M. Clement' C fcureh The Conclunlon.
To the Editor of The E renin? Telegraph.
It being upw established that the whole con
troversy ir,Unst 8t. Clement's Church is carried
on by "outsider," "bmybodies la other men's
matters," the question recurs at once, Did not
this class of persons originate it? Did they not
put the first whisperings into the ears of the
Testry, which made them imagine horrors con
cerning their church and her forms of worship?
Did not "outsiders" bring on the disputes in the
vestry, and lead them to agitate matters they
had no business to discuss at all? Indeed, it
seems so. "Father! fonrlve them, for thev
Know not what they do,

)
In answering one of these "outsiders." "A
Tarlshioner" fell into the use of a certain theatri
cal word, which so offended "An Outsider" that
"A Parishioner" stopped to bate his breath and
get on the right path again, having lost it. as he
now finds, at that part of "An Outsider's" com-
munlcation announcing "more novelties" In
preparation at St. Clement's Church. There
not only theatrical word, but also theatrical
character passed before "A Parishioner's"
mind, and he saw or imagined that he saw
("Iago," "Mephlstopbeles," "Paul Pry," "Amlnl
3ab 81eek," it id omne genu. See now outside
communications corrupt church manners ! Now
if "A Parishioner" has sinned in this respect, he
confesses It. Shall he not have absolution ? Can
not "An Outsider" grant it ?
But now to Mr. "Outsider's" questions. He
asserts that he Is not In the vestry, but he wishes
be were; and then wants to know if "A Parish
ioner" candy as much; to which let him be
answered res! as to the assertion, and no! as
to the wish. To let him be answered no to his
questions as to tbc influences which called forth
"A Parishioner's" communications, and whether
they are electioneering documents or not. Let
us hope that the defense of St. Clement's Church
will not always be called a "political dodge," as
Mr. "Outsider" calls it.
The statement that there bas been "a radical
change in some of the doctrines taught," "An
Outsider" said was "In tent ion illy omitted" in
his first communication. But It being necessary
to keep tin the fusillade on that part of the line.
rtae Introduces it in his last paper, prefixing, it,
fno doubt, for the ease of his own conscience,
with the exculpatory phraso, "tt is alleged.
But who alleges it? "Outsiders ?"
This one we are dealing with now has no
''personal knowledge of the peculiar teaching
of the reverend gentlemen," but be has seen
"extravagances enacted in the chancel," which
extravagances, as he terms them, led him to join
in the tirade against the doctrines taught. Now
does be not know that the doctrines taught are
thopc, and only those, enunciated in the "Book
of Common Prayer;" and that nothing which Is
not in that book' or which is In conllict with it
is taught at St. Element's? Is "An Outsider"
one of thwe who want to revise tlie Prayer
Look, and drop certain passages out of it ? An
swer quick !
"A PariiOiiouer" Is not a member of "The
Guild of the Holy Cross." and knows very little
of that association; but be will tell what be has
heard of it. It in an association of young men
rto assist the Church (not St. Clement's alone")
In doing the Church's work. Thev do the dea
cons' work in the Church In America, for she
bas no deacons to do it. Thev irlve no soma of
ytheir time, which they might else devote to
I amusement, in looking aloDg the highways and
byways to and the poor and relieve their wants,
ana to bring tnem ana au other "outsiders Into
the Church. In pursuing their labors their time
is so completely occupied that they have no op
portunity to decry upon others laboring in a
diflerent field, or meddle in other peoples dls-
Eutes. Can "An Outsider" "say as much of
imself?"
It did not need the assurance of "An Out
sider" that he did not mean to compliment "A
Parishioner" in his first letter to make that fact
certain and plain. But it will require some
thing more than his stout denial to get rid of
"A Parishiouer's" assertion that "An Outsider"
attempted to justify the publication of the
vestry's minutes, when be said that they pub
lished them to defend themselves against a whole
collocation of words, taken bodily out of "A
Parishioner's" communication, which was pub
lished ten days after the vestry's pamphlet! But
let the public decide this question for them
selves. Simple assertions and denials will con
vince no f reeh minds.
