4 THD TULNUN-BEBLHER TRL Mr. Tilton Explains His Views of | Divoree and the Commune. A FAINTING JURYMAN. The Pictures in Mrs. Tilton’s Closet and the Flowers at Her. Bedside. AN ARGUMENTATIVE DAY More of Mrs. Tilton’s Love-Letters Offered in Evidence. “THE “LETTER GIRL" AT WINSTED. Mr. Tilton’s Surprise at the Wet Nurse’s Testimony. Mrs. Tilton came into court early with her two ‘Malienabie Dromios, Mrs. Field and Mrs. Putnam. irs, Putnam wears the smile of the just made | perfect, and her pleasant face i wholly trreilevans | to the tragedy of the matter in hand, She hears Toeodore tormulate her sex and his species into & | definition with an expression of such delight as | Mr. Peggotty might have shown at hearing @ story from Mr. Steerforth. Beaming interest, unt- | versal appreciation and «carnival kind of coun- | tenance this good old lady wears under her gray — wheaf of hair. It appears as if she might have come along merely to be entertained and with no | prepossession or prejudice in the world. Par ocherwise is the more youthful and robust Mrs, Field, the Serjent de Ville of the temale deputies. Exceedingly quiet, her lips wear the repose of Vere de Vere. A cold, marbie | face, witoout warmth of color, but round and comely in outline, a pair of eyes are set iu it like brilhants, small aug intelligent but chilly in their | light, and ber Quaker colors are ip harmony witn | tmis cold countenance. The dregs ts @ dull biuish- fray, the hat black, the tippet of the fur of some animal. I liste! luke one anxious but | ansympathe' often repellant and incredulous, but never restiess or interrupting, the very model of deportment in the sex. She looks as if she might govern countries or siton the bench. Her profile tg strong, brainy, decisive—the ideal stepmother in the expression of that face—one who sir- renders her daughter from @ sense of duty and never establishes More than respectful relations vith @ son-in-law. j Wo sketch of this trial will be complete to alter | times without preserving the portrait of this Steady, orderly, large woman. She weighs, prob- ably, 200 pounds, and is irom thirty-five to forty years ofage, while Mrs. Tilton, gayer and more plowing im the colors of ner dress, compiexion and | byes, nestles under her like a ‘felucca under @ frigate. That iittle woman’s sash 1s of bright red; ber mantle is adorned with beads, and her bat, of 8 jaunty sbape, flourishes a featner so large rela- lvely to her size that it looks cavalierly. She also is quiets and attentive, with. | pus being frigid. She cannot, even if | she Wouid, be distraught, for very frequently | Mr, Beecher’s lawyers—Htil, or Shearman, or | Tracy—slip notes to her and walk over to her seat apd stoop to her face to whisper. Her knowledge | of the tntertor of the case is so complete that her | presence in the court bas more significance than any mere show of personal denial. There is Til- tom to prompt his counsel irom tne interior of th household. That household is known, in. its duality, to only one other person—Tilton’s wile. | All that occurred outside of 1t may be known to cotnsel through Mr. Beecher, but in such @ case | as the sudden apparition of Catherine Carey, the servant, Mr. Beecher has no data to go upon, and then the househoid memory of this little lady is at once applied. She no longer exchanges pubilc speech with Mr. Beecner intne court room. Her little coterie 1s separated from nim by a lawyers’ tabie covered with tin boxes of documents, and there she sits ensconced, watching Tiiton as ne testifies, but looking toward rather than at pim. Her eyes, winking rapidly, are directed about at hisieet, She wears a look of wnat somebody | called “vigilant demurrer,” tliat is, aenial on gen- | eral principles with a keen outlook for denial in | | | specials. On the whole it is & winning | face, which grows upon spectators; its | pain, modesty, fiush and intelligence giving !ta separate character trom that of the surrounding combatants and their seconds. As contrasted with her husband, his height, stride, legs and profile at firat examination appear to | be the noole creature’s, but he is nearly all of one | lune. His hair is a sort of powdered flaxen, with- out polish; niseyes are ofa greenish gray, with Fesolation but no twinkle in them. In passion or | earnestness, they vitrily, but their ordinary nue i@ nearly that of a couple of deadlights in 8 North | River trap pavement. Tilton’s exterior hes im- mensely altered in the past year. The alteration has been most rapid in the past three months. No wonder, when nis occupation, as he has test- ifled, has been for nearly a whoie year trying to live iu the face of the society around him. His life bas run into intelligence, like that of Ethan Brand, who came back to his charcoal pit witn the secret of the unpardonable sin, and bad noth- ing else vo do but to perish in the fire. Mrs. Tilton has not lost color, blood or flesh in this long triai of temperaments ana endurance. She has not been on the rack of the witness stand like Tilton, and has been deferentially treated by everybody. Hence sne is generally good-natured. Mrs, Tiiton’s interest in the cross-examina:ion was directly apparent yesterday as questions Were asked by Evarts on the redirect emanating from the interior of the Tilton nousenold. Among them was the necessity of Mrs. Tillon keeping boarders and the consequent turowing of pictures into the closet where the portraits of Beecher were founda. ‘Tne Judge yesterday said toat he should not | consider Mrs, Tiltoa an interested partyin this | cause, It sls0 appeared, from the production of a check | for $700, signed by Heory C., Bowen, and bya subsequent question as to Bowen’s relations to Tilton, that the celebrated pubiisher had re- sponded to the defence and mignt be giving aid to thas side, Shearman reappeared yesterday as s suggestor and conferrer with Evarts, He broke out but once for a minute, and always gives great amuse- went and joy woen he rises, The morning bours were consumed yi rday ip the gnintermitten: effort of counse) on ooth sides to serve their cause with the direct cross-exami- pation. Mr. Evarts, backed with sutnoriti te law by Mr. Abbott, strenuously resisted every endeavor to put in evidence which could qualify Tiiton’s admissions in tne “True Story” before the chureh committee, to Be: Turner and to others, The other side, Fullerton, backed up by Beach, with Pryor ‘or documentary authority, endeavered to make Tilton explain away Mr, Rvarte’ interpretation of the testimony, so that, by no theory yet binted at, could an argument be made to offset the airect testimony. Thi vor comprehended the introduction of more letters una even tue prejudicing of future testimony in advance, ‘The Gght was generally in good manners, out li the profesmonal pertinacity of the trained bea- les of tue jaw was requisite to maintain ii. If Anybody has supposed that the plaintif’s counsel have weakened in any respect he bad only to fol- low yesterday forenoon the patient, determined, unrelaxing work of men of the advanced years of | Beach, Mr. Evarts also clung to his client, \ocR | by inch, ready to be on bis feetat any moment, | ge Dis ear streiched, bis eyegines nervous and Bis | | Waat he bas annotated. | stance of the testimony as printed in this book was (| gon’t remember the exact dat thin, hatchet tace let out at all its tmtellectual length, @ very preity sketch of a doctor in the law. The two attorneys, strictly speaking, im this cause, are Shearman tor Beecher, and Morris for Tilton, ‘These two have the whole general Mabagement; they retain the other counsel! and keep the documentary roils. The two students in the law of the cuse are Abbott and Pryor. But Pryor i# algo required, by the small number of counsel On the plaintiff's side, to (ulfl a part of the duty of associate attorney, and at times, also, of arguering on the authorities. These two men, Abbott and Pryor, as library lawyers, are very notable under the surface of the case. The public does not see them. They speak none of the sparkling repartees, nor show the glibness of the accomplished pleader, but what they produce is vital between the Judge and the evidence, They make the mine and sap through | which to admit or tocountermine evidence, Mr, Pryor i & general reader, whose prodigious memory and enlorced leisure have for many years been turned upon the subject of the law.

A vit of smile began and ended in Mr. Beecher’s face and lasted longer in bis wife's, Tilton’s, testimony to Evarts was very quaint yesterday afternoon, and three or jour times he brought in @ whack against Mr. Beecner, which the latter, sortunately, was not present to hear.

The ensuing witnesses, it is thought, will be examined briefly, and the plaintin’s case will be put through repidly.
