DR. McGLYNN'S REMOVAL

He Says it Was an Intrigue Between Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane.

New York, Sept. 12.—A Brooklyn paper stated yesterday, on the authority of prominent Catholic, not named, that Dr. McGlynn's defense was never presented at Rome and that Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane intrigued to secure control of the new Catholic university, ignoring Bishop Spalding, and that Dr. McGlynn's removal was a means to this end. In consequence of this, it was said, Miss Cauldwell withdrew her subscription of $300,000.

Dr. McGlynn said last night: "The story is substantially correct. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane were supposed to be my friends, but I do not know what induced them to act against me. I don't know that Miss Cauldwell withdrew her subscription. I do know that Cardinal Gibbons was instructed by the pope to write me a letter, asking me to go to Rome. He never wrote to me, but did speak to Dr. Burtzell, who wrote him a long letter concerning my case. That letter was never presented at Rome. In it Dr. Burtzell said that if I was invited in a gentlemanly way to go to Rome, undoubtedly I would go.

"When asked what had become of that letter, Cardinal Gibbons said it was in the hands of the director of the American college at Rome; but when lately pressed about it, he said it was probably thrown into his waste basket with other matter."

The article published to-day further states that Dr. Burtzell, who is celebrated for his knowledge of church law, thinks the excommunication of Dr. McGlynn was grossly irregular and he will apply for a reopening of the case and appear as the doctor's counsel.
