Anglican Old Catholic union talks pace on continental visits
Bishops of Lichfield and Salisbury travel in Europe to advance closer ties between the Church of England and Old Catholics. Commissions from Archbishop of Canterbury guide the effort, with a July Lambeth conference to review the plans. The Old Catholics reject Trent and transubstantiation, citing liturgical influences from English and Eastern rites. James P. McCabe, who killed Michael Riley in Wayne County, was hanged at Honesdale yesterday.

Attorney Files Writ Plea in Parsons Habeas Case
Chicago November 10 Attorney Salomon appeared before Judge Tuley seeking a writ of habeas corpus for A R Parsons. He argued the process and Supreme Court judgment are void due to an absent defendant, and that the November 11 execution order is unconstitutional. Judge Grinnell said the case records and death warrant are with the sheriff and the habeas bid is absurd. Salomon claimed Parsons is held under two writs and urged the Supreme Court be sent back to the lower court for anew pronouncement. Captain Black later served notice on Sheriff Matson about the supposed order from Illinois Supreme Court clerk directing execution.
