...greasy, grinning Capone belongs credit for the freedom he has so far enjoyed, but rather to his adroit, Irish-blooded attorney, Michael Ahern. Born "back of the yards" in Chicago 43 years ago last week, the son of a mail carrier. Michael Ahern was educated by Jesuit priests, learned from them a skill and precision in disputation which has since stood him in good stead. Later he was graduated from Loyola University. In the two decades he has practiced law in Chicago he has become known as one of the city's best appeal lawyers. He has attracted outside attention...
Black constables shouting cockney rushed among the people, trying to get them indoors. The first impact struck the Jesuit mission on the shorefront, lifted it, sifted it through its invisible hands like a pack of cards. There perished ten priests.

Last week shouting mobs bore down on the Jesuit Industrial School, burned it to the ground, swept on to a Carmelite Convent, newly erected with funds collected in South America, and burned that too. In short order four more schools and convents were burned. Nuns and priests fled through back doors. Martial law was declared...
...shrine already contains bones of John de Brebeuf, Gabriel Lalemant and Charles Gamier, Jesuit colleagues in the task of converting the Hurons, whom the Iroquois had vowed to exterminate. The cruelties and hardships to which they submitted were rewarded by canonization last June, the two requisite miracles for that purpose having been duly accepted by the Congregation of Sacred Rites. One was the perfect and instantaneous cure of Sister Marie-Maxima of the religious House of St. Hyacinth, in Quebec; the other, the equally perfect and instantaneous cure of Sister Savoie of the diocese of Chatham (Canada). Both Sisters were...
