T. A. r. Wilson, who came all the way
from California for the purpose OF de-
Tending his former associates. DR.. Wilson
is an eloquent talker and his address 10
to the jury was a strong one.
II took the defense but a short time 20
complete its case yesterday and counsel
for the accused minister seem to be con-
fident that the outlook is favorable TO
their client. The defense opened yester-
day afternoon.
William W. Knowles. who was counsel
for Dr. Corkran. in the recent case be-
fore the Superior Court, which was
brought by zell and Merceret, brokers
of Baltimore. to recover about 5000, al
legged to be due them by the preacher on

witness called by the defense. The other
testimony for the defendant was the
same as given at the original trial last
June and was presented in typewriter
form.
NOTHING ILLEGAL SAYS KNOWLES.
Mr.. Knowles evidence was to the ef-
feet that there was nothing illegal in con-
nection with DR.. Corkrans dealings with
Zell and Merceret.
The defense also produced a stenog-
raphic report of the case before the su-
perior Court some parts Of which were
admitted in evidence.

voted to the reading of letters in conneo-
tion with the stock dealing transactions

! witnesses called.
Many inquiries have been made as tS
whether or not the conference will re

will be made among the ministers sta
toned in this city. One change that Is
sure TO be made is at Harrison Street

that church has asked TO be transferred.
The trustees are making an effort to
get either the Rev. L. c. Mcnichol or the
Rev. L. e. Barrett to succeed Mr.. Easley.

tinue as a supply at Asbury Church If
the conference officials agree. Dr. Poul-

said they desired me to continue as a sup
ply and ! am willing TO return under
these conditions" II does not want TO
be transferred from the New York Con-
ference.
