Special Disyateh to The Chicago Iribuns, New Yor, Jan. 27,.—Blr, Moulton concluded his evidence this morning. It was mainly m ro- ply to questions by which Mr. Tracy sought to eseapo from the position in which witnoes hind placed Lim by asserting that Mr. Tracy, a8 Mr. Beocher's couneol, had urged tho exclusion of certain private letters from Mr, Moulton’s ata:omont. Mrs. Martha A. Bradshaw was thon called, sn introduced —lotters_“ showing that Mr. Boecher advised ler, as woll ag others, to avoid any needless agitntion of tho scandal. Wm. I. Wost, of Plymouth Cbureb, was called to testify to tho fact that Mr. Beecher had angrily opposed the presentation of church charges against ‘Taco- doro Tilton. * ‘THR JAM. Tho snticipationa of tho appearance of new wituesses, and curiosity to know who they were to bo, a8 well oa to hear what they bad to say, filled tho court-room yostorday—as grent o crowd as that which, on tho firet days of Mr. «= Moulton’s testimony, mado tho room uncomfortable. On no day haw tho crowd baen greater or moro attentive. Possibly on none has it boen so undomonstrativo, and, at tho samo timo, more intensely interested, Asaconsequenco, there was perfect order, not- wilhetanding the crush, A few new faces ap- peared among tho andicnce. Mr. 3loulton’s or- doal asa witness cuded atnoon, Mr. Fullerton resigned him to tho bands of the opposing counsel fifteen miuutes aftor tho opening of Court, after having attempted only to gathor & fow fragmontary bity of testimony.’ Tho Tecross-examination was short, but it was also sharp, Myr. Tracy's questions wero prociso, and dolivored rapidly, and Mr. Moulton’s replios woro equally positive, Onoo, for instnnco, Mr. ‘Tracy asked whethor ho (Mr, Tracy) know what Mr. Moulton’a statomont to tho Commnittes was to bo before Mr. Moulton sppeared before the Committoo. 'No," answered tho witness, but you know what you wanted it to bo.” Gen. Tracy asked that the witnoss bo admonished for thus replying, but the Judge unhesitatingly rofusod, nayiug {that the witness bad beon tried and tortured for ton days by counsel on both sides, and bo should therefore be excused without any sort of ropri- mand. - ‘THE MOTTO OF THE MUTUAL FRIEND, When Mr. Tracy asked Moulton for his viows on the marriago rolation, there waa an ovidenco of merrimext on tho part of tho audionco, in apparent anticipation of somo elnguiar viows on the part of tho witness, but he roplied, unbesitatingly, in plain terms: “ Fidolity to your wife, your wife's fidelity to you. If you aro not faithful to your wife, you should bo punished eeveroly, If your wifo is not faithful to you, sho should bo punished oquatly sevorcly.” Of his views on divorce, Mr. Moul- ton said that they wore not fixed, but he did not now that he agreed altogether with Mr. ‘Lilton onthat subject, for he did not know Mr, ‘il ton’s views, UR, MOULTON GETS DOWN AND OUT. After hia examination, Mr. Moulton took a seat botwaen tho witness-stand and tho foroman of the jury, and thero sat until recess, Bir, Moulton was placod on the witness-chair two Wwocks ago to-day, and was under examination nearly oloven days, which amounts to saying that ho was angaged for very nearly forty-four hours in hearing questions and making replies. ‘MMS. DRADSIAW, ‘The eutranco of Mr. Morris hy way of a door leading into an anto-room of tho Court, a fow minnteu before noon, with a strango Jady at hia sido, cuused a marked seneation in the audienco, which was manifostod by tho visible utrotching of nocks and audible whisporings. Bho was pro- vided with » chair by the side of Mr. Tilton, but no eign of recognition passed betweon her and the plainti”, Mr. Beecher was abaout from the court-room, having gone to his honvo to earch for a lottor which tho opposing counsol Lad called for, but Mrs. Beech- er remained, and now gazed tixedly at tho lady, During tho tow concluding