Sectat Dispach to The Chicago Tribune, Bnoonsyy, N. ¥., Feb, 2.—If the evidence of Tilton yesterday was terrible mental lacoration for Boocher, that of to-day must havo been 8 atill moro oxquisite pang. Tho threshold only of Tilton’s story was crossed yosterdsy, and to- day tho world ras shown from chamber to cham- ber in bis honee of horrors. An alr of almost hopeloss solemnity found expression in Becchor’s faco. Ho looked like a Stato criminal arraigned for high treason, Ho never smilod; talked lit- tle; wrote none atall; and wes evidently tho subjoctof s hundred contending emotions, Mrs, “ton had a hectic Muah on her checks,—tho token of somo consuming fovor; and Mra. Beechor glanced at her husband's enemy stonily asever, Gon. Tracy was absont, engaged, it is enid, in preparing the opening spoech for the defonae. THE COUNT JOANNES. ‘The proceodings to-day were much enlivoned by tho uncxpected appearance of George, Count Joannes. Ho sat with the reporters, baleful frown upon his face, and hia wig glistened with inexpensive unguents, Tho Judgo regarded him with marked annoyance, while Tilton's law- yor laughed st the ludicrous result of Evarte’ unfortunate allusion to tho Count in yesterday's proceedings. Tho noblo George delivered bim- self of a charactoristically extravagaut specch, in which Beocher, Evarts, Porter, and the Judgo himeelf wore all claimed as personal friends, aud during which Beecher ontored. The grost de- fendant wes mach puzzled by the Count’s ap- pearance, that distinguished momber of the no- bility being a atranger to him, LITTLE RALPH'S PARENTAGE. ‘Tilton's testimony was continuously dramatio. Thero was a deathly hush whon the witness, mith s jerky voice, unfolded the history of tho torrible meeting with Beecher to decido the queation of Httle Talph's legitimacy, A cynical incredulity, if it can bo so callod, possossed every faco aa the dotaits of that unparalleled in- terviow wero related, Beecher looked palsied by shamo and ovguish, a crimson flush as usual on his features, and be sat bolt upright, in deviation from his ordinary leaning, nogligoo posture. Mrs, Beecher smiled with clinched teoth. Mrs. ‘Vilton screened her face with a fan ; the other Iadics bent thoir heads. A gonoral sigh of rolief ran a d the audience when tho doscription of that fearful dobate was finishod. TILTON’S RELATIONS TO THE WOODUULL AND BOWEN. The next point In Tilton’s testimony was a definition of bis relations to tha Woodhull. ‘This seomod like broad comody sfter the tragical foaturcs of tho proceding epliods, Mrs. Tilton Spparcotly enjoyed the suggestion that she was once Jooked upon as an effectual agont to re- strain Woodhull, Bhe put her fan up to her face and laughed almost merrily. Boocher pro- sorved a serious expression, but his wife joined Mrs, Tilton in a smilo, though 1t was a emile of bitterness. Noxt in dramatic sequence camo Tilton'a account or his dealings with Mr. Bowen. Yn thia as in every other case he faced the jury and told his story tothom point blank, Mr, Fullerton standing by as a sort of guardian, and protecting him from the objections of Mr, Evarte, which were few and far bo- tween. e THE TWO BENSATIONS OF THE MORNING were of no amall magnitude, ‘he frst was ef- fected by Tilton’a startling story of the intor- view with Beecher to decldo the question of littio Ralph's paternity. The second, which was equal- ly notable, was the echo of Tilton’s statement that, whilo he had nojdefense to offer for his pro- cautionary alliance with Woodhull, yot Boscher was as responsible for it as himself, Beecher gave noeign, but the sudience murmured its amazement. ‘TR® LADIES IM COURT. The attendance after recess was as large and as enthusiastic a8 aver. Tilton ontered the court quite early, aud walked to theehalr, in which he at once eat down, Mr. and Mrs, Beecher did nat arrivo until much Inter. They satdown with Mr, Edward, who attends tho proceedings constantly. Two eldorly ladies oo- cupied prominent places in the court. The sil. very hair and matronly aspoct of one of them created wuspicion, erroneous however, that Mra. