The Judge Thinks the Witness is Oppressed. The patient heads im the jury box, sitting in two rows under the dark sky of Friday, closing out the third week of mere receptiveness—listening, nodding, whiling away the days, that Justice may make them its oracles—looked unusually like the neads of martyrs yesterday, It was drizzling and everybody's ‘ect were cold, though the air of tue | court was beavy and feverish. The cough that mankind raised all day showed the strong Brook- lyn climate, which is@aid to permit no puny chil- dren to proceed with lite; and thereiore some of the biggest, voisiest, trimmest women in the | World live on the Heights, and as they are en- countered, broad-shouldered and pretty, they re- call the large and swelling ferryboata wnoica come into Fuiton sitp, School adjourns just after the daily recess of the Court, aod then it is a sight to see Brooklyn swarm suddenly with color and bloom, and shapely maidenhood, crossing the open plazas around tne Court House, all looking up and prattling, a little tn jest or partisauship, of the scene witain, wucre two school children of Brooklyn, not many years ago, are now arrayed against each other alter tne mutuai love o! years, the recompense of children and the nonor of distinction, There, also is he whose tones have sounded higner and with wider vibrations for twenty-five years than the great bell of tue City Hall, which | every day bounds and resounds upon his ears, | | | | Sitting there @ delendant in @ suit tor such damages a3 might rebuild another Plymouth church, For years to come, no doubt, that beil and its successors will swing above tue guardians of the city on the Heights, And still the people hearing It wilt revive the in- Uricacies of this prodigious scandal as it floats in mellower Unts down the stream of yet &@ ro. | mance, a superstition, something balanced be- tween love and crime. Awise and caretul judge sald a few days ago, when somebody said to him, “Brooklyn ts the city of scandals,’ “No; it 18 not thecity. Itis the time, Things are po worse now; only more found out.” The Brooxlyn papers announce yet other scan- dais to come, this time in local political circles; and it may have been that a paramount scandal ike ‘the present, stimulating the suspicions of people in marital Jife, has resulted in many con- jogal troubles not belore apprehemded. But as to ; the effect of the act of trial itself tne | tumng in Court, it 18 doing good rather than evil. It has been a@ clean trial, few coarse statements and no coarse words entering into it, and very little hag been said hard to the ears of the ladies who are present every day. The spectacle of justice, im all its gravity | and thoroughness, brings a sober realisation of | responsibility to every attendant and surrounding citizen, Here 18 evicence and not rumor: the greatest head es as low as the poorest concerned in the lusue. Fame drops its trumpet here and penury finds protection. Insinuation, born of the mind’s disease, 13 exorcised, and hearsay 18 sent to the rightabout. ‘The skilled contenders in the law wrangle in the presence of a judge who is neither a respecter of persons nor in any sense the second dignitary of tne Court. He is all the Court, and he divides the Red Sea that the testi- mony may go through on the dry ground, and the waves roll back only when the injurer, whoever he may be, is ready to be suomerged, Far from this place the issue is distantly di- rected, At Albany the term of the Court is ex- tended by law in order that the conclusion may | Bot be prolonged to the day of doom. This should hasten the trial, In every part of the country lawyers are joilowing the case closely, and stu- | Gents of human character are observing the com- parative stability and worth’of the parties in the | controversy. No witness in thts country ever made such @ reputation, as @ witness purely, as Frank Moulton, and probabiy so many eminent lawyeranever voluateered on very slight pros- pects of adequate compensation. It is mot the stage on trial, as in the Forrest case, nor social | Politics, a3 in the Sickles case, nor personal batred | and impulsive crime in ths profeastons, as in the Parkman case. The Christian Cnurch, the orthodox wile, the radical school of thought, the human heart in its optimism and the brain fn its broadest endowment and highest activity are here somewhat on trial or in attendance. It is very like a challenge from the old religious past of sirict construction in religious things to the more confident and latitudinarian present, sayings— “Ye have denied the depravity of the rt and claimed a higuer origin and interpretation of man. Behoid your opportunity to prove it good in tne person of the highest among you!” , Yesterday was the eighth day of the witness. Moniton has been on the stand since last Thurs- day week. The most notable triumph for tne defence was crowding in tue ieiter 0: August 4, 1874, written by Mr. Beecher to Mouiton praying for the pubil- cation o| any ietter he mignt possess, This letter was notable becat it put before the jury his explanation of himself and ais position im lien of jormal evidence to that effect. This act was the shrewdest performance of Mr, Ev@rts, and was cone alter Judge Porter had faiied to get the letter admived by the Judge.

ORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1875.-WITH SU ugly, He plunged immediately into free love and the Woodhall Woman, and had not got far before the Judge sternly interposed :— “Do you propose to foliow this line of inquiry, Mr, Tracy? I shall sto iu, Sir, Ifyou do,” Tracy, whose face was already rather livid, countered by the witness twoor three times in Mouiton’s manifestiy saperior vocabulary and perspicacity, became still paler, and in tyat glaring Way be has at mad umes folded bis arms and let Bvarts make the argument. The Judge held that Tilton murnt have introduced the Woodhull woman atthe Steinway jiall meeting and have Deen Ignorant Of the seuuments she Celivered alter such Introduction, siolding that it must be proved first thut Tilton had read the speech, he ruled this Matter out, Thus, one of the strongest rellances of ihe defence to prejudice the jury @,aibst Mouiton’s and ‘liltou’s supposititious weakness for Platonic or St, Simontan views was bafied at the outset, and the Court and the public spared a aeiuge O: Iree-love Giulectics, the forenoon, and the advantage was rather with the defence, TER EVIDENCE, At the opening ef the Court the cross-examina- — of Francis D, Moulton was resumed by Mr. racy, Witness stated—I do not think I advised Mr. Beecher to preside for Mrs. Woodhull at Steinway Hail; 1 was not iurnished with a printed copy of her speech in auvance of the meeting; | never saw ope; Mr, Tilton Was never given one in my breseuice, either in print ur manuscript; L never saw such @ copy in Mr. Tiltou’s possession; I do Mrs. Woodhull to Mr. Beecher on that supject; I do not kuow that the letser has been produced, Mr. Beach—It nus not, ‘The proposed fetter introduced, Witness—Anot. er proposed letter, Mr, Beach, Examination continued—I have no reco\lection Of acing in conjunction with Mr. futon and tak- ing Mrs, Woodhai) into the presence of Mr. Beecher™ and trying to persugue him to preside at tbat meetiug; 1 do not recoliect whether we toree ever did, bus I remember. doing so with Mrs. Wooahull; 1 do not remember saying to Mr. Bee-oer, in the presence o: Mrs. Woodhull and Mr. Tilton, “Mr. Beecher, some day you have to fail Go and imtroduce this woman to the radicals and it wil break your {all;’ 1 was mever present at such an in- terview; 1 was present at the Steinway Hail meeting; I went with Mr, Tilton; he intros duced Mrs, Woodnuill; { think he occupied the chair; he fira¢dutroduced Mrs, Woodhull aud then ocoupied the chair; 1 rewember bis waiking to the lront o1 the platiorm With his coat on bis arm aud then introducing Mrs, Woodnuil; | believe I heard almost all of ner speecn; | ao not know what waa cailed the ttle of the speech; I cannot recollect definitely the SUBJEOr OF THE SPRECH; the point of the speech was the relation of man to woman and wotfap to man and woman to so- ciety; I cannot tel? you whether it Was avout tue marriage relations, Judge—Haven’t you gone far enough with that, Mr. Tracy? Mr. iracy—Was it not on what you call the doc- trines of Iree love? Judgee-Do you wish to go into that? I think you shoud 1.0. | Mi —We bow to the decision of the Court. Judge—uy view is simply tuis:—li Mr. Lilton knew veiure he introduced the speaker what tne speech Was, then he would be responsive for what Was suid, but 1! ue did uot know 10 prior to intru- ducing her chat did aot make ulm responsivle ior what foliowed. Mr, iracy—\Ve can only show one fact at a time. We show he introduced her aud she made a speech, and we way show he Knew what that speeca was before 1t was delivered, and We examine this wit- ness for hat, We desire to wave this question an. swered now. Judge—i role it ont. Mr. Lracy —Your Honor will note our exception. Mr, Evarts—Wiil the stenographer read tae ques- tiont ; | Stenographer—Wasn't it on what was called | the doctrine ol free love? Mr, Evarts—!s tnat objected to by the other side? Judge—I object to it. Mr, Evarts—Your Honor will note our exception. Crosa-examination continued, By Mr. tracy—Do you know whetuer the friendly reluitions between Mr. Lilton and Mrs. Woodnull continued after that speecn? A, I think they aid, What wa $ the date of tue speech, of the ch, Mr. Tracy? Mr, Trucy—November 20, 1871, Wituess continucd—I remained on friendly rela- tious with mrs. Woodnuil aiter that speeco; 1 do not recollect whether Mrs. Woodhull came to my house ater that speech: 1 think Mr. Tilton was at my house one day Wuen the subject of Mrs, Wuoa- nui’s speech Was discussed; 1 think Mr. Tilton eaw Mrs. Woodhull op tuat 3.1 think he con- versed witn ber; 1do not know whetner he went away with her.

