Yhat isa mater for him to argue, and I may ar- gue in support of the various propositions that we Tightiully present to Your Honor and to the jury upon evidence justiy provided under the rules of evideuce ior that purpose. Now, im regard to the identfication— Jucge—! assume it is identified, but still regard St as a le of Mrs, Woouhull, and 1 think it ts not bet ce before the Court, Evarts—Your Honor will note our exception ju will recall what I have alluded to in this wy witness’ evidence conceruing its being written by | Mr, Tilton, Judge—It was prepared by her husband and re- vised and rewritten, and he put his name to it. Mr. Beacb—If that was brougat out on their examination they can’t make it evidence in that ‘way. ur. Evarts—It will turn out om further explora- tion that Mr. Tilton contributed to it; but, of course, We cun’t anticipate now. Judge—It assumes that the “Life? represents her truly or untruly, Mr. Evaris—it is when Mr, Tilton revises it. Judge—Suppose he had written @ lie of Mr. Bowen? Mr. Evarts—We all agree that the life of this lady 13 not a matter of itsell an issue here; but the connection of this fe and Mr. Tilton as the author of the biography is the point of view in which we consider it. Judge—You can cease your argument, sir. Mr. Evaits—Your Honor will note our excep. tion. THE COUNSEL, Henry Ward Beecher listened to the evidence designed to get in the Woodhull documents against Tilton with that keem interest which showed that he very largely relied upon it to affect the jury. His wife, however, went to sleep and nodded. The jury listened with the greatest inter- est. Mr. Beach reasons in a compact, powerful way, holding the defence down to strict construction of evidence, His manner has nothing of the airy, lark-like style of Evarts, successively spiriting tor- ward his senténces— Higher still and higher ‘The ulue deep thou wingest. And singing ever soar’st, and soaring ever singest Without using fancy Mr. Evarts’ mind has the spirit of fancy, and bis argument seems to carol, descriptive in its process, and in journalism 1t would be arcumentative sketcn writing. He uses general terms very much, such as “the philosophy,” “ine law of morals,’? “the ethics of the case,’” “duty.” &. Beach has no light graces, He 1s severe, apt to be fierce, without mucn range of verbiage, and ‘With no disposition to talk at the audience. The fight at the hour of recess was intense, and Mr. Evarts showed several times a smile of tri- umpn and a Joox of disappointment. His perti- nacity is unintermittent and his plausibility does not flag until reluctantly put down, ‘The Judge at last conceded to Mr. Evarts the right to read a prufted copy, but Beach again in- terposed, The sun broke through the fog at the recess and Gooaed the room with a more cheerful light, glis- tening on Mr. Beach’s florid face and making all tbe Bar conspicuous in the frame of dark heads of the spectators, Beach, emphasizing prepositions and adverps, stormed alony, and Evarts agatn re- Plied after a miid contab between Beach and him- sell. THE JUDGE'S JOKE. The defeat of Evarts by the Judge, who ruled it out in a sentence, decided but courteous, was & back-set for the defence and gteatly relieved Tilton’s counsel. Mr, Beecher looked ‘annoyed unti! the Judge, as if to give parallel reasoning, said:— “Suppose he had written the Iile of Bowen? Would that be evidence ?”” This made Beecher laugh, and Evarts laughed While noting an exception. Tne Judge's slight remarks appear to have a solidity unknown to counsel Mr, Shearman walked over and whis- pered to a newspaper reporter, About this ume the counsel for the defence were all working close together and devotedly. It was their desire to riddle Moulton and Tilton through the Woodhull article, Evarts, therefore, returned again and again to the matter, seeking to get it im some way belore the jury, Finaliy, he appeared to succeed, but again the plaintiffs coun- bel antagonized, and so the clock touched the hour bf one. . Witness continued—I remember the article that n reierred to as the Woodhall scandal; 1 3 publsned some time in October or November, 1872; 1 beueve Mr, Tuton had been on B® political mpaign with Mr. Greeley; he went to Cluocinnail at tue time of the Convention ; nothin, ol mportonce Occurred in the summer Of 1872; vad irequent interviews with Mr, Beecher aiter the puolicuion of the Woodbuli articie on the subject of tue proper answer to make toit; {had aavieed silence, Mr. Evaris—That paper, 1f Your Honor please, was broug ts mto evidence by our learned iriends inthe wily of understand that they produced it in evidence, Mr. kuderton--[ don’t kaow how the geutieman | tame tou derstane that.