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was present. Ono of the most singular and discreditable foatures of today's proceedings was the presence of ao many females. More divgusting matter eutered upon the record than on any other day, and yot there wore three more women than usual. One of these heroic persons stood upon achalr in the side door, and, utterly indifferent to thebold stare of the spectators, listened, open-mouthed: aud smiling, to the revolting history, DEFENDANT AND PLAINTIFE, Beecher's solemn, hopeless appoarance to-day Ia the subject of debate.” Throe unexpected documents were sprung upon the dofepse, and the theory of insiders seems to be that more are coming. A groat deal cf disappointment waa docasiaged CHICAGO, WEDNE SDAY FEBRUARY 3, we Chitage Daily Cribune. , 1875. by Tilton’s manner of piving evidence. Ho shows nove of the mental poise and control which made Moulton romarkable, but ta very nervotts, and profuse bath in apache and gorture. ‘Ilia. language ja some- times redundant, and freqttently needa sinking ont of the evidence, = oT can only o;igrammatize his methods in the aconsation that ho "slop over." Ofcourse, luis great carnestnoss and intensity of feeling explain this. Parsions and einotions reprosacd, for yonra are flowing out botween his lips, and ovor sich a recthing torrent he would be more than man to exerciso control. Daring the afternoon scaston the audience wan subjected to A VIOLENT BENSATION Ly Tilton'n statement that ho onc threatoned to shout Hoecber dead if ha did not refign at a criris likely to bring shame upon Mrs. Tilton, Jt was tho sovercat shock of the day to Beccher. His face iramediately filled with purple blood. ‘Tytton's intensity, though promising finely for the cross-oxaminers, makes en impression dt the jury, whom he faces constantly, emphasiz~ ing his testimony with gestures sud movements of the head. CONBTRUCTING A NARRATIVE. i Tho direct oxamination of Tilton hae been cumulative. Every interview with Beecher, orery incident germane to the case, every sub- ject that could be introducod to tho plaintift's advantago—ali have beon brought out in his- toric succession. ‘The testimony to-day con- sisted, thorofore, in tho construction of a nar- rativo instead of tho development of a thoory. ‘Lhe first tory of the structure was tho hideons description of the interview betweon Tilton and Beechor to settle the paternity of Httle Ralph ‘Tilton. Tho profoundest impression to which tho ordinary miud is subject was offocted upon tho andience by tho recilal of that unimaginablo econo. Yas’ horror made all who hosrd it hold their — broath. Certainly never before did s putative father nold consultation with lis wife's seducer to decido for or against tho bastardy of his own child, and afterwards repeat tho tertibte detnils of that consultation toan astounded world. From this rovolting narrative Mr. Fullerton lod tho witness to another Iesa stupendous incident. At his sng- gestion, Tilton explained how Woodhull con- vineed lim sho waa in partial possession of bis and Beecher's secret; how ho consnited Moulton aa to the most judicious way to silonce her; how Moulton advised constant sasociation with her ; how, with that dosign, bo drow up hor fa- moue appeal to Congress ; how sho wae recoived into hia own and Moulton’s houses; how their two wives firat recoiled from the adyenturoas, and then patronized her to protect their common sccret; how ho presided at tie Steinway Hall mooting at which Woodhull spote, becauso no other mon would undertako the responsibility which ke rashly sasumed to keep ber com- plaisant; bow ho camo to write hor life; how sho violated the pledge of silence by tho publi- cation of tho article entittied "Tit for Tat"; how he immodiatoly broke with hor; and, last of all, how Béech- er chided bim for eeparating from her fortunes and withdrawing bis controlling tn- dluence from over her. The next link in ‘THU CATENA OF EVIDENCE was the description of tho interview with Beecher in which tho advisability of Tilton’s re~ tirement from Plymouth Church was stiongly urged by tho former and till more stoutly re- siated by the lattor. From