&£ THE BROOKLYN EXPOSITINN BERENS EES Opening of the Tenth Week of the Great Scandal Case. TWO AMUSING WITNESSES. What Mrs. Putnam Thought of Dr. Storrs. THE PENALTIES OF GENIUS. A Treatise on the Fan san Its Uses. HANGING PICTURES ON SUNDAY. Lively Sallies by Miss Ann Au-)| gusta Moore. vourt Opened yesterday with a good sky looking in at the windows, as if laughing at the perform- ance, and saying: “Ha! ha! Winding it up yet?” There gat Mrs, Putnam, bolt upright in tne chair, testifying, her ruddy skin and two greyish faxen curls dropping down over her lank shoulders, Behind her large and alert red ears, bonnet strings tied down a velvet two storied hat with a dlue ribbon bow in front, This hat rocked to and iro ag the good lady testified. The essence of was exhaled in those precious sentences, desire to be a perfect witness and go down to his- tory in the company of the exalted people on trial | was modestly yet bravely attested by the careiul manner in which Mrs. Putnam came up to her per- formance. Yet she was aull, by the extreme ful- ness of her reticule. Having turned it ail out, it was found to contain a great qnantity of gimp, bits of ribbon, pieces of wrapping cotton and old ace, and notuing in tne shape of a needie or pin to stick anybody. Mrs. Putnam and some others appear to comprehend the scandal precisely as the piaintit’s wite views it. | Like Mrs, Tilton, they regard Tilton, the plaintif, as an unequal gifted man with an an- | gelic wile, who could bave mage him periectiy Dappy i be had not got into @ tantrum about her eestatic relation to her pastor, Mrs. Tilton wanted appreciation, and these ladies, out of the nenevolence of their hearts, gave her the tullmeed ofit, They all belong to the ultra spiritual, ultra Jeminine class, and all bave a abit of exchanging confidences and views about ‘heir respective hus- bands and all ocher men whatsoever, Theodore Tilton as a public man was a delectable pasture for them all, and they studied him with wenuine Connecticut curiosity, and then fell in love with nis wife, whom they preseatiy got to Believe the superior divinity of the house. Mrs. Purnam moved frum Brooklyn to the region of Marietta, Onio, that Plymouth of the West which was settied by Ru‘us Putcam just after the Revolutionary War, and named iu honor of Queen Marie Antoinette, Mrs. Putnam haa been a widow, and when she married Mr. Putnam, less than ten years ago, she allied herself with that sturdy family of Putoams, who nag been the ploneers on tbe Ono River and marched up from tne landing vo build their stockade singing hymns and im- mediately orgauizing a town government. From that distant point Mrs. Putuam continued ber correspondence with Mrs. Tilton and hes Brook- ly coterie. She had never visiied Mr. Beecher or bis ‘amily except jormaily, but knew all ®bout his Modes and novilities jrom Mrs, Tilrou. He was the hallowed theme of mapy of their le\ters, and one of the documents produced yestefday was written from the Marietta region to Mrs. Tilton in Brooklyn and said:—“Write to me often and tully and be sure that I will burn au your letters,” or a | promise to (hat effect, Alter Tilton and his wie nad the stormy scenes of the coniession, the retraction, &c., Mrs, Tilton wisited Mrs, Putaam and jaid her head upouw the Shoulder of her oid iriend. From that house Mrs, Milton addressed to her busvand a celebrated let- ler, of which she sent a duplicate 'o Mrs. Morse, her mother, asking Mrs. Morse to read the letter, so that she could anticipate the original and ten mark her husband’s mauner when he should re- ceive it, Extracts from this letter were pub- lisbed in Tilton’s long tement. The whole jetter was put in Ms, Putnam's hand yesterday by Judge Fullerton, and she-was calied upon to identity it, if this letter can be got io while Mrs, Potnam remains in the city, the wit. ness will be calied upon to explain her under- standing of the extraordinary admivsions ip that letter. A note m the course of our report will sale what these admisstons are, Judge Fulierton’s cross-examination was acute, @s usual, yesterday, and there was a general fight @mong the lawyers. Beach called Shearman @ sMuggler, aud wes reproved for it oy tue Judge; bat immediately alterwara Morris cailed Evarts @ smuggler in of evidence. There was bad temper on both sides, but this only made the performance the more inieresting. Mrs. Putnani's testimony was of that character which admitted a great many side ligots and ex- tends the range of this case, so that persons hitherto aloof trom tt are veing antagonized ai the time. Rev. Drs. Storrs ana Buddiugton were brought in through Mrs. Patnam’s correspond- ence. When Mrs. Putnam