@. Did you ever use the 'intended deceit" in
such connecticut A. No sir.
q. Then these terms are an invention OF a lates
dateg A. SO fag as know.
CONTINUAL DROPPING.
The witness was growing uncomfortable in the
midst OF such a shower or questions. The counse.
for the prosecution tried To interfere for his relief
Spear would say ..AIr. Moderator We know just
what we're doing. and viii convince everybody OF
that fact before get through with this Witness
Mr.. bennington became slower and more indistinct
in each successive answer. Dr. Spear. having
reached certain point OF the examination. was re-
heved by his associate.
DIR. Millard began by asking the witness why he
had come 200 miles at his own expense to testify at
the trial. AIR. Remington said IL was in the fulfil
ment OF his duty, AS he thought.
Q. Then you thought it your duty to come on to
Brooklyn and help put down DR.. Tanlage? A. did
not regard il in any such light.
Q. Do you know that Dr. Talmage made any false

retained as editor after you had disposed of your in

to lose the position lie occupied within three daysr
A. did not.
Q. Had not Dr. Talmage under his contract with

told DR.. Talmage that the paper was sold and that
he had been sold With it. would he have been to
blame for cosing his contract with the Adrance at
once and publishing his vaedictory in the Csristian
Ut Work. A. Perhaps not.
q. Would he not have been justified in running
those presses all night 10 have shown his friends
what had become OF him. and to prevent inn
preston that he had been left out? A. He might
have postponed his valcdctory until the next num-
ber.
@. How do you know that he might? Would you
have been able to insure him that opportunity? A.
No, sir.

LAUnEIs Pon THE DEFENCE.
BY the time the examination had reached this point
there was not unheading unwatchful
eye in the entire audience The tactics of the de-
fence began to show themselves. Mr.. Tamuge's
good humor appeared to increase with every minute
and he constantly exchanged knowing looks with his
wife and near friends. Once or twice he tried to-
catch the eve or the witness but rhe latter
rigidly i'll his chair, his face seldom turning
from his interlocutor. His manner and the weak
ness OF his replies were in singular contrast to the
commanding and figure OF Dr. Millard. 1t tho
first really hard service that he had seen. and he
conducted the examination in a way to excite the
plaudis of District Attorney Tenney and other law
yers present. The Tabernacle people aglow
with the excitement OF the hour and the assured
failure Of the second witness, and first important
one produced by the prosecution Having wrung
from Mr. Remington an admission that DR.. TalInage
possibly justified in his upon leaving tho
Christ,aa at Work, DR.. Millard continued:-
snow were you justified in the light of your
tract with Dr. Tamage i'll negotiating the sale of that
paper without his consent notification p
The witness remained silent. DR.. Tal,nage swung
around to neighboring friend and whispcred:--
..wherc are now ?' Witness asked for a repeti-
ton Of the question. and then offered qualified
answer. DIR. Millard insisted direct reply, and
the witness said Perhaps was not"
OWNER, NOT EDITOR.
O. Did you control and supervise the editorial col-
unins OF tho paper? A. No, sir.
A. Yes sir.
@. Then. By what right did you order out the val-
edctory which he had ordered in and another
announcing tho succession Of DR.. Taylor? A. think
had the right to do
=. Was Dr. Talmagc employed a a subordnatea
A. Not that exactly. but he published matter with
my sanction.
Q. Then if nothing published without your
sanction you must have sanctioned the valedctory
which he inserted? A. could not sanction that
Dr. Millard read the editorial article which had
been put in the place OF DR.. ulmages valedictory
a later edition of the Chrislan at Work for October
H. 1876. 1t said that the change at the head OF the
editorial column explained itselt-Dr. Talmage had
retired and DR.. Taylor had succeeded him. copious
Use or the paper was dwelt upon in sparkling rhet-
oric. The last OF the figures employed was. "with-
out robbing the harlequin OF his mask"
.. Was that last sentence aimed at Dr.. Talmagef
A. It may have been.
Q. Did DR.. Tamage's vaedictory contain anything
injurious to the paper or its owners? A. think not.
Some members of the Presbytery complained that
the witness answers were inaudiblo. DIR. Crosby
suggested that some person should sit beside him
and repeat his answers, they might be heard.
''Oh! Never mind that" said DR.. Millard. "Mr.
Remington has voice enough, If he will only bring il
out"
GOING INTO DETAILS
A series of questions followed in relation to the
discharge of Mr.. Corwin from the position OF pub
Usher. Counsel showed that witness had
found tho publisher incompetent in less than
quito new to him, and then he produced
letters written by the witness which spoke in
high terms Of Mr.. Corwins management for'the first
two or three months. Coming back to question
which had not been answered to his satisfaction Dr
Millard inquired:
Ibid you not violate contract by ordering out
an editorial which Dr. Talmaye put in while he was
editor -in-chicf r.
DIR. Millard-That puts the boot on the right leg.
After reading from an opon letter signed by tina
witness aud others as to the manner in which the
advertisement of the Adrcace was inserted in the
columns of the Crsstida az Work DR.. Millard said:-
q. Did you not accuse minister of the gospel oe
surreptitously putting an advertisement in your
paper without having made inquiry satisfy your
self that the advertisement didnot come through the
regular channeis A. after long delay)-It was
The dthcuity o hearing the answers of the witness
had gradually increased ana it again suggested
that some one should repeat the answers. DIR. Mil.
lard attempted it, but found it no easy thing to do
while formulating new inquiries. Then DIR. Crosby
consented to render his services as trumpeter, but
became entangled in repeating the first reply made
by the witness that he too gave up. amid much
laughter on the part OF the audience aud confusion
on the part OF the witness. The stenograper after
that read aloud from his notes both questions and
answers.
Witness asked if he thought DIR. Talmago edited
their paper ably. He said he thought not. and
promptly asked to explain circular 20 which his
name attached and to which the spirited
editorials, &c. of DR.. Talnage were loudly praised.
The hour for adjournment being at hand. and
DR.. Millard said he should require much more time
for the crossexamination. it was adjourned until to-
day
Clerk Greene asked to read the following letter
from the defaulting witnesses who served with
second citations by the Presbytery:-
