TRIAL Getting Deeper and Deeper Into the Scandal. TRACY AS A MUTUAL FRIEND. Why He Considers Lying Some- times Justifiable. TILTON ON THE STAND. Argument Against His Be- ing Heard. THE LAW OF EVIDENCE. When a Husband or Wife Is Debarred, Yesterday was acomparatively eventful day at the great trial, Mr. Beecher was there and nis wife, with a goodly attendance of their faitn:ul membership. He wasin very fair spirits and appearance, and watched all the proceedings with his directing eyes, which keep his attorneys constant and devour intelligeatiy the radiations of the scandal. He does not speak aloud; he moves modestly, now and then, from his seac in the rear to his lawyers, He te never wholly oblivious to what is going on, and seldom desperately intent upon any part of the process. ‘here he sits, a countenance almost transparent, @ figure robust in the noon of middie age, @ soul expressing itwelf through all very grand and revealing tu see In the dearest of our valleys, By good spirits tenanted, 0 @ rare and radiant CO— Radiant palace—rearea its head, In the monarch Thought’s dominion, It stood there, So, haunted with ail sorts of invisible messen- gers, looked Mr. Beecher. At his side that constant and great-moulaed gentle wie kept her piace, the easence and the fame of New Engiand, worthy of bis great tame apd easily suggestive of the love with which sne inspired him. Many a noble figure of speech, the source of many a periect reminiscence touch- ing the tried and true and comforting their path has Mrs, Beecher inspired. She has walked the pastures of youth with her husband, grazed upon lie in its heyday with him, watched the younger. born of their affection come forth like buds and blossoms in the lawn of life, and still she is there, a trifle worn and older, to accom- pany him through this long journey of trial and ordeal, irom which, a8 thousands hope and ex- pect, he will come with God’s delivery. There is sometaing in that court, hovering like & disembodied sound, an unuttered oracle, a half-woven, always proceeding destiny. It is the riddle of every trial, its answer is questioned be- fore the conundram is put, and disputed before its propriety has been tested. Its the verdict, Long ago, in the past, soothsayers and magi, wigzaras and oracles, with whose fulminations history 18 electric, looked probably ordinary as these jurymen, Th rage clotues of men sel- dom mena by civilization. The beard grows about the same with Job in the,old dispensation and Job in this, Fetch @ man up at the same given hour in the morning, make it a contempt of court if ne be late in the jury box, let bis barber and razor maker go Scot free if anything in their province befail bim, and then, with @ small daily dowceur— @ bottle of sherry at the expense of Kings county inclued—xeep him two months in one chair, and he will depart with at least @ dislike of hard knots and splinters in that seat. And the audience! Shall they be a subject of aympatby, who stare there with their mouths ajar and mock the season of fies? it is a good audi- ence, pivoted between agrin anc wonder. Their tickle bone appears to be scratched by Puck on the least occasion, and they laugh at nothing and everything and applaud a tone as much as @ sen- timent, Ifthe Court gave them the least chance they would roll on the floor, expire in convulsions, go through the window like @ flock of sheep in file and run home to their wives excited with Bothing to tell. Justice is the best joker in the world, If it relaxes an instant the multitude grows inspired, and wit, as everybody knows but does not think, consists in speaking out in meeting. ‘That audience contains all the seven ages of men. It is the same immemorial audience which went inthe procession to Tyburn and to Tower Hili, listened to the trial of Queen Caroline, saw ali the martyrs of ail the religions burned, and never differed with the Court im any respect what- ever, ‘superficially it is noted for having its Mouth open and its corns nedged. The subject of 48 aeep resentment is the doorkeeper and the tpsteaf, and the height of its ambition is to pop into another person’s chair. Every man in that audience thinks his neighbor perfectly informed and himsel! wholly at sea. Mrs, Tilton waa notin court yesterday. She is said by some to be Ul; by others to be surfeitea of the trial, Wish her have departed her ladies in waiting. Her modest, childlike face 18 a loss to the tournament, but let us hope abe does not aeed this spectacie to fill the weary flight of hours. The proceedings yesterday were summed up in the admission aud rendering of Mr, Woodruf’s testimony, the attempt of Theodore Tilton to take the witoess chair and the long argument there- about which is to try the power of counsel. Mr. Bvarts was heard at bis best yesterday. Beach and Pryor will reply, aud perhaps Porter. Pryor began yesterday. i Tilvon be put on the stand Mr. Beecher wil) probably go there without objection. If Tilton be kept off the stand Mr. beecner may be objected to. We are now in the heyday ana middle heat of the trial, and still the interest i without abatement, and the great personal and human arama moves along. JUDGE NRBILSON ON TRACY, When the court vpened Mr. Woodruff took his seat in the witness chair, and thén Judge Neilson said :—Having had under consideration the objec: Vion made last eveniug, 1 think the Lotion Of pro- sessional relation is tu be dismissed irom tne ques- tion and hot necessary to it can’t recognize that Mr. Tracy was there fm @ professional ca- pacity.

