men Of this city were present. The

an, having charged The reverend gen.

SheArer. Messrs. Baer, Jacobs and
Fisher represented the plaintiff, and D.
and j. Ermentrout the defendant. The
plaintiff closed bis case Of 4 o'clock this
afternoon, and the defendant took the
stand. She was severely cross
examined by NJ. Jacobs as 10 her
sp~iritualistic views. She said she
was a spiriiualist and q medium
that she read the Bible in the dark
through spiritualislic eyes that she
passed through rooms with locked
doors, which Immediately unlocked at

many large and small angels came 10

wheu in a trance; her body remained
on earth, while her spirit wandered
away off aud saw beautiful visions.
She was asked whether she saw as ST.

answered no. She looked through

cuted and reviled as the martyrs, but
blessed are ye whom men shall revile
and persecute for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"
The witness pretended 10 be
driven into q sort Of trance

element among the audience. II she

plays her cards well but The reverend
gentleman feels quite sanguine, as the
defense openly declare they do not
