Coeur d Alene Evening Press in CDA on July 6th 1895
WOULD NOT DISCUSS PUBLICLY
Washington june 29th
Monsignore Satolli returned today after an absence of some time at school commencements. Inquiry was made of him as to the status of the difficulty between Bishop Bonacum of Nebraska and Fathers Murphy and Fitzgerald who had threatened to appeal to Washington unless the bishop withdrew certain accusations he had made in dismissing them. In response to the inquiry Monsignore Satolli sent word that the case was not one which he would discuss publicly, further than to say that the diocese was in a very bad condition and the priests were in an unfortunate position. He would not state what appeal had been made or what action would be taken.