"An Outsider" makes a very proper correc
tion of the mistake which made "A Parishioner"
claim an Increase of pew rents in Jive years.
Such a claim would be no glorification of the
reverend gentlemen who have had charge of St.
Clement's Church for the past two years only.
During this time the Increase is claimed, and
"An Outsider" cannot belittle it by saying that
it is not material. It is some increase, which
"A Parlobioner" claims; and he now says that it
is more than double. Can "An Outsider
gainsay it?
But this "outsider' if he is not an insider,
bas been among the insiders, aud he writes as if
inspired from the inside, aud exceeds the ex
pectations of "A Parishioner" when he aimits
that 1 15 000 of the debt has been cancelled, aud
then says it may be $20,000! "Saul was among
the proplms, but be was not a prophet." Now
know, Mr. "Outsider," that ibis debt was not
paid under a compromise at 'fifty cents on the
dollar." but it was paid by voluntary contribu
tions in cash and claims; and that it was done
not "by au arraugement long since made by the
mueb-abuf-ed vestry" alone, but by them and
the "reverend gentlemen" in charge of the
Lchurch and the "much-abused" Oulld. Was any-
S.kt.M I .1.1. Irtn J . J L t 1
luiu ui mm nniu cvci iiuuq ucimo kueBo reve
rend gentlemen took charge of the church?
Was not the debt iucreasing then rather than
decreasing ?
Finally, we come to "An Outsider's" bold and
impious assertion that the increase of the com
municants from one hundred and twenty to
three hundred and fifty "is by no means a cause
for rejolcit'g." So it comes down at last to this !
Is any comment needed ? Let no one ever ad
vocate prayers for the dead, while prayers for
the living Lsvo bad so little effect upon "An
Outsider." The Church milllaid has work before
ber which ill engage the whole time of the
ministry; the Church triumphant can have none
of it.
St. Ciemcut's Church being la full commu
nion with tbe "Protestant Episcopal Cauren. In
the United States of America," the natural lu
uiry is, where are its traducers r where 1 "An
Outsider?" Is be lu the same communion?
Would he be delivered from "evil and mischief;"
"bllndnees ot heart;" "pride, viiuarlory, and
bypocrisv;" "euvv, hatred, and malice, and all
iincbarltableness; "the deceits of the world,
the ilesh. aud the Devil;" sedition, privy con

of the old stories concerning Si.

i.. nroved to be untrue. This but assault

'I'hiifla no doubt, were the "ehurch-

there are seven sacraments, but even two, and If
left to themselves at tkis day wUl tooa tve
nana. Wt this "Churchman" says about pri
vate voluntary confessions is already answered
in Dr. Uatterson's pamphlet, and the
answer need not be epitomized here.
But the assertion that the Church
"makes no provision for it" Is not the truth.
8be does in the Book of Common Prayer invi
tation to commune that part of it which is
not read La all churches or by all "churchmen."
There is no confessional established in St. ele
ment's Church, although ber iraducers insinuate
that there Is, and would have the public
believe it; but they dare not assert it as a fu t.
l'rayers for the dead are not rea l at St. CI?'
merit's, and never have been; the "praver for
the whole state of Christ's Church miltuit" la.
Tie "Guild of the Holy Cross" is composed of
yourg men well knewn in this city, who.e char
acter for honesty and sincerity is far superior
to and whoee hatred of dishonesty and deception is
deeper tbaa any self-named "Churchman, whose
free use of these latter terms shows that bis ears
mutt be very familiar with them. The "Guild"
draws as little inspiration from Italy (why not
use the bold word "Rome" at once?) as "A
Churchman" draws from Heaven. There is just
as wide a chasm between them. No book is used
at St. Clement's, nor is the use of any book in
culcated there, which is published without its
author's name or the house which published it.
tt. Clement's clergy never disobey any lawful
commands of their Bishop. Where was there
ever such a back-door approach a this pre
tended condemnation without pre.emment, de
fense, or trial, which ome "churchmen" are
tn ing to fix upon ber ?
lime and space prevent a full review ot "A
Churchman's" communication. To do it, how
ever, would be mere repetition of the church s
fide of this Question already published In Iiib
Evkmno Telrorai'H. It is sulllcicnt to meet
his general slanders with flat denials, ncl tV.en
nail (him to tbe counter as a bogm "church
man;'' one who does not care a snap of bis
fiDger for bis Apostolic succession, and who
believes just as much of the Prayer Book as is
easy, and condemns those who believe it all and
live up to it.
