The liabilities of Archbishop
Purceli appears to increase by la
ter developments. The trustees
appointed some time ago to receive
arid audit claims, decline to make
a public statement of the amount
already filed, but at a recent meet
ing of the clergy, at which .the
archbishop presided, he stated
claims that had alrea'dy been filed
amounting to 83,600,000. All
schemes for his release having ap
parently failed, efforts will be
made by a committee of Roman
Catholic clergy to have the state
laws modified so 'that a lottery
scheme can be inaugurated for his
benefit. .Their success, however,
is considered doubtful. In Ohio,
. Irish catholics also complain that
no relief has been rendered the
archbishop from the .German
churches, while the latter ask that
a full statement of his wants be
made to the public first.
