The Defence Contending Against Pub
licity and the Prosecution Favoring
1t.
The Church OF the Scandal in Jersey City wore
very sombre appearance yesterday. The group OF
gentlemen composing the Presbyrery and few
reporters were the only tenants. The attendance
OF presbyters was larger than on any previous
day.
Edwin A. Bailey testified that Mr.. Glendenning
was at his house the 18th OF July last; be came
there at seven O'CLOCK in the evening and stayed
till after dark; think he was at my house on the
9th Of July. On cross examination he saId he was
not sure about the date.
Charles l. Corbln, OF Stelton, N. j., testified:
know Miss Hasklns; sne was employed in my
family; ON the srh OF October last she made
statement as to what she heard from Miss Pome-
roy. whom she attended; she said that while MISS
P0meroy was Ill Mrs. Miller called on her one day
and whispered to her, and then walked away; Miss
Pomeroy said "There, she wants twenty -nve dol
lars more, and that Is
THE LAST MoNEY
have; she got ninety-nve dollars before from me
tnat earned in the church :" Miss Pomeroy told
Miss Haskins about the same time that she was in
great distress in consequence OF an interview she
had with Mr.. Miller; he told her that If she did
not talk so and so to the lawyers, he would have
Mr.. Dudley tOverseer Of the Poor come and take
her TO the poorhouse.
On cross-examration witness testified that Miss
Haskins stated tnat Miss Pomeroy declared that
Mr.. Giendenning was the father Of her child; when
asked If Miss Haskins made the statements vol
unfairly and without any questioning on his part,
the witness said that ne remarked that some or
Mr.. Glendennings friends believed that Miss
P0merOy was under the influence OF the MillerS In
the statements she made.
The testimony OF DR.. Willard Parker, OF New
cussed the causes that LED to Miss Pomeroy's death
and the enect OF her PHYSICAL diseases on ner
mna was m on o. OPINION p lrom aa al toe
Under his theory OF the case the brain was 30
affected that the person was most likely to relt-
crate statements previously made. The following
question was put:-W0uld seduced womans
statement under such circums tances as to the
PAREHTAGE OF HER CHILD
be regarded by you as satisfactory evidence
against that mani A. should receive the state
ment OF one, situated as understand this woman
was fifteen or twenty minutes before death, with
very great doubt, on the ground OF her nearness
to death by this disease; II 1t were some other
disease her faculties might be clear to the last.
Q. II her mind was clear one-hali hour before
death, would it be an extraordinary casea A. 1t
would 40 not now recall any . sucn case: :,,
reconsidered. Mr.. Moore moved, at the request OF
Mr.. Glendennng, tnat the officers Of the church be
admitted during the summing up. Mr.. Ammer-
man was IN favor OF throwing open the doors to
all. Mr.. Moore was opposed TO this. He said that
during the tumut on Friday
A KNIFE WAS BRANDIsHRD.
DR.. Riggs, for the prosecution, said that great
advantage had been hitherto gained BY the Iuil
gave confidence to the public mind that the Pres
bytery were acting honestly. That advantage
would now be lost II the gentlemen OF the press
we're excluded during the summing up MIR. Dod,
for the defence protested against the admission OF
the press during the summing MP. On behalf Of
his client he had many things to say which 1t
would be highly improper to have sent broadcast
over the country. DIR. EDDY moved that the press
be admitted during the summing up. On close
vote the motion was declared lost.
The reading OF Glendennng's testimony on
cross-examnatiOn was then taken up and oc-
cupied the re nainder OF the session. Ii Mr.. bod
can not procure the attendance OF any more wit
nesses ne will close for the defence to-day. and then
the argument on the admission Of rebutting testi-
mony will be resumed.
