GLENDENNING'S TENERITY!
He Returns to Jersey City in
Open Day.
A Knotty Legal Point in the case-Another
Fierce Invective from Methodist Pull
pit-The Beecher and Glenden-
ming Cases Contrasted.

II Will be startling news 10 the people OF Jersey
CITY this morning that GIendenning Is again in
their midst. Mention was made in the HERALD
Yesterday that an a.tempt was made by one owen
10 disturb the Indignation meeting ON Saturday
night. But Tor the firm resolve and cool Judgment
tnat characterized that meeting owen would have
been transferred to the street from q second story
window Had the whole truth been then known
NO influence could have saved him from violence.
Al that very time Glendenning was in OWENS
house at Cherry Lane IN West End--the western
section OF Jersey City-and Is PROBABLY still
there. II, after hearing the echo from the
demonstration at McPherson's Hail on Saturday
night he still remains there It may not be quite
sale Tor him TO rely upon the reputation OF Jersey
men as law-abiding citizens. People had made up
their minds that he haa taken long farewell OF
the city that witnessed his rise ana his fall. His
iegal advisers, finding that the place was becoming
very hot, advised him to ''stck,n as the safest
course to impress the public with his Innocence,
ana he seems to be Influenced to great degree by
that counsel Moreover, he has been legally ad-
ysed that the dying statement OF Miss
Pomeroy counts for nothing IN a legal pro-
eeedng because, under the statutes OF New
Jersey and the opinions of able com.
mentators like Greenleaf, dying declaration
Is admissible against the accused only in cases OF
homicide, and even in those 1t Is restricted
10 the proof OF killing. This explains in great
measure the etirontery displayed by Glendenning
IN TINS melancholy case. and 1t also gives the ex.
pianation why Justice Adridge is poweress to take
ANY iurther steps IN the matter 1t may appear as
founding, but 1t is nevertheless TACT, that Gen-
aenning's bondsmen can claim q release from
their recognizance and after the lapse

refuse. District Attorney Garretson is expected
u give hrs opinion to-day in tine case. Several
gentlemen OF the committee OF citizens appoint ed

Some OF GlendenninR's friends contradict the
statement OF Mrs. Miller concerning the visit to
the infant asylum in Clinton place, New York.
Tney state that the matron did not recognize the
photograph OF Glendenning ana that as lar as the
resident physician OF the Institution Is concerned
