OHIO MUMMERY.
Trial of Rey. S. P. Linn—The Testimony;
SECOND DAI.T.MORN MG SESSION. .
The Court assembled at half past nine
o'clock yesterday mornimr, and was
opened with prayer by the
,Mocierator,
Rev. W. W. Gillespie.
The minutes of the preceding . See
skku were read and approved.'
The Clerk moved that au additional
Clerk be appointed to transcribe thetes
timony, and nominated Rev. Mr. Risher,
who was d sly elected.
Mr. McKinney said that before pro-
ceeding with the case be desired to state
to the Court that there was some evi
dence which had been ruled out at a pre
vious session that the prosecution was
desirous to have before the Court. Ho
referred to the testimony of Mr. Rep
koins as to what occurred in his family.
' The Moderator held that hearsay ,evi
ii
dence could not be admitted.. ,
Dr. M'Kinney was , of opinion th t the
word 'knowledge Was not to be ; u der
stood in its common acceptation peri
sonal knowledge,but that anything that/
might come to haknowledge by hearsa y
Or otherwise might be given in evidence.
The Moderator overruled the motionto
receive siich testimony. ' •
The court then proceeded with the case
and the following witnesses were ea.'
*united:
Mr.. - Thonsas Taber sworn, lam an elder
cu l l
in the Westminiter Church; 01 land.
The session of that church remo nstr ated
with Mr. Linn for his conduct with tee.
Mr. Linn admitted • his indiatneti and
promised to avoid a iepetition of hem.
There was a petition signed by several
members of the church asking that Mr.
Linn be retained as pastor. The persons
signing the petition . were not against
the older members of the church. The
gentleman who carried the petition
around and was most influential in hav
ing it signed, was one of the main pillars
of the church. It was. thought by some
that the young brother had been harshly
used, and the congregation was therefore
divided into districts and visited by the
elders, in order to ascertain what ground
there was for the rumors in' , circulation
against him.
The prosecution proposed to-prove by
this witness the action of the session in
Mr. Linn's case at Cleveland. •
The defensti objected on the ground
that the session had kept a record of its
proceedings, and that such record being
in existence NV2S the best evidence of the
'action of the session. Objection sus
tained. '
The prosecutor modified his question
and asked:
• Did the members cf the session re.
quest Mr. Linn to resign?
Answer—They did not. Mr. Hopkins,
thedeacon, requested him to resign
without the knowledge of the members.
Do not know that Mr. Linn promised to
keep that request secret, or that during
the latter part of his ministry some of the
elder scholars in the Sunday School did
not approve of his conduct.
Mr. McKinney took occasion here to
call the attention of the Moderator and
Court to the generosity of the prosecatlon.
He said that they did not know what the
witness would testify to and consequent
ly Mr. Linn had the benefit of . all , this
testimony. He said it evinced the strong
desire of the prosecution to get out the
truth in this matter. [Laughter.] •
Mr. McKinney in his great desire to
get at the truth, attempted to reach it
without the aid of facts, but through
dame rumor. He proposed to prove that
Mr. Linn had been guilty of certain spe
cific indiscretions, by having the witness
swear that Mr. zones told Mrs. Grundy
that his wife's sisters told her that Mr.
Linn's repuation was not what it
should tie. ,
The Moderator overruled the motion.
Mr. McKinney said that he did not de.
sire to be considered captious, or he
would appeal from the decision of the
Moderator, and would carry the matter
to the General Assembly. It was clearly
contrary to all.precedent.
Dr. Martin arose to address the - Court
on the question. He objected to the man
ner in which the case was conducted.
He referred to the btckerings between
the prosecuting attorney and the Moder
ator. ,
Moderator—The Moderator will not
submit to this any longer. It the gentle
man is not satisfied be should take and
Mr. McKinney, [interrupting the Mod-
erator,]—l protest eulainat being called a
prosecuting attorney. Mr. Moderator,
the language is discourteous, to say
the least of It. I will not submit to it.
ComparatiVe order having been re
stored, the examination proceeded.
Dr. McKitineY—Did Mr. Linn's con
duct have al wide spread influence for
evil in the communit3?
Answer—lt had some evil influence,
but it was not wide spread. His reputit•
tion was that he was light and frivolous,
and lacked clerical dignity, and that his
conduct was unbecoming a minister.
Mr. McKinney—What was his intlu
mice for evil? •
Answcr—lt was , not wide spread; it
extended to two or three.
. Mr. McKinney—lt was wide spread.
Witness—No, it was not wide spread.
Mr. McKinney—Yes, not wide spread.
There was influence for evil.
Cross-examined—Tile defendant was,
not placed on trial for the Indis
cretions referred to; he had a hearing,
made a lengthy defense, and promiseed
to, reform in future. When be resigned
his charge the session gave him a clear
acquittal; the hearing was had before a
congregational meeting; there were no
ladles present. (Letters from the ses
sion exculpating Mr. Linn, and also ono
signed by -Mr. Taber were produced.)
Theseletters are in my own hand.

