CLAREs THAT HE NEVER SUGGESTED OR AD-
yIsED THAT PROCEEDINGS BE BROUGHT

MR. CROSBY.
Two important witnesses Dr. Van Dyke and Mr.
Crosby. testified yesterday before the brooklyn
Presbytery in reference 10 MrSIalmage's alleged
fasehood and deceit. DR.. Van Dyke asserted mat
he was not instrumental in bringing the piococ"-
ings which resulted in this trial. ana narrated at
length his part IN the Hathaway trouble Mr'CfosDy
was on the stand for only twenty minutes ho
stated that Mr. Talmage said to him just year ago
that many members of the Presbytery would DC
greatly delighted to see the Tabernacle Submergeu'
If was expected that the crOss-examination OF Dr.
Van DYKE by Dr. Spear would be very lively.
Early in the trial DR.. Spear remarked
shall be delighted to crOss-examine my Droiher
Van Dyke" and the well-knOwD relations between
these two clergymen led to a belief that there
would be an interesting cross-fire wheh Dr van
DYKE was on tho stand. Those who looked 'oi
this, however, were disappointed. as both couhsci
and witness seemed anxious to repress any oulp"i'
When Dr. Spear turned him over to his colleague,
DIR. Van DYKE remarked that the examlna-
ton had gone on pleasantly, and with Christian
nronrietv. The even tenor of the day was once In
terrunted when the Rev. Mr.. Jones declared that
Mr. Mllard was putting questions in dishonest
wav. Mr. Millard Indignantly denied the truth OF
this accusation and demanded q retracton.
The prosecution in the case is drawing TO
close. Mr.. Crosby will continue his testimony To-
day, and only few other witnesses remain. There
is possibility that the case against Mr. lalmage
will be finished to-day and it is likely that 1t Will
not continue beyOnd this week.
