THE TALMAGE CASE.
Revs. Drs. Crosby and Mccullough, prose-
cutting counsel devoted this afternoon In sum-
ming up the case against the Rev DIR. Tai
mage DR.. Crosby began by an appeal to the
Judgment Of the presbytery, instead OF to
their feelings, saying that the honor of the
Church of Christ was at stake. They must
Judge according to the truth. After reference
to tempering mercy with the punishment, he
took up and reviewed the evidence upon the
tion, relating to the trouble over the organi-
zation of the Tabernacle had, he said, not
been proven, for the reason that the witnesses
had declined to testify In the case AS to the
nouncement Of Talmage that he was to be
arraigned for unsound doctrine DR.. Crosby
said Since Talmage declared, under oath,
he had knowledge he was to be tried forafalse-
hood and deceit, they would accept that ac-
acknowledgement and would not press this
not avoid voting to sustain.
The speaker then devoted some time to the
review OF Talmages withdrawal from the
Christian at Work, contending that there was
Work was about to stop and that at the inter-
view between Major COrwin, DR.. Talmage and
Mr.. Halleck it was Talmage and Corwins
purpose to arrange for getting out q new
paper to supplant the Christian at Work; that
the use Of the mailing tests was by no means
the harmless proposition that Talmage and
Corwin would have them to think. Talmage
was also guilty Of deceit in allowing Hawley
to issue circular, setting forth to subscribers
that they would find pr. Talmage's 1t
Christian at Work, when he knew he
was going to leave the paper. DR.. Tai
mage wronged and deceived his associates
of the Christian at Work. and he wronged
anu ueCelVeu dalleck, purchaser OI Gne GRT1S-
ts0n at Work. 1t was q piece OF sharp
practice on Talmage's part and was false
hood and deceit. Talmage's Insertion OF q
was q piece OF deceit. There was
no evidence to show that the paper was sold
surreptitiously as claimed by Talmage. Hal
leck would not have purchased the paper IL
he had not thought Talmage would not re-
main as editor. DR.. Crosby maintained that
the second specification in reference to the pub
lished statement OF Talmage was sustained.
Talmage knew these statements were false.
The specification in regard to the ssigning
OF peWs and the announcement OF Ialmage
that they were assigned without reference to
the question of dollars was also, he con-
tended, sustained by the evidence of Thomas
Pearsall, prominent lawyer, and Rev. Mr..
Hathaway. They had diagram with the
prices OF the pews annexed.