from thatileraion?
question objected to by defense.
-1 Objection over-ruled. -
queedon,—Did -families or individuals
withdraw from the Church in conks
quence-of Mr. Linn's conduct toward
young ladies.
Answer—One family ' did; another
family left after the knowledge of these
indiscretions on account of them; other
families left, but I am unable to state lbr
what reason. I have no personal
knowledge of the circulation of a
petition asking Mr. Linn to re
main as pastor of the congregation.
Tb fi session thought best to go out and
'talk with certain members of the congre
gation and settle the disturbance arising
in the congregation; there was an inform
al meeting of the session and afterwards
a meeting of the session and trustees, or a
portion of them, at which a private letter
was drawn up asking Mr. Linn to resign.
Before., the paper was completed I left.
I never saw the paper and do not know
what it contained. Mr. Linn -was not
present at that meeting. 'lt was expect
ed that it would be a private communi
cation. Ido not know whether M. Linn
promised to keep the matter a secret-or
not. I cannot say what influence Mr.
Linn's conduct' had in the Sabbath
School. In the congregation there were
many objections raised to his general de
portment. The objections were, to hie
intimacy with young ladies.
Cross-examined—Mr. Linn made ac
knowledgements to niembera of the sin
sion. It was not a formal meeting of the
session at which that paper was prepared.
I took my letters from the church when
withdrew. lam 'not aware that the
other family did the same. • I took the
letters immediately. There came to be
two parties in the cnnrch about that time.
My family withdrew from the church.
I do not know that Mrs. Lyman remained
in the Sabbath bchooL
By the Court—Some of the members
who withdrew returned after Mr. Linn
left the church. I retired from the
church main* , becauseof representations
made against Mr. Linn.
Direct—l do not know anything deft
nite about Mr. Linn preaching one of Dr.
Campbell's sermons and claiming it as
his own. Mr. Lion was not forbidden to
enter any of the houses of the congrega
tion that I know of.
Mr. Hopkins, recalled-4 don't know
anything about Mr. Linn ackuoWledging
to have preached one of Dr. Ciiinpbell's
sermons. I know nothing about Mr.
Ltnn being forbidden to enter the houses
of any person.
Rev. V. A. Lewis, sworn.—l am pastor
of the Westminster church and a mdm
ber of the Presbytery of the Western . Re
serve. I found upon the roll of that
church the names of Mr. and Mrs. B. and
their daughter. I visited the family to
know why they did not attend chinch.
[The vritntsa here run off into a' long
story of hearsay charcti.gossip, and was
stopped by - the Moderator.] The, ques
tion was tnen modified by the prosecu
tor,and answered as follows:
Letters were granted to the fan:inv .. ' of
Mr. B. to the Second Baptist Church of
Cleveland, on account of Mr. Linn's in
discretions; another family were receiv
ed back Into the church who had received
letters on the same grounds. Mr. Linn
was present at the fall meeting "of
the Western Reserve Presbytery
and gave as a reason for his
previous absence, that he had been pur
suing afourth year's study at the West
ern Seminary and had found it profitable.
The Presbytery consisted of but four
members, and they took no action In the;
case because they could not perms it to a ,
successful termination. Ido not know
anything about Mr. Linn's reputation.
Adjourned to meet at two o'clock.
AT/T1110:00N A sox.
The Presbytery met at 2 o'clock, pur
suant toadjourntnent and was called to
order by the Moderator. After prayer
by Rev. Dr. Martin, the minutes of the
morning session were read and ap
proved. •
Mr. Marshall, of the prosecuting corn
mitte- suggested that a commission be
appointed to take the testimony of wit
nesses who, could not be brought into
the court.
Mr. Linn objected to any testimony be
ing taken by a commission when it was
possible to have the witness before Pres
bytery.
Mr. Marshall stated that it was impos
sible to have the witness present.
Dr.,Martin moved the appointment of
a committee.
Mr. Linn seconded the motion and re
quested that the committee bee large
one, composed of more than two or three
members.
Dr. Martin favored the suggestion of a
large einritaistdon.
Mr. Linn stated that he had objections
to taking the testimony of certain wit
nes refered to on technical grounds.
Mr. Patterson he said was a member of
another -Presbytery and it did not ap
pear that he Vad been cited. The name
of another, witness did not appear in full
on the presentment, merely the name
of "anti; a servant girl." •
Mr. Marshall said it was Merely a
quibble on the part ofMr. Linn object
ing to taking the testimony or
their witneames. He, Mr. Linn had a con
verabtion with the Committee on the
aebject of the affair with the servant girl
and had Made a statement. which if he
would make to the Presbytery and the
court wonld accept It as evidence in
the case would be satisfactory to the
prosecuting committee.
Mr. Lion said he did not desire to shirk
or evade this testimony, but he desired
the testimony to be taken beibre the
Court. - But the Court had enforced some
arbitrary rules against him and ho, as a
good Presbyter • having rt, respect for
the laws by *hieh the Court• was gov
erned, had submitted. There was anoth
er dittlegity the.way-=the' parties,
whose testimony was proposed to be
taken resided inanother Presbytery, and
it was not according to the laws so to do.
After some farther discussion the Mod-
Exeter overrnled the ObeejtiOn.
" The,queetion then recurred 011 the mo
lion to appoint the" Committee,, which
was decided allirmativb., and the
fallowing gentlemen were appointed:

