Out at Last.
ASSAlING MARY POMEROY'S CHARACTER

ASSAlllNG MARY P0MER0Y'S CHARACTER
The trial or the Rev. John 8. Giendenning was
resumed yesterday. Before the proceedings CON-
menced Rev. Dr. Imbrle. on behalf OF the prosecu-
tion, repeated his protest OF the previous day
against any manifestation OF applause or OF dis
pleasure on the part or the audience during the
trial II 1t were repeated he would feel IL his duty

or all persons except the Presbytery and the
reporters. The Presbytery might have conducted
the trial privately; but as IL was resolved to con-
duct 1t openly he hoped the privilege would not be
abused.
The defence then offered their case without pre-
face or statement by Introducing Miss Jennie Dog
gett as the first witness. She testded-I am o
member Of the Prospect avenue church; was ac-
qualnted with Miss Pomeroy; had conversation
with her during the summer oil 1873 about q
port concerning Mr.. Glendenning and he rself; she
told me tnat there was no more between her and
Mr.. Glendenning than there was between him
and me; she wore an amethyst ring.
Cross-examined-I asked her II that was her en-
gagement ring, and she said no; tnat 1t was given
her by her cousin; did not noice both her
hands; she might nave nad ring on the other
hand without my seeing n.

and she said no, tnat she never had such thing
and was not engaged.
ON crosse xamina tiOn witness testiled-The
reason mad ior asking ner whether that was her
engagement ring was that there was prevalent
talk around here that she and Mr.. Gendenning
were engaged; thought by ner actions that she
wanted to fOrce nerseIi upon Mr.. Glendenning; ne
did not want to snow her any attention.

A MODEL WITNESS.
Horace Dean testhed:-Am q member OF this

teachers; there was nothing IN Mr.. GlendennlnR's
conduct toward her more tnan to any . her lady,
