Yesterday was a sensational day at the famous Brooklyn trial, Notwithstanding rumors and even confident prognostications tothe contrary, 90 man Dn the jury was set aside. Court began witha rap of the gavel and the first sentence of a speech for the plaintif. The jury, all collected, watched Uke novices listening to an oracie. THE AUDIENCE. A superior audience was assembled. The usual elbowing crowd was out of the gallery, and tn its Place sat clean-faced, undemonstrative persons, apparently admitted by ticket or favor. The great circle of open space around the house was packed itn attentive and respectable listeners, among them several clergymen, like the Rev. Mr. Davis, of Simpson Methodist: Episcopal church, who Beemed to be reviving his memory of the case, as indeed were the bulk of the listeners. It was astonishing now {fresh everytning sounded. Old letters, dinged into our ears time and again, and dinned out again by other letters whose rotation made us exclaim with Macbetn, “What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?’ sounded half torgotten when the attorney read them | sloud.

The Judge took the vench early, and at his side, | \mtroduced by bis associate, Judge Reynolds, was | a Virginia Judge, Shackleiord, who nd come on to | Brooklyn to observe the course of justice in New | York courts. He was a solid old gentieman, of the type of Jefferson, grayisi florid beard and Bair, red cueeks and blue eyes, CAUTION TO THE SPECTATORS, Judge Neilson said:—1 wish it to be understood hy the audience that, under no circumstances, will any indication o! apprubation or disapproba- tion be allowed on the part of the audience as to any statement coming from either side in this ease, The audience are not here to make any demonstration or to signily to the Jary what their views may be. They are expected to conform to the decencies of tue place and keep silence, ana I trust they will do so. Lr. Evarts Presgntly arose, with several kinds of frowns on his lean, slim face, and, loosing over the reporters’ table, which filed a very great part of the space within the bar, ne satd that coun- tel were cramped by intruders. At this Mr. Frank Moulton, siiting benind Judge Morris, arose to accommodate counsel, and bumped bis chair against Mr. Beecher’s lawyer, Shearman. “@xcuse me,” said Shearman, looxing up in an embarrassed way. These two men have cordially hated each other. Moulton, seeing sometbing which excited his fisivilitics im Shearman’s face, biusned and laugnea dutright, Shearman, feeling awkward, laugned too. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. MRS. BEECHER. The great event of the day was the entry of Mr. Beecher, wife and family. The wife could hardly be seen as she advanced throuzu the crowd, oat when she took her seat under ber towering hus- band’s side ver lace and expression were scanned through opera glasses and through the natural magnily.ng circies of the thumb and finger, She did not once look over the crowd, but sat down jemurely, and throughout aii the proceedings kept her black eyes fixed upon tue lawyer who was re- jating Mr. Tilton’s case, her husband whispering into her ear at times with a reassuring expression on his face, but she never turned her eyes into bis. Once she made a movement to take off her biue cloak, and Mr. Beecher aud her sun, Colonel Beecher, assisted her. She made no remark to them, nor did she look at them. She bears every mark of 4 once beautiful woman, and although her hair bas turnea white the features are beau- tiful stil. A strong-willed woman, she iooks to have been of goodly stature. Half a dozen mes yesterday there looked to be an iucreduious smile upon her face, but when closely inspected the smile seemed to have re- treated into the strange, cold countenance. She wore a dlack velvet bonnet with a bow, and a piece of black lace came forward from the lining anu lay on her white crown like a wig, giving the idea to a nearesighted spectator of an enurmousiy high jorehead. Under her chin was a piece of blue ribbon or velvet, and stie wore acloak of army biue cloth over a black dress of silk or velvetcen. If you Will take the popular picture o!

Mr. Beecher severai times looken keenly at the jury, as if to a The jurymen, wholiy engaved with the remarks of counsel, did not giance at either Tilton or Beccher. These two ad- Versaries were twenty jeet apart. A arainatic incident happeaed when Mr, Morris first quoted irom Beecher’s document, which nad been intrusted to Mr. Frank Moulion. Judge Mor- ris read the letter o: contrition with some earnest- ness, and at that moment, toucued vy a sentence and the tone in which it was read, Mr. Moulton Tatsed bis eyes, and, for the first ttme since last July, encountered Mr, Beecher’s gaze. It seemed that the same sentence had @eilurly agitated these two gentlemen, Caught in «ie act, some Jasciparion Coin pelied (hese gentiemen to continue to regard each Otier, neither looking at ail com bative; On the contrary, nal! shy. Mr. Beecher closed the passage-at-arms oy bowing to Mr. Moul- ton. Few persons observed the act. Mr. Moulton bowed in return, and there ended the scene. Mr. Storrs, the head of the church committee of investigation, Whose house Was the seac o1 that preliminary inquest, sat next to Mr. Beecher—a man Of small juce, with the leatures, profile and brows all sioping, apparently to a focus, 4 neat and severe, listening without looking at te speaker, Just in front of Mr. Storrs was one of Beecher's Sona, with dark red hair, writing and copying, a3 assistant tor Mr, Shearman, Next to Siorrs sat Proiessor Raymond, the elo- cutionist, an elderly, bald man, with a sharp chin, crane neck ana goid spectacles, He kept his place during ali the trial, and when the Court adjonrued at iouro’clock Several elderly men of his congre- action gathered about Mr, Beecher anu shook ils and.