Witness—No. Mr. Morris—He did not teli you whether he was attorney. He said he had authority. Judge—He wus the agent, Wimmess—Mr, Tilton authorized me, which was the sact, to settle tue claim against Bowen. | Witness then stated:—I tovk the charge of col- lecting toat claim; 1 was authorized by letter on eituer January 1 or 2; in guance Ol that gutnority 1 saw Mr, Bowen ani esented Mr, Til- ton’ ciaim; I demanded something near $7,000; he suid that he did not think he owed Mr. ‘Tilton | any money, and if he thought he did be would arbitrate. ~ Q. Did ne say why He didn’t think he owed Mr. Tilton apy money ¢ Mr, Beach—Are those declarations to be admit- ted, sir’ I submit to Your Honor it is entirely iai- material what Nr. Boweo assumed in regard to tye reasons why he resisted the claim of Mr. ‘Tilton, ‘Ybe counsel then argued to some extent on the right of admitting toe assumptions o1 Mr. Bowen, aud Judge Neilson finally stated, “You can an- swer, Air. Moulton, the question us to the ciaim and its validity.” The stenographer then read the last question, and the WITNESS CONTINUED. He said he did not think ne did, and if I thougnt he dia he would be wiliing to arbitrate; that in- terview was on either tue lst or 24 0: January; I aiterward saw Mr. Bowen at my house, and be said again he was wiliing to arbitrate; 1 toiok Mr. Tilton had told we inthe Meantime that he was Wiiling to arbitrate; [said] aid not wish to arpl- trate; L said tv Mr. Buwen, “The contract provides | other and specific provision—that 1s, im the con- tract, in regard to its tetmimation; | think you have terminated the contract, and it has several plain provisions—that 13, it can terminate in any Of these ways, that on notice It can be terminated at once by pay- | Ment of a Certain sum of money—l Chink It Was $2,500 or $3,00v Which Was mentioned in the con- tract"—and he said he thought the contract required arbitration; that there was a provision that i there was a@ difference between the editor and publishers that the Interpretation of the con- tract Was tha’ arbitration shouid be resorted to— that the dificalcy snould be settied by arbitration ; I said to Mr. bowen, **/ bat is as regards tis dunes as editor to yourself and yours us pubilsher to Dim as eaitor; aud then tuere w&s anuther grouna Whicu Lspoke to bim avout.

Fullerton 1s the nimble foil of counsel, not always ready, but sometimes very happy in side remarks. Pearsali, the juntor counsel, has been very quiet ali along, but is said to have @ great fund of dry humor, stutteringly uttered.

