Mons. Fra^ois Fritsch, cure of Chervilliers, near Schlettstadt, was there in solitary con- finement. His village having been occupied by the Prussians, and the French having attempted to retake it, the good cure desired to intervene to save his parishioners' . Lives. He was thereupon accused of having exhorted the Baden troops not to fire on the French, and he was bound and taken to General Demling. " You are a sly fox, " said the General, " but we'll find a nice hole for you ; " and the unfort...unate priest was driven by forced marches to Rastadt, pinioned like a criminal ! An aged man named Bochelen, cure of Weckolsheim, near Neuf-Brisach, was taken IMPRISONED PRIESTS. 173 between two fires on the 3rd September. All his parishioners had fled in dismay, and he took refuge with the cure of the neigh- bouring village of Logelheim. He returned to Weckolsheim on the i4th, and found it pillaged, ruined, and deserted. On the i5th he went back again to his friend, without meeting a soul. On the morning of the 1 6th he was arrested by order of General Schmeling, and accused of having gone to pass the night at Neuf-Brisach to arrange for a sortie by the besieged, and it was the fact that on that day the troops had made a vigorous effort, from which the Germans suffered severely.