WOODRUFF, recalled, Continued his direct examination, being quastioned, by Judge Fullerton :—I called at Mr. ‘ac\’s office With Mr. Moulton, at hal!-past eight o’clock in the Moraing, for the purpose o1 hearing Mr. Moulton relate to Mr. Tracy the history of | these scandy! matters; Mr. Moulton proceeded to tell Mr. Tridcy all the points about the Woodhull he told him what he had done in regard to the matter aud what Mr. Beecher had dove; he told General Tracy that the essential points of this Woodnall Rg published in the paper were hat Mr. Beecher went to his nouse, and that ‘8. ‘Wilton had written a conjession and after- ward @ retraction, and he told General ‘racy what he had done; that he had striven to keep this story covered up so far us could do it; but now the story was published by the Woodhull & Claflin paper, and thas I was very urgent thas something should be done, and was fearful he would make some stacement under advice of counsel; ule told Tracy he had oeen asked to deny the story in @ pubiic card; | protested against it; I was not willing he should do iL, General Tracy said in reply to thi Mr. Evarts then objected to what ral Tracy had said being repeated by the witn and the Judge ruled the statements of the witness must be admitted, Mr. Woodruff then continued:-—I sala I pro- tested against it; a# & partner of mine | wouidn’t allow him; that | tnoughtit very wroug to make gny such statement of the story be knew was true; Lracy said he didn’t uphold lying, but he thought there were some cases, and in this case particularly, that a man would be justified im de- nying such a statement; I replied that 1 wasn’t willing that a partner of mine should deny a statement that he knew to be true; Tracy said, Couldn’t Tilton ana Moulton take a trip to Europe? T said no, that it couldn’t be done; Mr. Robinson was away DOW und that was utterly impossible; then Moulton said he had observed sileuce in tne matter all aiong, and Lagreec with that and Tracy suid silence was the best thing for both parties, for all parties Interested; and that was the sum and substance of the conversation that morning; then we called at Moulton’s house—it was Sunday evening—and had this couversation by appoint- ment; ‘liiton was there, Moulton was tbere, { was there and General Tracy came there, and we all went up into Moulton’s study, in the top story of the house; and then Mr. Moulton and Mr, Tilton hada conversation with General Tracy about tie case, 1n addition to what Mr. Moutton had said; but Mr. Tilton expressed an unwillingoess to have General Tracy brougnt into the Cy he said to | General ‘Tracy, “If Beecher and I should ever go to law or into the courts in regurd to this matter, could you or would you ever be counsel im this suit?

JUDGE NEILSON PROTECTING TRACY. ‘The Judge—I would like to say before counsel go on with tue cross-exumination tut walle they will of course @Xercise theit own judgment in re- gard to the conduct of the cross-examination, still it may nov be best to go very Jar into the question of the proiessional conduct of Mr. Tracy. He 18 @ gentieman of very high character and very conscientious 10 the discharge o1 Dis duties, and no doubt deemed 11 necessary to do what ne did, It 1s probably unnecessary toat bis conduct sbould on this occasion be vindicated.

Do you rememoper any allusion veing made to another woman that day? a. 1 do not recol lect any allusion to @ woman; he said Mr. Beecher had been guilty of adultery, but he did not say with whom, Q. Did cot say with whom? A. No, sir, Witness continued—I had a certain interest in the Golden ae When it started ; I was in the havit ot Rolng to Mr. Moulton’s irequently about the beginning of 1871, and I met Mr. Tilton there once or twice; it was rarely [ met him belore that, and he tolu me about being thrown off the Union and dine '; Mr. Moulton had taiked with me about the case, ana that Mr, Tilton was out of em- ployment, and he expressed a wish to vave & pa- per of his own; Lasked him what 1t would cost to start a paper, and he said a paper could be started for $15,000 or $20,000 cash; the paper question was talked over, and we talked with otner peopie about it, and then the Golden age a8 Started on the ist of March, 1871; I subecribed $3,000; 1 believe $12,000 wags subscribed in all; Mr. Tilton added about $4,000; 1 believe the subscriptions Were called ia from UUme to time. as they Were wanted; | think halt of the subscription was paid atone time; I received Mr, ‘ulton’s note for that subscription; his note for what | paid; these notes represent one-halr ot what was paid in, Have you ever paid the whole of that $8,000 subscribed to the Golden Age? A. No, sur; I have been released from the engagement, Q. Released by whom? A. lt was done in this Way; in June, 1872, Mr. Tilton said the Golden age Was about raed 3 its way, and “I owe you about $1,500;” I said, “is that so? you are in wonderu! good sia; eb then remembered be had $7,000 deposited with our firm, which he had received the day before from Bowen, and I said to him, in- stead of calling in any other money, woulu 14 not be better for him to surrender the notes as part of the loss sustained in starting the paper, and tue matter came about in that Way.

