Mr. Hall's examination last ed over half an hour. The nature of the questions asked him Is not known, but It Is regarded as significant that ( he should have been called as a witness.

"Well I will tell you. The grand Jury indicted me, but I begged off. But they turned right around and indicted me again, and now I am in hot water." And then Mr. Burns resumed the oc cupation of curling the ends of his moustache. Dr. W H. Davis, mayor qf Albsny: Br B. Ormsby and Oeorge Sorenson. all of whom were indicted earlier this week with C.

"Can a btehop. or ought a blahop to write defamatory letters In secret In order to Injure any member of the ministry?" said Rev. Ingram T. Irvine today. 'My reinstatement," continued Irvine, "Is of secondary consideration when con trasted with this query. Of course I wish this unjust accusation of Bishop Talbot's removed, but I wish, entirely without malice to be vindicated in tho sight of God and my friends." Irvine denied all charges brought by Talbot, and said the charges agstnst blm originated in his persistent refusal to serve communion to Mis. Emma D. Elliott of Huntington, Pa, who is divorced sgalnst the wishes of Bishop Talbot. Mrs. Emma D. Elliott, Implicated In' the charges brought against Blahop Tal- hott hv Rev. Irvine. declnreiri that her accuser and the bishop's should be horsewhipped. She denies that she ever had acquaintance with much lesa married James Alexander or James Anderson.