And now, Mr. Editor, in closing ttls corre
spondence, there can be no more fitting way to
do it than by tbe expression of hearty and sin
cere thanks for the many favors vou have
granted to A Pari.hhionek.

Continuation of the Trial In 8an Fran.
cUco Tcwt Imony of tlie "Wife of the l)c-
ci-annl ul Other Wit uvhHt'H.
Sam Francisco. March 30. The Court re
sumed its elltlug at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the attendance of members of too bar quite
filling the room, aud the lobby aud hallway
being crowded with other spectators. Airs.
Fair had entered tbe court room fifteen tniuutcs
before, supported by Under Sheriff Knox, and
accompanied by her mother. She was very
pale, and her eyes expres-ed fatigue aud ex
haustion. Soon after taking her seat she leaned
over on her mother's breast and wept silently
for a time, seeming to fiud relief lu tears. This
pitiful picture of tbe miserable woman's unhap
pinecs was unrelieved, aj on the previous days
of the trial, ty the presence of her beautiful
child.
Mr. Vosburg testified I am au upholsterer at
No. 14 Third streei; I kuew Mr. A. P. Critten
den; know Mrs. Fuir; she visited my store
often, several times to buy goods; I had been
furnishing Mr. Crittenden's house shortly be
fore tils death; I also furnished eoiue rooms for
Mrs. Fair juet before that; at the time I was
furnishing Mr. Crittenden's house the last time
1 saw her she paid me some money aud spoke
about it; she asked me if I was furnishing a
house for Mr. Crittenden; I did not deny it, be
cause she seemed to know all about it; she said
that Mr. Ciitteudeu had promised thai Mrs.
Crittenden should not return to the State, and
that if she did "one of us three will have to
die," meaning by "us three" herself, Mr.
Crittenden and Mrs. Crittenden: that was
on the 5th of October: I tried to argue with her
and spoke against ber resolution, as Mr. Crit
tenden was a great friend of mine; she was very
excited at that time, and kept repeating, "He
bas ruined me and my child; at the same time
her attorney called there and wanted me to go
as a witness in ber divorce case; be wanted
some one to prove ber residence In the State; I
went aud testified before the Commissioner, and
she relumed and paid some money on ber fa r-
nllure bill; I am sure of the date; I refreshed my
ruird by my books tbls morning; I saw the dale;
she paid me tl.OU; at tbe time of the conversa
tion I did not look nt it in a very serious way;
think I advised ber not to do anything of the
kind; that be was a good sort of man; she an
swered that I did not know all; that be bad
ruined ber and ber child. The conversation
occupied ten or fifteen minutes; I called
on ber to collect money, she dll not
admonish me to keep secret what she
hud said; I told Mr. Crittenden what she said
tbe day before; Mr. Crittenden arrived at my
store; ne was there on business; I told him:
"Air. urutenuen, are you quite sure mere wm
be no trouble about your lady coming back?"
He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "Mrs.
Fair says there win ne trouble n your laay
comes back;" be replied, "Oh, that Is ail right;"
that is all be said; this was the morning of the
day before tbe shooting. I told no one else of it;
itoiaouaize uope ana Airs, cnuenaen ot u
since the shooting to Mr. Cope in the street
car and to Mrs. Crittenden at ber residence,
where I bad some work to do; told Judge Cope
before Mrs. Crittenden did; I was not called or
examined as a witness before the Coroner s
jury; told Mrs. Crittenden within a month after
the death ana oeiore tne inquest; i may nave
told it to others; did not tell it to Mr. Byrne or
Mr. Campbell; I told it to some one who came
to my store, about two or tbrde weeks ago; he
was tent by Mr. Byrne, be said; he asked me
what 1 knew of it, aud I told him; don't remem
ber tteat 1 told Judge Cope that I bad told Mr.