moments of Mr, Mouzton's testimony, this lady was tho principal object of intorest in the court-room, ond that in- tercut was heightoned when she was conducted to the witness-chuir, and gave her name, in low tones, aa Mrs. Martha A. Bradshaw. Mrs, Bradshaw is a plonsant-looking Indy of about 45 years of age, vory quiet” and tetiring in ler manner, and ovidently folt the embarrassinont of her position. Sho way dreesed plainly in bleck, and enveloped ina Ulack cashmere shawl, According to her testi- mony, she has been member of Plymouth Church, and has known Mr, Beecher for twouty- two yeurs, and has beon acquaitited with Mfr, aud Ars, ‘Tilton for nearly as long a time. NONE KNEW HER BUT TO LOY HER, Of tho latter, witnous had occasion to say that abo was @ most refined and sweot-minded woman, whom no one could know without loy- ing. As ubo spoko these words, tho yoico of witness, which had before been scarcely audible, sank to's whisper, aud her oyos filled with tears. During her examination, she aat almost immova- ble, with dowacast and toarful eyes, but sho gave her - testimony clearly, | snd without hesitation. In tho varions statements, aud in the oponing addross of Mr. Morrla, great stress wes Isid upon the evidence which Mra, Bradehaw was expected to givo, and, frum time to time pending tho trial, 1¢ bad beon hinted that sho would add inportant documontary testimony to the case in favarof Mr. Tilton. Whon, there- fore, the counsel, after & few preliminary ques- ona establishing her intimacy with both partios to the sult, brought outthe fact that she had had. correspondence with Mr, Heecber on the subjoct, as well os.» verbal statemont from Mr, ‘Tilton accusing Mr. Boocher, it was at once au- ticipated that a communication very damaging to the latter waa about to be produced. Auticipa- tions thus fogniened wero naturally disap ott od at the disclosures which followed. Her letter to Mr. Beecher proved to bo one saking advice CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1875. as to what ho should do in reply to the summona of the Church Gommit- too which wae to try the * West charges” againnt Mr. Tilton for slandoring Mr. Beecher, and ask- ing him to deny Mr. Tilton’s etory to her, that aho might atato what alo would ho compelled to tell the Committee. ‘Throughout the iolter thoro io no intimation that sho helaved Mr. ‘Tilten's story, or doubted Mr, Beecher'a answors or his innocence. Sho assorted, on the contrary, that sho could not but hellove they had been calumniated, and, morcover, added that Mra. Til- ton, while joining in her husband's advice not to appear boforn the Committco as 8 witness against Mr. Tilton, had made no canfersian of her guilt. Mr, Beecher’s reply proved to bo an- other of many Jettors counselling silenco as the bost method of kitling slandors. MAY, BRADAMAW'S TESTIMONY SETTLES THR CARE ACI WAY, An an illtstration of how differently the now mattor impressed tho lawyoers, tt may bo sald that two of plaintiff's counsel united in de- claring that, thera was nothing elvo in tho cave, this correspondence — would bo conclusive of Mr. DBoecher's guilt, while, on the other hand, one of Beocher'a tnw- yor's said bis sido fait ptronger for tho evidence. MR, WEST SLECIFIEA, William F. West, formerly Deacon of Ply- mouth Church, and the porson who made tho charges against Thoodoro Tilton as a member of the Church, was tho first witness examined after the recoas, Mr. West is a mild-looking gentlomun of about 40 yonrs. Hisexamination waa inainly regarding tho manner of his placing his chargosagaiust Mr. Tilton before the Church, and regarding conversations with Mr, Loecher, at which the latter, the witness eaid, tried to make him withdraw or postpone the charyes. THE LAWYENS DO THE LAST ACT. Franldin B. Woodruff, partner of Mr, Moulton, was called at hall-past 3 o'clock, but, after auk- ing hin a