It was RECONSTRUCT THE RUIN 2 in which Mr. ‘I1iton was placed, and to procure thi poweriui influence of Mr. Beecher, as we ha shown, and as we know in the step following, the Steinway Hallmeeting. Further than this there Was, as We shall show, & great necessity for them to put forth all these efforts, But as tins witness has detailed, every now and then there was coming some fabrication, some discussion. ‘There was the card of Mrs, Woodhull, in the spring of 1872; there was later or alterward the pubitcation of an article in the tall of 1872, and 80, now, finally, in the Bacon letter there is constant introduction of subjects to public nouce Wuich We suppose, under acts and evidence in direct prool, are connected with the wovement of Tilton with the Knowledge abd co-operation of Moulton, and that there wud no sincerity, bo action of a sincere nature toward suppression, but a comstant keeping alive a con- diuon more or less obscure of scandal and re- proach in reference to Mr. Beecuer, and made tne occasion of the interviews and transactions that this witness bas detatied, ‘This ‘Lue of Victoria Woodhull is the evidence of Mr, Tilton’s prostra- tion in fortune and reputation in reapect to bis credit and vocation of an editor, and accounts ior “Sir Marmaduxe’s Musings,”’ which havg been put in evidence by our learned iriends, Now, in that “Musing’’—tnat lorm of “S$IR MARMADUKE’S MUSINGS,” very eloquent, very beautilul, put very general, the course of ruin i which he had finally come to succumd, contains the evidence of that destruc. tion Oi that worldiy prosperity and oi the puviic rebuke of his course, having relation to these mat, ters of his commercial prosperity m regard to thm matier ol the editorship. Tuese views we submit to your consideration, MR, EVARTS’ LAW AND LOGIC, When the Judge rujed out the life of Woodhull by Tilton, with a decided tone, Tracy, Shearman and Evarts held a close consultation, standing up end Morris, Fullerton, Pryor and Pearsall held another earnest consultation, sitting down, This led to Mr. Evarts being chosen to make an argue ment for the admission of the Woodhull matter generaily. Tilton whispered to Fulierton, and Mrs. Beecher looked steraly at Tilton, Toe argument of Mr. Evarts showed bis pecuilar power, which ig not so much in the perfection of its law as in his ability to make a statement presenting a case Juminously to the average mind, and with the highest form of pigusibility, namely, dignity. He sometimes see! to arag his voice up to an inflection, and occasionally the listener Wil feel, from sympathy, @ sense of pain in his throat. The point he brought out was that “sir Marmaduke’s Mustaga’ might late been-ihe ro- sult of Tilton’s unpopularity after pubdlisning Woodnhull’s lite. 1t was very Ingenious, but Mr. Beach presently stigmatized it as a style of reason- ing which was merely argument, and of assump. tions based On no evidence. Roger A, Pryor, who has a very good literarf mind and literary culture, listened to Mr. Evarts’ argument as if he admirea, while he chaliengea it. Mi. BEACH REPLIES, Mr. Beach—The argument which has been sub mitted by the learned counsel it scems to me, Your Honor, would be more = appropriate ia another aud subsequent stage of these proceed- Ings. It consisls Ol assumptions of jacts and of @ system Oo! reasoning which ty simply argument, and is, as We contend, unlounded on tae evidence. That the prospecis of Mr, ‘1iiton at the time spoken of Were not p-osperous we do not proporg to deuy; that he was suiferiug from pecuniary em- barrassmenis, and was enduring to a very con: side.able extent, jor some reason or otuer, the disapproba/\on Of a portion of tue community, 18 very distinc jy apparent. It 1 anaerstand the argument oi the learned counsel, he proposes 0; the introduction of tuts biograpay ot Mrs, Wood- huil to attrtoute thas deciiming condition to its puolication; but 1n the Orsi place there is no evi- dence cresting any conuection between the for- tunes of Mr. Tiiton and the publication of this w The proof of that tact would in itself be very difficuit and necessarily indefinite, uniess the counsel were periitted to prove by the oplul- ONS OF declarations of others the SPECIFIC OFFENCE which tt has produced upon the community, and assaming that there was any legitimate means of evidence by which that assumption could be de- monstrated. ‘there 1s bothing yet in evidence to show any relation between tne two things. My iriend gives Very proper c.edit to the poetic effu- Blons Of this piaintif, entitled “Sir Marmaduke’s Musings,” and he assumes to say that that isa poetical and pathetic descripuon of the injury ww Dis prospects and condition procured by his con- mecuon with Mrs. Woodhull, Pray, Your tionor, nad 2 where 18 the evidence o: that? It certainly has not yet Been revealed, but is purely & matter of argument upon the — part of the learned counsel. Bul, sir, do not propose here to answer this argu ment. As 1 said beiore, at the proper ume, and I trust ina proper manner, this wnule theory ol the defence wili be ¢Xumined upon the evidence, fud the jacts revealed by une evidence, and it may be possivle that upon that occasion it will be easy to show that the misfortunes which have lailen upon this piaintit originated irom au alto- gether ulllerent and more cilicient cause; a cause clearly and abundantly recognized by the defend- ant.
