er, but as 'Geo. West,' don't you?" Priest
Sander tried to look surprised, and he folded a slip of paper he
held in his hand and got very nervous and replied, "Now, that is a
pretty story, isn't it; who told you all this?"
The reporter laid before him all the facts he had gathered at Far
Hills, and demanded that he affirm or deny the story. Then this
priest said, "I may as well confess; it will be the ruin of me; it
will take the bread out of my mouth, but you have got it absolutely
straight." The reporter asked Priest Sander if he positively didn't
know that this woman who sailed under the name of "Mrs. Geo. West"
wasn't Mrs. Mamie Kipp.
This priest, not being content with the dastardly part that he had
played in his immoral conduct with Mrs. Kipp, absolutely denied that
it was Mrs. Mamie Kipp, and further declared that he knew nothing
about her, except that she was the "housekeeper" at Peck's farm, and
why she was called "Mrs. West" he did not know; thus you will see
that while he was guilty of immorality with Mrs. Mamie Kipp, he also
was a notorious liar; but bear in mind that this same Priest Sander
was still at this time presiding over a Catholic church in Brooklyn.
The reporter was determined to lead him out as far as possible so he
repeated again, "Are you absolutely positive that 'Mrs. West' at
Peck's farm is not Mrs. Mamie Kipp?"
This priest replied that he was "positive," and stated that this
woman at Peck's farm was Peck's housekeeper, and further stated that
he did not know anything about her at all, when he knew as well as he
knew that he was living that he had been the cause of her forsaking
her husband in Brooklyn, and also had been instrumental in her going
to Far Hills, N.J., where he could live his life of shame without
molestation.
After this vagabond had made this denial, Mr. Peck was again seen at
Far Hills, N.J., and emphatically stated that Priest Sander had told
him that this woman was Mrs. Mamie Kipp, and that he knew that this
priest was living in adultery with her.
What is the consequence? Did the Roman Catholic Church excommunicate
this bundle of perfidy for immorality? Ah, no! As the "moguls" and
"high up" officials of Catholicism are cognizant of the fact that the
priestcraft are, as a whole, the most immoral set of men that ever
infested the face of the earth. Now, what can we expect of the morals
of a country which has for its leaders and teachers men of this
caliber? We mig
