THE CASS CASE.

OF CONSTABLE ENDACOTT.

STRANGE REVELATIONS.

(FKOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

Loxdox, November 2. (Whet writing to yon about the Cnss case several weeks ago, I ventured to predict tiiaithe Wai of Endacott for perjury would throw some 1 hew and possibly unexpected lights on the affair. 1 don't know why, but J have never from the first been able to ac. rapt tie popular opinion about the fair heroine. London policemen are sometimes queer fellows, but, till this affair, no one ever heard of one molesting a quiet, modest girl, walking quickly about her business, as Miss Cass says she was. Wβ know now Miss 'Cass was quite capable of " larking in thestreefs of Stockton, and if in Stockton ■Trknot in London * At any rate, the youne 'By can no longer pose as a grossly-injured inriocenb. Wβ have learned to know her iatfee witness-box as she really is, and a wy indiscreet, not to say skittish, dam- Jeleheappeare to bo. people are wondering now why Miss Cass prosecuted Endacott. They forget she had nooption. Mr Stead agitated and agitated till the Government were driven to take up the case. If Mis 3 Cas<3 had refused to proae cate, the Crown would have done so. the trial came on at the Old Bailey on Monday, with all the accompaniments of a "mttetkbre. The Court was crowded, lne iJoMtor-General, Mr Grain, and Mr l<. Al. Abrahams appeared for the prosecution, and Mrßesley and Mr Gill for Endacott. For a while the evidence was formal, but all eyes were turned to the door when the usher called Mrs Elizabeth Langley, n<ie Mi*B Cass, She took her place in m witness-box without hurry or Hurry. ThV' Complainant was very qmetly dressed, in steeple hat trimmed with afeer ribbons, black cloth jacket, and iftowa • gtovee ; and was naturally pale in complexion. Few persons in Court ,' <Sonld hear her answers. As a witness she tas what lawyers consider a model of brev ity, never extending her answers beyond a monosyllable unless compelled so to do. I 'Jhrwgjjout both examination and cross examination she betrayed a remarkable, and apparently natural, solidity of manner, panging often at considerable length betore «plyw?, and exhibiting no sort of emotion f at;i»ytime. Endacott sat in the docK during the whole day. The cross-examination by Mr Besley re pealed some new evidence, the first being a rtatefcenfc that the assistant at Shoolbred s *ali;edhome with her to Trinity Square, OB thq other side of the water, soon alter far arrival in town from the North. Up to this time, it must be remembered, Miss Cass Wd declared she went to Shoolbred s ioi wme ribbon only. She now said she got Jte assistant who served her to call wr Settle. Ho said he should not be free till half-past eeven. Miss Case, replied she Vdald return then. Four hours intervened, *McH Miss Cass spent walking about the ■*»&..■ The suggestion of the defence, ot eristliat Endacott saw her then, one Pasted that she-stayed in Tottenham wort Road and adjacent streets all the *PJ, but her. knowledge of localities w a*> wfownto be very vague. T I Miss Case's eno-agement to young Lang h (her present hnsbancl) was broken oB . Wore she left Stockton. She was then on fetliaate terms with a married man named Bimm<«dß. One of her friends, a Miss Wstello, remonstrated with her lor on so with Simmonds. JM»» *™ Replied that she had broken 'Sft, I*W, » nd could T do f 8 xvas ■m. Her to I^ngley was ;.«*tww»ed till aflOT the trovible wit'i Jndaoott. She had not lived with her eince her marriage till β-fowdag '.{J* After their wedding hetetuvned to > work at Burton. Miss Caes fuithei to another indiscreet flirtation ■.Pf 4 married man named Bryen. bhe walks late at night with Biyan. •Odaecoinpatiied him more than once on an •Worsion without his wife's kn°™ff e occasions they had tea in a P n **~ : **>? at an hotel together. Miss Case visited Bryan at his house K-Wwa hU wife and eervante were away. « J»w>b true either that she spent Ohnst «'%■ alone wJth-Bryap,-«d cooked a

goose he had won in a raffle for their dinner.

When Miss Cass left Stockton for London Bryan agreed to go with her as far as York. Ho travelled in the same train, but not in tho same carriage. She saw him on the platform at Stockton, but she took no notice of him. Her father aud brother were with her then. She did not draw their attention to Bryan. They didn't know him. At xovk Bryan gave her some lunch. She went on to London in the afternoon. Wit ness swore positively to arriving in London on Tuesday, not Wednesday night. There were no grounds for saying she passed Tuesday night at York with Bryan. There hud never been any liaison betwixt herself and Bryan.

Ms Besley: Did you tell your friend Whitehead that Bryan had given you a satchel and gome gloves, and that he was going- to meet you ?•—No. I used to see Bryan about twice a week before he went to York with me.