Crittenden of the remark; did not tell tbe niaa

Fair) talked about it she was excited, aud be

fled as follows: I am the widow or Alexander
P. Crittenden; I was not quite thlrty-thtee
years bis wife; I was on board tne steamer
El CapUan on the afternoon of tti3 HI
of November, when my husband was shot;
1 arrived from tbe East upon the 4tu no, tuo
Cd ol November, aud met my husband oa tbe
wharf; we weLt together on board tue steamer;
walked np the steps on the left hand side; we
erosi-ed to tee whether the seat usually occupied
was VDJPtv aealnet tbe wheelliouc; we went
round abere and took our seats my husband
inv daughter, my Utile daughter, and my sou; I
asked t urner to go iuu me cauiu ana uriug om
Mr, l'bvthlan: 1 was on my husband s rlirbt
band, silling neit the cablnj Mrs. Phythlan was
on bis left; my daughter at on the seat on the
nter side ot the boat; my son was somo.vheie
near; I do't exactly know where; after we bad
taken our teats 1 naturally looked around to see
t,n were there, having just arrive! trom the
Eat; I saw sitting on my right a womau who, us
iQr .a 1 nn remember, had a water-proof cloak
on; ber face was covered with something; I ob
...r.pH ,r lcause I thought it a strange dress
lor & britcht. euubblny afternoon; I said nothlug
it, tim tn her. but turned away iroui ner to
t,.,t.i.nt i,nd conversed with him for a few
n, ia-t act of bis life was to dis
play the usual gentlemanly courtesy be showed
to every oi.e; be said to Mrs. Pbythlan:-
'xi-zt-m allow me to take yur UaveUing-
bag;" by this be bad both bis Lauds occupied;
he said two nc-three things tbat I do no remem
ber; I bad turned to him and put inyartn through
bis; it was about five minutes after we came on
board when a !fash and report came In try face;
I looked up, of course, to see who had fired the
shot, and saw a-woman; I did not see her face,
but I saw tbat it was the same fimire that I h 1
observed before; my husband said, "I am shot;"
at least I am told he said so, hut I did not bear
bim; I turned toward him; be got np, walked
two or three paces steadily and then began to
stsirger with my arms upon him; he sat down
upon tbe seat, and I then saw tbat he wai terri
bly Injured; when be fell to tbe deck I sat down
beside him and held his bead: my son came up
and 1 said to him, "Your father is shot," and
told bim who had done it; I knew these threats
bad been made years before; I stayed with my
husband until the boat arrived here, and then
went with bim in tbe wagon which took bim to
bis own bouse;. I suppose that is all tbat Is
necessary.
To Judge Campbell Immediately after the
shooting I saw nothing of the pistol; then the
Captain-brought it to me and showed it to tne; I
last saw tbe person that fired tbe shot when I
looked up after it had beeu fired; I turne4 to my
husband then and didu't see where she went; 1
first heard the defendant say anything of tbe
nature of threats toward my husband when she
came to tbe bouse, about the last of October or
first of November, 18li!, at about 11 o'clock at
night; my son Parker was in bed asleep; I wa
rot: my son Howard bad not come lu; my b'is
band had been borne a few minutes; a tarwards
I beard Howard unlock the door; my husbind
went to the head of the stairs, and sa w a woman
trying to come into the house; he said, ''Don't
let ber come into tbe bouse;" my vn was oa
crutches at the time: I believe he bowed ber
out; my husband went part of the wav
down stairs: she insisted upon seeing Crit
tenden; he refused to see her; I offered to
go down myself, but be would not allow me; sho
insisted tbat he should go w ith her: he said, "I
will not, it will only be tbe same thing over and
over again;" I can't say all she said; she said
something else; Mr. Crittenden replied, "I am
tired and sick of It; I am utterly disgusted; you
have unsexed yourself, you and your moiher
both;"' be then told me to wake up mv sou and
send bim for a policeman; she said, "If you do
there will be bloodshed;" my son came out, and
my husband tent bim for a policeman; after a
w hile I heard ber and my oldest son in conver
sation; heard them go down the steps together
and go away; can't say bow far they went and
bnve not beard since; that was the only occa
sion upon wbicb I heard her make threats
against my husband; I saw bnt little of her.
