PUNISHMENT OF HERErICs.
The Nest Extraordinary TRiaI IN
Which the Archbishop Ever
Took Part.

Cranmer, in the "Reformatio LeRum
Ecclesiasticarum." prescribes that the
heretic. il obstinate, after a respite of
i6 days. is to be delivered to the ciyi!
magistrate. "puniendus." This prob
ably means "by DEATH" Thus Joan
Bocher and Van Paris were burned
alive in 1880 and 1851 with his approval.
says the NinetSB q 18th Century. But per-
haps the most extraordinary trial for
heresy IN which the archbishop ever
took part was in November. 1899. under
aenry's celebrated act Of six articles,
when, with six of hissuffragans. among
whom were Gardiner. Tunstall. Stokes
ley and Sampson. he presided at q SOL
emn disputation in which the king
himself entered the lists against q
wretched schoolmaster, named Lam
bert Tor Sicholson). who had denied
the doctrine of the real presence. The
poor hereto showed, ii is said, little
ability, but great terror when con-
froDted with his opponent.
After five hours of argument, in
which "it was wonderful how benign
~ his grace essayed 70 convert the
miserable man. how strong and man
ifest reasons his highness alleged
against h;m"-such is Cromwell's tes-
timony-the king brought the trial to
a practical issue. "What sayest thou
now" he asked the prisoner, "after the
instructions OF the learned men? Art
thou satisfied? Wilt thou live or die 81
The man replied that he threw him
self on the mercy of his majesty.
Then" said the king, thou must die,
for L will not be the patron Of here

INTENDED TO SHOOT HIM.
John Lewis, the COlored Man Shot Mon
day, Says That the Shooting Was Not an
Accident Woman in the Case

The shooting scrape of Monday,
Of John Lewis, cOlored, has taken a
decidedly new turn, as Lewis denies
positively that the shooting took place
accidentally, as told by James Pear
sail, the colored man in whose hands
the gun was when fired with such
serious effect.
Messenger readers are Thoroughly IA
miliar with the tale told by Pearsall
to a representative and others at the
time OF the shooting.
Yesterday Lewis, who is at the nos
Eital, was much better and talked free
ly about the affair. To. DR.. r. &. Zachary
the clever young medico in charge of
the hospital, and others, he stated that
the shooting was not an accident, and
rave the following version of the af-
fair:
He stated that Lewis is a married
man, and Monday afternoon he and
Lewis We're standing talking at the
locality in Brooklyn where the shoot
ing occurred, and that a woman
LeWis' wife, which, however, he did
not know at that time) came by, and
as he knew her and had often been in
her company, he said: Come to
me" Pearsall then told him thai
the woman was his wife and shot Kim

or P~earsalTs statement cannO be as