this bo procacded to explain his relations to Bowon, incidentally sur- prising the defense, as well as the gaping crowd of spectatora, by telling how Oliver vohuson as- sisted him in drawing up that famous Bowen Sottor. The morning session concluded with the etory of Tilton’s indignant refusal to write a card of personal vindication touching the Woodhull's scandal of 1872, tho refusal boing based on tho |, ground that it was unnecessary to vindicate him- wolf, sinco the scandal imposched only his wife and Beacher. He insisted that tho responsibil- ity of donia! should rest upon the Iattor. Alter recess, still in bistorie succession, he told how Mrs. Isabella Hooker wrote to her brothor ond enjoined him to confess the crimo from Plymouth pulpit, offering to conduct tho evening services on the Sunday upon which he would fulfill hor mandate. Next in ordor, ho corroborated one of my re- ports to you by quoting Beecher to the effect that Bowon only signed the tripartite agreement at H, B, Cleflin’s personel roquost. In rolating the consoquencoa of the surreptitious publica- tion of that agronmont, ho told how le announe- ed to Beocher his intention to rotiave himeolf of the odium of having slandered Boechor, by pub- ishing iu bie defenao the Jottor of contrition n step ho afterwards took in responeo to Dr. Bacon's totter. Beocher threatened to resign at once from Plymouth Church, upon which Tilton inatructed Moulton to teli Beochor that if ho re- signed his ministry at that crivie, flinging that shadow on his (Tilton’s) family, he would shoot him down iu tho street, DEECHER'S FACE was a8 Ilvid ap the face of a corpee when the menaco was repeatedte tho jury, while the wholo Budianco rustled with amszoment bordering upon unboliof, Tho description of tho circum- stances which led to tho meeting of Plymouth Church at which Tilton was dropped from its rolla brought tho testimony down to the hour of adjournment, In one of his Ictters to an officor of the Churob, he plainly said that ho dosired to ‘be aakad at that meoting if he had epoken falue- Jy of Boschor. Anybody outside of Plymouth Church would have smelt a rat of no inconsiderable magnitude in the word “falsely,” and would have tried to unearth the lurking vermio, unlors, indeed, tho exhuma- tion was likely to breod a pestilonce in church, Tilton attended mosting and asked Beschor if ho had elenderod him. Beecher is upon the records a second time oa having replied No. The heathon audioncs chuckled to-day at tho trana- parent finding which unanimously decided not to press Tilton too hard, but, Dogberry-like, let him go on'the easiest technical excuse, and then, calling the watch togother, thanked God they wero rid of euch # villain. Docton Syntax. es FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. MR, BEECHER #URE ADOUT BALTHL Special Lnapatch to The Chicago Hribune, New Youx, Feb. 2.~Mr. Titton occupied the witnoss-chair all day to-day in the trial of his caso against Mr. Beochar. He testified regard- ing his connection with Mra, Woodhull ; alsa to his rolations with Plymouth Church, aud about tho tripartite covenant, All the ovents of 1872 and those of part of 1879 were fully narrated. Tho examination of Mr. Tilton wilt be continued to-morrow. ‘Tho trial dragged. Mr. Tilton os- condod the witness-stand at oxactly 11 o'clock, sud took up the thread of the story where ithad been dropped the night bofors, Ho began with the varration of an fntorview in Yob- ruary, 1873, whon Mr. Beocher, according to the witness, went to Mr. Tilton's house and converged in relation to the supposed shadow ‘over the life of the boy Ralph. Mr. Tilton says that Mr. Boecher posltively assurod him that there was no shadow, and the interview closod amicably. The plaintiff described fully his rela- tions to Mrs. Woodhull,efrom the beginning of his scquaiutance with her, soon afer the publil- cation of tho World articlo, till their friendship was broken through disagroomeat. Moultou's statomont that the woman was dangorous, and that she should be dealt goutly with, was ex- plained. The full story of the com- Position and revision of Mra. Wood- bull's