were not tabled because it was thought
they could not be prosecuted to a sac- ,
cased termination. Nothing was said
fennallyabont preferring charges against
Mr. Linn at Piesnytery.
The testimony was read to the witness,
and after a great deal of revision and cor
rection was approved by the witness.
Mr. Meltinney (faired to know whetli;
era 'member of the Court could be
called upon to testify instanter, as there
were several witnesses whose names had
not been entered upon the copy of the
presentment handed to-the respondent,
The Moderator decided that notwith
standing his ruling of yesterday he could
not admit the testimony of any witness
whose name did not appear on the paper
served upon Mr. Linn.
Bev. S. S. Scovet, sworn—l am in a po.
sition to know the general reputation of
Mr. Linn in' the circle of my acquain
tances;/ that reputation has been in
creasingly bad within the last few
months, in regard to the material • 're
sented in these charges—that is for un
truthfulness. carelessness and nnminis
terial impropriety.
Cross examined.—l have :recommend
ed Mr. Linn to funeral Churches within
the last year; have invited him to preach
'for me; recommended' him to the church
at Ha;lewektd a few,days, before the arti
cle on the Seminary was published. I
wrote the the _
at the Presbytery
at Mansfield upon which this proceeding
was instigated. I have been teaching in.
the Theological Seminary for one year.
I nevet told any one that
. I had nothing
against Mr. Linn, except that article on
the Seminary. His reputation was not
entirely good previous to that time, as I
had heard'of improprieties prior - to' the --
publication of that article. but the rn
more, were so indefinite that I paid , no at
tention to them. I have no direct or per
sonal knowledge of any misconduct on
the parfof Mr. Linn.
_ Direct.—A.bout the time that the arti
cle on the seminary was published and
of the meeting of Presbytry at Mansfield,
those rumors became flagrant.
Cross-examined.—lt was after that
time they have ba r on increasing so.
Question.—(By a member of the Court)
Did you say those rumen were public

Answer.--Y said flagrant ; I did not
know that they were in existence before
that time save b y vegue rumor.

Read and approval . -
Dr. McKinney, the prosecutor, desired
to know if the defence would waive the
legal objedion and allow Mr. Marshall
to be examined.
Mr. McKalg said that he was surprised
o hear Dr. McKinney ask the court to
violate the constitution and laws of the
Presbytery, when he had been stickling
for their observance ever since this trial
commenced. The - defence - had - 86 far
been kept Within the requirements of tbe
rules and they so desired the prosecution
to be kept within these bounds.
Bev. Dr. Jennings, sworn—l hardly
think I have boon in a position to know
Mr. Linn's•gerteral reputation. I only
know of two facts, which have been stated
to me. My knowledge of Mr. Linn ex
tends back about a year. f don't knew
anything besides the facts referred to,
__
ex
cept what has transpired since this case
began.
Tne,defence objected to this witness
testifying to general reputation when he
knew nothing about it. '
The Moderator overruled the objection
and allowed the witness to proceed. ,
Was at Cleveland; Inquired about
Westminster chtych. [The Moderator
here stopped the witness, stating that he
could pot allow him - to testity to 'specific
facts to prove general reputation.] Only
heard one charge against Mr. Linn at
Cleveland, and formed my opinion frOm
that.
Cross-examined—l know( nothing per
sonally against the character of Mr.
Linn; all I know is from hearsay; I heard
things to Mr. Lion's discredit from a
member of a Presbyterian church.
Read and approved.
The names of a number of witnesses
were called by the prosecution, but failed
to respond, whereupon the prosecuting
Committee, Dr. McKinney, stated that
the prosecution could not proceed with
the case - without the presence of these
witnesses or having their testimony taken
before a cotnmission. The Committee
had decided to amend the indictment ny.
an additional charge and specifications,
and the witnesses would all have to be
cited again, all of which would require
at-least ten days notice to the defenuant.
,The prosecution would, then:gore, here
rest the case. 'The defense Might. If they
desired, go on and examine witnesses for
the defendant.
Mr. McKaig objected to de inning the
defense until the prosecution had closed.
Ha claimed it as a right due to the de
fendant. He was not bound to make his
defense until the prosecution had made
out their case.
Mr. Martin thought Mr., Linn might,
without prejudice to his case, proceed
with his case.
Mr. McKinney thought that it was in
the power of the Court to compeLtho de
fense to proceed with their case: he was
not posative. however, and would not
urge the matter. •It might be that after
the defense had been beard the prosecu
tion would ask for ten days additional
time. if the prosecution were compell
ed to close the case at this point they
could not do justice to it;
On motion, the Presbytery adjourned
to meet at ten o'clock Thursday morning.

