The trial of Dr. Ralph A. Huntington on the charge of murder in connection with the death of Miss Jennie McKown, the young girl to whom he was engaged, was continued before Judge Lawlor yes- terday. The evidence was practically the same as given at the preliminary examin- ation before Judge Cabaniss. Dr. T. B. W. !‘land, who made the autopsy on the girl's body, concluded his testimony, which was of a technical na- ture. Miss Kate Degnan, a friend of the dead girl, testified to the relations exist- ing between her and the defendant. Rob- ert Davies testified that he introduced the girl to the defendant and gave testimony as to their subsequent meetings and af- fectionate conduct toward each other. De- tective Ed J. Wren testified to the findin of the instruments in the defendant’s of- fice with which the operation was being performed on m:cgirl when she expired. Mrs. Belle McCottrey, the dn&{ rl's sister, told that the defendant and the de- ceased were recognized lovers. The de- fendant used to call at her house, where Jennie lived, every day in the week and sometimes two and three times a day. She said Jennie was of a bright and sunny dis- gition, but within three months ;r or to g:r death she became fretful an lm tient and was difficult to please.

He sald in part: “Without the helns furnished by the commentators, explorers and translators, it would be impossible for any one to take up intelligently the study of Bible litera- ture. “I belleve that the religions of the world as they developed from polytheistic to monotheistic basal principles, in like man- ner are still tending upward and onward to one great universal religion which will link all the people of the earth together. Changes are going on on all sides. This leveling down and piling up means that some we are to stand side by side on one religious platform, the first fruit of the union to be the abolition of blood- shed, the rendering of war but a dark memory of ages that have long since rolled away.” —_— INDIFFERENCE TO GOD IS CURSE OF THE AGE The reasons why men do not generally attend church were discussed last night -at the Church of St. John the Evangelist by the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols and Rev. Dr. Clampett. The lec- ture was delivered by Dr. Clampett, who said that the indifference of men to God was the curse of the age. “I think it safe to say,” said he, “that not’10 per cent of our men attend services on the Babbath. I further think that not 25 apar cent of tne students of either Stanford University or the University of California devote an: time to the study of religion.