blograpby was wade public for tho fizgt thas, Mr, Tiltom sald that the woman's husband wrote it. She brought it to him, and avked him to rewrito it. Ife did so. teaviner ont many extravagant statements; but Mire. Wood- hull was diseatistled. TNE DIFFIDENCE OF TILE WOODTIULL, Ble wanted him to putin the incident of hor raising a child from the dead. Without that ins cidont, alo waid, the boox would be the play of “Hamlet,” with /anrlcbloft out, Bhe a so wante ed itwriton that Demouthenes communicated to the world through hor, Tho cir cumetancea which led Mr. Tilton to pre- sido at the Steinway Hall meeting were narrated, and witness atated that tho direct caune of bis doing so was that Mre. Woodhull was going on tho stage alone, saying that there was no man. bravocnough to go withher, Mr. Tilton evidently does not court the friendship of Mrs. Woodhull, for ho incidentally referred to ber lecture on finance as harmlesa and stupid, Much of tho tentimony tended to excuro Mr, ‘Tilton's connec: tion with Mrs. Woodhult, and, tn concluding hia evidence regarding her, the witners {urnod sharply upon the jury and anid: “I sey before God that Mr. Beecher ia as much to blame for my connection with Mire. Woodhull as Zam my- nell.” THE ONIND, AOATN. Tho wearlsome story of tho arbitration pro- ceadings between Br. Bowen and M:, Tilton was repeated, and Mr. Fullerton read very effectively an article of Mr, Beecher in the Christian Union published about that timo, in which Mr. Tilton wag referrod to ass brilliant young writer and orator, ‘Tbe reading ecemed to affect Mr. Tilton, for ho closed lus eyes and the tears roiled down his cheake. Mr; ‘lilton noxt explained tho cir- cumstances of his mombership in Plymouth Church, aud why bo severed the connection. After rocess, the various interviews and compli cations of 1872 were described. Tho letters aud cards, published ond not published conversations, intorviewn, covenants, ete, were given entiro or in fragmonts, or meroly referred so. At tho mecting held late in 1872, at which Mosars. Moulton, Woodruif, Tracy, aod Tilton, and Mr. Beecher were prew- ont, Mr, ‘fracy as represented as promixing ‘Mr. Tilton, as a gentleman and a Jawyer, that he would not appear for Beocher in cago litigation arose between tho latter and Mr, Tilton. A new document was added to the scandal-literature in the form of card written by Mr. Beechor, denying in emphatic terms tho crime of which he hed teon nccused. Mr. Tilton said that card was satiefactory toMr. Moulton, “rs, Tilton, and bimeolf, but Mr. Beecher, for 20mo reason, did not publish it, The time of the publication of the tripartite agreement, on Decoration-Day in 1973, wos at Jongth reached, snd Mr. ‘Tilton anid that ho had noting to do sith having it printed. ‘That pub- hreation was followed by tho printing of o card by Mr. Beechar in the Brooklyn Zagle, mentioning Mr. ‘Tilton in connection with his accnaors. Mr. Tilton then, he ways, wrote a card vin- dicating bimeclf, and eigned with Mr. Teccher'a namo. Hoe sent it to the Tlymouth pastor, and it was also published, About this time,—in Juno, 1873,—ac- cording to witnous, there was a stormy interview botweon himself aud Mr. Moulton, aftor ho had learned that Mr. Boocher had oxpreseod an in~ tention to resign from Plymouth Church. Mr. ‘Tilton said he was very angry, and told Mr. Moulton that if Mr. Beechor resigned at that timo, thus reflecting on the children of tho wit- ness, ho (Tilton) would shoot Mr. Beochor. The charges of Mr. West againat Mr. Tilton as a momber of Plymowdth Oburch for slander- ing the pastor worgy fully reviewed, and oo- eutplod ucstly all tha last hour of tho day's proceedings. In connection with that subject, the lettor written by Mr. Tilton to Samuel E. Beecher, a member of tho Examining Commit- tea (jnat before the meeting of the church was beld'st which Mr. Tilton'’s name was droppad from tho rolls), was‘ introduced and read. In this Mr, ‘Tilton wrote that ho had not accused Mr, Beecher falsely. ADJOURNMENT. Immodiately aftor this part of tho examina- tion Lad beon concluded, Mr. Fallorton laugh- ingly remarked that « motion