. Blum swindled him
in a mining deal, Mr.. Blum who is
Roman Catholic. suddenly collapsed
on the stand. When ii seemed that
he would not rally ii became necessary
for his accuser to hear his confession
and administer to him the last rites
of the church.
A physician who attended Mr.. Blum
in the anteroom to which he had been
carried said there woulsf be no time
to summon any of the priests in the
town. AS soon as Father DeBruycker
heard of the condition Of the man he
was suing he came to his side without
hesitation. Mr.. Blum said to the
priest that he wanted him to hear his
confession and give him absolution
and extreme JUNCTION. SO the two were
left together till the confession had
been heard
As Father DeBrucker arose from
his knees another priest arrived with
was administered without delay.
Almost Immediately afterward there
came a heart reaction which resulted
in the patient recovering to such an
extent that he could be taken to a
hotel and later to his home in Bos-
ton.
Nothing to II.
In Fridays World the following ex-
PLANTATION set the matter right:
In a despatch from PEtnam. Conn.,
printed in the World on June 20, it
was inadvertently stated that the trial
OF an action brought by the Rev. Ar
thur DeBruycker, pastor of st. Mary's
Roman Catholic church at Whitman
tic Conn, to recover $4,000 from An
thony Blum, a Boston broker. had
in the court house at Putnam. through
the sudden Illness of Mr.. Blum to
whom, the despatch stated. the Rev.
Mr.. DeBruycker had administered the
last rites of the church I'm the court
room.
AS a matter of fact the trial OF the
action was halted on June ! through
the sudden Illness of Mr.. Blum, who is
an elderly man and was attacked with
acute indigestion. There was no adj
ministration of religious rites in the
court but Judge Wheeler, before whom
the case was being tried granted a
postponement until such time as MIR.
Blum would have recovered sufficiently
to enable him to appar in court again.
Mr.. Blums health is said to be i'm
proved and the case will be brought
to trial again as soon as possible. Mr..
Blum SAYS he has a complete defense
to the action and expects a judgment
in his favor.
