A Retiring Catholic Judge.-When
Judge Mungovan retired two weeks
ago from the city bench of Fort Wayne,
Ind, one of the daily papers said in
it's comment on his record, HE could
be stern where sternness was needed,
but for the great army of unfortunate
derelicts-down and out men and
hapless wonderland for boys and
girls whose environment had made
them victims he had a helping hand
and a word of cheer. Many man
and many a women, many boy and
not a few girls owe better lives to
Judge Mungovan's humane instinct for
doing the right thing for those to
whom the wrong thing would have
been fatal" Judge Mungovan is a
brother of Rev. Thomas Mungovan, of
