Madagascar that he and his men had
necome arch pirates themselves re-
suited in his arrest at Boston i'm

1IOl. But although his name has
become synonymous with frecboot-
ing and altougth ghastly charges
were made against him and treasure
worth 1000 pounds was recovered
from him, Kidd was never convicted
OF piracy. His sentence was i'm
posed for the murder OF one Of his
seamen. william Moore.
Kidd contended that he was cocrccd
by his crew, and that he had struck
Moore when the latter was mutinous.
Many have held that his trial was
high handed and unfair. Some au-
thorities believe that he accepted his
commission to fight piracy in good
faith. but forget his good intentions
after he reached MAZDA gascar, as
piracy was such temptingly profit
able business in those days His
eminent patrons were ahsolvcd after
a parliamentary investigation.

City, In his suit for 100000 damages

were made In the course OF ordinary
business

Kinllead. the Rev. John Ryan of st.

to his bank. The visitors asked for the
balance of Father Sexton's checking ac-
count and were told 1t was not more
than 800. Il did not tell them" said
Mr.. Shannon. that Father Sexton had
transferred $4,000 from a checking ac-
count TO an interest account on March

siona,ly honorable to tell them"
Mr.. Shannon said, however, that he
told Father Ryan confidentially OF the
transfer.
Miss Mary Smith OF Newark said she
was in Harry Boland's office when
Father Sexton alleges Major kinkead

loafer, and you are not fit to wear the
Roman collar" She said those were the
exact words of the Major.
