4 TILTON VS. BELCHER. Another Day Devoted to Letters and Documents. JUSTIFIABLE LYING. Mr. Tracy as a Christian Lawyer. How He Broke a Solemn Promise to Moulton. RED AND PALE FACES What Beecher Thought of Another of His Counsel. A SHOWER OF BOUQUETS. The close of the second week of the great Broox- lyn trial was attended with unabated interest yesterday vy about seven hundred peopie—the full capacity of the court room, Since the trial actually begun by challenge and acceptance last Monday week, the ten days have been consumed as follow: ‘Two days In wrangling about the person who sbould preside at the trial; three days obtaining ajury; nearly three days hearing the argument for the opening of the plaintif™s case; two days andahalf with Mr. Frank Mouiton as the frst witness for the prosecution. Mr. Moulton haa not entirely closed his testi. ; mony at five o’clock yesterday, and will therefore go over to Monday, and will probably be consigned | to the lawyers for the defence alter the recess on that day. Stand the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday, and one of his counsel expressed the fancy that he | might be cross-examined ali next week. He has let his business go entrely and put himself in | training for this encounter. Having connected two of the attorneys for the aeience with his di- rect testimony, he evidently éxpects no grace for bimself. The counsel in charge of Tilton’s cause, Judge Morris, was sick all the time he was making nis long salutatory. house, he was taken with a fever and chills. Mr. Moulton took him home in bis carriage, ana re- ported on bis return that Morris appeared as if he were to have @ long spell of sickness. cast @ damper over the plaintif’s friends, and yes- terday forenoon the absence of Mr. Morris wea notable by the slow progress of the documentary testimony. It was not in the power of the lawyers for the Gefence to interpose many opjections. Judge Ful- lerton, occasionally assisted by Mr. Beach, General Pryor meantime acting as secretary, abstained from much questioning of the witness’ own story. He presented the documents and appeaied to Mouiton’s memory, and, in this way, pretty much all the written matter of Kind, including collateral newspaper matter, the Bacon letter, &¢., were consecutively put in, and the jury was perfectly pas- sive all the while. Nearly the whole jury studied Moulton. He sat more than four hours In the high witness chair, wearing a suit of dark green cassimere, and was neat and attentive. He attempted only twice to get in points of contro- | versy, but in veither case with any witticism, al- though the day beiore yesterday he got of one joke which made some merriment. He appears to be a cool, determined man, with a nature rather boyish, but capable ander dramatic teeling, of a Stout controversy. It appeared to lookers-on that some of the points he put in yesterday against the lawyers Tracy and Shearmen were not adduced by the advice of his counsel, but were involuntary. Be accused Tracy of saying that if the stories against Beecher were true Moulton was justified in lying to save him, and of having given his personal promise not to be Mr. Beecher’s counsel {1 Beecher and Moulton became antagonized, on cunsideration of sharing Moulton’s confidence.- This was a dramatic mo- mentin the trial. physique and strong countenance, sat watching Moulton and was watched in turo. It was open Gefance, both persons regarding each other like a pair of gladiators. When Moulton is angry he turns red; Tracy turns pale. Of less interest and no dramatic moment was Moulton’s arraignment of Shearman. He quoted what he swore Mr. Beecher said of his clerk, that he was a mischief-maker, &c, Shearman ducked his head and smiled, Moulton glancing at him. The usual scene of women in the court was carried out yesterday by the appearance of half a dozen, those most conspicuous being Mrs. Beecher by her busband’s side, and Mrs. Tilton between Mrs. Field and Mrs. Shearman; the latter the wife of the clerk of Plymouth church. There was nothing particularly to note abous either of these ladies. They were dressed pre- cisely a8 on former days. Mrs. Tilton looks meagre, but fresh, api wears a black veivet hat and black velvet mantie, gold eararops, a veil raised up to expose tne face abd @black silk dress. She is more fuily and newly dressed than anybody in the court, Mrs, Shearman wears a purplish velvet bonnet and plain walking attire.