le/t the stand a Miss Moore went on, a lady of uncerrain age, with a flery temperament, who had resolved to charge the plaintiff's lawyers and scatter thelr feathers, Her testimony was wild, loquacious, haphazerd and her | Connecticut | The | Frank Mason, of Cleveland, were in court yester+ day, The room was cleared of all standing persons, | and was therefore a comparatively orderiy and agreeable apartment. InevVery window revoiving ventilators had been inserted, waich kept up a noise like machinery, under the high wind that raged during a part of the morning. Mr. Jelfrey, the sick juror, was ailing again yes- terday alternoon, THE EVIDENCE. As Soon a the jury had answered the call Mrs. Putuam was recalled and the direct examination resumed by Mr, Sbearman, | 1 was a member of Dr. Storrs’ chureh untill married; | was never a member of Piymouth chureh; that ts to say a regular attendant; aiter 186 1 tived im South Brooklyn and attended the , Rev, Mr. Carpenter's chare | litde acquaintance with Mr. Beecher except as | the worid snew him as a public man; 1 have had | very litte personal acquatutance with’ him; [ | have seen Mr. Beecher at Mr. Tilton’s bouse two or three times; the tirst time I remember Mr. | Beecher came in very informally; Mr. Tilton | called his wile, who, ! think, was below, and said | Mr. Beecher was here; Mr, Beecher went to tue | family sitting room, where the children were, anit Mr. and Mrs. Tilton asked me ‘o go up; Mr. Beecner | Was so absorved in the children that he did | | bot pay much attention to me; ne played with | the children, and after getting through with them | wentaway He afterward called lor Mrs. Tilton; | they were going to Visit some sick person; I think | | it was Mrs. Ovineton; lam not quite sure; he did | not seem to be coming to see the children; those | | visits were afier Mr. Tilton had moved into his | present nouse; the first visit I made to Mr, Tu. | | ton’s house was in the fall of 1867; I mean after | my marriage; ‘i | THERE WA3 NOTHING PECULIAR in the manner between Mr. Beecher and Mrs, Til- ton that attracted my attention; the visits were alwaysin the daytiine, generally Monday mormog; have seen photograplis of Mr. Beecher in Mr. Tilton’s house; Mr. Tilton gave me a photograph of Mr. Beecher once which he _ selected | irom a large coliecttion of photograpua be possessed; I have seen a good many books In the library tiat came trom Mr. Beecher; Mr. !1i- ton gave me a book of his own With his autograph initand also said he would get me one of Mr. Beeclier’s with his autograph; | read tne note | that Mrs, Tiiton sent to ver husband through me; lread ital her request; the substance of its con- | tents was that sne could not endure his mood aud | she Was not coming down until he changed; ne | toid me he couid not help bis moods, they were irresistivie. | The Judge—We had that the other day. THE JUDGE’S MEMORY. | At @ quarter-past eleven Mr. Shearman at- tempted to have the witness Putnam relate anew, to impress the jury more fully, what Mr. Tilton’s conduct was up in the country som where. The Chief Justice opened nis lips and re. | peated word for word all that the witness had | already said on the subject, and pronounced tt | | superfuons to go over the matter, Mr. Shearman looked puzzled. He said it was only to patch up the hiatus, to illumine the air, &e, The Judge ruled him out, | Mrs, Putnam ranon like a water wheel. She | revesied all the shades of meaning and describea | character beautifully, She recollected events an- cient, modern and medieval. Sitting volt up- right, with her fan in her hand, which she turned upside down and right side under and horizon | tally, according to the necessities of the case, | Unis venerable lady composed her sentences glib! | aud recited them with a kind of galloping aignit AS an instance—speaking of Bessie Torner:— | “Her perceptions of musical harmony were won- | derfal; they were almost intuition: These sen- | tences were given with a kind cf indented infle | tion, one word going inward ara the other climb- ‘tng the scale, and there seemed to bean inca- | pacity to stop the sentences until Shearman regnu- | lated them by bis questions, and tne fan was ap- | | plied like a brake. | | | | In short, this good lady exemplified all the | graces of a Brooklyn existence—a long memory, a keen ear and great capacity to generalize her im- | pressions. She seemed to experience profound gloom for an instant when she could not recollect | the whole of something. However, this did not oltea happen. Witness continued—Once 1 remember he sald | \bat his moods were beyond bis control and that he knew he made his wife miserabie ana