TILTON VS.BEECHER pee RE Fourth Day of the Initial Proceedings. YESTERDAY. Two Sworn Jurors Rejected and Five Accepted. THE JURY COMPLETED. Probability of Still Further Revision. COUNSEL PREPARING FOR WORK. Yesterday wi day of sleet and slush up the wide avenues of Brooklyn, where the people in processton, With reporters of ufty papers, civic and rural, took their way from the ferry to the domed limestone Court House. Passing in, a double fight of steep, winding stairs led to the second story, and wal¥ing down @ long, hall- lighted hall, the show of a dense black crowd at the door of acourt room on the right indicatea the whereabouts of the great assize. The proceedings yesterday were in keeping with the tough predisposition of counsel to fight, step by step, the trial of the case, and give no advan- tage to the opposition, This was noted of both counsel, and in each file of counsel every man | worked. The human and pathetic poiuts of the trial disappeared in the stripped encounter be- tween the gladiators of the law, who could In no event be accused of neglecting their client. The probability of any such desertion grows fainter as ‘There may be lawyers who entered into (is matter for additional fame, but there are none Who are not earnestly at work for their maa, whichever be may be. The two days’ delay, Monday ana Tuesday, spent over the deiicate question of which of the juages should try the case, are now alleged to have been used behind that mask to PROBE ALL THE PRECINCTS of the city and try tne panel before the drawing, in order to aiscover whether any of the possibie jurors had expressed an opimon, visited a church distantly suspected of prejudice in the case, or known uny ot the irtends of the opposite side. The proceedings yesterday made the fact plain that two of the jurors were unft, The behaviour of both those jurors when chal- lenged in open court indicated that they had been playing a trick on justice and their own con. sciences. One of them smiled through his teeth ‘The other showed, on cross-examina- tion, an overweening desire to be a juryman and to keep a seat in the box, not on the plea of ne- cessity or for employment’s sake, but apparently toadd a digit to the verdict. These behaviours showed how deeply the matter in hand kad passed below the line of equanimity and touched individual repulsions a8 with the sharp hook of private incitement, On the other hand, the counsel for the plaintiff, | dispossessed of either ecclesiastical or political machinery, had experienced a certain sharpentug by the uses of adversity, and briskly brougnt into courta series of witnesses who impugned the impartiality of men already in the box, and fairly Offset the prior advantage of the defence in having raked up the points about other jurymen in ad- vance, The counsel for Mr. Tilton explained this as follows:— “As soon as a map 1s ma‘e a juryman, if he be not righteousiy impartial, we are run down by bis neighbors and gossips, who remember with mar- vellous consecutiveness, and by date, his utter- ances on the subject.” e In short, there is no block in Brooklyn, no social circie, no tap room, no prayer meeting, no corner gathering, where the Beecher-Tilton case does not | Givide argument, predilection and passion. Whether the present trial will settle it, is very uncertain, People are already speculating on the verdict. In the corridor of the Court House re- marks are heard like the foliowing:— “Bet you even the jury will hang!” “Two to five there will be @ verdict 1" “Two to one against the side you assume for that verdict.” The presiding Justice has shown by his attention and magnetic control of the counsel a very rare People who remember the this vicinity should know that Cuief Justice Nell- | anywhere. The kitten and tue bulldog play to- gether side by side in his expression. He has more happiness in parting differences of expres- sion and solving verbal riddies than any of the lawyers, mot excepting the most fectiy subordinate to the trolics of connsel, until it gets to be insufferable and stupid.” Then the | well modulated voice of the Judge is scarcely raised, bat HIS KINDLING BYR, Up-grip and forward movement of the whole jaw, from the cheek bones down, show that he is no person to be trified with and that, as he sits there, the solitary Jndge, heis keeping the law to be greater than the wresiling in !t, and means to | have common sense and magnanimty a very great part of that ambiguous science, This report has done iuii justice to the fair be- havior and delicacy of Judge McCue, wno seemed to have been the preference at one time o! one of | the sides in this suit as the ruling Justice. Letters made public yesterday appearea to mention Judge McCue’s name in association with an toterest too closely identifea with the Beecher settlement to bave warranted the propriety of nis assumption of this cause. It was, therefore, timely and wise that he handed this | case over to the Chief Justice and relieved the proceedings, already somewhat peculiar, of an insinuation, however remote, of interieping de- pendencies. Judge Reynolds, a smali, ithe man, of refined features and bign-bred judicial behavior, sometimes drops in on Chief Justice Neilson to lsten awiile and confer. Mr. Beecher makes littie or no appearance now, having showa himself at the bevinuing of the trial.
