To the Editor of the Star:
One of our Newport reporters is aboul
going into the lecture field, and from our
knowledge of the young man we are pno-
pared to say that the Rev. Bob lngersoH
Will have to look to his laurels. We-anA
pretty nearly everybody else in Newport
have heard the youth rehearse his little
piece a thousand times. He never visits
the churches except to spy out the weak
spots of Christian theology. AS at every
visit he accumulates an immense stock of
ammunition, to be used in battering down
the walls of Christianity, the ministers OF
the city are taking the alarm. They are
seriously thinking of establishing a Pass
port system. in order to keep him out Of
the churches.
The case of the Commonwealth VS.. Chas.
c. Harris was the first on the docket in the
Criminal Court this morning. The attor-
neys for the defense. Col. r. w. Nelson
and Judge Hallam, moved for a continu-
ance until the next term of Court on thu
following affidavit to wit: That on tho
night of Nov. 2Sth, 1875 when the crime b
alleged to have been committed, the accused
was present at a church festival, but that
he was unable to recall the name of but one
member of the Church who was present,
and therefore prayed for further time to get
Tia names of Others to prove OF his Har-
risO whereabouts on the night in question.
Prosecutor Clary objected to a continuance
on the ground that due diligence had
been used in obtaining witnesses The mo-
tion for continuance was laid over IL .
further hearing until Friday.