unhappy when they were upon him, Dut he could not resist them; he supposed they were moods oj genius; he said every man of genius—Burns. Byron, Cole- ridge and other poets—suffercd in that way; it | Was one of the penalties genius had to pay: some- | times when coming home his heart was warm with homesickness, and when he got home a heavy pail woula come over him; he said wnen he was at @ quiet place he could not resist that mood; tuat he had just come irom Washington, where be bad an audience; he said he had to speak to 1,600 Sabbata school = children that evening: I saw some of the Jeading men at Soutbport: It was near we Fourth of July; we got up @ Fourth of July meeting in the charen, and Mr. Tilton made the oratio’ he go’ out of his mood then; he once told me, when in Washington, that he would rather be the editor of the New York /ndependent than have any | other position that could be offered bim ; he told me that When in Washington he received marked at- tention: thay great men showed attention to bim: | 1 told Buzabetn that I cidn’t suppose he vaiued his position in the Independent so much as that; she said:—"Oh yes, he did; tnat it would br. his heart to lose bis position in the Independent; We were all there together at the time; I talked with Mr. Tilton about Bessie Turner: we had several conversations on the subject; he asked | my advice at one time about sending her to | school at Nyack, he said she was a girl of rare qualtties and ii she only nad a proper educa would muke @ lady; he thought Elizabeth kept Be-sie tied up with the children; he said her per ceptions of musical harmony were wonderful; ie sadic -le Was very sensitive aud out of her sphere, and Was unnappy because she was out o! her sphere anc not educated where she wanted to be; bessie Turner Was always treated as one ol the family, Came to the tabie and was greeted with a kiss when he returned irom an absence; he trewted her like one o! his chilaren; I recollect nis aittung | under an elm tree one day reading to her trom a | book of poems; be freqaentiy walked witb her | | beneath the shade trees and conver-ea with her | and seemed interested In her, treating ner as he | Would @ dauguter o/ the same age; be aiways | treated her in 4 proper and kindly way. | THE THEATRE IN THE COURT ROOM. At haif-past eleven Mr. Snearman again in- | trenched upon the topic he had previously advertea | to, of what Tilton’s opinions about the drama | were. | | It is weli understood that this bears especial | reference to the joreman of the jury, Uarpenter, who testified that he bad changed his opinion of this case since Mr, Beecher preached @ certain | sermon on theatres, Mrs. Patnam was able to recollect very perfectly | that Mr, Tilton sald the stage was a greater en- | gine of good than the pulpit, &c. Mr. Carpenter listened to ali this very impassivet if the theatre had ceased to be the great moral issue of hia life, Witness—Be/ore the year 13661 talked with Mr. Tilton about bis attendance at churcn; he vaia he Was not a cburch-goer, very seldom went; when he went he went more to hear good masic than made a good deal ofiun. She swore that Tilton anything else; ne said he preferred the piatiorm had no sincerity in his religious profession, and tothe pulpit and the drama to what he valied had on one occasion brought to the hoase a wild | preaching tne gospel; te had outgrown Mr. i ant Mr. f the great man by the name of Stephen Pearl Andrews, moral preacher of the day, but people got tired of wita whom he and Deacon Freeland talked a ey i had Aerie for years; i caanot give | bl ins Paueetenis ag-ex- | YOU Mr. Tiiton’s language, but the subs of it; ES NED, FOetIey cross-eX- he said Mr. Beecher’s geuius Was very much over= | Smination of this wi'ness was malotained rated; that Mr. Beecher’s power over people wag to spite of difficulties, and she paved the way for the imtroduction of evidence which Tilton wishes to adduce, to the effect that the first lecture he ever heard on the marriage relation was from Btephen Peari Andrews, in the pariora of the Plymouth pistor. As a sample of the feuds among the lawyers ye-terday may be mentioned the ol- lowing, which came up on an intimation that Mr. Shearman was a pettifogger:— “LT bardiy think Mr. Svearman would do a thing of that kind,” said ‘he Judge. “| think otherwise,” thondered there was 2 sensation in court, dndge Reynolds, who Was on the bench yester- bas availed himself of the act of the Legisia- Sure auyporizing the two terms of the City Court, secommodate ihe Beecher case, to try iso an Important lide! suit against the Brooklyn Eagle, Beacn, and Yesterday Bessie Turner was for the first tume | tm court.

