The TrinZ Of REQ. Mr.. Kalloch.

q BosroN, April 1.-The trial Of the Rev. Mr.. Kali
loch for adultery was continued day ct Cambridge.
E. b Bailey, one of the proprietors OF the Lech-
mere House, resumed his testimony from yesterday
and occupied the stand for several hours The gist
of the testimony was, that suspectng something he
took measures to have peep in the private room
engaged by Nr. Kalloch, when he and his female
companion returned from the lecture. This was ac-
complished by large key forcing aperture at the
top of the door, through which could be seen the
bed IN the room, and portion of the for. The
bed was not disturbed by the defendant, except to
take from it pillow, when the witness says the par
ties laid down the floor together, but in part of
the rather out ofthe range ofhis peeping hole
The witness could not testify to the direct act of cr
minality, but repeated the disgusting conversation
which he alleges the parties INDUCED in while on
the floor, with other incidents which he thought in
furious to the reputation Of his house. When Mr..
Kalloch called for his bill witness charged him five
dollars, which was paid without grumbling:
Samuel r. Gddings, an omnibus fare taker, who
aternated with Mr. Bailey in peeping into the room
on his interesting OCCASION corroborated the preced
ing witness.
Mr. Steen of Bratteboro, Vermont, said to be the
husband of the lady implicated with Mr.. Kalloch,
was in court very near to that gentleman and occa-
sionally conversed with him. 1t would that
the gentleman is satisfied that his wife is bamecss
and the testimony relating to her alleged crminalty
appeared to make un(avorabe impressions upon him.
Those portions Of the evidence describing the al
legged endearmcnts ofthe loving couple seemed rah
err to excite merriment than otherwise. /; is stated
that Mr. Steen volunteers his presence to testify that
were it not for sickness his wife would add
her testimony to that for the defence.
The trial will occupy several days.

his female companion at the Lechmere House was
exhibited to the jury. Three witnesses were then
examined for the prosecution, but their testimony
was merely relative to the defendants presence at
the hotel and in the lecture rcom and threw no new
light upon the criminal charge. The prosecuting at
torncy then inquired of defendants counse, if they
intended to hold him to prove that the 9Th of
January last VI kalloch married man, having
a lawful wife other than the woman in his company
at the Craig House.
DR.. Dana, for the defendent, conceded the fact
rcmakns, I" Mr.. Kalloch requests me to say that he
is proud to say that he is married man. and that
there is Mrs. kaoch; also that she would be here
alter these foul and false details are done with,
which are uniting for a lady to hear and will be
found sitting alongside her husband"
The fact that the woman with Mr. KallGch on tie
night in question not his wife was also admitted

ton rested the About sixty witnesses were

veycd the defendant and woman to the hotel were

landlord Of the hotel, at an interview he had with
him On the alleged crminaty OF Mr.. KalIoch. The
witness acted agent Of the trustees of the Ire
mont Temple. The interview was to elicit facts. Mr..

NATTER and the statement he made to witness did
not 50 fully implicate Mr.. Kalioch the testimony
he (Baey) gave on the stand.

con Merrill.
