The case of DR.. Huston, as it now stands, is very
unsatisfactory to the public, and the impression Ia
gaining ground that the church authorities are en-
deavorng to smother it. The examination OF wit
nesses thus far by Presiding Elder Rogers and Rev.
DR.. Gardner Is merely to make up the list Of
charges on which he Is to be called upon to
answer before committee OF the church. Tho
investigation embraces examination into charges
OF seduction, bastardy, visiting taverns, drunken
ness and gambling. They have also correspondent
with parties in Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia and vr-

the house of Mrs. Talifero, under the name
Of Lucy Mumford, and that he was court
martialed and expelled the army for this immoral
proceeding What progress they have made in the
investigation Of these charges Is not KNOWN but no
one can talk with these gentlemen without being
satisfied that the proof they have already received

Central church. who advised Huston to fly from the
city, telling him at the time that he believed
him to be guilty. has proved all the charges
brought against him by Huston to be
false and malicious. and on Sunday last preached
In Huston's pulpit, which was regarded as an EVIL
dence that he has justified himself before the pre-
siding elder. He Immediately, on hearing OF the
charges, demanded the appointment Of committee
to accompany him to Parkersburg, Va, which was
the location Of the origin Of the charges and where

prepared this week to forward to DR.. Huston,
and will summon him to appear at the ex-

against the american has had the effect Of
intimidating some Of the witnesses who can give
charges but the large majority Of them are
Christian men and women who feel that they have
duty to perform in protecting the innocent and
Furnishing the guilty and cannot be deferred from
appearing before the tribunal that Is to find DR..
Huston innocent or guilty.
