4 ~ GLENDENMING SPEAKS. The Mysterious Paper at Last Produced. —. “GLEN'S” INNOCENT INTERPRETATION, | His Bosom Friend Hallowell Tells a | Little Too Much. | The trial of the Rev. John 3. Glendenning was resumed in Jersey City yesterday. Prayer wus offered by the Key. Mr. Halsey. A. H. Demotte testified that Glendenning was at — his residence on the 4th of July, 1875, and that he | him afterward play croquet at Mr, Milier’s. Areport of the proceedings at the indignation meeting was offered in evidence. Letters irom | professors and classmates in the colieges where | Glendenning studied were also offered. They bore | testimony to his good character. One of these | stated that it would take nothing less than revela- | tion to convince the writer oi Glondenning’s guilt, A letter, vindicating the character of Mrs, Wet more for trutniulaess, was objected to by Dr. Edwards on the ground that her veracity had not been assailed in the Presbytery. The Moderator | and Mr. Dod contended that she had been ATTACKED IN THE NEWSPAPERS, The letter was finally withdrawn, ‘The testimony of Wiillam B, Purdy, taken before commission, was read. It set fortn that he saw Mary Pomeroy weara ring and she said it was mother engagement ring; the wituess knew her in Ovid, N. Y.; ber character Was very good; ne pever kuew her to tella lie, Samuel B. Grown’s tesumoay was read, It im- peached tue testimony of Mr. Randall, with whom Mr. Brown bad a conversation regarding the in- dignation meeting. Mr. Randall showed a decided | feeling against Mr, Glendenning, saying Miss Pomeroy's iriends had plenty of money to bing him to justice. Witness replied that Mr. Glenden- ning had A PEW FRIENDS LEFT wt, and they would not let him be crowded down. Mr. Wall for the defence stated that they had endeavored to procure the attendance of Mrs. Middieton, a m@st important witness, but her husband reiused to permit her presence, as s0 many comments had been maue about witnesses in vhe newspapers, Her testimony would contradict that of Nelly Greystock in regard to the visit of Mr. Glen- denning to the asylum, M’. Wail was <ben allowed to take the stand to tostily to tue statements Mrs, Middleton made to him at No, 119 Lexington ave- Bue. She said that she came to the asylum on the evening of the 6th of July; it was her custom to spend the evening alter tea in the irout parlor with. Nelly Greystock; no young wan called at that time, nor anything pear that time; it was impossivle that tue bell could be rung without her knowiog it. On cross-examina- tion Mr. Wall said that Mrs. Middleton was not uader oath wnen she made those statements. GLENDENNING TOOK THE STAND and there was a oreeze among the audience. He testified:—My name*is Joau Stuart Giepuenning; Jam pastor of this churc!: and am the person in- volved in this charge; was born near Pitisburg, Pa.; moved from there to Cannonsburg, in the same State, for the purpose of attending college; remained there five years; came thence to Princeton for the purpose of | attending the theological school at the college; remained there three years; removed to Jersey City; lived all toe time with my mother and sister; Knew Miss Pomeroy: my acquaintance with her commenced as a member Of this churen; Vistted her at Mrs. Miller's; there Was a0 particu- lar evening; j MY FIRST VISITS were on Saturday evenings; stayed usually halt an hour; my acquaintance began in the spring of 1872; could not say how iate | stayed when i went to visit her; sometimes long and sometimes short; can’t tcli the date when my visits be- came more irequent than on Saturday evenings; have been there as late as eleven O'clock, Dut Lever Was there as laie as one o’ciock; when Miss Poweroy was about jotming the charch; sue Was along time i dowse as to’ that step; twas doubt Was based on with whom she lived; I ENUOURAGED HER and tola her as ions as 1 was connected with tne churen she stiovid Lever want a irtenu; she was in doubt about two mouths; made her presents, a locket, earrings, sieeve bultons, Jocket, Chain and others thet | don’t remember; they were given in return ior presents she made to me; the trast rue gave me Wasa shaving Case; hever gave hera plain gold rins; uever saw her wear one. | Q.

