Special Diozatch to The Cnicago Tribune, New York, Jan. 28.—Tho testimony of Franklin Woodruff was finally admitted by Judgo Neilson, 1¢ was not of an important character, excopt a6 containing statement by tho witnesy to the offect that Mr. Tilton hod told him that Mr. Boccher had been guilty of adultery, buthad not given the namo of any woman, Mr. Tilton was thon called and took tho stand, but objection wae mado to his being sworn, Along discnesion followed, occupying tho rest of the day, andit will bo resumed to-morrow. Ithas boon known for days that Mr. Tilton would bo called aso wituess, and it was antici- pated that no effort would be left untried to pre- vont his acceptance asa competent person to tostify. Proparations for the engagement Lavo been going on over since tho trial bogan, both by plaintiff's and dofondant’s Inwyers, Tho Jatter have been oxpectant all this week, ready for any attompted surprise, os it waa not koowa when Mr. Moulton's testimony would bo concluded, nor who would follow him, ‘Tho first indication of tho approaching contoxt, yesterday, was tho entrance of a lawyer's clerk, with hia arms full of bulky law-books. Hostill- ties woro fairly openod soon after noon, Mr. Woodruff had stepped down from tho witness chair, snd there was a burried consultation among flaintilf’s counsel. ‘Thon, suddenly, at a sign from Mr. Fullerton, Mr. ‘Tilton arose from his seat and stopped quickly to tho vacant chair amid tho sarprised murmurs of tho audienco, “T offer Mr. Tilton as a witness,” said F'otlor- ton, quietly. “But, stop s momont!” expostulated Afr. Evatts, "Wo object to him.” Thon followed a momontary scono of confa- sion in tho spaco assigned to the lavyors, Clerks and counsel sprang up and began the removal of logal volumes from the floor to tables, upon which they wore sproad opon at solected places, Lawyers on* cach aide consulted among thom- solves earnestly, Jurymen wearily changed. their positiona on tholr chairs, and the audienco sat almost breathless, craning thelr nocks and awaiting eagerly tho firat note of the struggle, Without formality MIN, EVARTS BEGAN HIS ARGUMENT against the competency of str. Tilton au 8 wit- ness, In the moantimo, the plaintiff sat in the witness-chair, squarely facing tho audicnce for the first me since the boginning of the trial, and therofore the object of goncral observation, He had not romoved his overcoat, which ho woro thrown open looscly, and he slso continued to wear gloves, aa ho usually does in the court. room. Mr, Evarta began the argument nt 32:10, and bad not concluded at recous (1 o'clock), To was earnest and eloquont, and tho jury and audionco listened with groat attontion, While ho was spoukiug, fis associates, Meuera, Tracy aud Shearman, sat bobiud, listening at- tontively, and with looks of perfect contidonce in their leader on thoir faces, ‘tle other coun- sel busied themsolves getting ready logal mu- thorities to bo introduced by Lvarts, and it wos evident that the defense ‘wore fully propared for tho issuo, Durlvg tho ad- dress Boach was occupiod in noting various au- thorities to bo used, and Gen.

His placid faco was portectly ex- pressionless whon Mr, Evarts asked, in ringing tones, ‘Can you image tho basenons that could bring husband into court after his haying re- ccived tho confeasion and pardoned it, and jived with hia wife yoars in that relation?” lo cexs camo, and Evarts was not dono, Tho interval over, ho resumod, but the witness chair = was vacant, ‘and tr, Tilton wat besido his counsel, Evarta took up all the bearings of tho law on the marriage rola- tion, quoting o8 authority tho Jaws of England, Now York State, and other States, Mis principal Arguinent was based ou tho statute of 1867 ro- garding husband and wifo ay witneaues, During the address, which lasted noarly two hours, there wore soveral faint expressions of an inclination to applaud among the upecta- tors, but, with that excoption, porfect quict reigned, and the last hour of Evarts' arguinont was without intorruption. Ithad been taken for sranted that Slr, Beach would roply to Evarte, And it was thoreforo a surprise whon Gen, Pryor aroso, bowed to the Court, and prococded to speak. Up to [this time, don, Pryor had vot taken an activo public part in tho caro, aud thore Wau considerable curiosity to hear hin. GEN, PRYOK's WAY, Itdid not take many moments to seo that he was, an qloquent orator.

