Board Denies
knowledge Of
Lepeer's Escape
Yelled Humor, Current When
Victim First Left Madison
County, Supplanted by
Gravity Of Situation.

Madison, Neb., Nov. p. - (Spe-
cial. )-Thd fact that Charles Young,
a leper, is roaming che United
States and probably spreading the
disease, is a question Of distaste to
members OF the board of commits
sioaers of Madison county. Some
of the stories which>havc come out
since the leper escaped from the
county poor farm last July are now
being denied by members, OF the
board. and an effort is being made
to indicate that eNlfyt}6hg was done
to hold the lepcr in this county.
The veiled humor which existed
when it was made generally pubic
that this county was rid OF the un-
welcome victim seems TO have dis
appeared. The boasts which some
citizens have made that the county
saved $1,000 by the departure OF the
leper seem to have been subsided by
the more serious thought of the
leper mingling with healthy people
and spreading disease which can
result in an epidemic.
Deny knowledge Of Esacpe.
Some of the county officials make
stright forward statement now that
they had no knowledge that the man
had escaped and that after they
learened of his departure an effort
was made to locate him.
County Commissioner Fred Terry
declares that the county has done
everything possible for the comfort
of the diseased man aud had, also
exhausted every possibN means OF
sending him to leper colony. The
commissioner agrees that no. grovl-
sions had been made to confine the
man and that he was free to come
and go as he pleased. In fact, Young,
was an honor patient of the county
in a temporary pesthouse on the
poor farm grounds. His food was
brought to him by employees OF the
farm. He led a lonely and miser-
able life in unsanitary surround-
ings,
Records May Be Disclosed.
Now that the state board OF
health is making an investigation
into the case, it is expected that the
records at the poor farm which are
withheld from the public at this
time, will be uncovered. s
One report of the incident II, COM
with Young is strangely de-
MED bJ Commissioner Terry.
"One neWspaper has announced
that the county never had the
money, or intended to pay the
money to. the Louisiana leper col
ony for the care of the Madison
county 1eper," Terry said. This is
absolutely untrue. The facts arc

purchased draft for $4,000 aud.
sent a man to Louisiana with the
money. When he arrived in Louisi-
ana the state board of health there
refused to allow Young entrance
to the colony.
Secret Trip Planned,
1t was previously explained that
the Louisiana colony management
wanted $1,000 for the care of
Young. Plans were made to send
Sheriff Smith and some other man
to Louisiana with Young. The trip,
according to unofficial reports, was
to have been made secretly because
of possible objections which would
have been raised by state board of
healths en- route. The name of the
man who made the trip to Louisiana
with the money was not given out by
Commissioner Terry.

Body Of Priest Found.
Galway, Nov. 2l.-The body OF
Father Griffin, who was the curate
OF Bushy park, was found dn bog
by the roadside near Darna, four
Yiles from Galway. Volunteers had
been searching for the missing man
since he was kidnapped by three un-
known persons last Sunday. A party
of country lads made the discovery.
The lads observed in the bog what
appeared to have been>-a recent up
heaval. They began probing into the
lnound with sticks and finally uncov-
cred the skirts and the ovefeoat of
the priest. Without proceeding fur
ther they sent for priests in Gal
way and when they arrived, working
under their, direction by moonlight,
rnearthei the body of the missing
curate. A bullet wound in the head
OF the priest was evidence of the
cause of his death.

inhabited part Of the countryside tell

last Sunday, following the kidnapping
of Father Griffin. of 1orry load Of
men. The 1orry halted near the spot
where the body was found and the
lights extinguished. In about 20
minutes the lamps were relighted and
the party drove away.
First to Forfeit Life.
At St. Johephs church where
Father Griffin presided, pathetic
scenes of grief were witnessed. The
priests omitted the usual sermon and
confined themselves to relating in
cidents of the life of Father Griffin
and paying tribute to him. They
declared that the priest had earned
a martyrs crown and begged the
congregation to pray for the re-
pose of his soul, but not to forget
also to pray for his murderers.
Although number ofpriests late
~ have been ill-treated or threat
ened, Father Griffin is the first to
forfeit his life.
In fact no priest has been done
to death in Ireland in many years
Father O'Meehan, Father Griffin's
colleague and senior eurate. with
whom Father Griffin lived, said
in church that he had received five
written threats of death since last
May and that he did not dare sleep
in his own home. He added that
Father Griffin had never received
any threats.