Mr. Shearman made this demand with bis peculiar smile, In aminute or two he demanded a par- ucular letter, written from Marietta to Mrs. Til- ton, and this led toa great wrangle, wherein the Judge and Mr. Evarts exercisea themsel The Judge bit Evarts of, Evarts straightened up, re- leased his famous forefinger and undertook to There was @ general quarrel tor a few minutes, and the Judge ruled the thing out. Witness—Mrs, Tilton allowed me to read a por- tion of the correspondence between herself and husband when she was at Mariew 1 remember one of which she made @ copy; we compared it and the original togetner. Q. Do youremember Mrs, Tilton’s appearance mreh that ovember, 186 in } | after sending that letrer? Mr. Beacn—Onjected to. The Judge—Objection sustained, Witness—I remember the arrival of the answer; Mrs. Tilton invited me to go up stairs and read It with her; I went up stairs about naif an bour afterward ; I found Mrs, Tilton there, Mr. Shearman—In what condition ? Mr. Beach—Uvjected to. SMUGGLING IN TESTIMONY. A first class piece of comedy occurred just after noon, when the witness sent out @ Myer in re- sponse to @ decoy from Shearman. She shot in upon yea or nay @ reply which produced from Beach the rebuke to Shearman that he was trying to ‘smuggle in evidence.” Here Mr. Shearman’s countenance became con- | | Vulsed, and he said that this he could not stand. It deserved a rebuke from the voice of authority. The Judge rebuked Mr. Beacn, Mr. Beach bowed to the voice of authority, but insisted that this evidence was smuggled in, He tnen arose, and, calling Mrs. Parnam “this lady,” said that she had violated the propriety of the witness box. The witness—a modest, over-anxious woman— seemed pained at this. Witness—I read the letter; I do not know whether it was aiterward destroyed. Mr. Shearman now demanded the contents of the letter, and the Judge ruled against him. Mr, Shearman then started to read what he pro- posed to prov? and started another legal row, whicn resulted to the Judge ruling him out. Mr, Shearman stuck tu nis endeavor to prove all manner of things and mooas by Mrs. Putnam. The Judge ruled it out as immaterial repeatedly. Mr. Evarts endeavored to help Mr. Shearman, but the Judge showed an impatience wita the general triviality of the testimony and characterization. Witness—i have xnown Mrs. Morse for a long time—since 1855; Mrs, Morse was in the habit ot talking about her family affaira; Mra, Tilton waa in poor heaitn when at Marietta, Mr. Shearman—How old thas manifest itself. Mr. Beach—Objected to. ‘rhe Judge—Ruled out as immatertal. MRS, PUTNAM CROSS-EXAMINED. It appeared as Fullerton arose, bis face cool and not more than respectful, that Theodore Tilton had kissed Mrs, Putnam. This carried conviction tothe court room that he might also have had Susan B, Anthonys on his knee. When the amor- ous fact came out Theodore blashed, and Roger A. | Pryor poked him in theribs. The eyes of the Court were turned upon the uxorlous you'h. lo the mina’s eye he could be seen candiing all the middle-aged and antique ladies of the pertod. Even Bessie Turner, whose tes*imony bejore the church was tothe effect that he occasionally tn- cluded the young in his favors, looked at.Tilton and laugbed with a young woman’s delight. In reply to Mr. Falierton the witness an- swered firss became intimately acquainted Wich Mrs. Tiitou in 1555 or 66; 1 was residing in Brooklyn; 1 have been acquainted witn her ever since; L left Brooklyn in 1367, when I married Mr. Putuam; { went then to Marietta, Oto; I nave passed considerable time in Brooklyn since then; Lnave stopped in Mrs, lilton’s house; I passed a week at ber house in Livingston street; Ido not recvilect in What year; Mrs. Tilton was married 10 1855; I have seen Mr, fulton irequently salute his friends with @ kiss; [do not <now how frequently ; Ido not remember ever seeing bim kiss gentie- men.