Afterward, in No- ember, 1672, referring to the above conversation, Mr, ‘Tilton said to Mra Bradshaw that he retracted none of the accusatjons which he had formerly made against Mr_ Beecher. Witneas—Mrs. Andrew Bradaha' I believe a reply to these charges was prepared by Mr. Tilton, and was afterward published; 1 be- eve I spoke to Mr. Beecher on the eubject. Mr. Filllerton then asked the defendant's coun- se] for the charges, stating that they were em- braced in the plaintit’s notice, Mr, Evarte—Plymouth church is not the defend ant. Mr. Beach (smt}ing)—I don’t know about that. Mr. Evarts—Neither Plymouth ¢hurch nor the Christian religion is defendant here. The Court—!hat ts my view of the case. Mr. Evarts—Notice to produce any paper we nave will be obeyed, but to produce the arciilves of Plymouth church, we cannot. The Judge promptly decided, at Mr. Evarts’ tart suggestion that the defendant would not bring into Court papers or books belonging to the Ply- mouth charch which were not his own, that the counsel was right. “Very well,” said Fullerton, “I guess we'll get them In here some way.” “Very well, then,” exc.aimed Evarts, ‘subpoena your witnesses in the proper way. We sban’t assist you.” The object of all this was to put the onus on the church officers of falsifying the record, A BOUQUET FOR TILTON, At this instant an officer of the court advanced through the audfence with a bouquet, pinned up in white paper, and tt was given to Tiltof. He blushed and put it into his hat, on & low chair. General Pryor turned about and asked bim to open it. Tilton shook his head, Pryor intimated that ic mignt conceal a note. It was then opened and proved to be a modest collection of apparently garden flowers, put together by other hands than @ forist. The bleeding heart, red roses and red buds generally relieved on white ones, with a single sprig of evergreen, composed the offering. There was a slight effort to appiand in the gallery, as Tilton, without looking up, laid tt down on the naked tab‘e and resumed his attention of the case, It is to be observed that every night Tilton pre- pares the schedule for the next day’s proceeding, andifhe and Judge Morris should poth be taken down with sickness it would be next to impossible for the plaintiff's case 10 go on. A SUBPOENA ISSUED, Judge Fullerton caused a subpena for the ortgi- Dal charges to be prepared and served upon the defendant’s counsel, 1 do not remember anything growing out of a pubiication in the New York Sun that spoke of ex- pelling Mr. Tilton from Plymoath churen; I re- member a meeting at Plymouth church toconsider ‘he charges made against Mr. Beecher by Mr. Tilton; [bad an interview with Mr. Beecher con- cerning what had been done at that meeting; I said to Mr. Beecher that 1 thought the proper ay 4 thing to do was to drop Mr, Tilton’s name | from the roll of the church; Mr, Beecher agreed to do that; I said he was not @ member of the church and the charges could not be investigated against him, and consequently there would be no exposure of the facts between nimself aod Mra, Tilton; I think a letter was | written in which Mr. Tiiton declined an investig tion on the grounds of non-membership; I alter. ward bad @ conversation with Mr. Beecher about the scenes in the church; Mr. Beecher said tnat Mr. Tilton had come in, and, in the presence of the congregation, stated that if he had slandered his pastor he was there to answer for it; Mr. Beecher said he made as generous a reply as he could on the matter; that occurred a short time after the meeting in Piymouth church, within a day or two, | believe; I recollect there was to bea COUNCIL OF CHURCHES.

Dan Frost, Internal Revenue Assessor, who beat General Dan Sickles for the United States Senate in 1858, appeared in the gallery yesterday. There, also, was Evarts, reviving the impeachment trial of a President, Beach and Shearman suggesting the Stokes and Mansfield trial, Tracy with ¢ Memories of Callicott around him, and Pryor reaching back to ante-bellum times and his duels with Finney, Ridgway and Potter. Three Judges are among the lawyers, and one has been on the Court of Appeals, one Attorney General of the United States and one on the Alabama arbitration at Geneva.

Mr. Fullerton—! don’t say that ne bas. I merely ask if there were other aiterations? If so, let the witness state ft. Mr. Evarts remarked that that was the point. The matter was frst stated as having veen a topic of conversation between him and Mr. Beecher, but this was one alteration that the witness has spoken of, Juage Neilson was of opinion that the testimony shouid be confined to the alterations mentioned by the witness to Mr. Beécher. Pa Witness—I told Mr, Beecher there were several alterations; | do not remember them now, but i told them to him at the time; subsequent to this, in rejerence to the Bacon letter, Mr. Beecher said it was A veAp snot, Taistinctly remember he said that; when he came and asked me what reply was best to make to the Bacon letter he made use of the term 1 wave | i replied to nim, and the counsel | just referred ti gave was thi “| recommend the saine policy ‘we practisea in regard to the Woodhull ietter—{ | recommend silence,” and I submittea to him a documents which had been dictated by me to Frank Carpenter.

I hid a suvsequent conversation with Mr. Beecher about it, aud [ told him that I had seen General Tracy concerning @ reply to the Bacon letter, and that I had asked General Tiacy it he had suvmitted the paper to him, and I said to Beecher that Mr. aa replied that had seen a paper which le thougat he had recognized to be my handwriting, and that General Tracy had saia to me that the words, “I buve committed no crime,” really constituted Mr, Fuilerton—You will take it in any way.

