THE CORWINITES SQUEAL.
Attempting to Create a COnfa-
sionin the Case.
THEY SEEK TO HIDE THE ISSUE.
COrwin's Spokesman Refuses to
Take a Letter From the
Board.

A few of DR.. Corwin's clacquers
are going around attacking The
JOURNAL. That does not alter any
of the facts. 1t is the facts as print
ed by The JOURNAL that hurt.
The JOURNAL is not in the case.
Those who are participants with
DR.. Corwin can easily share his
glory by attacking the facts. What
THE JOURNAL printed Thursday
was based OF the official report of
the committee and the action of the
church thereon. If THE JOURNAL
felt inclined to persecute Mr.. Cor
win it could present an array of
statements made upon good author
ity, by the best and most reliable
members of his church, which
would result in making it anything
but agreeable for him and his
friends.
THE JOURNAL has no desire to
injure Mr.. Corwin's reputation if it
could, but desires to save the COM
munity from the terrible calamity
which he has brought upon it, in so
far as it is possible at this time. So
far as Mr., Talbot, chairman of the
meeting, is concerned, all concede
that he is simply tool of Corwin
in this matter. That he is merely
Mr.. Corwin's landlord and doing
his bidding is the general impress
sion. He is, to put it mildly, GER
tainly good man Friday.
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
were had in the case Thursday. The
board of trustees met and drew up
and offered Mr.. Corwin letter of
dismissal in accordance with the
terms of the accepted report OF the
committee on investigation. DR..
Corwin's representative on the
board, and its chairman, notidad
the board that DR.. Corwin would
not receive euch letter, but insisted
on the board issuing him clear
letter of recommendation. This the
trustees decided they could not do if
they wished, as the vote of the
church in adopting the report in
structs him to the contrary.
THAT UNFAIR TREATMENT.
So far as Mr.. Corwin's charge that
the committee had treated him un-
fairly, there is nothing more absurd.
A member said this morning that
Mr.. Corwin has had all his own
way. Those who investigated the
charges brought UP against HIM last
spring, and were then scored for it
refused to have anything
to do with these new charges of i'm
moral conduct. They left the mat
ter In the hands of Corwinites, or
people who had hitherto been such.
He had his own man for chairman
of the first meeting. His chairman
selected men and women to conduct
his investigation friendly to Corwin
to such an extent that there was a
great deal of comment. The public
was surprised at the severity of the
findings of that committee. 1t ex-
pected a whitewash and found
co ondemnation. Besides, Corwin
has done all the talking. He has
made speeches by the hour and his
few admirers have labored incessant-
ly in his behalf.
THE TALBOT CONSTRUCTION.
The statement Is made by Mr..
Corwin's friends, that the adoption
of this report means that he should
have a letter Of recommen dation.
This is based on a remark made by
Chairman Talbot, in putting the
question, as follows: "If you vote TO
adopt the report of the committee,
you vote DIR. Corwin clear letter Of
recommendation-t same kind OF
a letter as you would want If you
yourself were going 10 leave the