few formal quostons, counse) became engarod In an excited debate an to whather the witness should bo allowed to give o detailed ac- count of meotings betwoou Mr. Tracy, Mr. Moul- tov, and himself, at which ‘Mr, oecher waa not present. The councel for the prosecution argued that Mr. Tracy was 8 representative of Mr, Beocher at these meotings, and that Mr. Beocher’s affairs woro the subject discussed nt thom. But the lawyera of Mr. Beecher con- tended thal tho meetings wero held for tho pur- oxo of devising n remody for the injury that Francia D, Moulton’s connection with tho scan- dal was alleged to be doing tho firm. Whilo that discussion was in progress, {he hour of 4 arrived, and the Court adjourned, "0 the Associated 2'xex9,) THE USUAL ATTENDANCE. New Yonk, Jan. 27.—The suit of Theodore Tilton against tho Rev, Honry Ward Beechor was resumed thia morning promptly at it o'clock, be- foro tho naual crowd in the Brooklyn City Court. ‘Two ladios, who entered with tho sssistant- pastor, took the chairs heretofore occupied by Mra. Tilton and her frionds. PRELIMINATY REMARKS. Judge Neilson admonished the counsel that 8 great deal of time was spout in arguments, which greatly delayed the trial, and asked them to ailrise him when thoy dosire to arguo avy aint. i Mr. Evarts explained, supported by ox-Jndgo Fullerton, that tue examination of tho witness yostorday, after ko iad beon informed of tho death of his mother, was at bts own (witnose’) request. MOULTON RESUMES. Tho redirect oxaimiuation of Moulton was re- sumed, and he deposed that at nono of his intor- viows with Becchor did he deny the charges of adultery with Mrs. Tilton. Witness’ attoation wascalied to tho letter written Dec. 26, 1870, and ho was aeked if be had scen this letter bor fore it was given him. He roplied ho had not, Ex-Judge Fullerton said theso were all tho questions he und to ask tha witness. | At this point Beecher and his wifo arrived, and took thoir customary seats, CHOBI-EXAMINED BY GEN. TRACY. Witness was then crose-oxamined by Gen. Tracy, and said: Tho speech made by Theodora Tilton at the Steinway-Lall mecting was not called,to my mind sinco about a fortnight after it was delivered, until I repeated 1t from recol- lection. Here witness’ attention was called to n report of tho epeech in tho World, and ho ro- plied it was like tho spoech made by Mr. Tilton, I think it dufors from tho original in having nothing about ‘freedom of epecch.” Still, on reading the spooch, witnosa eaid: I do not ro- momber him saying that ho believed in her, but Ido recollect tho words, ‘*vouch for hor ;" and Ido not romomber tho hissos which are here, I do not remember btm saying that she would ad- dreps them on tho subject of ‘social freedom,” I dictuted tho specch to Mr. White, who wroto it down, and I kept the manuscript.

Tracy) desired him not to give to the Committee wore uot tho letters of Mra, Hooker—s lotter of John Ifooker to his wifo, anda lottor of Thomas Beecher to hissieter, Witneus roplied, I think not.

Witness continued: I am not spread on tho subject of divorce, but have read the Goldcn Age articles on it, {could not tell Mr, ‘Tiltou's son. timents on the subject, Gen, Tracy here announced that these wore all the-squestions ho desirod to ask, TESTIMONY OF MItS, DRADBITAY. Ex-Judge Morris now left the room, and soon returned with a lady, said to bo Mrs. Bradshaw, who took a seat fosida tho ecunsel for tho prosecution, Witness (Moulton) was asked and explained a meeting hold at his house, Lt was connected with an interview of tho previous day at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, which was to determine what documents shoutd be presunted before tho Comnutteo, Moulton thon vacated tho witness-chair, and Mrs. Bradahaw was callod, Sue gave ner name as Margarot A.

Aftor the recoss, ox-Judga Fullortan called William I. West to the stand.