Tre ever presi THE SAFE CONSPIRACY. Detatis of the Burglary—The Attempted Alibi—Soss Shepherd on t Stand— The Mysterious Telegrams Aga: WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 1374. ‘The trialofthe alleged safe burglary conspira- tors was resumed to-day. Mr. Davidge said the defence was particularly anxious to have F. B, Benson, now in charge of | the Secret Service Division, in court as a witness. He 18 now in attendance on court at Pittsburg, and the Judge directed the necessary telegram to bring bim here on Friday, John A, W. Clarvoe was recalled and his direct examination continued by Mr, Davidge. Witness described the appearance of the burglars. Cross-examined by Mr. Ricdie—Witness thinks Mayor Richards was present when it was sug- gested that Wiliams help witness; it was Har- rington’s house; thinks the man who came across the street and shumMed his feet did so as a signal to the burglars § inside. Witness was questioned at some length, but nothing new Was elicited, Witness dia not have his own way tn the matcer that night; went to Baltimore on the Sunday following the burglary to see George Oarter. By Mr. Davidge—Witness visited Benton in jail to get a description of Zirrath. Witness hud the paper in his possession and was directed to pro- duce it. Thomas Shepherd sworn—Harrington told wit- ness to run around to the alley and tell the detec- tives that the men had eome out the front way ; wit- neas did not do it; thought he might be an unwel- come visitor in the alley, ‘The remainder of the testuuony of this witness merely corroborated other accounts Of the burglary heretofore given. George P. Fisher sworn-ls District Attor- ney of this District; holds the combination of the safe in bis office; had a new com- bination prepared after the lock had been repaired; witness thinks he told Harrington the new comoination, but thinks Harrington was busy at the time; at any rate, he irequently cailed on Witness to unioce the safe for im and {requentiy | called on Billy Evans todo 80; witness thinks high,” was written by Benson at the desk of wit- ness, and related to the appropriation by Con- gress for the Secret Service Division. Tne teie- gram about the compartment car and “Remember Friday night" was a joke of Shaler's, as Nettle- ship was going to meet bis family that night, alter being nt some time. The cross and direct examination of this wit ness was carried on promiscuously, ali hands taking Pregritp: and the witness was at times cou/used by the questions, Nothing of any furtuer importance was elicited, telegram receipt book was not that of Whitley. Louis De Loma sworn—Is in the Secret Service Division; Knows Whitley’s nandwriting, and the signature in the telegraph book waa not Whitley's, Cross-examined by Mr, Riadle—Witness had been in the service since 1869; was operator; Was never dismissed irom the service; resigned last February and was off the rolls about two and a half months, Witness was shown a paper and acknowledged his signature. Mr. Riddle read tne paper, which was a receipt to Nettleship for $350 for services for tie months of February and Marcb, while witness said his name was Off the rolls. Witness explained this was for special service; did not work up | any other specta! case. Another paper was shown and the signature acknowledged; this was mead, and was a receipt for iwoney paid for ser- vices for the month of April for & similar sum; coanterieit bill case, and got the man arrested this morning, Mr. Riddle—Now, as a matter of fact, did you not get into diMcuity down in Plorida, for which Whitely dismiased you from the service, and you aiterwaras found out Nettleship’s connection with rolls again and paid you the money to keep your mouth shut, and was not Whitley mad about Nettleship putting you in the service again? Witness denied all this, and said he received the money for special service; witness said tis usual pay Was $5 perdtem and $3 additional for ex- penses; witness said he was never arrested. ‘The Court then adjourned antil to-morrow. THE BUNAWAY ACOIDENT ON FIFIH Av- ENUE, The story of the disastrous stampede on Fitth avenue, agtoldin the HERALD yesterday morn- ing, was slightly inaccurate, and it was caused to be so by the reports which the police transmitted to Police Headquarters on day evening. The matters that were reported, Harrington showed him ig m early in May from So. erville, requesting rington to meet him in Philadelphia; this Was about the time of the Congressional investigation; all were | anxious to get possession of the missing | burgiar, and when the despatch came ‘rom | somerville it was supposed that Somerville’s re- | quest for an interview had something to do with | tarning up this man, and witness advisei Har- | rington to go and meet Somerville by all means; the missing burglar was supposed to be named Builer, and, as Somerville spoke about one Butler in his despatohes, they were+ted to believe that it | was this burglar; it alterwards turned out that | the Butler alluded to was Hayes, under the name — @ Butier. Several times during the testimony the | counsel tor the government objected to the | tesiimony, and Judge Humphreys said he would instroct this witness just as he did all the others, for when lawyers are cailed to the stand they forget all the law they ever knew; | this witness must confine bis testimony to what | Was done and not to conversations. Witness de- | | object of m:; commiseratlon was 8 youn, tatied the circuinstafices of furnisbing the bail to | jon not exactly @ vaby lion, nor or nak Benton; he was under thé impression at the time in ius teens, He appeared to have been | that ail the judges were out of town, and after weaned, but was not equal to the splendid bones ob which his elder brethren regaled; a nice juicy piece of soit iver appeared to meet fis require- ments, aud Was dally provided, ut even this de- licious diet appearec viten neglecied, and no won- der, jor one day when his valet had placed the meat beyond tis reach I discovered in bis Irutless endeavor to reach it that his hindquarters were | paralyzed. His general condition cao be imagined | wheu | state that the whole 0! bis jur was matted | together in One Mass of apparent dith. This, | coupied with bis intense lawieness, gave him a wolui look, in which sickness and neglect ap- | peared to have combined to reduce the ilttle sui | jerer to the last stage of despair. I watched little friend for some weeks. He pre- | sented much the same appearance’ he neither im- , proved nor died. [had made one or two attempts to gatuer trom the attendants the cause ol bie animal veing allowed to get into such @ feariul state; but au inteligibie reply pent beyond the powers of those 1 addressed 1 abandoned ail hope of learning the cause of the premature decay of the royul youth, But one day returning to the charge, the keeper addressed turned sharply upon me, &ud pointing to a gentieman tu the yard suid, “That's the Superintendent; go aud ask bim,’?