By the Judge : Did he ever give yon a satchel ?—No,

Or gloves ?—Yes. One pair. By Mr Besley.—is that the only present he ever made you ?—No, he gave mo a box —a glove box. I don't remember his giving me anything else. By the Judge.—ls that all ?—There may have been something else. _ What then ? You can't have had presents given yog without knowing it.—Witness (after a long pause) : He gave me a ring —with the stone out. A diamond.

Where is the ring?—My husband has it. In re-examination, Mrs Langloy said her husband knew nil about her "'goings-on ;, with Bryan. The evidence in chief of Mrs Bowman was precisely the same as at the preliminary inquiry. In cross-examination, she denied either that her daughter often "brought home men" or that she used filthy and obscene language in the work room.

The Judge remarked that theso insinua tions should not have been made unless there were good grounds for them, upon which a juror ejaculated "hear, hoar.' . His lordship was down upon the wretched man like lightning. The very idea of an expression of opinion coming from the jury box horrified him. He threatened to com mit the offender for contempt of Court, but subsequently somewhat modified the re buke.

The other evidence given on Monday was immaterial.

Mrs Tomkins, with whom Miss Cass stayed upon her arrival in London, was tho first witness on Tuesday. She remembered the day Miss Cass came. It was certainly a Wednesday, she was positive of that. Miss Cass had stated m her evidence that she left home on a Tuesday, and after lunching at York with Bryan, came on to London the same day.

On Thursday, Mrs Toinkins took Miss Cass shopping in Regent, where it was quite possible Endacott might have seen her.

The police evidence was much the same as at tho informal inquiry, which, by-the by, the Judge roundly condemned.

The prosecution having closed, Mr Jus tice Stephen ruled that Endacott must be acquitted, as two direct witnesses were essential to prove a case of perjury, and only one had beon called. It is, he ex plained, a well understood rule that to support a charge of perjury there must be corroborative evidence. A will not be convicted of • the oilonce merely on the word of B unsupported by any circum stance. Whether that rule is a sensible one or not was no concern of the Judge or jury ; the rule exists, and must receive effect at the hands of the Judge of the land. Accordingly Mr Justice Stephen put in effect to the Solicitor-General this dilemma : —"If you rely on the allegation by Enda cott that he saw Miss Cass stop gentlemen, there is no corroboration of her evidence : it is merely her oath against his. If you rely on his allegation that he had soon her three times before in Regent-etreeb, the allegation may not havo been material to the issue, which every allegation must be in order to found perjury upon it." Mr Stead is furious. In his oyes Miss Cass is still the most innocent and injured of women. Her two flirtations with mar ried men he prudently ignores. Endacott will, it is said, now bo re-instated and granted all arreare of pay. He has through out stuck tenaciously to his story, when nothing would havo been easier than to admit the possibility of a mistake. That he believes in it himself .there cannot be a doubt. Here endefch the Cass case.

MAN'S IMMORTALITY.

On Sunday evening the Rev. Robert Sommervillo preached, in St. Peter's Presbyterian Church, Surrey Hills, a ser mon in reply to a review of one delivered in the Opera House on the previous Sunday. His text was Gen. ii., 7, " The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." He thought the prencher's comments on his sermon were in some degree due to insufficient knowledge; and his appeals to the passions of his hearers were scarcely appropriate. That gentleman did not seem aware of the relation which Presbyterian ministers bore to the standards of their church. The Bible was their only rule of faith and practice. The Confession of Faith was a secondary or subordinate standard. The UniLed Presbyterian Church of Scot land had issued a declaration of principles in which it was stated, in order more strictly to define the position that the doctrines of ohe divine decrees and nredestinatipn were held in connection with the «n-eat truths, "That God was not will inc that any should perish," that salvation was provided sufficient for all, adapted to all and offered to all. Although the Con fession had been animadverted on, ho believed it to bo unsurpassed as a compen dium of Scriptural teaching. Theology was a progressive science but the Caching of Scrioture was plainly to the effect that there was an eternity of being for both the righteous and the wicked. The Rev Edward White, he understood, was' the leading representative of the conditional immorta htists, but on certain points the Auckland members of that body went much beyond him. He cited a case in which Mr White, wntjng in the "Homiletic Magazine" for October, 1885 quotes Dean Alford approvingly, where Jβ says, speaking of tfie text in U Peter ii, 12, "I understand these words to cay that our Lord, in His disem bodied state, did go to the place o* departed spirits, and did then com imence His work of redemption, preach SlvationT in fact, to the disembodied Ss of those who refused to obey te voice of God when the judgment ot t c flood was hanging over them." Mr Som xnervSle cited the passage, "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and I espFritofthebeastthatgoethdownward.'
