Juror James G. McAllister. He was
finally let out this afternoon on a chal-
lenge by the state which was not re-
sisted by the defense. Attorney Bar

when court was called to order.
"Mr. McAllister, II you were sworn

he was proved guilty"
Would you let the other Jurors per-
suade you II you had reasonable
doubt as to his guilt?"
"They would not persuade me,
III in your own mind you thought

prove him guilty what would you do?'

PRESBYTER!ANS
CHOOSE LOS ANGELES.

New York, May 26.-The Presbyter-
Ian general assembly at todays session
choose Los Angeles Cal, as the place
OF next meeting.
The general assembly acted adversely
on an overture from the presbytery OF
Los Angeles requesting that ministers
coming from the south Presbyterian
church be honorably retired with the
same privileges as If they had served
always with the church under the gem
eral assembly. The matter came be-
fore the assembly in a report from the
committee on ministerial alliances. The
Rev. W. S. Young d. D., pastor of
Emanuel Presbyterian church, Los An
geles advised that the assembly act
favorable on the overture. In the west,
he said. there were many ministers
who had come from the southern
branch and favorable action by the
assembly would bring the two churches
together.
The Rev. Dr. Thomas Parry, of
Williamsburg, Pa, chairman of the com
mlttee. took an opposite yiew lie SAID
II would open the door for ministers
of other denominations to come to the
PRESBYTERIAN church and claim the
same privileges as the ministers VINO
had served the general assembly all
their lives. The Rev. DR.. Benz. l.. An
grew OF Philadelphia, corresponding
secretary Of the board OF ministerial
relief. spoke In the same vein. He SAID
the result OF granting the demand or
the presbytery of Los Angeles would be
that many OF the retired ministers VINO
had always been with the Northern
PRESBYTERIAN church, would have their
already scant allowances cut down.
when the civil war was closed ne

vote for the union Of the two cnurehes'
But / am utterly opposed to holding
out any money consideration TO bfihg
them over. They will have the same
privileges as our members II they come

The Rev. Or. James d. Mcllvain, OF

If the overture did not receive faVor-
able action,

sembly. and should have II next year.
The Rev. DR.. Richard 5. Holmes,
pointed out that there was great dii-
ference between the mileage for Cleye-
land and Los Angeles.