ated
some excitement at the time, and
is likely to result in more of it. The
party arrested was a well known lawyer
of thia city -xvho got upon one of the cars
of _the Manchester Passenger Railway, to
ride to Allegheny. Da the way over, so
the allegations are, he gave up his seat
to some fadies and stood in the dooriiay
of the car. The conductor says he re
quested him to either go inside and stand
or come out on the platform, as he was
blocking up the door much to the annoy
ance of the passengers inside. This de
mand, it is alleged, was rudely repelled
by the passengeroVho claimed that he had
'a right to a seat, and if not getting it, to
stand where he pleased. The altercation
continued all the way over, and became
of such a character. it is alleged by the
conductor, that he was requested by one
or two persons in thecar to have the nn•
ruly one put off. This was not- attempt
ed, however, and affairs had become
quiet, when opposite the Allegheny May
or's office the conductor called a police
man and directed him to arrest
the paseenger, who accorduigly was
taken into the Mayor's office and
locked ,up until . the arrival of Mayer
Drum. The Mayor, upon ascertaining
the hie* Premptly ordered his release.
The lawyer. as he retired; threatened to
bring atilt against the policeman for'
• false imprisonment, a he had made the
arrest without a warrant. Yesterday he
lodged information against him for as
Iseult and battery before Alderman
Strain, upon which the accused was ar
rested and required to give bail for a
hearing. .

The business of buying, selling and
trading in -horses and other things per
taining thereto has become very es
tended in this vicinity in the last few
years, and the demand fur -a that class
mart, for the proper conduct of the
trade, has been a want which
horsemen have often desired tilled.
Heretofore they have been com
pelled to shift about in carrying on
their business, thereby suffering conaid
erable inconvenience besides loss ottime.
Hence they will be pleased to learn that
this want-is to be -supplied by the ar- ,
raugemen Mai the well-known firm,
Messrs. R. H. Patterson eh Co., had just
completed. It is designed by the
firm to accommodate the trade in
this respect , at their stables, corner of
Stiventh avenue and Liberty street; 'which
from their Size afford every facility for
carrying out their object. The principal
feature at present, of the arrangment is
thit auction sales of horses, and every
thing pertaining thereto in the line of
carriages, buggies, wagons, harneus, etc.,
which are arranged to come off every
Saturday, commencing Angnst 81st.
They also intend receiving oonsignments,
and parties having property to dispose of
in this• line can be accommodated by
leaving notice at the stables. They ex
pect by conducting their business on
those principles of fair dealing and ,
promptitude, which have already gained
for them their reputation, to give satis-
Lotion to all with whom they have deal
ings, and which will, without doubt,
make Stewart's mart and auction sales
the popular resort of those interested in
the trade. -

fore Alderman Taylor yesterday, against
Murdock McKenzie for cheating by
false pretences, Williams alleged Mc-
Kenzie obtained from him boarding to
the amount of fifty-five dollars by false
pretences, and then removed his goods
from the premises at a late hour in the
night to avoid having them seized upon.
Officer Bell with a warrant in his poses-
lion started in quest of the accused and
found him in an oyster saloon in the
basement of a house on Venn street. He
seized him and both started up stairs,
At the head of the stairs, McKenzie
turned suddenly, knocked the officer
down and made his escape. He is now•
wanted at the magistrate's office -to an

A Naughty BIM.
Mrs. Annie Laurie, of East Birming
ham, was prevailed upon a few weeks
ago, by a traveling peddler, to purchase
a looking glass for eleven dollars, pay
ing five dollars down, and agreeing to
pay the remainder at a specified time.
Yesterday, Mr. John Bird called at her
house and, she says, asked to see the ar
ticle, which he walked off with as soon
alit came into h:s hands. In explana
tion of tho affair it was stated that the
peddler was in tne employ of Mr. Bird,
and had sold the glass Out forgot to pay
over the money to his employer, who
took this method of squaring accounts.
Mrs. Laurie appealed to Alderman Mc-
Masters, who issued a warrant for the
arrest of Mr. Bird on an information for
larceny. ' .
