Show v FATHER KEENAN. A Exaggerated Accounts About His 1 Conduct and Disappearance. The disappearance of Father Keenan on Sunday after the usual Sunday services, ser-vices, has caused considerable comment, com-ment, and, as usual in all such cases, is exaggerated in the accounts given. Apart from the effects of an ailment from which he had been suffering for two days, on Saturday night he felt well. On the same night at 10 o'clock he spoke of the duties assigned to him for Sunday, saying he would be able to do his work all right after a good night's rest. During the services the members of the congregation did not notice anything any-thing wrong with him. He looketf pale and weak, and evidently was not in his usual form. At the end of the mass, when he turned out to preach, he showed signs of a nervous feeling, and the various topics touched on clearly indicated that he was not in his usual state of mind. As he discussed dis-cussed a number of minor topics, it was evident that his "mind was rambling, ramb-ling, as he would not dwell on any subject sub-ject for more than a few minutes. The report that he fainted on the altar, or that he was assisted by another an-other priest to complete the services, is not correct. He has been a sufferer suf-ferer from heart trouble for years, and has been taking medicine to alleviate the trouble. Did he take an over dose? This is the question which he alone can answer. . ' Y |
