Frank Moss. Assistant District Attor-
ney. who assisted in the prosecution OF

Gaynors comment on the case. IL was
taken TO be I'm the nature Of reply to
the Mayor
Mr.. Moss reviews the case Of the prose-
cution, and refers to the aibi attempted
by HYDE which was rejected by the Jury.
The form Of the recent decision by the
Appellate Division reversing the judg-
mcnt. Mr.. Moss says. enables the District
Attorney to take the case to the Court Of
Appeals. AS to Robin and his status Mr..
Moss SAYS:
There are decisions which hold in sub
stance and in effect that for the purpose
of this law bride giver is not an ac-
complete Of a bride taker. and that rule
has been carried out in number of other
crimes The District Attorney is OF the
opinion that the rule requiring corrobora-
ton can be invoked only when the indi-
vidual giving the testimony would be con-
victcd Of the same crime as the one con-
corning which he testifes; If he might
be convicted OF some otner crime Their the
rule OF law does not apply.
There are two very important legal
questions here They arc: Whether such
an act as testified by Robin is bribery
and whether the bribe giver is technically
an accomplish Of the bribe takcr. so that
other evidence must be presented. tending
To connect the defendant with the COM
mission Of the crime.
we did not understand that Justice
Goff believed the defendant 10 be guilt

Of his mcrclful discretion he himself
granted the certificate Of reasonable
doubt and did not refer the defendant 10

MAYORS statement OF Thursday compares:
THAT one Oudgel was found after much
difficulty And when he got through con
vlcting the defendant he cooly said mat
he was IN grave doubt whether there was
any offence stated or shown Then ne
inst as coolly locked the defendant up IN

Calvary and Fifth Avenue
Abandon Deal After
Year Work.

The announcement made yesterday that
after a years negotiations between the
Calvary and Fifth Avenue Baptist
churches il had been definitely settled
that il would BE- better for both conEre-
cations not to unite. came as a surprise
to many who had understood that the
consolidation had been practically ar
ranged. The decision was a disappont-
mont TO some members of the joint com
mittee, composed Of the trustees and dea-
cons Of the two churches. \ member of
the committee from the Calvary Church
said:
1T is a thousand pties the consoiida-
ton did not 20 through. The negotia-
tons were progressing hopefully and
promised a harmonious settlement. when
long delay permitted the minority OPP
position in both churches TO become some
what formidable. There is no doubt that
large majority OF the members of both
CONGREGATIONS favored the consolidation.
In view. however. of the minority oppo-
siton. the officers OF both churches were
led TO believe that a united body would
not be harmonious II is more difficult
to consolidate two churches than II is to

Education is 10 be the watchword OF
Christian people of New York next au-
tumn. This week plans along four lines
of education have been perfected, centres
of work selected for some OF them and
committees selected to work during the
summer to prepare things in readiness
for aggressive instruction I'm September
Some seasons have evangelism as the
theme, others missions. This coming sea-
son will be education.
The four subjects to be pushed are
eugenics, unity social problems and their
solution and the training of volunteer
laymen. BY far the largest measure Of
attention will be given to eugenics Just
now popular interest is keen. The West
End Presbyterian Church. Grace Metho-
dist Church. Plymouth Congregational
Church, Brooklyn. and the Conference of
Liberal Ministers. with headquarters at
the Unitarian Church Of the Messiah, are
among the centres for eugenic study.
Unity is to be led by the Episcopal
committees, but with its members are
joined Congregational. Disciples and Pres
byterian churches. The Lutheran. Bap-
fist and Methodist churches show less in
clination to come in. At the recent Bap-
list national meetings no mention OF unity
was made Literature is now preparing
committee has gone TO England, and In
the autumn unity reasons will be pre-
sented in many churches. The leaders
hold that until the people are better IN
formed any idea OF holding a successful
world conference Is futile.
Social and labor problems arc 20 be
given new educational prominence at up
ward Of twenty forums, some In exist
ence and others to be started The leader
Of all will be the Church Of the Ascen-
sion. the Rev. DR.. Percy 5. Grant, rector
where new plans have just been formu-
lated. IL is there held that all that has
gone on thus far has done no more than
lay out the field This fall aggressive
educational work will he pushed Plans
have been tested. Some few side issues
will be dropped, and the main issue fol-
lowed New men are to come In.
There have lately come into existence
in most Protestant bodies societies which
train Christian laymen and then supply
them 10 churches I'm all boroughs OF the
city in Westchestcr County and even
New Jersey. to superintcnd Sunday
schools. head work for boys, conduct
Bible classes and act as charmen or
social service committees in congrega-
tons In modest way instruction has
been given 10 a limited number OF men,
and they have been sent out 10 work. The
success Of the plan is demonstrated
beyond question Steps have Just been
taken 10 enlarge a laymens training
school and 20 increase the number OF
men 10 he furnished.
These men are lawyers and hank clerks
and they give their Sundays and week
nights without salaries Many men Of
fer. and the need is for training and d.
rectlon. The latter IS 10 be supplied this
coming autumn Episcopal, Presbyterian
and Lutheran bodies arc leading In IT.
and together they make New YORK lead
