TILTON V8. BEECHER. The Great Scandal Suit—The Plaintiff Ready and Eager for the Fray—Sharp Legal Skirmishing for Position. Yesterday the Brooklyn City Court, upon its commencement of tne ousiness of the day, was crowded to excess by an audience composed, for | the greater part, of members of the Bar of Kings county, the attraction being found in the fact that No, 128 of the calendar of that Court would be reached. It wasexpected that some interesting legal sparring would ensue between the learned counsel who are enlisted on either side in the opening round of the great scandal case of the age, the issue being cited as “Tilton against Beecher.” ‘he acuon is the first of a series, bearing directly and indirectly on the ques- tion of the innocence or guilt of the vener- able and world-wide renowned pastor of Plymouth church, The suit ts brought by Theodore Tilton, ex-editor of the Golden Age and parishioner of the distinguished defendant, to recover damages in the sum of $50,000 lor the alleged seduction of his wife, Mrs, Tilton. The “mutual friend"? of both Darties to the suit mentioned was also | interested iu the proceedings which transpired in the Oity Conrt yesterday, being himself cited to appear to answer to a criminal charge found iu an indictment presented against him by the Septem- ber term of the Grand Jury of Kings county at the instance of the authoress, Miss Edna Dean Proc- tor, whose character Frank Moulton is alleged to Nave libelied in the publication emanating from him and known a6 his second statement concern- ing the Beecher-Tiiton soandal, Should Mr. Moul- | ton, Whois @ member of the firm of Woodrum & Robinson, be found gulity by a jury of the crime charged, the punishment would be one year’s im- prisonment and a fine. The counsel present were | a tollows:—For Messrs. Tilton snd Moulton—Ex- Judge Fullerton, W, 4. Beach, ex-istrict Attor- bey Samuel D. Morrisand Roger A. Pryor. For Rey. Henry Ward Beecher—General Benjamin F. ‘Tracy, ex-United States District Attorney of Kings county, and Mr, Shearman, Olerk of Plymouth church. Judge Reynoids presided, and by bis aideon the bench was Judge McCue, with whom he advised during the argument. District Attorney Joho Winslow, who was, it willbe remembered, one of the most active members of the Investigating Committee or THR CHURCH OF THE DEFENDANT Jast summer, was present, attended by his assist. t, Mr. Moore, Theodore uton came into Court sroiling aud shking his colossal head and stream- ing locks with gracious dignity in the-direction irom whence he detected a@ iriendly nod of recog- nition, entered the enclosure and took @ seat beside Counsellor Beach. He looked well and jar more cheerful than was his wont ‘during the period when the newspapers were flooded with mention of his nume and the patalul articulars of bis domestic misery. Francis D. froatton took his seat at the side of Theodore, and the two warm iriends, who have now been lorcead to make common cauge in tile battle of the giants— jntellecually sfeaking—conversed ireely, indulg- fog irom time to time in broad grins at the ma- na@uvring of counsel. They certataly deported | themselves in 4 manner which lent the impression that they were defiant, and as though, in the lan- guage ot General F. Benjamin Butle’, “they had a case. About halfpast ten o’clock Judze Reynolds called tne case of Tilton against Beecher, Mr. Morris, in a Sharp, ringing voice, exclaimed “ready! Whereupon Mr. Beecher’s attorney, Mr. Slearman, arose aod said that he understuad | that the Court would, neiore proceeding to the trial of this case, irst hear argument on the ap- | peal irom the dectsion of Judge Neilson. Tne decision in question was delivered two weeks ago, and was # denial of tne application of | Mr, Beecher’s coungel for an order to compel tne counsel jor Mr. Tilton to iurnish the deiendant With a bill of particulars setting forth the time and place ut which the alleged adulterous acts ac- curred between the delandaut and the wile of the } plainci®. ‘The Court held that It had not the power {9 iesue such au order, as it Would not be praper | to compe! ihe plaintiff in such & case to disclose | tne line of prosecution in advance of trial. Judge son, however, accorded delendant the rigut uf al irom bis decision. Nr. Morrie said eoae they ppenestionsbiy, had the right to make whatever disposition of this case it might see proper in the premises. The original order of Judge Nelison had been so modi- fled as not to interiere with this case, and they therelore now answered “ready.” | Judge Reynold: said that he understood that the | other side was not ready to proceed, and it they | Wanted bim to set down @ day fer tue trial he | ‘would do so. Mr. Fullerton said that be understood that the Clty Court was 60 constituted that it could try ‘his case at any time, and he was most desirous of | having it tried at once. Unless delay ahoulabe absolucely necessary let the appeal be argued here at once. ‘The case had been noticed for trial ou the October aud Nuyember terms, and this ap- | peal from the order nad been made tor no other purpose than to delay the trial, In view of that inct he asked that (he Court hasten the trial, Genera! ‘Vracy replied, saying that the remarks of the counsel on the other side were made (or the purpose of influencing the pubitcand not for affect. ing motions beiore tue Court. Ut that principle they proposed, in the conduct of his case, to give the other side un entire monopoly. They would try the case bejore courts and juries, and not jor the bdenetit of the outside public or lor the Dewspupera. He repelled, with scorn ana inaignation, the inti- Mation of counsel that that motion was made Jor the purpose of delayiug the trial. ‘the appeal had been tugen from the decision ot Judge Nelson because he considered the interests involved tp 1t of 80 grave a character that he thought 1t would be well that his decision should be reviewed. They eonceived tt to be their duty to appeal. When | the time comes for this Court tu hear the argu- | ment they would be ready, and there will be no mation for delay on their part. Any motion to try this ci Unt! that Motion is argued is illegiti- mate, and to say that this is a case that ought to be tried at once ts a suggestion to the public and not to the Court. He agreed with the counsel when he said that this 18 a case which ought to be triea without delay, They were ready, and wnen | the time came for these parties to come to close | quarters they will tind it om thei side quite close | enough for their satisiaction. hen that eapest shall have been réaa they will be ready to fx an early oay for the trial Judge Reynolds said that from the modification | Which was made from the order the Judge de- | | signed to leave the case in a position to have | something done here. He leit it s0 that a time | couid be fixed for trial at an early day—some day | tois term. ‘The order is made returnable to- | morrow, and then he makes such disposition as he sees ft as regards the stay, If he grants tne | stay then the appeal will be argued belore the | Generai Term. With this view there ja no object | In coming here except to designate the day, unless | | some order in the meantime shall prevent it. For nis agssoctate aud pimseli, Judge Reynolds said, ‘whey Were ready to hear the appeal at any time. Mr. Fullerton said that if the other side felt ag- grieved by the order denying a bill oi particulars ; Shey wiil want the, ear.iest possible moment in which to redress wrong. He hoped, thereiore, that the Court, constituted as tt 1s, would, 1x a ; time, Aa for their aide, they wanted no notice of argument. They wouid pe there at any time, eneral Tracy rejomed, waying, “All we ask is a suMcient time fo pring out papers and appear be- fore the Court and move our motion.” Mr, Shearman remarked toat Judge Neilson told Mr. Morris and himseif that the papers must be printed, und they will be ready in tne course of This week, Mr. Fullerton said he would stipulate to have the papers printed by to-morrow morning, if the other side would only let him have them. This remark drew jorthean indignant He'd from | the counsel for Mr. Beecher, who declared their ability to have their own papers printed. Judge Reynolas subsequently set down the time for hearing the appeal ior Friday aiternoon, at two o’clock. | Court then set down the trial of suit ot anon inst Beecher jor Wednesday of next week. TRIAL OF FRANCIS D. MOULTON. The Court then organized for the transaction of criminal business, waen istrict Attorney Winslow came forward and asked that Francis D. Moulton, defendant in the indictment for misdemeanor founda against him, be now called upon to plead, and that a day be set jor his trial. He would sag- @est the third Monday of the present month. Mr. | Fullerion, who also appeared jor Mr. Moulton, called the attention o: the Court to the fact that a civil action is pending in this case for the same alleged libel in the United States Court. He be- lteved that tne rate in that court is that where such f case exist the criminal cause 18 post: | oned until after the civil is tried, and be therefore ed that the evil action be decided tirst.
