TESTIMONY OF PASTORS ‘RULED OUT Recliors Have to Determine Whether the Statements of Accused Amount te a Vieciation' of Decirines of Curist or Not. BATAVIA, N. Y., April 27. — The trial of Rev. Algernon 8. Crapsey of Rocliester before aun sccliesiastical court of five rectors of Protestant Epis- copal churches Is nearfog Its close Dr. Crupsey stands charged with heresy aud a viclstion of his ordina- tion vows, the uvidence dguinst him be ing a book of serwuons printed over his name and the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal church. The prosecution abruptly ended its case, aud the defeuse endeavored to present the testimony of a number of prominent clergymen as to whether or not Dr. Crapsey’s sayings constituted beresy, but the court ruled the test! mony ot On the ground that ne wag could qualify as an expert iu doctrice and on the further ground that the witnesses were called to express oplu- jous um subjects Which were before the court for decision. The lawyers for the prosecution and defeuse will sum up today The widespread interest which is at- tracted to the trial was attested by the greatly increased attendance. The most [nteresting incident was an exchange between Judge Riinees, for the prosecution, and Edward M. Shepard, for the defeuse. This fol lowed the placing ou the stand of the Rev. Joseph Alexander Leighton, chap lalgs and professor of philosophy in Hobart college, the first wituess called by the defense. After Dr. Leighton had read the full text of the present: ment against Dr. Crapsey, Mr. Perkins said to him: “In your opinlon, is there anything contaloed In the specifications which is coutrary to the doctrines of Christ as the Lord had commanded and as this chiurch Lad received the same?’ “I object,” emphatically anuounced Mr. O'Brian of the prosecution. “I do not understand that the witness is lm- persouating the doctrine of the Prot estant Episcopal church, He has wo more right to characterize and inter pret the doctrine of this church thao a mio uever beard of, because the church is an organization, with its con stitution mud bylaws. The church speaks as a church. This Is 8 question of law and not of fact Such testl mouy as this Is wanifest absurdity.” “It is charged,” replied Mr. Perkins, “that Dr. Crapsey Las violated his vows as 8 clergyman in that be bas advanced statements contrary to the doctrines of Christ. What ig this church If the argument of the prose cution is correct? Who Is the church but the laity and the clergy? ‘We are the church." Suppose somebody, as my friend says, lLield to some doctrine con- trary to his interpretation and the whole church was this man. He would have the whole church heretic except the standing committee. “This is an important question, w Mr Perkins continued. “It goes to the es: seuce of the whole matter. We want to show what people think, not neces sarlly what is right and wrong.” At this point Judge Stiness, former chief justice of the supreme court of Rhode Island, spoke for the first time “My associate,” be sald, “Las request al we to define this case to the court I do. This court has to determine two thiogs—first. whether Dr. Crapsey made the statements cited ino the pre seutment. There Is wo proof neces: sary, because this is admitted by the defense, Second, whether these state: ments amount to a violation of the doc trines of Christ. It is not a question whether that doctrine is true. The great question Is, Are these things sald by Dr. Crapsey lu sccordifite with the doctrines of the church?’ “] assure my friend,” sald Mr, Per kins in reply, “that he has net lost the art of the advocate.” Rey, Mr. Alexander testified that he sat In his place at the chancel and took notes of what Dr, Crapsey sald, This Is what he heard: “Jesus was born of parents belong: ing to the middle ciass. He was born of a simple father and mother, le was the son of a carpenter. The fact that the early Christians predicted a miraculous birth of Christ is to be re garded as one of the greatest misfor- tunes that Las ever befellen maukind." “Had you heard him preach on simi. lar questions before?’ asked Mr. Per: kins, *Yos, I heard bim lecture for twelve consecutive Sundays, and It was most painful to hear” Lawyer Perkins tried to draw an ad- inissiou from the wituess that he got evidence osgainst Dr. Crapsey so Le could get the rector dismissed and se cure bis place. Mr. Alexander dodged the point “ Spaniard Gefs Twenty Year Sentence PHILADELPHIA, April 27. — Joa- quiu Alvarez, a Spaniard, who shot and kilied Herwan Plerce and Hans Busch during a quarrel, was sentenced by Judge Staples to twenty years' lm- prisonment.
