Dr. Fancner, on venalf of the prosecutton, then offered to wilhdraw his previous objections to tho testhnony of Dr. Lanahan im relation to his recep. tlonin the Concern im 1863 aud his retations to the senior agent ever since. He did this because he learned from the discussion of Wednesday evening that certain members of the commitice would like to hear tho whoie story {rom ihe beginning, and as it had been ruled out at tire time upon his objection, bat he was now ready to open the door and let it all in. The deferce objected, unless @ new caso was made or sufficient time wus allowed to enable them to suumon Witnesses and prepare for the trial, or uf the committee would adjouru for thirty--1x hours they might be ready, The Chair ruled that this testimony could mot now ve mtroduced unless the defence required it, Mr. Buckley was then called to give the names of Dr, Lanahan’s accountants and to rebut some testl- mony of the prosecution, of minor importance, on the application for the bouks and the report of the accountant aad the reiation of Dr. Lanahan’s appli- cation to the Goodenough suit, He had made an eXaminntion of the books himself, and as far gs he could io individaais circulated te results; but hi repelled the idea that ne had . ANY HOSTILITY LO THE BOOK OONCERN. He belleved that any well-kept set of books would explain themseives, without verbal explanations. Hc knew that diferent methods of bookkeeping pre- vatied ia diflereus establishments, and that a desigu- ing person could make the buoks of any house ap- pear irregwar uuiess such books were kept right the huudie, Alter very much more up to Immaterial testimony by this witness ne was succeeded by Dr. Lanahan, who rebutted Dr. Cariton’s testimony In regard to con- yersations between wie agents, 1 witch Carl- ton usserted that ne (Lauahaa) uid not care forthe Book Commitice, witch Lue witness fatiy dead; neittier did he say thut himsell and br. Carlton were vhe General Cuuferenco, nor did be carry voucners 11 his pucket save on one or two occa sions, when ie took them to & paper dealer's to compare thet’ statements with nis books, The Doc- tor also aemied some other asseruons of Dr. Carl- ton, when AM '. Scriver, the assistant cashter, was called to reassert and subsianilaie Dr. Carlton's state ment tuat br. Lanilan had said he DID NOY CAKE FOR THE COMMITTEE. Objection haying been raised to the question, & Gebate arose between colusel, When We Cnair de- cited thay there Was noting improper in mbro- ducing tus witness and asking him the question; but Mr. Soriver could not positively say tnat he heard any sact expression used by Dr. Lanahan. ‘this closed the rebutung tesiimony, and the com- mittee Look a recess, Upon reassembling Mr, Buckley began the sum- Ming up for the delence. He Went over the facts of the testimony elicited, and then said that many per sons regard Dr. Lananao as @ desperate, vengefal mad, aud an enemy to jue Church, aud they would like to see him removed. ‘They forget his past career and iis Felauiona to ths Churca during thirty or forty Years, and what he has sudered for the Chureh and the country. Newspaper editors who have vill- fied him woud algo be giad to see him re- moved, and the senior agent would like to fee lui put out of tue way, so thatif the facts charged by John Lanahan are true, when the cuse comes betore the General Conference, as it must come, he shall not be able to prove them without the greatest diiticulty.

Inthe books which Wicy had exammed the defence bad discovered Artesian wells, and had sus- Fk where they howed to, aud thoy wanted the ouks asked Jor to verify the same, Counsel char- acterized the Christian Advocate in its alleged slaader of Dr. Lanauan as **a peripatetic moral pole- cat.” He went lato tne history of toc discipline to show the reiative positions aud responsibilities of the agents 1n the Voncern, and ciaimed ror his client @ pertectright lo examine tne books and a jusufica- tion of his application to the couris, “He also showed the powers of the comimittce in the case, and insisted that on the testimony suomitted here they had no just ground for Dr. Lanaban’s deposal, especiaily since they had ruled ous testimony which the defence considered very material to their case, and which tucy deemed the committea and tie bishops had a rgnt to lear to enavle taem to arrive at a just end proper verdict in the case. After 4hree and #4! urier hours’ talking Mr. Buckiey closed his speech. duage Fancher, at twenty minutes past four P. M., responded tor the prosecution. He said he would coniine himscli to tne gravity of the case and the propricty of the occasion, wi hout going to A CALIFORNIA LEDROOM for an t!iustration, as the couusel for the other side had done. Toecomimitice could not close their eyes: to the interests of tis Concera and to the injury Which the assistant agent has done and 1s doing, to its credit, through the public press. ‘There never was a case like it in tue history oi the Methodist Church, nor of any other Churct, Wherein an oficial appointed to pro- tect the interests and credit and good name of an establishment has turned roand and done all he could to destroy the same and then come before nis employers and atiempt te justify his acts, The animus and intent of this reiterauon of slander by the as- sisiaut agent is too apparcat to be iwstaken, and counsel did not think required arguinent to show.