Mr. Lyarts—We will see tue examination, Mr. bvurts then read irom the previous testi- mony @ portion reierring to the non-proauction of the article that the plamti’s counsel had made use O: iu their evidence, and then called upon them to produce it. The plaintiff's counsel stated they had not got ihe paper, and Mr, Beach in re- piy s#id:—When the gentleman rises and says he reads tis or any evidence, we ass tion legal and honorary to proauce this paper, Tceny it, and the whole effort of the gentleman 1s to Unrow upon Us the responsibility of producing this articie or tuis eXtract irom the article. fuat urticte is basis of voluminous testi- Mony on the part of this witness as to what 1ook lace between bit and Mr. Beecoer concerning tt, 113 One Of the Charges against Mr. Beecher, and aig action toward the suppression of what this articie charged 18 evidence of his suit conceals Ing.

Mr. Beach—In other words, when we prove | abandantly in relation to that article a declaration | ot Mr. Beecher’s that Will ruin him, and where he | seeks the advice of this witness ior the purpose of | avoiding the ruious effect upon himself, that must be stricken out unless we produce the paper. * | udge—I conld not grant that motion without | selecting particular passages. The paper will be | bejore the Court, ‘fhe Court then took @ recess until @ quarter after two. THE RECESS. At recess a part of the audience dispersed among the various chop houses and “lunch friends’’ which abound 1n the vicinity of the Court House, and have dinner ready daily tor jury and lawyers atone o'clock, Although nobody can speak to the Jury on the subject of the trial loud debates and | witticisms are used in their hearing unconsciously, | Public opinion is periectly chaotic on the issue, | and some of the Brooklyn newspapers have at last | begun to take sides in argumentative and denun- clatory editorials. | The principals in the cause returned smiling | trom lunch, and Evarts and Fullerton bad a pleas- | ant chat on the centre of the floor, lilustrating the social dispostuon of the Bar when off duty, AFTER RECESS. Francis D. Moulton was recalied after recess and | his cross-examination was resumed by Mr. Tracy. | He said :—I do not precisely know the date when | it was I nad my first interview with Mr. Beecher | alter the Woodh&ll scandal; 1t was shortly alter; Ido not remember how long aiter it wus; it was not @ month; I nad an interview, I think, preced- | ing that imterview in which Tilton, Mr. Beecher | and myself were present; I have spoken of this | interview before; I can’t state precisely the date | when [ had the first visit; I do not remember that | it Was upon the same day that I had the interview witn Mr. Beecher; it was alter the publication of THE SCANDAL; I should tell you, General Tracy, éf 1 could recol- lect; I should think it was within a week; I don’t remember the date the scandal appeared; tne | time of the interview to which { have reierred in | my direct examination as having occurred at my | house between Mr, Beecher, Mr. Tilton, and myself Was election day, I think; !t was at another inter- view besides that that Mr. Tilton had a statement | written oi woich he sald “If Mr, Beecner can | stand that he can stand anything.” Mr. Tracy then put this question to the witnes: Now, Mr. Moulton, | read Irom an extract of what is known as the WOODHULL SCANDAL. “My friend,” meaning you, as your name has | just been used belore, “my friend took @ pistol—’” Mr. Beach—I object to this. Mr. Evarts—Tne Court can take Judicial notice that the paper is beiore the Court. Mr. ‘!racy—I will read the passage, “My friend took a pistol.” Mr. Beach—I don’t think it can be assumed that the gentieman reads from the Woodhull scandal. | Mr. Tracy—ihe paper 1s now velore the court. ‘Tne Judge—You can read it if you know it to be the PApOr. Mr, Fullerton—I think no one can say that. Mr. Evarts—We read in Woodhull @ Claftin’s Weekly vi May 11, 1873, & paper that ig a republica- tion of thé issue of Saturday, November 2, 1872, | ‘fhe Judge-—There seems to be no doubt ubout | that. Mr. Shearman—I have the original article, al- though itis more convenient to read Jrom the pa- per of November 2, 1872. Mr. Evarts—{his purports to be a republication of the whole urticle, and not a résumé. The Judge—Very weil. Mr. Tracy—I read irom the extract:—“I went to him and stated the case fully, that they were both members of Plymouth church. My iriend tovk a | 1stol and went to Mr. Beecher and demanded the etter of Mrs. Tilton UNDER PENALTY OF INSTANT DEATH.’ Did you do that? Witness—Do what, sir? Q. Whack have just read about demanding the aper ® Mr. Morris—I object. Be has already answered uestion of that very kind. | the Juige—He has sworn about this very matter beiore. He has gone over this ground with great fulness, word tor wora, Mr. ‘racy—Hv has sald that he never had any suci transaction. Now, after reading trom tne paper we ask him: if it is true? The Ju'ge—The witness stated the circum. | stances in detail, the conversation and the cir- cumstances of the pistol aud how he recollects the particulars of that case. Mr: Morris—And he dented {t every word. Mr. Evarts—We do not propose to renew that matter; we now read the statement in the paper and ask him 11 it 1s true. Mr. Beach—Phe peculiarity of the proceeding on the part of the counsel 1s that they do not ask the Witness simply if tue lact is true, but they are at- | tempring to draw in this publication by assuming | toread irom this paper of Woodhull & Ciafin, } Now, we do not wish our silence to be assumed as | proving that statement of the counsel. | ‘Lhe Judge—The f rin o1 the question ts unneces- sarily hostile to the witness. He shoutd be treated | as every ocher witness sLoulda be treated. That | question is bristling with hostility to the witness, | TRACY REBUKED. When Judge Neilson stated that the question “pristies with hostility” Mr. Tracy was rather staggered, and sat down and listened tothe re- marks ot Mr. Beach with apparent numlilty. The | fignt against the introduction of the Woodhull & | Claflin story waa again reuewed by the counsel | for the plaintiff, and for a few minutes argu- | ments and counter-arguments were thrown to | and fro with lightning rapidity. Mr. Tracy said he did not exactly know that he | could put it in any other Jorin, except to read the | extract. Mr. Beach—I object to the reading of the ex- tract. Mr. Tracy—i ask you then, witness, if you did what is there stated ? Mr. Morris—1 object to that; he may ask what he did; that 1s a statement we do uot care any- | thing about. | Mr. Beach—The counsel does not comply with | the mstruction of Your Honor in puteing the question. Mr. Morris—He may ask if he did so and so; not What ts stated. . Mr. Fuilerton—How does it appear that there is any sucd sta\ement ¥ | Mr. Evarts—He has just stated it, He has may an | stated that the paper was belore the Court, We liad a right to read it. Mr. Fullerton—it is physically before the Court, but it is nut in evidence. ‘the Judge—Ube paper was drawn to the atten- tion of the Court, and under the peculiar circum- stances it was read, Mr. Fullertun—Can it be pretenaed by the,other side that they consider that puotication In evi- | dence because it was shown in the direct exain- | ination of the witness? That betng so, let us pro- ceed @ step iurther, This part which they now jig del to read is not enougl under that ruling, {anything 1s enongnh it is the charge against Mr, Beecuer, and that aione. ‘Now they do not propose to read that charge against Mr. Beecher, but they propose to read someting else, whicn something else is not enouga because the latier paper is not | @ production in evidence. [ hold they should read | that which was within Your Houor’s ruling and nothing beyond 11, because there is nothing plainer thant a single paragraph be read it does Not loliow that the whole production ghouid go in, | The Judge—What constrained the Court to let | in the paper was the suggestion that it reveaied the scandal and contained the story which has been reierred to by tue witness on his examina- ton, Mr, Fullerton—The question put to the witness was whether in that produciton there was a charge of Lilicit intercourse on the part of Mr, Beecher with a lady therein named, Tne Juoge—! propose you read such part of the paper as you deem material, then interrogate. Mr. Fuilertou—Lae part of the paper as they deem material? ‘Lhe Judge—As regards the charge. Mr. Evarts—As to the story tnis witness has spoken o/ as the subject of conversation between him and Mr. Beecner ¢ The Judge—Yes, sir, such part as y8u understand reters to thar. Mr. Fulierton—I supposed they were to read such Papers as the Court uaderstood, The Judge— Mr, Fuilerton. my learned trend ferent things. Mr. Beach—I ask Counsel to submit wnat they Propose to read. Mr. ‘Ilracy—L propose to read:—“I had one Iriena,” vown to that— i Mr. Beach—I whwk it More proper that Your Honor should look at this book than I should, 1 have marked tue points.