to adjourn was always in order, and, as it was then soveral min- utes after 4, Judge Noilson ended the day's pro- ceedings. ‘TILTON QLTTING CONTROL OF HIMGELY. Mr. Tilton's bearing on the witcess-stand was siich yesterday that it leaves no doubt that he waa nervous on the first day of bis examluation. Tho Surried and somewhat awkward manner exhibited an Monday gave placo to a coalnors and ease during the last two hours of yeetarday's aeusion, though bis confidenco is yery ditfereut from that shown by Mr. Moulton. Tho Jattor’s reylies were short avd crisp, Mr. Tiltou’s ase longer ond fuller, but he talke slowly and with great earnestness, Mr. Moulton rested easily Pace in lis chair; Mr, Tilton half sises with in- pe and emphasizes his words with a movo- ont of his head. Mr. Moulton seemed candid. and familiar; Mr. Tilton is comparatively dis- tant and dignitiod. THE CROSG-EXAMINATION OF TILTON DY EVAnTS PROBADLE. ‘The oxamination is closely watched by Bir. Evarts, who busily takes notes of the toatimony, and this would Keem to confirm the statement that that gentleman ig to conduct the crous- oxamiuation af Afr. Tilton. iy BNARLS, GUOWLS, AND EI-YIB, There was considorable disputing in tho after- noon, and it was not always carried on with guod fecling, for Judgo Futlerton la easily becomes aroused, and, when Me, Evarts takes a poeition, ho doos no: willingly withiraw fiom tt. Those gentlemun becamo engaged in a controveray about a matter which seomod to bo of minor importance, but each appeared determined to have the Inst word. Judge Noileon iinally tried to stop tho con- troversy, eaying thnt the dificulty was that both counsel were right. Mr. Beach, who, up to this fimo, had been & spectator of tho diepute, now excitodly arvse and said that Le would not be lectured by the counsel on the other side, If tho opposing counsel hud ideas of proprioty differout from their own, be might bettor practivo it.

Mi. TILTON'S NARMATIVE, New Yon, Feb, 2.—Tho second day of the fifth week of the Leecher-Tilton trial opeved this morning with as crowded ® court-room as ever, Mrs, Tilton and her female friends were in attondaxce. After the formal opening of the court, Mr. Tilton took the witness-chair and resumed his evidence, Ho said: The next interview with Mr. Beecher occurred shortly after-—I think tho second week in Febrasry—at my houee, at my request given to Mr. Moulton, I told bim, when ho came, that E wanted to know if he cont] toll mo with reference tothe httle boy Ralph, and ho eaid that the date fixed by Mrs. Tilton was tho correctone, Mr. Weechor axked mo tho date. I told him that Elizabeth had toid mo that the dateat which their criminal intimacy lad begun was the 10th of October. 1863; and ho paid he bad no remembrance of it, bat bo thought sho was right. Somo expressions of snd mirery fell from him, ond that war the end of tho interview. He went to Mr. Moulton’s house, This interviow Jasted ten or fifteen min- utes, Lrecollect the time of the publication of Mra. Woodbull’a card, I bad au interview nt Moulton’sa house with Beecher at tho time of that publication. I tuld him sho came to me at tho Golden Age office, and put the card in my hand, which she wished me to read.

She relsted othor particulare, which were gathered in her card of Noy. 2, 1872. Her othor story was that I had discovered her intimacy, and Ibad used personal vioienco to hor; had taken the wedding ting of her and gota itin tho enth ‘ith my heel. I told sechor that Moulton aud 1 wont to Mra. Wood- bull's bougo about the matter, and had an inter- view with her. Sho had referred only slightly to the scandal, and Mr. Moulton admovishod her that she ehould not.epeak iltof Mrs, Tilton. Afr. Moulton told mo aftor, whom comiug away, that he thought this woman was not in her nght mind, and it was from that time that Moulton. Beechor and mysolf wera in consultation to stop the circulation of thia woman's stories. DEECHEN WAS/GREATLY AGITATED, and Mou'ton told lim there was no canse for alarm, aa they could casily keep her quiet. Ho advisod kindness to be used with ber, and to pat Lor undor somo obligasions tows.