CHICAGO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1875, miraton of Franklin Woodrnft’s testimony relat- ing ton meeting ot which Mr, Beecher was nob present. ‘The decixion was postponed to this morning. Judge Neilson said that ho lad do- cided to admit tho testimony objected to by tho defonre, Mr. W. therefore reauined jis seatin tho witners-chair. and Judgo Fullerton econtin- wed tho examination, A atrong light was turnea upon ‘Tracy's relations to tho partios in the suit. Ho was tod as saying to hin oftico, sitor’ tho publication of the scandal in November, 1872, that, though he didn’t recommend lying, it was in this caso justifiable, Ho advised silence, and proposed that Moniton and ‘Tilton #hould yo to Rurope. Mr. Woodruff nlao testificd that Sir. ‘Tracy told Tilton thar, in cases Jawsuit nhould arivo hetween Beecher nnd Tilton, ho would not appene for tho former, A part of Woodrnt's testimony which attracted con- siderablo attentiony was tho — statement that Mr, Tilton told Mr, ‘Tracy that tho crtma with which ho charged Beecher was adultery, but that the woman wee not named. Tracy con- ducted the crous-oxamination, entering fully in- tocvente befare briofly parrated by Woodrul. Judge Neilson hol exziained previously that it mizht not be best to enter into any explanation of Tracy's professional conduct, aa he was not on trialand needed no vindication, and, there- fore, that subject was vot presued further than (Fae novessary, vutne Aasoctated Prena.) MINANY CONTROVERSY. New Your, Jan, 2%.—Thers was the usnal crowd at tho Lilton-Beecher trial to-day. ‘Tho counsel for the principals were on hand early. Judge Neilson, upon the opening of tho Court, pave hikdecision on the point raised yesterday by Mr, Livarta ag to Mr. Woodruff gi a rela- tion of what occurred at an interview between Geou. Tracy, Mr. Moulton, and huinself, when Mr. eceber was not. present. dudgo ‘Neileon said ho had oxamiucd the authorities on the enbjoct, and ruled that witness might relate all that oc curred at the interview. ‘Tho attention of tho Court was called to a pamphlet issued from the Tribune oftice, en- titled “Part 1, of the Oficial Report of tho Tilton-Beecher, ‘Trial.”” Judge Fullerton fated that, instead of having the ovidencs only on’ trial, there were comments relating to Monlton and the counsel. Mr, Beach paid an eloquent tribute to Moulton as withers, and Mr. Evarty in turn aaid they wero not actors ona rtaye. dudge Noileon said ho would confer with tho publishers about thin matter, FRANK R, WOODUUTT's TESTIMONY.

Croas-examined : L introduced Moulton to you (Tracy) on that oceasion, I think you asked Mr, Moulton if the ecandal rosted on ‘anythivg otxe but tho letter of contrition and other papers, and ho said that thera also remained the state- ment mnde by Mra, ‘Vilton to her husband. Ido not recollect being present on any other occasion in tho study then ab this interview. I havo hoard the “True Story "read. ‘Tho interview, I think, begaa avout £ or 6 o'clock in the after- noon, and ended about 10 nt ght. Lthink wo had suppor, whieh larted about av hour, and the balance of tho time waa spent in dikcussing tho Woodhull scandal. ‘Chis pistol scene camo un for discuecion, and Moulton said it was incor: rectly reported thero. I think you said to Moul- fon that the part of tho story ich rotatad to itn could bo refuted, and ¥° think you read the story paragraph by paragraph. f do not romem- bor that Moulton, at that interview, denied tell- ing this story to Mra. Wooduull, nor did he ad- mit having told it, Counsel read portions of the Woodhull article, and asked tho witness if Maulton domed telling them to Mrs. Woodhult at thut inlorview, Tho witness reptiod that ho had no remcm- branco of tho parts of the acandal read, us Le took no interest whon they were discussed ut that intorview. I do not think you adviced Moulton to douy the Woodhull card, in so far aa it related to him. I was iu tho habit of going to Moulton's in 1871, Imet Tilton there, Io was out of employment and wished to ptart « paper, and said that $15,000 or $20,000 would be enough. tostart with, die announced that ho was going to start it, and I advanced then €3,000. ‘Thora was about 12,000 subscribed. I eubseribed either 85,000 or $6,000. I paid $1,600 and got his note for that amount, Isaw Mr. Southwiek and told bio about it, I havo nover paid tho $3,000, but was released from it, CAN TILTON TESTIFY? This concluded the tostimony of Woodrutt, and ex-Judge Fullerton called ‘Theodore ‘Tilton, who took the chair. Mr, Evarts objected to Tilton being sworn, and mado a long argument. Counsol mai: tained chiefly thav ail the authorities were against tho right of the hushand or wifo teutifying for or against each other, us their rights aud privi- loges wore equal ; and innovation destroyed nnd deiiled the privacy and sanctity of tho marriago. rolation. Mr. Evarts read from sevoral eminent jurists in support of hia position. Ho claimod xenorally that if such a rule wore adopted per- jury and violation of the nearest and tie dearest relations of confidence would follow. ‘tho Jaw,” said Mr. kvarts, “throws around this rreat civil systom of domestic inviolability tho Vure-robed figure of silenco aud secrecy. It doos nothing by halves ; it is completo, thorough, at and states facts ao that all can undor- etund,” Gen, Pryor argued on behalf of the prorceution, aud snid he woukl gdhoro sti to the point in disputo, ‘Lhe question was this: Wav a plaiutit? in un action a competent witnoss in bis own bo- half, ‘Tho common law oxcluded all partics in a suitin which they were interested.