Mr. Fullerton—The medicine does not appear suitaole lor the disease. Mr. Tracy —We cannot tell that until we try the medicine, Mr. Beecher evidently appreciated Judge Nell- son's remark as to the medicinal qualities of the Woodhull & Claflin story, as a broad smile | Passed over his face, deepening, If possible, the Yuddy color with which he has been so liberally endowed. Judge Nelison has not ventilated his humor on many occasions, but when he gave ex- pression to some happy thought it generally was received with telling effect. The question was then dropped for the present an KY witness was interrogated in reference to what SOURCES OF REVENUE Theodore Tilton had, according to the knowledge: of the witness, irom January 1, 1871, to May, 1874, He replied—The money he (filton) bad on deposit with Woodruff & Robinson, the subscriptions or contributions to the Golden Age—l mean by sub- scriptions to capital stock; then he had the in- come from the paper; he had also $7,000 from Mr. Bowen, and | think, trom May 2, 1878, the $5,000 jrom Mr. Beecher, which he did not know any- thing about whatever. Mr. Tracy moved that the last answer be stricken out. The Judge—The words, “which he did not know anything about whatever,” must be stricken oat, | Witness—That $5,000 came irom Mr. Beecner; 1 don’t know whether the book ‘lempest-Tossed’” Was issued before May, 1873, or nut; know whether ne received any income from tt or not; Ido not Know ol my own knowledge whether he received any income irom the Golden Age or Whether it jalied to pay expenses; | think I have named all the sources of Mr. Thiton’s income to my knowledge; these include borrowed money— money borrowed from myse! or others; 1 do not know that he had auy other loans; I know of no other junds supplied for the Golden cannot determine the amount of income he received from my ioans; 1 had it examined into, a3 1 had promised to tell Mr. Porter; I have looked over tne books, but I cannot determine the amount; t nave Dot vrougat the books nere, sir; 1 know of his having income from lectures during that time; ne did, I believe, have such income; | don’t Know bow much; my Impression ts that he lectured in the beginning of 1871 and.in the spring of 1872; 1 think so; the lec- 1 do not | tures produced him some income; [ don’t know | | the amount; I thiuk I have named all the sources of his income, so tar as [ recollect; he had money | _— gut, | guess. on deposit with our firm during that time; I don’t Know that he had any ower bauk account; 1 do not pretend to state Irim memory how the account 8'00d on April 2, when he received $2,000; I had not very often loaned nim money during that time; sometimes | asked him if HE WANTED MONEY; and if he said he did, | Joaned it to him; Mr. Porter asked me if my loans ever exceeded $5,000, and I gaid no; 1 dou’t recoliect what was the largest sum lever loaned him at any one time; the two amounts were independent of tie contri- | bution; Tcan say thatI never loaned bitn to ex- ceed $600 at any one time; It would appear from the account that it was overdrawn $554 79 at the time he received the money irom Mr. Bowen; I | will add up, and answer your question, “At the time he received from Bowen vie $7,000, much was bis account overdrawn, all the money 4 your firm’s hands belonging to him ?’? the ac- count seems to be closed on April 21; the last | not item of the account was withdrawn April 21, 1873; according to the account tie next to the asi item was withdrawn December 27; the amount was $600; the Senpune seems to have been bal- 873. anced Apri! drew on the 27th of December had Wren ng anything remaining, and if so how much? A. | ‘ould Mr. Shearman please add this up? I canhot see; I don’t Know that Mr. Tilton had any source of Income, except Irom the Golden Age, irom Jan- uary 1, 1873, to the receipt of the $6,000 by me from Mr, Beecher, in Muy, 1873; | do not know whether thy Golden Age paid or not; ! don’t rec- oliect that loaned him money during tnat time, and I do not know of my own knowledge that anybody else did; I had an interview with Mr, | Beecher in reference to tac FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS before I received it; there were interviews at my house about it more than once; it was never in reierence to helping the Golden Age; | think there was more than one interview about the $5,000. Q. At either of these interviews did you show to Mr. Beecher a draft or check of any