IN COURT TO-DAY
Work Ceiling Jurors To Try Actor Hitchcock - Ac'0r Sick
 of Bis Confinement.

New York, June S.-After three days in a cell in the Tombs prison, Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, appeared in the criminal branch of the supreme court to-day prepared for the resumption of his trial on indict- ments growing out of charges pre- ferred by several young girls. As Hitchcock has been tried before in an indictment involving the same charges and allegations in the case have been given considerable public ity it was believed that some difficulty would be experienced in getting d jury. There was only one juryman in the box when the trial was resum- ed before Justice Golf to-day.
 Hitchcock does not take kindly to his incarceration in the Tombs and his appearance in court to-day was proof of this.
 It's an awful place." he declared. fI don't know how I am going to stand 1t if this trial drags along for any length of time"

HENDERSON'S LETTER.
Considerable Criticism Heard After a r-. Reading of It.


 John Henderson's communication, published in all the papers, is the most remarkable document of the kind ever put before the public by. local man. It is true that some of the ministers have been beating around the bush the past few years, but 1t remained for Mir Henderson to come out fatfooted and proclaim that in his judgment the way of the Con gregationalist is not the surest road to reach the end which all Christians have in mind. The letter was made the subject of much comment yester- day and to-day. and while some showed a disposition to treat it light ly others regarded it the honest out boring of a man who had become con vinced that he has been travelling in the wrong direction and made up his mind not to move a foot farther until he knows where he Is at.
 The sharpest criticism heard on MT Henderson's position was that while he went long ways towards showing the weak points of the church with which he has been so long associated. he left the subject without pointing out the remedy. Whether this was because he felt that the men in charge of the Third Con- gregational church would not make move in the right direction if they knew how, or because he preferred to let them keep right on until they reach the end of their tethr and tum- bl into the abyss, it would be hard to tell with the light at hand. bu in any case 1t Is no libel to say that Mir Hen derson gave the church and those who are prominent in 1t a hard blow.
