Jesse Gilbert was acquitted at
San Luis last week on the charge
of murder of the unknown man
found on the road east of Alamosa
last December. A strong chain of
circumstantial evidence was intro
duced to show that young Gilbert
was guilty, but the Mexican jury
could not find it sufficient to con-
vict. Some of the Conejos county
people believe that the acquittal
was great miscarriage of justice.

OLDEST HOLY cross
BROTHER DEAD
BROTHER 5oNIFAcE, c. S. c.,
CAME TO NOTRE DAME UNIVER-
sITY WHEN 1T WAS TEN YEARS
oLD-AN INTIMATE FRIEND OF
FATHER soRIN.

Brother Boniface, one of the oldest
and best known members of the Con-
gregation of the Holy Cross, died at
Notre Dame, Ind, on February 20, in
the sixty-first year of his religious life.
Francis Muir, as he was known in
the world, was born at Neiheim, Ger
many, January 4, 1928. In early life
he came to America and taught school
in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1853 he joined
the Brotherhood of Holy Cross and
during his long life held many impor-
tant positions in the community. He
directed schools in Cincinnati, Coving-
ton and Chicago.
In 1907, Brother Boniface, with
Brothers Basil and Benjamin, cele-
brated the golden jubilee of his relig-
ious profession at Notre Dame, to
which he came ten years after its
foundation by Father Sorin of whom
he was an intimate friend. His
nephew, the Right Reverend F. F.
Linneborn, G. s. G. was appointed
Bishop of Dacca, India, in 1909.

THE FIRST NUNS IN AMERICA
THE URSULINES OF QUEBEC
CAME IN 1859 AND THOSE OF
NEW ORLEANS IN 1927.

The first body of nuns to establish
themselves in America were the
Ursulines who, under the superiorship
of Madame de la Peltrie, established
the Hotel Dieu at Quebec, in May,
1899.
The first body of religious women
to establish a convent in the United
States were the Ursuline nuns at New
Orleans in 1927.
The royal patent authorizing the
Ursulines to establish convent in
Louisiana was issued September 18
1925, by King Louis XIV. Mother Marie
Tranchepain de st. Augustine, with
seven professed nuns from Rouen, Lie
Havre, Vannes, Ploermel, Hennebor
and Elbouf, and novice, Madeline
Hauchard, and two seculars, met al
the infirmary at Hennebon and on Jan
uary IL, 1927, accompanied by Fathers
Tartarin and Doutreleau, set sail fol
Louisiana. They were over six months
at sea, and it was not until August
1927, that they reached the embryo
city of New Orleans. They were re
ceived with every honor by Bienville
