REV. Mr.. WILLIAMS CASE
Trial Of the Charges Before an Ecclesissti-
cal Court.
Statement Made by the Father of the
Young Woman Who Brings
the Accusation.

The trial Of Rev. Gilbert F. Williams
former pastor Of Christ Church, Navy
Yard, before the ecclesiastical court, on the
charge Of immoral conduct with a member
OF his congregation, continued this morn
ing at st. Marks Pro-Cathedral Church,
Sd and streets southeast.
The session began this morning at 10
o'clock. with all the members of the court
In attendance. Rev. A. r. Stuart of Christ
church, Georgetown, presided at this morn
ing's session, which lasted until o'clock.
and then adjourned for an hour, in order
to allow the members to take lunch.
Little was done yesterday but to fully
organize the court. The form of sub
poena for the witnesses was decided up
on, and they were sent out. 1t was stated
that there are about fifty witnesses on
each side, among whom, a Star reporter
was informed, will be Bishop Satterlee
himself.
Rev Mr.. Williams was present this morn
ing at the proceedings, was his wife.
She is firmly convinced Of his innocence
and has so asserted herself since the case
was first brought to the public notice. The
accused minister appeared as If he had I'M
strain, and seemed as If he felt his position
keenly.
Review of the Case.
This morning Mr.. L. A. Wilmer of Port
Tobacco, who was selected by Bishop Sat
terlee as church advocate to do the pros
ecuting, began a review of the case. He
presented in a strong light the evidence
which existed SO far in the case, and made
a plea for conviction. A number Of wit
nesses were examined, 1t was stated, and
Miss Denham. the accuser, was present
with he- father to make her statement be-
fore the court.
The young girl was firm as to the guilt
of her former pastor and spiritual adviser.
Under the church canon, applied 10 this
special case, 1t will be necessary for the
plaintiff to bring strong evidence by other
witnesses to prove the truth of her state
ment.
1t was alleged that Miss Denham had
provided for this.
There has not been a similar case to this
in the Maryland diocese, it was stated to
the reporter this morning, for over fifty
years. The last was IN 1S47
The trial was still in session when this
report closed. 1t was stated several days
will probably be taken in which to finish
the proceedings.

Secretary Gage to Ascertain Fttues,
of Steamboat Inspection EMPLOYEES.

OF Steamboat Inspection Employees.
Secretary Gage has written a letter TO
the civil service commission, asking that IL
test by examination the fitness of a num-
Ter of employees in the steamboat inspec-
ton service who were not admitted through
CIVIL service examination or under a spe-
cial examination. The persons the Secre-
tary wants examined are inspectors AMI
assistant inspectors of hulls and inspectors
and assistant inspectors of boilers. There
are sixty-eight of these places.
The Secretary says that these positions
are of Importance and require men of abil-
ity to fill them. An examination by the
commission, the Secretary says, is TO the
interest of the travelling public and COM
merce He says that persons may have
served faithfully as engineers, boiler maxi
ers, masters, master ship builders and
pilots and still not have the requisite TECH
meal knowledge to comprehend the boilers
and hulls of modern construction. The de-
partment wants capable and experienced
men in matter of SO much interest the
Secretary says.