I told him Tilton was. ® responsible pordon, and that if he put forth theso stories he should bo exnolled from the chureh, No card was published, to my Knowledge, in. the Golden Age denying thexo charges, ‘Tha next interview with Beecher was on the 27th of June, 1873, when L made charges against Tilton before the Pxamining Committes, The amended charges woe placed before the Committes on July }, 15 When my charges wore submitted to tho Committee, Boccher said tome that I was taking tho right course, but ho thought this was not tho propor timo to submit tho charges, 28 many of the members wore absent in the country.

" Spectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Brdounyy, N, ¥., Jan. 21.—This is our month Nivose, to judge from the abuodant—nay, the suporabundant—snows which havo fallen upon our vexed community, During the whole poriod of Moulton’s cross-oxamination, the skies havo beon weoping, ono day with o noiselesscataclyam ‘of snow, another with forco aud polting ehow- ors of sleot and rain, And that is why, it may be, that so mauy dismal faces, so many marks of deop depression, fill the ampbithaatre in which Eyarta and Beach, Tracy and Fullerton, Shear- man and Moirix, two and two, aro doing yao- man’s work and wrestling before tho curiously indifferent oyos of Christendom. By ‘Tuesday wo aru promived THE RELEASE OE MOULTON from the uusucceastul cork-scrawing of Tracy, upon which surronder the prosecution intend to collect his surviving sonsca and remold them in tho Tilton bohalf. Tho fow spparent dis- cropancies which tho crogs-oxamination estab- iebed, Fullorton’s sharp wit will probably dissi- nd, after a coat or two of the varnish “ro- this historical wituoss will gleam with- out acrack or a thumb-mark upon tho enamel of hia testimouy. Such permanent glazo sa Moulton has brought out of tho oven with bim— of which oven tho furnaces Were of a fury supra- Babylonian—must surely ast bim a lifetime, and afterwards beam through the murk of tradi- tion like a shining monument. At all oventu, so far thoro is no flaw in it upon which the Tracy microscope could be satisfactorily focused, When Moulton stops down and out from the rotatory chair iu which he has posed himee!f five hour a day for a week and a half, either Frank Carpenter or Theodore Tilton will be promoted to that ponitential scat, Despité the injurious effect of such a dovice upon tho jury, there is no doubt that the dofense will DESPERATELY RESIST tho telling of his own «tory by Tilton. . It has beon announced by Shearman that the plaintiff will not bo permitted to tuo the stand, aulans Judge Neilyon's shrewd Scotch head shall entor- tain the potion of ordering to the contrary. ‘Thoro will be a stubborn fight ovep’ this quos- tion, and the fros have beon blazing undor Evarts’ boilers fur a woek, Sach’ a load of steam as that clanking engina: of the law can carry will all bo oxpended in the prospective col- lision, It will be tho climax of the struggle, and the ox-Arbitrator must rush bis client through or burst. ‘That he will entor the hopeless crash with a vast explosion of force, I infor from the simmerlogs anda sputterings which tell of » ragivg aud swelling preparation within him, Bomobody ‘will, in Wilkeson's expressive plraso, keep company with the “Life of Chriut” by “going CED HICUUR THAN A KITE," if all my sugurios are tultilled. That stern old Governor, the Judge, will bang on to the safoty- valve and go aloft with the crowd, tuther thin budgo a judicial inch of his prerogative. ‘I'he tragedy depends upon the exiatonce of an outlot for Livarts' dynamite tomper. If there be none such, he will blow both hinwelf and his case out of court, and thoro will bo no doad or wounded to pigk up. Bo constam has been tho stream of adverto rulings and othor disappointmonts, and with euch strange ill-grace has Evacta received thom, that I look every day for tho catastrophe which I have outliued. Jf, indeed, on or about Friday noxt, Frank Carpenter takes tho stand instead of ‘Tilton, then the faith{ul are likely to be surprieed by a reat shook. ‘ho Beocherlan attorneye—notably he diligent Shearman—bavo all along blown upon their horas derisive tow to the conilng witness, hailing him In advance as an addle- pated person, a mirchievour, intormoddiing vis- iunary, a transpsrent jolly-fieh of a man, shak- on by hia own indecision, and trembling with inental infirmity.
