[ BROOKLYN. The First Cross-Examination of Theodors Tilton Completed, Nothing Dramatic Served Up Before the Reportorial Seventy. Mr.Tilton Rehearses His Threat of Capital Harm to Mr. Beecher. Ile Also Adds Tiltonlan Corroboration of Its Portent. He Shows Mr, Moulton to Have Been a Friend Fit to Grapple To, Mr, Fullerton Closes the Day with Some Redirect Questions. RELINQUISHING THE CROSS, FOUKTEEN WOMEN, Special Dirvateh to The Clicago Tribune, Brookryx, N. Y., Fob, 15,—Thoro was & very Intgo attondanco to-day of poople who oxpocted to witness Tilton's catastrophie, tho likelihood of such an onding to his cross-oxamination being interred from tho barronnass and sterility of all provious days, All tho old familiar faces were visiblo, witls othera which hnd postponod thetr appostancato the prospective donouement of this morving. Fourteen ladics iufused tho amiabilities of their sox into the choking assem- bly. Of those, Mre. Tilion, Mrs. Deecher, and Mra. Fiold woro known of ail men ; so, in a leesor dogreo, wero two white-bairod Iadios from Olio, Mrs. Piholps and AMrs. Patnam, wbo, in somo mgstorious manner, ara 'rolatod to the case ny witnesses. Tuoy mat open-oyed all day, whisporing to oach other lika & protty pair of China shepherdesaes of Watteau times. If thoy did not wear n vory matronly handle to their namos, vory casily might thoy puss for two spiuster sisters who bad strayed out of a pastoral seclusion into tha loaded air of our court. Bosides, thero were somoe brazen and veilless creatures who watched tho play with lees alorm than thoy would bave looked upon aammer lightning, Thore was one other damo in the motley throng—one otber, and ghe tho mistress of this enterpiso, tho queen of these reveld, Mother-in-law Morso was royally slona 1n tho midst of o bunch of other womeu, the two protty, old ladies from Ohio glariug timidly at her, and Mrs. Boochor ocessionnlly direeting o stooly staro at hor face. Hus ison excollcut likonons of 3rs. Tilton, with & bolder front and suowy hair. Indesd, in the ratio of Mrs, Tilton's wmeokness and dejection are Mra, Morso's audac- ity aud re. Tior chovoluro is o wonderfn! con- fection of white puffs and frizzea, which resem- ble ns closcly as may bo the icing en a weddig-cake. They tompt you o broak of & puff or two aud tasto whother they aro mweot, Hor noso is a trifle aquiline; Lhior mouth smull and crucl, and hor eyes a8 koon 85 0 pair of daggors. Fortunately, for the weal of man, those eyesjare usually sheathed by biack- rimmed eye-glasses. I devote all tho descrip- tion I can to Mrs. Morso, bocause, without Mrs, Mloree, thoro would not ouly have boen no Elizaboth Tilton, but what would have been a thousand times botter, no scandal, Sho sat in advauco of hor escort, like an Amazon Major-Goueral riding in front of her stafr, Hor eyo-glosses were trained upon her son-in-law, and from that dreadful battory she bombarded him with conseless seowls and frowos, Paor Litle Mrs. Tilton euddlod up alongeido Mrs. Field, aa1f a galo of wind wore blowing and she must hide from it, even in the leo, if nothing elec woro near, af a hay-utack, Mra. Fiold naver insults proprictios by shoning any Intorost in the procesdivgs, Her business In Court is to fill the supornumoraty part of a policoman. Bne is sufliciently stolid eithor for sn Indian or s mastor-at-arms, and hors s one of tho best-played characters in tho meiodrama, Buch ox-llke seronity undor ciroumstances so trying s somothing to envy, but not to emulato. Homo one anco said that Mra, Tilton would attract suybody in soarch of advico touching tho cut of & night. shirt, but bardly the dovotion of a groatmivd, I must confosa that, after s continuous view of Lior red shawl, Lier hidoous black velvet bat, and her fluffy hair, I must doubt ler tasto even sg rogards night-shirts, To be sure, she tuinke Beecher's ** Norwood " the triumph of Literaturo, and; to grapplo with * Norwood,” I atm told, da- mands a more than masculine grasp, MB. TILTON, liko everybody else in Court, looked much bstter for Lia throe days’ rest and refreshmeut. He complainod, bowever, af a tendoncy to pucumo- vis, and his lips wore dry and feverish. [l manner, howover, was unusually colm and trane qull. To whatover canse it may bo attributed, his former hiabit of retoring nome quip or quirk upon bis crose-cxaminer haa altogothior disap- peared, and a gravity moro consistent with the woriousnens uf tho caso has displaced his earlior acrimony. Mr. Beeohor and his wife wore again present, THE QUESTIONING, The expectation of » final explosion was doomed to be bascless. Wheu Evarie rose to finish the cross-examination at 11 o'olock, ib was plaiu to be seen that he had nothing in re- sorvo, so it Jogged along until Tilton had to ro- poat his threat to shoot Beecher it ho resigned, Beochor, who wau 8taring up at the gas-jots t the ceiling, droppad his gazo to the level of the window. The audience made its customary mur. mur. There was no break In the tedium which followed until the eplsode of the female-suftrage Dewspaper, the Revolution, wsa roackod, Evarts hended s small ploce of printed matter to the witness, *“Is that the paper? ™ asked Jadge Nellson, who eyed it curiously. ** No, it'a a prospectus,” replied Evarta, curtly, “Umph!" grunted His Honor, *1 thought it waa rathor » amall revolution.” ‘Tracy, who has looked very glum ever aince Moulton and he had their duel, @ Foutrance, had s chance to Isugh when Tilton, being pressod as to the length of an interview in which the Gen- eral took part, ingeniously measured it by say- fug: *“It was solong that Gen. Tracy went to sleep.” ‘Iracy availed himself of theopportuni- ty, and treated his faco (o the relaxation of a amilo, A FRIEND INDEED, The only interesting part of the morning's work relatod to the queation of Tilton's indsbt- ecnoss to Moulton. The dialogue ran as fol- lowa: Q.