A New Poviticas, Party.—A meeting of eight presidents of the workingmen's indus- trial party was held Saturday evening at the corner of 2d avenue and 8th street, Mr. Jos. Bowers in the chair. Mr. Theodore E. Tom. linson was present, and submitted a plan of action, which he thought would be successful in uniting workmen ina body politic. His proposition was to form a general committee comprising the several presidents of the in- dustrial party. Each member should next endeavor to enroll men in the cause, and he thought that at the expiration of six months united party could be forme:t which would seeure work for its members by their politi- cal votes. Such an association would com- mand respect from corporations and employ- ers. and a club mightalso be formed to act in conjunction with the industrial party as the union league club does with the republicans.

A Rigid Cross-Examination. il Story for a Young Girl to Withers Equal te the Ge- After our tel ic report of the Tilton- Beecher trial el yesterday, the cross-ex- amination of Bessie Turner was conducted pd ex-Judge Fullerton. She testified as fol- JOws: It was in spring the first time of Tilton’s visit to bedroom in 1868, and the second occasion In 1869, it was in the sammer, I think. Mrs. Tilton was away in Monticello the first time. It was in the summer of 1899 that Tilton came to my room; this was after my return from Dow’s house. Greeley was at Mrs. Tilton’s and spent two or three weeks there that summer. a I returned to Til- ton’s in 1869 1 remained there two or three weeks, amd then went to Keyport to his father's. I think Miss Annie Tilton, Mr. Tilton’s sister, was_ there, and Kate McDon- ald. the servant. No on went with me to Ke; I think this was in the early art of the fall. Mrs. Tilton was away, ink, at Monticello, but I did not return ua- til lent one eng = . When Il went to the house I found her there. Kate McDonald re- mained at Keyport. I was at Tilton’s about three weeks be! I_went to Key , and saw Greeley there. There were then in the house Greeley, Tilton and Kate Burke; when I left these were all the parties in the house. J do not remember seeing Kate Mc- Donald there when I left. After leaving Key- port | went to Mrs. Putnam’s in February, 1810, and remained there eight or nine months, returning in November, 1870. 1 re- turret with Mrs. Tilton, because I thought she was no! in good health, and shouki not be allowed to travel alone. THE SECOND VISIT OF TILTON TO MY ROOM Was in 18), and the first in 1863, in the sum- mer; at the latter time my impression is that Mrs. Tilton was absent from home. I was sleeping alone in the second story front bed room. Mrs. Tilton sometimes slept in the front part and at, other times the ‘ik part of the house. I donot remember where the children slept then. At that time I was ly- ing there, and Mr. Tilton came in to bid me good night, and he stroked my hair, and re- marked how soft it was. He put his hi on my neck. I removed it, and he sa “Why, Bessie, darling, how modest you are. He said people in the best classes of society perally such caresses—in the best so- ty that even ministers gave them. I told n I did not care what people in the best ty div talked to me about marriage nd affinities, and asked me to allow him to love and caress me, and that no harm should happen tome. I thought this conversation on his part was very strange. I was tien about seventeen years of age. I was not shocked. I studied over his language. as I did not know what he meant. 1 was angry when he put his hand on my neck. 1 had. up to this Lime, been very much attached to rs. Tilton, but do not think I told her then of that occurrence. I remember him dis- tinctly saying, «* Why, Bessie, dear, how pain fully modest you are;” I did not Know what he meant by affinities and PHYSICAL EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE; in the summer of 1574 ] was on a visit to some friends in Pittsburg, Pa.. and came on to Brooklyn in August; while bere went be- fore thé church ¢ommittee and testified before them; I spoke to them of two occasions on which Tilton visited my room; the question was put to me, “Did Theodore Tilton ever attempt your ruin?” and I answered, “Yes, he did on two occasions;” I think I told the committee that Mrs. Tilton was at Monti- cello on one of these occasions; I do not remember saying that Mrs. Tilton was in Schoharie; I now know that she was at Mon- ticello. and I must have been mistaken when I told the committee Scaoharie; this was in 1869; I was mistaken in saying before the committee that on the first occasion when was carried intohis room! awoke in his arms. I was also mistaken when I said that the two events occurred near together; I said to them that I thought Mrs. Tilton was at Schoharie on one of these occasions; I was in Steuben- ville from 1871 until I returned to Brooklyn in 1874; I only knew of my going before the committee about ten minutes before it oc- curred; I talked with Gen. Tracy before I went there; on the second night after I ar- rived in the city I WENT BEFORE THE COMMITTEE; my father left me at Mr. Halliday’s, and he took me up to Mrs. Ovington’s; it was in the morning that I went there, that evening I spenaes before the committee; Isaw Mrs. ‘Tiltoa there, and during my stay there the object of my appearing before the committee was mentioned; I do not think it was men- tioned until General T: called; I did not tell of the occurreaces at Mrs. Ovington’s or Mr. Halliday’s until General Epo called; the committee met at § o'clock, and General Tracy called between 7 and 8; I am sure I did not talk with him two hours; Ido not remem- ber who went with me before the commit- tee. I talked over the subject with a great many parties afterwards, with Mrs. Tilton, Mr. earman, and others. I found after- wards on looking over the evidence given by me on that occasion that Thad made some mistakes in my testimony. I was stopping at Mrs. Purdy’s when I made this discovery. Mrs. Morse was also there, but I did not talk over the matter with her or as to the testi- mony given by me. When I made the dis- covery it was after reflection, I cast eyer the testimony in my own mind when the mistakes were discovered by me. There was @ book of the pgmey 2 Lege me by Mr. Shearman, but I never looked at it. fj dis- covered some of my discrepancies through talking with Mrs. Mitchell.
