Father Decker says that in the Jan. 26 Freeman's Journal he found an incorrect statement which he wishes to correct in the interest of the Alumni of the Secular Clergy of St. Vincent's Abbey. Under the heading "Credit to Whom Credit Is Due," the "Freeman's Journal" had held the Lake Shore "Visitor" mistaken in giving Messrs. Benziger credit for having made the Crozier and pectoral cross presented to Rt. Rev Arch-Abbot Boniface Winner C.S.B. on his Jubilee, Father Decker states that the "Visitor". was not mistaken, for it did not say the crozier was made by Benziger Bros., The pectoral cross of which the "Visitor" speaks was not the one made by F.X. Dutzenberg, of Crefeld, which was ordered by Father Michael Hofmayr of Allegheny, Pa. on behalf of the monks subject to Arch-Abbot Winner, and has neither diamonds nor amethysts, is not of gold, and has no gold chain. The cross presented to the Jubilarian was altogether different. There were two pectoral crosses. The credit given by the "Visitor" to Benziger Bros. was in its right place, for Father Decker ordered the Alumni cross himself. He encloses a clipping from the Lake Shore "Visitor", in which in a letter written by him to the "Visitor", dated Erie, Jan. 26, 1884, he states that the pectoral cross and ring presented to Arch-Abbot Winner on his Golden Monastic Jubilee were not manufactured by F.X. Dutzenburgh, of Crefeld, nor purchased from Messrs. Fuchs Bros, but were manufactured by and purchased from Messrs. Benziger Bros. By way of proof Father Decker holds the receipt of Benziger Bros. for the articles in question. If any other such articles were presented to the Arch-Abbot, the Alumni of St. Vincents had nothing to do with and knew nothing of the presentation. The Lake Shore "Visitor", in commenting on the letter, states that the New York "Freeman's Journal" did not make the correct inference, and the "Visitor" in the first instance gave credit where credit was due. :: I-2-e L. and clipping 3pp. 12mo.
