The Charge Against Hill.

New York, april ls.-The hearing Of
Frank ". Hill, Harnman's former ste.
nogrspher, who sold Hsrrimsn's letter
to Sydney Webster,i 10 which the railway
magnato told Of raising money for Prosi-
dent Roosevelt's election, was resumed
today In the Tombs police court. The
hearing was in the private examination
room. Hill, who has confessed TO sell
ing the letter which created the Tecsnt
political excitement and called from the
White House the declaration that So
900, 900 fund to defeat President Roose-
vel;'s policies is being raised by his
enemies, was represented at the hearing
by former Magistrate Ommen. Assis-
tant District Attorney Krotel represented
the State and two Of Hartmann lawyers
we're on hand TO Assist him.
Hartman was on the sand only about
half an hour but in that time had warm
words with HilPs attorney and refused
almost point black to snsgeF the lawyer 8
questions. When told by the court he
could only refuse on the ground that 1t
might tend to ineriminaie or degrade
him, be sharply replied it would do
neither, hut he did not propoFe to answer.
Assistant District Attorney KrOtel, who
conducted the examination :or the State,
came to Harrimsn's rescue with an Oh
lection which the magistrate sustained.
Hartman identified the original OF the
letter and denied that he bad given Hill
authority to dispose OF the original
notes. The lnADcier said he had die
tated the letter to BernaFe Miller on
January 20, 1906, at the Union Pacific
Offices. This ended the direct exsDi-
nation. hartman refused 10 answer
certain questions in the cross-examina-
ton especially as to whom he read the
letter sfer 1t had been prepared. The
objections we're sustained.

SATURDAY EVENING. APEm is. 1907.

All PEOPLE with proper ideas will
heartily commend Bishop Groer's de-
cislon in the case Of the "alummlng'
curate whom, as stated yestordaS, be has
;uss deposed from the ministry Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. The evil
,lcpce that opinion among New York
clergymen is unanimous In approving
the Bishops action indicates healthy
mindedness which IN some former In
stsnceg has seemed to be imperilled by
the questionable fascination Of "sociOlog-
icsl" Summing. The Tribune says:
Although details OF the evidence upon
which Bishop Greer based his decisiOu
have not been made public, the real IT,
sue is clear without them. At Bottom

ment and sensational reyelations9 With
ihese motives as alternatives BIO could

torrance, tsclless adventure hunting OF
10Th. II Is impossible to believe that
# New York clergyman, unless immod-
erately stupid, could expect to make
even the MOST trivial sociological dis
covery by pursuing the methods which
Mr. Mears pursued. In a city where
settlement and slum work has been vile
ly organized and Its efficiently admins
tered a minister lacking tho intelligence
10 employ the only adequate .means Of
inspecting the submerged world surely
lacks the intelligence to conduct q
church. Aud If, on the other hand, he
enters disorderly bouses for the mere
sake Of adventure he lacks the dignity
and judgment thst every minister ought
to have. Bishop Greer's decision ia
sound and will be sslu,ary.

rmG THAw TRIAL, which had been
ia progress nearly three months, has re-
suited, IS many had predicted, in a mis-
trial. The pathetic story OF Evelyn
Thaw, dementia Americana, brainatorm
and paranoia failed to appsSl to q ma
jorlty Of the jurymen, who looked upon
tho Killing of Stanford White by the
prisoner as rremedltated murder.
Five, however, looked through other
lansss. hence q deadlock occurred, and
thors being no likelihood Of 1t being
broken, the jury reported its inability to
bisg IN q verdict. This means another
srlal sad the threading over OF al the
disgusting facts aud allegations which
have polluted not only the precincts Of
tho court building but which have vir'
sgally permoatod every civilized cline.
The killing OF White aud the tSial OF
the young man who Slew him hes doubt
less attracted more worldwide attention
than any similar murder that has ever
occurred. The reports Of tho trial have
been read with avidity By millions, aud
they are believed to have contributed
greatly to the debauehiDg Of many
minds, especially those of tho young.
The recspItulalion Of the evidence in all
IS gmcsouc details is to be deplored.
