THE KENNEY scandal.

The Philadelphia Chronicle of last even
ing prints the following statement of q
spectator, who was present during the trial
Of Rev. E. J. Kenney. for alleged improper
conduct towards q daughter of Mrs. Van
Meter, at Brandywine Summit Camp:
The testimony offered by the pros ,cution
was of the most contradictory and irrecon-
ciIable character: each witness fatty contra
dic,ed themselves and one another through
1t. Intelligent men, who listened pat en- y
to it all, say that no jury in the country
would convict on such testimony. The wit
nesses on the part Of the defense were Of un-
doubted good character and veracity, vet, ,
but little weight BY some of the committee
was seemingly attached to their evidence
How the conclusion of the majority could
be reached from the evidence in the case. it
is impossible to comprehend. Certainly,
those who voted affirmatively must have
been Influenced in their action by considera-
tions outside of the range of the evidence.
1t looks as though some of them had form.
ed an opinion beforehand as to Mr.. kenney's
culpsbility, and therefore were not prepar-
ed to give that due weight to the testimony
of the defense whichit undoubtedly deserved.
The testimony Of George Kenney, q son Of
the defendant, Was considered conclusive
against that of the prosecution. George
was with his father from the time he Is said
to have first gone to Vanmeter's tent, till
his return home. Unshaken confidence is
still held in Mr.. Kenney by the community
in which he resides, and BY the church Of
which he was pastor.