Judge Campbell How far were you from tbe
person who fired tbe shot on the boat?
Mrs. Crittenden requested her son, who was
sitting near ber, to rise, and then placed bim
about two feet from ber, saying that tatt wa
about the relative position; my dress was burned;
tbe shot passed across me.
Mr. Cook Did Mr. Crittenden remain in his
rooms while you were visiting Virginia City?
W itnees I don't think you have any right to
aEk that question. (Turning to the Court)
Ought I to answer that question? The Court
advised her to do 60, and she resumed Well, be
did remain at bis rooms while I stayed at my
daughter's; I have never been to Virginia since;
it was in October or November that Mrs. Fair
came to my residence; for the two or three weeks
ptcvious to tbat night my husband had been in
town, nnd bad come home regularly every night;
Mr. Crittenden had been in tue house ten or fif
teen minutes when Mrs. Fair knocked at the
door; about the same time as she came I heard
How aid come in the door; Mr. Crittenden was in
my room when I heard Mrs. Fair at the door; he
bad put the parlor lights out when be came in; I
did not go down stairs to meet bim: it was about
SO minutes afterwards that I beard Howard come
in; the first tbirg I heard was bis unlocking of
tbe door; then 1 beard my busbaud say, "Don't
let ber come in;" I was in the upstairs passage;
be w as at tbc bead of tbe stairs; my busbaud
might Lave gone to tbe bead of the stiirs be
cause be fancied she might have followed bim
borne; perhaps be beard tl.e bell ring; Howard
bad a night key and opened tbe door with it; I
could bear the woman's voice at the door, but
could not bear what was said when she first
came; heard her say afterwards that she wanted
my busbaud to go borne with her; don't know
lvbtm she addressed; said she wanted him to
walk a little way with ber; all that passed was
said In about ten minutes; ho said he would
not go with ber; he was standing then ou tbe
slaii case. What did she do uext? She only
reiterated what she had said; I heard all
my husband said; dou't know whether I beard
all be said; be stood on the stairs and talked
five, ten, fifteen minutes perhaps, certainly not
tnore than fifteen minutes; what followed iu
order of course I can t give you; it was after the
conveisatlon I have related tbat tbe policeman
was talked about after she had refused to leaye
the house; Mr. Crittenden went down nearly to
ti e bottom of tbe stairs; did not go down into
tbc ball: I have already told you what he said at
tbe bottom ef the stairs; Howard started with
ber, but did not, I think, go borne with ber;
Parker at the time ot the conversation on the
(lairs was in bed; can't tell who called him; saw
bim go down; don t recollect whether It was
when my busbaud was talking; Parker went for
a policeman; I don't recollect at what point of
tl e conversation he went.
Mr. Cook asked a good many questions upon
tbe same points, eliciting replies blmilar to the
above.
Judge Campbell arose and said that the con
duct of the counsel on tbe other side was "out-
rnireous and disgraceful," iu prcsslug the wit
ness to answer the same questions over and over
again.
Mr. uook replied tnat tne gentleman was ex
ceeding bis privileges in applying the word
"disgraceful to the- conduct of auy member ot
tbe bar. He also denouueed "clap-trap"
speeches, intended only to influence the jury.
Tbe spectators applauded Mr Cook's words,
and tbe Court instructed the Deputy Sheriff to
arrest any one who sbouid apiaua again, it
also Informed Mr. Cook that the witness bad
already answered bis questions.
The session ot tne court uere terminated, ana
tbe jury were given into the charge of the De
puty bheriff, as usual.
t owards tne close or tne auernoon session,
Mrs. Fair's face wore a very distressed look.
About tbe time of tbe adjournment she seemed
to become faint, and, leaning back in her chair,
laid ber bands before her, turned her bead ou
oue side, and let tbe tears flow down ber cheeks.
Her mother and Dr. lrak attended to ber. aud
she was quickly conveyed to the carriage in
walling. A large number ot persons stood in
tbe passage and at tbe door to catch a glimpse
of ber face.
