Your continuions should not be drawn from one of thene classed of avidenco, but FROM Alle THE TESTIMONY on this branch of tho case comtinod, In taking uptha vaitinns referred to, you will observa thut tho plaintif’s lettar of tne 26th Decembor, 1870, demanding that tho defendant should leave his pulint and the city, was tho firat open act of hostility, That domand was withdrawn at the interview had by the parties at Moulton’s bonne on the avening of Dee. 30, 1870. ‘Tho plaintiff claims that that wags in deference to tho wishes of is wife, At that tine a paper, writ- ten by Mr. Tilton in roxnect to hor relations to the defendant, was held by Montton. The copy which the plaints? had waa toro up after having bean road or stated to tho defsudant, and tho original wns afeo torn up afterwards by Mra, Trl- ton, with her husband’s asaont.

Ag to the subject thua spoken to by these wit- nessox, you should be pnidont in reforonce to moro probabilitive. You are not to indulge in speculations, or lightly coasider s matter which haa beon aflirmed because it may uot acem rea- sonable. ‘Tho Judge said a refcretce by him to THE OTHER PAPeng would be nearly uonecessary, Lut from them it appears that the defendsnt was conscious of Uaviug committed somo wrong or offense af- fecting tho — pinintiff an his family. With that observation as to tho im- port of tho papors, EF submit thom to your consideration, that you may, taking them in counection with tho pross at large, do- termine what that wrong or offense was. Pase- ing to tho second branch of ovidonce, I call your attention to tho alleged oral admissions. “Tho confessions of o party mado deliberately against his own interest au to thefacte koown and un- derstood by him, if clearly provod, la regarded asof so high clasa of ovidonco, and deservedly to, because it is contrary to experience for a man to admit rbat hurtshim, if not trus, Ex- perience proves rather thst men EVADE OR DENY THE TRUTIC wheu the truth hurts, Ttstimony to prove an oral ndmisaton should bo carefully scrutinized.

SIo states hoch was tho roal purpose and charac- ter of his intervention, and tho defendant, in hia letters and othorwise, haa borno large and Beneroue testimony to that effect. Yet Mr, Moulton, on muny occasions, a6 he testifies, and ag other witnesses state, declared that defendant was not guilty of Boxual tutercourse, which he now neys bad Loon admittod. It is for you to consider how far the incouristency in his atato- meuin goeu to discredit him. If yon shalt ba of opinion that ho intended to atato tho truth in his examination, avd that hia proviona dectara- tions were inspired by a apirit of loyalty todefondant’s reputation snd to that of ‘Sra. ‘Tilton, and from an carneat wish to divert the tninds of others from the subject iu carrying out tho policy of suppreasion, you aro at tiborty to woake such allov.boce for that aa shall be propor.