Mr. morris bas a soit, rather impressive voice and a sincere man- ner.

He quoted trom Judge Su: to prove that voiun- tary comivssion Was first Cluss evidence, and then pies by point moved lorward with his docu- 8. meni Tne jury listened to Mr. Morris word by word. He spoke slowly and sometimes under oreath, makiug the task dimMcult for the reporters, but the solemnity, decorum aud impressiveness of his periods affected every iace in tne box. Nota jangh nor rustle, scarcely a smile, broke the whole day's performauce. ‘ne head and tail oi tne jury, Halstead aud Carpenter, both gray-baired men of Jamily, above the level of common househoiders, lstened with their eyes as well as their ears. Some o1 the bystanders tuought that Halsteaa looked a little worried, and ghessed that he mignt not be pleased with the strength of Marris’ narra- tion, ‘ihe tall man, Carpenter, however, seemed pertectly suffused with the argument, and never moved hix eye irom Mr. Morris unt the Judge | twice called an adjournment, When the counsel ceased, Mr. Evarts, of the de- fence, shook nis hang and said he could not have expected so good an argument, and tuas his asso- Claes ought to be grate.al to nim, OPENING STATEM“NT FOR THE PLAINTIFF. Mr. S. D. Morris then proceeded to make the opens stateuent of the case on the part of the plainsif, Theodore Tilton. The learued gentieman t mauy of his remarks were utterly inaudiole to least three-fourths of the reporters. who were straining their ears to hear what Mr. Morris said, bis back, and not his face, being turned toward tuem. He commenced in an extrenicly low tone of voice. He said:—It ts nut necessury to remind you of the great importance of this case. A solemn duty devolves on you. You are cailed trom your various avocatious to discoarge one of the most important duties that bas ever devoived or will ever devolve on you as men, This is bo ordinary case that 1 am avout to submitto you. it at tracts the aftention of the entire com- munity. ‘This 1s no contest to determine the rights of parties, Dor is it @ contest to cevermine any of iose questions which, on ordinary occasions, are determined to courts of jusiice, It 18 above and veyond that, more iar- Teaching in its consequences than any case ever tried in this Court.

Dr. Lu ington, a mgn authority in England, says it 1s hecessary to prove that the adultery took place at & particular time or piace, but that the Court shail be satisfied, from the tacts, that a criuipal attachment existed between the parties. Lord Stowell uses this language :—“‘It is not necessary to gtve direct proof of the lact of adultery, be- cause if it were otherwise proof would not be at- tainabie In one ont of every hundred cases. In case ol aduitery the law allows the tact to d irom circumstances, to be deduced inferences, and unless (318 was tue cas, and unless it was 80 held, no protection whatever could be given to marital rights,”? My. Moriis quoted other authorities to the same purport, among those ice Snaw, of difference between direct and circumstantial evi- dence. Direct evidence 1s positive as rejating to the proofof an exact part, such asin a case of homicide; but experience shows that circumstan- tal evidence, a body of ‘acts, may be brought im and May amount to proof as strong as possible. It wouid be injurious to society if circumstantial evidence were not avaties of.

