Request for Information About Emmett McLoughlin

Emmett McLoughlin was a fallen priest (of the diocese of Tucson, most likely, or maybe of Phoenix) who made a name for himself in the last century by publishing works directed towards the baser instincts of anti-Catholic bigots, including Crime and Immorality in the Catholic Church, An Inquiry into the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and People's Padre.

A friend has been told that McLoughlin was reconciled to the Church before he died. Supposedly, a Franciscan priest named Father Albert Braun had claimed to have heard McLoughlin's confession, though it is unclear to me whether it was Fr. Braun who had supposedly reconciled McLoughlin to the Church.

If anybody has any information about this, to verify or to refute it, or to point me towards more information, please write to me. Thanks.
