Postmaster Monfort acknowledged
receipt OF Mr.. Crowley's AFFIDAVIT and
charges and promised that the matter
would receive his personal atten.
tion. Seven days later Mr.. Crowley
received letter from the POSTMASTER,
together with a letter from clerk
Hurney denying the charges but max.
ing admissions which showed that he
was evadlhg the truth. and that Grow.
leys charges were true and correct.
He even states that be had previously
agreed to apologize TO Mr.. Crowley.
notwithstanding the fact that he pro.
.ested bis innocence.
In his own statement (which bears
evident eAr.marks OF dictation from
either priest or a Jesuit) this Cath.