Such a con ession combines a statement of facts ana forms tae basis of a charge coumbived with tls species oj evidence, Now, gentlemen, { have stated to you briefly the general character of our law on this subjces. First, there are the acts of tue pares accused, and then there are the confessions of the parties accused, and ths is a very tmperiect outline of the nature of our case ana tne geucral character oi our. evidence. I will proceed to call your attention mivre specifically to the facts by which we purpose to estabusn tais case. The case opens on the dd o1 Joly, 1870, with tie confession made by the wile Of the plaintiff, though not communicated to the delendant tii some time aiterward. On the 3d of July, 1870, the wie of the plaintid, with an over- buraened eurt, confesses her guilt to her hus- band. And here, gentlemen, | will call your atten- tion toa circumstance that seems to me to pos- Sess great streugth and force in this investigation. Up to tmis period the 1e.ations of tue plaintlit and the deiendant had been of the most cordial char- acter, Notning had occurred to mterrupt their harmony and good i¢eling 50 lar as the plana knew. He and his wile were members Ol the detendant’s charen; but alter the 3d of July, 1870, the plaintif! never crossed the threshold of Mr. Beecher’s churcn unul the 3ist ot October, 1873, when he attended there for the purpose of confroniing the pastor of that church and siting him in the preseuce of ms congregation if ne ha spoken ialsely coucerning him. Woat was toat? It is one of the circumstances in this case. Why ‘Was It that the plaintiff, allat once, without any apparent cause, so far as the public knew—so fur as any member of the courch Kuew—way did the plaintia, who Wasa member of the church and al admirer up to that time of the defendant, who admired the welenaant veyond all other men, who place?4 implicit coutidence in him, who regarded him almost as his iatner—be was Nis spiritual 1ather—cease to attend the ministrations of Ply- mouth church? Woy was it? He had received some wound—something had occurred that in- duced hin to keep away from Piymouth churco. THE NIIFE’S FEELINGS. He kept away. He iiad received a wound; that wound had pierced his heart, but lor tne sake of bis cuilaren, whom he loved as nis life, be carried that wound in his heart; but he could not listen to tue mioisirations of the man who had brought d'-grace, sorrow and ruin Upon nis home. He rematved away irom the church and ne goes to bis home with tos arrow in his heart, Well, gentlemen. for months he bore in silence this great wrong, this great sorrow. For that he has been arraigned, tor that, too, he hus een abused r | and traduced, vecause ne did not strike down the Seducer Oo! his wie at once; Decguse he rose to tue higher Christian plane; because he carried out the Christian doctrine and for that he bay been traduced. But { belteve the enemies of this man Will be handled by one Who can do it with more power and iorce thanIcac. On the 30th of De- cember, 1870, tne plaintiff comronted the defea- dun; with a renewed coniession of hs wile and accuses Lim of having commitied toils crime. Wout did tne defendant do? What would an in- nhocent mau then pave dove as to vis charge? Wou.d be have denied it? Would he have huried it back with indignation’ Did he? No. He never contradicted ihe charge when made. What are The circumstances immediately 1olowing tne muking oj the charge? The dejendant seduced the wile of the piatmtiif, He returns to the house o1 Mr. Moulton, where this charge 18 made against him. Nota wordaboutit, Alterhe has had ap interview with Mr. Tilton, who accuses litm of this crime, there is no denial of iteituer to Mr. Tilton or Mr. Mouiten. Not a word but the expression, “Phis will Kill me.” What ts the next step in tae history of this case? On the fotlowing night Mr. Mouton goes to the house of the deiendant, uc- cuses him of having taken a mean advantage of Tiltou and usks that a paper he has received be delivered up to him, He goes there as tne accred- ited friend of iiiton—he goes io the delendant, a cumparauve stranger, and asks that he deuver up this paper to him. Dues ir. Beecher snow lum the door? Oh, no Does be ask him why he accuses him of meanness in what he did ? He 18 @ comparative stranger to Becher, and goes there as the Inend of Luton. The next nigat he yoes to tis house; Mr. Beecher invites him: into ois study, What did hedo? Does he inquire whether oniten has brougbt him an Apuioxy (rom the plaintuf ior hts conduct or not t No, Lut he writes a note about the comession, It comiences, y Gear iricud Moution.” ouiton was @ comparative stranger to lim; a man who, the oight previous, obtained this paper irom him, He said to this man who, twenty-iour hours be- lore, had accused him Oi meanness and oi; taking a@mean advantage, and had demanded and ob- tained tnis paper from him:—“sy dear iriend Mouiton, I ask, through you, Theodore Tiltun’s lorg:veness, and 1 will numble myself be ore him, as I do before my God. He would have been a vetcer map in my circumstances. I will die pelore anyoody but myself is inculpated. Sbe is guiltiess.”” “Might we mot stop here? If we wanted to make out our case against tne defendant, would it be necessary to go one step beyond this? it must be cone ceded, from tis letter, that tne dejendant nad done some wrong—some terrble wrong— vo the plainumt. What was it? ‘ihe piamtf says 1% was adultery with the plaints wife. Mr. Moulton says it Was adultery, and another person said, in eect, the same thi All the statements that followed show that it was adu.tery, and utterly irreconcilabie with any other thing. No huwau ingenuity can give it any other meaning. NO OTHER WORD. You must blot out tue English language and ail it means, for 30 jong as it stahos uo other explana- tion can be given of tis matter. Adultery wus the fact. Mouiton knew it, and during lus connec. tion with 'he case, Jor four years, he strove with unparaleled fidelity to save tue deienuant, This Is the whole point of the case—it is focus. That is the letter on which, jor four years, this whole case turns. Why did Mr. Beecher, the deiendant, Want to go to Moulton? He gues once, aud sometimes twice a day, to see himi—to pian, to plot, to conceal something. On, but he says Mr. Mowiton has denied tue truth of the charge! O! course, thatis what he was there for. Was he calied on 10 expose the facts to the world? That meeting was to conceal trem. That is what Mr, Moulton was required tur. Le wanted to con- ceal—not to make known. He was the possessor of this secret that could not be trusted by tas Carisian minisier to any other human dvelug on earth. There was no other persou to whom be could trost it.
