SUIT REPLY DENIES
CAMPBELL CHARGES.
Archbishop CurIey Declares
Pastor Acted in Complaint
Without His Approval.

Michael j. Curley, Archbishop of
Baltimore, has filed answer to the suit
for $4,000 damages recently brought
against him in the District Supreme
Court by James w. Campbell, a sand
contractor, for alleged malicious prose-
cution in connection with the removal
of sand from church property at Fiji
tenth street and Morris road south
east.
Archbishop Curley denies that the
action of Rev. Franz M. w. Schnee-
weiss, pastor of the Church of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help, in reporting
removal of the sand to the Police
Court prosecutor was done with his ap-
prevail and ratification. He says that
the pastor and the contractor, Alfred
j. wise, consulted a practicing lawyer
and we're advised by him to lay the
facts before the assistant United States
attorney at Police Court. 1t was the
latter official, he said, who caused the
issuance of the warrant.
Father SchneeweisS and Alfred j.
Wise also filed answers to the separate
suits against them for $25 900 each for
alleged SANDER. The pastor and Mr..
Wise both declare that their statement,
to which exception is taken by the
plaintiff, was to woman who had been
referred TO by Campbell as reference
and who, they thought, should be APP
prised of what had taken place. They
deny that there was malice in their re-
marks and inform the court that the
woman said she had already read about
the transaction in newspaper.
Attorneys William E. Leahy and Eu-
gene B. Sullivan appear for the three
defendants.
The charge against Campbell was
nolle pressed by United States Attor-
ney Rover without presentation to g
grand jury.