—Can you tell us what amount you are now indobted to Moulton? A.—[ don't kuow that I am indobted to bim b sl sir. In was with CIICAGO, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1875, Moulton's free consent that I sold tha Golilen Age, with all Implicd obligation rosting upon it which came from moneyn which he advanced, amourting to a fow thoussud dollars,—perhaps fivo or kix. Q.—Iow much wers you at any tima indebted to Moulton ? A.—I should thiuk, porhaps. one view of the case, I was indebted to him five or iz thousand dollars. Q.—At what date lnd yonr debt come to that amount ? A.—~I should think about the time I sold tho paper. Q.—Uave youat any timo ropaid to him any tosn or reduced in sny way any debt to blm? A—No, sir; Dbloulton would mnot tako snything in return. I tried to get Moullon to twko my property in Llewelyn Tark. o eaid “No; wait.” Then T tried to ges bim to becomo tho awnar of & Lalf or & third or & quarter of the paper, which he said he wonld in duo time 1f there was no reimburaement in any way. 3oulton told me to be very much at my eate aboutit, It in just like Lim, for Lo iy & princely man, Moulton told mo that ho wonld sco tho paper was kept going i not to disturb mysolf about it. Onco or twico during thoe year T spoke to Lim about his kiudness to the paper, and told him I was under an obligation which T didu’t know when I should Lo ablo to vay, and ho always eaid to mo, “Bo quict and cuss m vonr mind, and £ thero I8 wo other way, L will take ooc-half or ouc-tinrdof the paper, and reimbnreo myself in that wey," ¢ on tho first 81,000 was sent vou, and a voucher sras required of you, you declinod to be- coe adebtor? A.—Yen, wmir, Q.—And yon immediately reccived the $1,0007 rtly ofterward, . —What distinciion did you draw between wil- linguees to bo made a dobior without thoprespect of repaying aud the willingnees togive a vonchor fordebr 2~ A.—Monlton tent me. ono day, cieck for £1,00, desiring mo by tho hand of the mensonger Lo give my noto 1or 1t, or xomething of the kind. "1 don't exactly undorstand the principler of buriness, and | roturnad 1t, Baying, ** Lean't botrow $1,060, for I don't sco’ my way cloar 1o pay it back.” Moulton then cama fo mo inpereon, aud snid, 1 know yon need the money, and never mind about any obligation to pay this back. I will trust to your futuro for- tune, sud to your integrity. 1'ut yourself under no obligation.” Under these circnmstances 1 took tho monoy. Ilosnid he would reimburse himself 1 timo otlierwiso if I couldn't pay him tho woney. Q.—Yow undorstood ho was eatisfied to have you tako it without vouchers upon tho general Becurity of your property and your wtegrity ? A.—I understood it was moro aa net of frioudship between Moulton and myaelf. It was not an act of ona businces man townrd auotber. It was an act of a personal, kind, and loving friend, who, through his abundaneo of ineans, was willing to belp mo 1n my neceesity. Q.—Wheu did that forea of hia lihorality and of your ncceptanco of it terminate, and how # A.—1 don't think it has ever terminated. Q.—You maan that he has continned {0 ndvanco you moucy up to tha present timo # A.—No, Bir; though ho would if I ueeded it. Q.—What I inquire is, when the sctusl ndvanco of money to yon by Motlton, in forco of his lib. erality nnd your acceptanco of it, eamo ta an end and how # A.—Theneeessity of nioney was tohelp tho papor nlongs, After tho ala of tho pavor. that necessity ended. T'rom that time to thiw, 1 have been [u a batfer condition. From tan falo of this paper what did yon rocoivo?

Q.—Did you or niot, s u consideration, when you rocelved the luat fum, utipalste {hat 1 fur- ther wdvances wero to 1o made from Moullon 7 A.—No, tir; Tdon't remember anvthing ot tho kind. I bud for yeats begued Moulton to Tot the paperstop. o did not want it to, I wanted toget out of it.

A.—IL mada whatover use of it my need royuired, Q.—Havo you oxcr given Moulten any secuiity for any of Llicsa advatices upon your picturcs, or upon anv of thom? A—-Nbver, uir, Moulton having been’ diacussod as Mweenns, Evarts ambled along through _bogy of oxplana. tous and objections, all” of which rolated to tomobody, not lecchor, who bad offored o ad. yance $1,000 towarda tho Gollen dge. Judgo Neilson ruled out tho quantion, TilE COXGRLAATIONAL COUTCIL, AND ITd REKULTS. ‘'his morning's work ended With an effoit to show hy the witness' testimony that Beccher wus nat responsible for the treatment of Tilton and his family which led to tho writing of the rovly to Dr. Dacon. ‘Tilton and Evaits cstab- lished tho former’s ponition as follows: ), — 4 you wroto to Dacon, what had oc- curred in referonce to this reandal, #o ez that induced you to write that lottor? ‘A, had ccentred” s netics of measures In yinouth Churel: dotrimental tomo.
