was pastor of a Catholic Church in
Edwardsville, Ill., was suspicioned of having become too intimate
with a sister of his own school, and this sister soon left the
sisterhood, and it was rumored that she went to St. Louis to evade
the birth of a child.

This very same priest was caught in the act of adultery with a
married woman in his office in East St. Louis. He was at that time,
besides being pastor, the editor and publisher of a very important
Catholic paper called "_The Catholic Progress_." This immorality of
Priest Kuhlman became public property and formed such a nasty mess
that the Catholic bishop had to take some notice of it and the case
was tried before the Bishop of Alton, Ill., and Kuhlman was
excommunicated for life.

This married woman gave testimony that was very damaging to the Rev.
Kuhlman and gave her evidence before a notary public, which cannot be
disputed, and it matters not how hard the Catholic Church may try to
villify these statements, they cannot overcome the truthfulness of
the same, as there are too many living witnesses at this time who
know that what I am relating is absolutely true.

Rev. Kuhlman was not satisfied with the verdict of the bishop of
Alton, Ill., and appealed his case to Rome, and the bishop was indeed
glad to get rid of this dirty case and did not appear in Rome to
prosecute the case, and the Rev. Kuhlman won the case in Rome by
default, and this same Rev. Kuhlman became a Catholic priest in good
standing again and was permitted to officiate as a minister of the
gospel, with all of this abominable slime of immorality clinging to
his priestly garments.

Now, bear in mind that Rev. Kuhlman, after having all of this
immorality laid at his door, was permitted by the Pope of Rome to go
right ahead with his priestly duties, but a short time after he won
his case at Rome there was an affidavit sworn out against Kuhlman by
a man in East St. Louis, averring that he had been again caught in
the act of adultery with another woman. This time the case was
reported to Bishop Janssen, of Belleville, Ill., and also to Cardinal
Martinelli, of Washington, D.C., but there was no attention paid to
it, and this Rev. Kuhlman was permitted to go right ahead in his
pastoral duties and is at the present time the pastor of a church in
East St. Louis and is also the spiritual director of a convent, which
contains many sisters and many pupils.

Now, if what I have related is false, Rev. Chas. K