person, sayin, to him, “This is iriendsnip, indeed: this 18 what call FRIENDSHIP?” A. Ido not remember that that was the phrase. | ology, sir ? » Q. Did you show him a draft from any Person which you had recetved as a contribution to the Golder Age or to Theodore Tilton? A. li you will allow me 1 will tell you what I did to the best of my recollection; I told him that there was a friend of mine and Mr, Tilton’s wio sent me either a check or two checks, and in addition to it a no‘e— i forget how much—wnish the person wished me to discount and use as L saw fit tor the Golden Age, und I did not think it Was best to do it. Mr. Lvarts—What did you say to Mr. Beecher ? I told Mr, Beecher that Mr. Tilton would not take that money, Q. What was the character of it? A, That I don’t rememoper. Don’t you remember anything about it? A, No, sir; I have usked about it recently. Q. Do you 1emember whether tt was as bigh as $5,000, ‘A. I dou’t recollect. Q. You say you showed Mr. Beecher those draitsy A. Yes, sir. Q. Did he see the name? A. Yes, sir, Q. Was the name mentioned? A. I think it was; Idon’t recollect whether it was as high as $3,000 I think there was one check and one note; I think there were two pieces of paper. Q. Who was it? Mr. Moulton—Am I to answer the question, Your Honor? The Judge—I don’t think It material, Mr. Morris—We object, MR. BEECHER ASLEEP, While Mr, Tracy was putting Mr. Moulton through a searching cross-examination in regard to Mr. Tilton’s account with their firm, Mr. Beecher aud his brother, Dr. Edward Beecher, lost interest in the evidence and slumbere4 peace- fully. The Piymouth pastor supported his massive head on his right hand, and, with his eyelids closed, appeared perfectly oblivious of the statements of the witness until Moulton, when asked the name of a cer- tain party connected with’ the story, turned to Judge Neilson, and said “Shall 1 answer that question y’’ He then woke up with a slight start and followed closely the arguments of counsel upon that point, and after Mr. Evarts accepted the rebuke administered by Judge Neilson, he rose from his seat and, leaning over the chair of Mr. Tracy, whispered in his ear with much earnestness. Mr. Evarts Went on to say that it was part of the conversation with Mr. Beecher. The Judge—But the name was not mentioned. Mr. Tracy—We want ail the conversation. The Juuge—' but 1 think the name pught not to be mentioned. Go on with the examffation. Mr. Beach—Where oue party Calls jor part of a conversation, and it 18 given, the other party may give the remainder, so far as to eXplain the part put in evidence; but that does not make the whole matter where Mr. Beecher shared in the convers ition material. Tue Judge—Mr. Tilton Was not present at the conversation. Mr. Evarts—Even if he had been it would make no difference. Mr, Beaciu—What are you asking ? Pe! Kvarts—What this witness sald to Mr. Béecher. The Judge—Some person sent a contribution to the Golden Age aud Mr. Mouiton showed tue check to Mr. Beecher. The whole thing 1s coliateral and does not ail tho issue we are trying, though 1b may have some effect on the question Whetner Mr. Tilton had means or not. Mr. Evarts—We propose to show what did pass between Mr. Beecher and this witness and then we Will see if the construction put on it 1s the true one. Mr. Beach—The witness has given no construc: tion of tt. Mr. Evarts—He has given one of the interviews, and (he result of What passed potween the wituess and Mr. Beecher may bear upon Mr. Beecner'’s contribution. w Mr. Beach—We have given no interview in ref- erence to the Golden Age or the contribution to It. We gave in evidence an interview at which Mr, Beecaer contributed $5,000 .or some pur) ose. Now, all reiating to that was evidence, and we gave tie e 01 Ite The Judge—vearing entirely as to that $5,090. Mr. Beach—Now they propose to prove a con versation vetween tue Wiibess aud Mr. Beecuer as to a contribution by @ third party to tie Golaen Age, Which controution was rejected, That is not evidence against us. ‘The Judge—loey admit that, M varis—Can’t We show by this witness the directions that he received, Ul auy, to carry on tue concern? ve Judge—When inquiring for a part of a con- versation you Gun ask ior the Pest Ol it, As to tuis $9,000, Mr Bt ner gave uny direviions about tf, tt would be competent to ask about that But here isa third party, and L think 1b ts uot Maw | terial to the issue to ask Woo that party ts.
