The Vourt of yer and Terminer of Kings county was called to order, Judge Tappen and Associate Justices Voorhees aud Jonnson presiding, at a quarter-past ten o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Merngan, in company with her motner, occupied aseat by the side of ner counsel, Messrs, Tracy and Keaay, attired in a suit of black and looking pale and careworn. She is said to have been suo- Ject to attacks of melancholy and crying of late, and it 18 noticeable that while at intervals she exhibits intense interest in the proceedings in court, ehe invariably relapses into listlessness, The proceedings commenced by calling the names drawn in the new panel of seventy-five Jurors ordered yesterday to complete the jury. The examination of jurors on both sides was very rigid. Oojection to capita: punishment on prin- ciple and conscience, and more parttc- uwarly in @ cage where @ woman is the defendant, was the chief cause of disqualt fication of those who were compelled to stand aside. James A. Rogers, an intelligent, middie- aged gentleman, said, in anewer to questions as to his qualifications to serve, “I have most decidea conscientious scruples. From the time that I first remember reading the Bible [ decided that capital punishment was wreng.” District Attorney Wins- low and Mr, Levi Faron appeared for the people. ‘The attendance of spectators, lawyers, physicians, witnesses and idle young and old men was much larger than upon the preceding day, the court room being at times crowded in every part, THE JURY.

A friendship is supposed to have sprung up betwecn them. In the course of life their social positions changed. The de- fondant married James Merrigan, a poor man, and they resided in asmail house, No. 199 Ninth street, Williamsburg, on the second Moor. Under- neath this floor, on the Grst story, Mrs. Sarah Kipp lived with her daughter and a boarder named Coe. They proposed to snow that it was the cus- tom of Miss Hammill to collect her rents on the first of each month, and that the [riendsbip of the prisoner gave wuy to her cupidity and avarice, Gnd thatit was upon the occasiin of Miss Ham- mull’s Visit, on iuesday, September 2, that she took the live of ner iriend to gain possession of her property.

Yeaterday afternoon Mr. Friedman, of the orm of Friedman & Webster, No, 68 Duane street, sab- mitted an affidavit to Mr, Emil Beneville, Mayor | Havemeyer’s private secretary, charging John A. Weth, @ city marenal, with gross misconduct, From + davit it appears that Mr. Weth called at thi ve store and asked whether the firm had @ case of Shaker socks belonging to a man Hamed Isar, Mr. Friedman answered that ich @ case had been boughs by his house, and owed the questioner the entry ou the cash book id recetpted bill. The marshal said he would 4 manded his authority. Throwing a card on tae foor, Weth said, ‘There is my authority,” at the same time using rough and threatening language, | and accusing Mr. Friedman of recetving stolen goods. Mr. Frieaman told the marshal that anless @ bond was given for the goods they could not be moved, Weth then drew a revolver and | threatened to wnoot those in the stote. Captain Kennedy was calied upon and the riotous mar- | al arrested and brought to the Bixth Precinct Station Honse, where he exhibited @ document | looking like replevin, but which he did not | show to Friedman & Webster.

Mary Pomeroy’s Distress and Glen- denning’s Heartlessness, CLOSE OF THE PRO3ECUTION, The Accused Pastor Identified by a Long-Dreaded Witneas. ‘The trial of the Rev. John 8. Glendenning was resumed before the Jersey City Presbytery yester« day. The interest in the case 1s approaching ita culmination. The church was crowded, as it wae expected the delence would open during the day. ‘The argument on the question of admitting re- butting testimony on the part of the prosecution was resumed. Rey, Mr. Edwards ured, in @ forcible argument, that the prosecution had aright to introduce new testimony. He. regretted the declaration of Mr, Dodd, some days ago, that unless certain points were yielded he would be obliged to withdraw. “Now, Mr. Moderator,” continued the speaker, “THIS DEFENDANT CANNOT WITHDRAW. He is in the hands of this Presbytery. If he ahould attempt to relieve bimeelf of his attend- ance before the Presbytery during the investl- gation of these charges then the Presbytery can cite him again, and if he refuse to appear we can depose bim,’? Mr. Dodd here expiained that when he made that statement be intended to convey simply that he intended to withdraw as counsel forthe de- fence. Mr. Edwards rejoined that when counsel make@ a declaration of that kind it is always understood that his client is involved and responsible for the declaration, Altera long debate the resolution offered by the prosecution in favor of the admission of rebatting testimony was laid on the table. Mr. Ira K. Miller, of Yonkers, examined—-Knew Mias Pomeroy since she was a baby; my acquaiote ance with her commenced in Ovid, N. ¥.; never heard of a blemish in ner character; my personal knowledge of her was that she was A PUAB, VIRTUOUS GIRL; I considered her a fit associate for my daughter, with whom she was intimately acquainted; never saw Mr. Glendenning till to-day; I heard her fre- quently spoken of in Ovid and always in the high. est terms, never heard anything about her but what was good till this affair. Mrs. Mary Haskins, @ nurse, testified—I was with Miss Pomeroy during her sickness; I told her onthe Sunday belore Mr. Glendenning’s arrest that { was at church and saw Mr. Glendenning; she asked me HE LOOKED HOW and I said he looked good; I told ner I was sur. prised to find her in such a condition and she said she was surprised herself, ag Mr. Glendenning had promised to make her his wife; she told me that she never had criminal intimacy with any man but Mr, Glendenning and he was the lather of her child; L asked her tae date of her seduction aod she told me July 3, 1873; the intimacy was con- tinuous; she said that he toid her that he had en- gaged a place in New York to put her in during vacation; he said he COULD NOT MARRY HER just then, as his mother and sister and the congres gation would not permit it. On crogs-examination witness said—Miss Pome. Toy frequently wisned to see Mr. Glendenning, bat 1 laughed and said I did not think he would like ta see her, Mr. Joseph F. Talson, a venerable-looking gen- tleman, testiled—Knew Miss Pomeroy fifteen or sixteen creel! she went to school with my chile dren and 1 saw her every week since then; sne pares the organo in the West End church; [ never eard anything against her character; I would suspect almost anybody else to be gulity of any- thing wrong rather than her; I saw her and Mr, Giendenning together on the Sth of July in Broad. way, at West End; when I came near them he walked away; I thought it was very strange y when I came up to where she was standing raised my hat and bowed to her, but she never spoke to me; i shonghs, it very curious, a8 sne always betore spoke me 80 pleasantly; seemed to be IN GREAT DISTRESS; she was weeping and holding her handkerchied to her face; Giendeuning walked off towards the Bergen church; when they saw me coming I saw bim make @ motion oi his hand to her as much as to say, “You go that way and I'll go this way;”?

A PINE DISTINCTION, On cross-examination the witness admitted that he was chairman of the indignation meeting; was called to take the chair by acclamation; would occupy the same position to-morrow, be- cause he Was the tatherof children; he had no animosity against Mr. Glendenning; on th trary be respected th ter he was the repr Father; ne loved the man but not hig Mr. Henry A.