What dia you te Mr. Beecher had been stated to you? A. I said to Mr, Beecher that my partner, Mr. Woodruff, was very anxious that Should.make some statement with regard to the Victoria Woodhull publication, inasmuch as many of his irtends and many of mine, or several of nis friends and several of mine, bad critcised my Position with reference to the story—tnat they not only critictsed me but they critt- cised the firm for my relation tothe story; and I said to Mr. Beecher that Mr. Woodruff recot mended me, under the circumstances, to take counsel in the matter, and I said to Mr. Beecher that I had asked Mr. Woodruff whom he could rec- ommend, and he said he could recommend Mr, Tracy, aud I said to Mr. Beecher that!I thought Mr. Tracy was a good man to consult on the sub- ject; that he had @ good, cool head on his shoal- dersvand | thought he would give gooa advice, and | said, “1 will consult with General Tracy, but to do 80 it will be necessary to tell him the truth; Mf you have any objection I will not do so;” and i said my partner wanted me to consult with Gen- eral ‘lracy; and he said if I thought it was best I had better do tt; and 1 said, “I do not know, but I will consult with General Tracy.” . What else? A. I said to Mr. Beecher after- ward that I nad told my partner that I was willin to consult with General Tracy, and that I hi made an appointment with General Tracy and that I had seen General Tracy on the subject of the Victoria Woodhull story. Q, Was that in company with your ‘tner? A. Yes, sir; 1 told him what transpired’ at that interview; I told him I told Mr. Tracy the truth in the matter; I told him the fact in the case as it was, that you had veen guilty of sexual inter- | COurse with Elizabeth R, Tilton, ana he said—in the presence of my partner—ii that was true it must be all out; and | satd that Mr. Traty said, although he did not recommend lying, this was One of the cases In which lying was justifiable, MOULTON BOUNCES TRACY, Moulton’s testimony as to Tracy advising him (Moulton) to “lie justiMably,” if Mr. Beecher had committed adultery with Mrs. Tilton, was received by Tracy’s face with a palior,and he giared at Moulton. The latter testified very fast and pre- cise, scarcely correcting a word. Tilton also turned around to look at Tracy. Mrs, Tilton’s ears were red and she looked nervous, Mr. Moulton continued, relating the story of nis extorting from Mr. Tracy a promise not to appear as Beecher’s counsel, as he had been arbiter and had shared the confidence of Moulton. Mr. Tracy smiled savagely and made no reply, Moulton had bis hand under his head and looked cool and bel- ligerent. The revelations at this time were highly interesting and novel, and the audience responded by jaughter and buzz to tne sallies of the counsel. Witness went on to say—I satd, too, that Mr. Woodruff my partner, said he would not allow me to publish a card denying the truth, and Mr. Tracy said, ‘Why cannot Moulton aod ton go to Bu- Tope for a couple of years?” Lalso toid Mr. Beecher that we had had a conversation at my house be- tween Woodruff, Tracy and myself and between Woodruff, Tilton anu myself, and that I had toia Mr. Tracy the truth of the case and that I had laid belore Mr. Tracy tne letter of contrition and thas 1 had told him the truth with relation to the whole matter and that, in addition to that interview, we hat tried to devise a reply to Victoria Woodhull’s story, but had not succeeded at thit interview, and I told nim that! had communicated the fact to Mr. Tilton that I nad told Generai Tracy the facts in the case, and Theodore Tilton had de- Pounced me for so doing and had said to me I had no ousiness to RRVEAL THE GUILT OP ELIZABETH | to Mr. Tracy without his consent; aiter that I had | pacified Mr. Tiiton by telling him that I considered it my duty to take the best advice { could on the question if only for Mr. Beecher'’s sake; tnat I had not consuited General Tracy as Mr. Beecher’s Iriend particularly, but as a friend of all the par- tes, a5 @ Man capadle of advising with reference to that which had better be done; I told him | after a while Theodore was willing to see General ‘Tracy, and ‘hat he went up stairs and there saw Geueral Tracy tn the presence of Mr, Woode ruff and myself, and 1 told him the first sentence Tilton uttered, after the usual saluta~ | ons between gentlemen, was, ‘Mr. Tracy, | do we understand the etiquette of your pegiessians jut, as | understand, the facta are to be laid be- fore you; how very much has been and may be laid belore you by the papers, | understand you will not, under any Circumstances ip whicu Mr. Beech- | er and myseif may come into collision, act as his counsel,!? and that Mr. Tracy had said “Certainly Dot. | Q.