Part of the treatment consisted in the application of a blister over the entire back; uence the matted and wretched look of nis fur and general dilapt- dated condition, 1 furtuer understood that a pian haa been formed for locating the collection at the upper part ofthe Park, where ampie space could be spared; that the works were actualiy im pro- gress when tue fall of Mr. fweed and lis followers: put a stop to further progress. Tbe action of the Board has been impeded by two causes—first, the supposed necessity lor economy, and, second, & divided opinion among tae members of the Board, some advocating breaking up the collection and locating the ani- als all over the Park, in suitable anu picturesque vis, While otuers entertained the more rational view of keeping the menagerie intact. These and other circumstances have had the effect of mak. ng a deadiock—to pu‘ a stop to any advance. Bearing in mind that the present arrangements are merely oi a temporary Character, I think great tact has been shown, with the limited space and iccom. Modation, to display the coilection to the best ad | vantage, and the disposition of the animals and birds during the summer was most picturesaie. Much ol the practical and educational advan- tages are lost by tie want of a proper system of nomenciature, or rather of any. Many oi the cages have not the nawe of the animal written | upon it, while others give merely the bare name | and notuing else. Now the collection of lions dur- ing the last nine Months at Ceutra: Park has been the finest I have witnessed in one menagerie. 1 think I bave noticed eight or ten exuibited, malic and iemale. What was more interestiog was the yact that the collection embraced many spectes, bub in the absence of any descriptive notice the educational and insiructive lesson which migiit have been imparted to the thousands of visitors has been lost. To artists, sculptors, modellers aud art students, tis vaiuable collection of lions would appear to oller Jacilities ior study, tae importance of which cannot be overrated. The true and periect presentation of animal life in bronze or on canvass 1s Known to be one of the most dificult orapches of art. Few excel in thie role, Tuose Wio have succeeded have reaches tus highest position in their proiession. When Landseer acc-pted the commission to modei the Trafaigar lious be 100k six years Ww study the animal, even with over thirty years’ expericuce of previous labor 1a the same fleid. Have our art studen's avatied themselves of the opportunity lately offered them of svudying so fine a collection at their very doors?

Between these incam- brauces two long tines of venicies had to pass, and to get through without the loss of wheel, spokes or hubs, or of patches of cuticle irom the horses severely strained the attention of the coachmen. As the carriage of Mrs. William P.

Both animals being high spirited, the action of the first startled the second and the team dashed Madly down the dvanue. The driver iost ail con- trol over them and they went on, the vehicle be- hind them being hurled trom side to side, striiog other carriages with terrife forcé; four of hi carriages which were struck careened completely over and their occupants were severely hurt by being thrown upon the ground. A panic was created among the riders by the onset oJ the run- away team, and some ladies and gentiemen Jumped trom their carriages im the attempt to escape from danger. Mrs, Jaffray. however, and her lady companion Made no attempt to jump from the carriage drawn | the runaways. ‘hey remained in it until one the horses slipped and fell at the corner of of Forty-third street and Fifth avenue, and then, the team having been secured, they alignted, irightened bat unhurt. The model policeman who reported the accident an- nounced that Mrs, Jaffray and her trieud jumped from their carriage and were severely hurt, and at the same time he glorified hiiuself as the captor of the runaway horses. Tie only persons who were hurt were Mra. Charles Waite, 0! No. 483 East Ninth street, who jamped irom her carriage, and Was injured about the head; son Freddy, 0!
