In the Call IT the Oath instant we find
some extracts from the pamphlet which led
to the killing of Charles De Young. On
the title page, says the Call, is printed the
following:
"Only full report of the trial of Rev. 1. S.
Kalloch, on charge Of adultery-A full
history of the affair--Doings of the church
-Kalloch's pulpit experience-Arrest-
Arraignment, trial and result, with accu-

The following is the introduction to the
volume:
History of the KalIoeh Affair.
ONLY ILLUSTRATED EDITION.
In the present work it is not our purpose
to comment upon the enormity Of the
offense charged against Rev. l. s. Kalloch,
to censure in terms of scathing rebuke, or
to attempt to palliate the offence. The
reports Of the affair, v~ariously colored,
have been given to the public; but so in
termingled with rumors SO distorted and
exaggerated, that they cannot be regarded
as wholly reliable, and we regret to say
that, as painful as have been the disclo-
sures already published, the whole story is
not yet told; and ours shall be the task Of
furnishing the public with a full and i'm
partial report of the whole affair. In
doing this, we shall neither be intimidated
by the dictatorial spirit of those who have
sought to manufacture a public opinion by
which to shield the guilty from the conse-
quences of guilt. nor shall we allow the
remembrance of pleasant social and pas
toral relations of the accused with us to
prevent a fair, full and unbiased EXPOSE
ton. We attempt the task, aware that it is
an undertaking which requires careful dis
elimination between truth and error, and
a steady purpose to present an impartial
report, that its tendency and result may be
for the welfare and interests of the COM
munity, without trespassing upon any
rights Of individuals.
1t is ever a painful task to record, IN a
public print, the departure from the path
of rectitude of one who has formed a con-
nection with a church; entered into a holy
covenant, and who, by q voluntary act,
assumes the garb of a chuch member, and
to whom the worlds people, look as a
living exempliGcation of Christian truth.
and the efficacy of religious faith; so Gag
erly are such departures seized upon and
noted by those of lesser p~retensions, that
reproach is brought upon the church, and
the cause of virtue and piety suffers.
But when we are called upon to record the
commission of a heinous crime by one who
occupies the high and most responsible re-
lations of a pastor, how does the heart
ache and rebel against an expose OF the
facts, and seek to cover the guilt with the
cloak of charity, rejecting that even a
pastor is only a man, subject to the same
impulses, the same passions as his people,
and that even shepherds while watching
their fiocks may engage in ~alluring pas
times, and the weak ones of their charge
become their dangerous and insidious
enemy.
Rev. Isaac S.. Kalloch, formerly from
Rockland, Maine, a man about twenty-five
years of age, has for some time past been
the settled pastor Of the religious society
which owns and worships at the fremont
Temple, Boston. Heis kind-hearted, and,
in his domestic relations, might have en-
joyed a paradise of pleasant experiences
had not this charge of melancholy democrat
ization occurred. He is somewhat above
the medium height, finely developed form,
very prepossessing IN appearance, and with
genius and power of eloquence and oratory
which gave him fame wherever he was
known. To these brilliant gifts and ac-
QUESTIONS we add a refined and elevated
imagination, collegiate education, and a
free and pleasant conversational habit, we
but do Justice to Rev. l. s. Kalloch. What
ever may have been his antecedents in
Rockland, he was revered, esteemed, be-

the community generally as a most upright
clergyman, an orator of great promise, a
scholar of eminent attainments, and a use
full citizen. 1t may be the subject of COM
ment by others. but not by us, that Rev.
Mr.. Kalloch, during the last Presidential
campaign frequently addressed political
bodies upon political themes, making for
himself many warm and Jealous friends,
and many bitter opponents and enemies.
Mr.. Kalloch is a warm-hearted, genial, inn
pulsive, and, we may say, vain man, and,
by his fine appearance on the rostrum, his
gracefulness, faultless articulation, rich,
musical voice, and rhetorical display, soon
found warm and hearty supporters and ad-
mirers, and more especially among the
ladies. His ministrations in the Pulpit
were attended by religious r~evivals and in
creasing interest; in the political desk he
won popularity; in the d~rawing-room he
won the admiration Of his lady Pensioners,
and, in the lecture-room. by his happy
combination of talents and requirements,
he won the favor of all; and frequently re-
ceived invitations to address lyceums and
other literary associations, and wherever
he appeared, he discharged the Office of lee
turer with the same signal ability. Among
the invitations was one to lecture before the
Lyceum in East Cambridge, which is COM
posed of the best citizens in the place. Mr..
Kalloch accepted the invitation to lecture
before this Lyceum on the 9Th of January
last.
On this eventful evening he reached the
'sCragie' House, formerly the Lechmere,
now kept by Messrs. Baily Il Griffin. Mr..
Kalloch was accompanied by a young lady
of highly prepossessing appearance, taste
fully attired in black. 1t is stated by the
proprietors that he requested them to pre-
pare for himself and wife a room, and
ordered a fire to be made in it. In the
meantime, the pair-the clergyman and the
lady in ~black-seated themselves in the
parlor. Their conversation was not of that
nature which should be made public, al
though it was overheard accidentally.
Suspicious were aroused. Thecouple re-
tired to their room. A gentlemanly Com
mittee man called and invited the reverend
gentleman to visit mis- house with his lady,
and take tea. He was told by Mr.. kalloch
that he was busy, overlooking his lecture,
and should be Obliged to decline. The
time for the lecture approached, was reach
ed, passed, and n n Y a few
minutes behind time, the Rev, Mr.. Kalloch
assembled the pulpit in the Unitarian church
in East Cambridge, to lecture upon "Heroes
and Heroism." The lady in black was
seated in a pew near the pulpit. The lee
ture was eloquent and to the point. Con-
cluded, the lady in black returned alone in
a carriage to the Cragie House, and straight
way went to the room formerly occupied.
Soon the Rev. Mr.. Kailoch reached the hotel
on foot. having, in the meantime, received
the SIS for his lecture.
