tIit priest lof assistance, ana SeNefal
times he forwarded money to her.
Once, his attorneys sail, ne assisted
her to wipe out doctor bin.
1t is said that a 81. Louis girl, a
close friend of Miss Cook, was with
the Cape Girardeau girl when she met
Father Siebert at tne Princess Hotel.
an establishment on 18th and Market
streets, this city, during the early
part of December. Each of the girls
occupied separate rooms, TIE young
ladies say, and during thcjr stay there,
Father Sicbert called on Miss Cook
twice, remaining in her room for
several hours each time.
During Miss Cooks visit in St.
Louis at that time, she demanded that
Father Siebert marry her. but he re-
fused, she says. According to her
story, Father Siebert promised to
Tcnomcc his religion an1 marry her.
His close friends say that he denies
this allegation, saying that their re-
latiOns had only been as priest and
parishioner, and that the subject of
matrimony was never suggested or
thought Of by him.
1t is understood that the priest,
through his attorneys, have made pre-
liminary plans to have the case
brought to the attention Of the FEEDER
al authorities, charging that it is a
scheme Of the two girls to extract
money from him through DIackmail
Two letters, written Il Father Sic
bert recently by Miss Cock, will be of
forcd in evidence to substantiate his
charge that the Cape Girardcau girl is
attempting TO force him to give her
money, under the threat Of being en-
posed.
The two letters from Miss Cook
follow.

LEAVES DECISION TO JUDGE
Jury in District Court Returns Verdict
as to Facts-Court to Pass on
Points % Law.

st. Cloud. - The jury in the case of
the St. Nicholas church against Carl
Kropp, contractor, passed the buck
to Judge Roeser in district court when
it returned a verdict by simply an
swering three questions raised in the
testimony relating to facts. The
church seeks to force payment of a
$1,000 check submitted with bids for
the erection of new church. Kropp
says mistake was made in the bid
and refused to enter into written
contract after being awarded the work.
The jury found, first, that a contract
had been entered into; second, that
Kropp made an honest mistake with
out negligence; third, that the church
committee did not know of the mis-
take when the bids were opened. The
court will now pass on the law in the
case.
