pasadena, Oct. 3l.-Recorder Roa-
sitsr's court was crowded all day long
eoday, the attraction being the case Il
II. E. Howland VS.. G. s. Howard,
wherein Mr.. Howard was charged with
disturbing the peace OF a religious meet
ing CONDUCTED by the prosecuting wit
uess.
The trial was held before jury OF II,
W. 4. Arthur conducting the defense
and G. A. Gibbs the prosecution.
1t was lively affair throughout, and
although the testimony was not in until
after dark, the crowd in the lobby
eeemed to get larger all the time.
The frat witness introduced was Rev.
Rowland, and the ross.examination
Mr.. Arthur submitted him TO was ter
rife.
He testified that Mr.. Howard had
disturbed he meeting, which 1t ap-
peared from the testimony is sort OF
spiritualstic affair, with an admission
OF 10 cents charged at the door. Meet
ings are held every Sunday evening in
g. A. r. hall, and according to some OF
the 20 or 80 witnesses examined, are de-
cidedly lively at times.
The witr esses for the prosecution
were almost all ladies, converts OF
Rowland.
Five or six gentlemen present testified
that Rev. Howlsnd'a method OF con-
ducting his meetinge we're particularly
obnoxious, and that several ladies who
stood up OF the leaders, request were in.
suited. The language used, as testified
to by number of Witnesses. was posi-
lively unfit for publication.
Mrs. Palm OF San Francisco, the
former landlady of Rev. Howland, tes-
tilted that he had left the city in debt
and that che had advertised him in the
Honolulu papers when he went to that
place.
Rowland testified that Howard called
him fake and an imposter, and Mr..
Howard agreed that he did say 30 and
still thought such to be the case.
At the conclusion OF the evidence,
Mr.. Arthur asked that the jury be in
structed 20 bring in a verdict OF not

but stated he considered the prosecution
q farce.
The jury found the defendant not
guilty without leaving their seats.