Mr. Tracy—Just as soon as you can get them. Mu, TILTON APPEARS, When Mr. Woodrag had testified, his large, solid features scarcely relaxing, there was a quick movement of Theouore [ilton, apparently under- stood by his counsel. He was out of his usual place and im the chair generally occupied by Law- yer Pearsall, near the Judge’s stand and the wit- ness box. Atonce he arose, mounted the box, took the chair, and the loud, thundering clerk proceeded’ to administer the oatn stentoriousiy. Mr. Evarts shot up like @ puppet irom a spring box. The Judge had anticipated the argument. He settled back and waited for the talk, while Tilton crossed his legs and kept the position. The jury all looked at ‘Tilton, over and over, ana tle nameless evidence of the human face, by wnich so many men are judged, gave silently its purport there; none knew to what effect; for the jurymen have all, or generally, sworn that they had no acquaintance whatever with Mr, Tilton, ‘The plaintiff’s face there was the same we have long seen in court, a face “put into circumspection: and confine” for the usos of this trial; for, despite all his former loquacity and patronage of reporters, Tilton has scarcely addressed anybody but counsel’ during all the trial. He has been hard worked, and, by design, he has dismissed everything but his armor bearers, A long, striking Dgure, with abundant legs and waist, a tall neck, fowing brown hair and the countenance of one meditative and without a temper, the air of pain and endurance be- comes him. That he 1s @ scion of the church is manifest; he is too unworldly to be lovable; he was born, like the prophet Samuel, to respond to. Clerical orders and wear the face of the beatitudes, After Frank Mouiton’s testimony, worldly and boyish, Tilton in the chair looked like a iemale sphynx, or something not of us nor very near our nature, His eyes lacked grip. They were always farom, The face hada Kina of parboiled pain in it; the want of beard gave it the sense not of un- Manliness but of girlishness, He was, however, vern-souled character, as all know who have approached him. Until bis lips are unsealed we may dismiss him. ‘The witness then left the stand. The counsellor plaintify consulted together tor 4 moment, when Mr, ‘Tilton was called by them to take the stand, Just as rhe Clerk was about to administer the oath he was taal hee by Mr, Evarts, Mr. Evarts—Hold on! [ object. Mr. Fullerton—We offer Mr. iilton as a witness, MR. EVARTS’ OBJECTIONS, Mr. Evarts—tI object to his being sworn in thia cause as a witness on his own bebull, This is @ question of fact solely and aistinctly as to the adultery o: his wife. That is the fact on which hig right of action rests; on that alone. And bit Wiie’s adultery and tne question of whether Mr. Beecher is @ man of upright morals in this behab or guilty of this crime is wholly immaterial in respect of Mr. Beecher’s relation except as @ re sponsible person against whom tne law gives recourse lor an injury that has arisen irom the wie’s adultery, which has invaded the family, destroyed its unity, aud in the language of th law been the cause by which he lost the fellowship of his wile. Now at the common law there wouid seem to be no question that neither husband nor wile é calied as a Witness, not only upon ap issue A8 grave as Chis, against the character and conduct of the other, so deep is its penetration not only into the unity of married i/¢, but to the more ordinary aspersions of charac ter or iaterierence with the jsamily relation and it 18 only, as [ supposed, from there bein; some impression taat inserting limited statutory interierences wita the integrity o1 tue common law rule in its behalf, there pave come to be questions in which huapand wile cannot teatuy against or for one another—that it cannot be presumed or pretended that Mr. Tilton is a witness @ on ‘this ie But | think I-enall have no diMcuilty in Batistying Your Honor that the legisiation of this State, far irom permitting any such disturbance o) or deviation irom that rule in @ case of thia kind has, on the other hand, completely recoguized it and reiused to disturb it, It seems to be utterly unquestionable that THE WIFE CANNOT DE A WITNESS The wiie of this plaintiff cannot be a ain her life and character; tue ‘wile of this delendant, Mrs, Beecher, cannot be a witness to deiend ber husvand, because the com: 9 the interests of the nd all powerful ag it all evidence that can Tules of ev: et ce ty. not society jor the udmi tion of justice, And there are certain institutions of society lying Qt the base of our civilization, sustaiming tie Whole faoric of its prosperity, its purity, ite dig: nity and ite strengtn, whica must not be under mined or corrupted or defiled under the notion that, IM the AdmiDistravion oO: justice, trath muse be soughtin every quarter and irom every witness, Thas vi F Minds, the great moral @ great have comoine nol justice, to bring out