FULLBRION ON KTIQUETTE, Aletter which Mrs, Putpam wrote in regard to Rev. Mr. Storra, saylag tha: she was really angry with him for stirring up the scandai by @ Vongre- gational connec, was held by the plato- us lawyers and used with severe effect to slow the witness’ bias and indifferent memory on things not to Mr, Beecher’s interest. Mr, Evarts took this ietterand detained it. Judge Fuilerton took tire at his evasive, light way of holding th Jetter at leisure and pronounced it a breach of eti- | quette, There was bad feeling ali the morning. Ina tew minutes Judge Morris also said in a loud voice and with decided jeeling that Evarts was ‘“smaggling im evidence” in an unproiessional spirit. MAS. TILTON'S LETTER, A letter of Mrs. Tiiton to ler husband was bere procuced and pat in witness’ hand. Mr. Fuliertou—To the ber you ever see that letter before? a; That be the letier; parts of it | recognize aod parts of it | think were not there, Q. But you saw the letter? levter, 1 fnink, in Mra.

The above scene when Fullerton prodacea the celebrated letcer from Mra, Tilton to her husband, saying:—"l Dave takon my sin to my Saviour and | laid is at His jeet and am forgiven there,” Waa very striking. Thia letter is @ document of @ highly important nature. Init Mra, Tilton oses the langnay “There ia my poor old father, Li he knew the sorrow Gis dauguter had brought on bim it would shorten the poor old man’s lifo,"" This doomiul letter has not Bitherto been ased, because Of the impossibilgy of connecting Mr. Beecher with i, When Mrs, Putnam saw is axe | domestic in the Tiltom ouselol y if | he would ve most affectionate, and { tarned pate and looked deeply grieved. was mcumbent on her either to identity j it or say under oath she had never seen it, This she was unable to do, Alter @ bitter struggie Mr. Fullerton made her gamit it to be @ letter she had seen, The question then arose in the minds of the auditors whether, if Mrs, Putnam had seea this letter before it was sent, she did not also Know to what offence the above and other language re erred? She was equaily paiue:i at the production of her letter in which she expressed anger at ner old pastor, Dr. Storrs, for interfering with ‘Buding- ton against Mr. Beecher. The Judge exclaimed at tas, “4 did not know that Messrs. Storrs and Bud- ington hed raised @ council to injure Mr. Begcher.” ‘The letter was addressed by Mra. Putnam to Mrs, Tilton trom Harmon, Ono, Mr. Fullerton, under the Judge's rultng, read the letter, which was as follows :— MBS, PUTNAM’S LETTER. ate es 1ARMON, A , 1874.

How is your poor little heart nowadays? I love you and think of you much, Apnit 7, 187) The Court then adjourned until ten minutes Past two o'clock. AT THE RECESS. Mr, Beecher went home in a two-horse carriage, and returned with a parcel of children and Mrs. Beecher just at the merry hour of ‘“schovul out,’’ and hundreds of young damsels were fillag home 1M the sunshine through the snow. The brooklyn school children and maidens are more robust and comely than those of New York, but legs stylish. Theodore Tilton was in very good spirits, and gave a strong grip of his palm to those who ud- dressed him. He went off to Mr. Moulton’s with Mr, Beach and Mr. Fullerton, both of whom were in ruffled spirits from the occurrences of the morn- ing. Mr. Fullerton was particularly mad, In short, nobody was in very good spirits, Mr. Shearman and Mr. Hill were both white irom sickness and Mr. Pryor looked pale. The latter dined with Judge Morris. Mr. Jeffrey, the sick juror, looked to be in good spirits, but not in periect health. Mr. Fallerton dismissed Mrs, Putnam just after recess, and except a letter of a tender and gush- ing sort from Mrs, Tilton to her, nothing else was extracted (rom this witness, who left the stand on her busband’s arm, greatly relieved and not wholly satisfied with hersell. She had been more available to the plaintif! than the defence, and this appeared to give her pain. Ata quarter past two o’clock the cross exam- ination of Mra. Putnam was resumed by Mr, Ful. lerton, who handed ber a letter, and asked ber if it was in her handwriting, Sbe sald it was. Alter aconsultation between counsel for plain- tit, Mr. Fullerton satd that was all tney had to ask the witness. Mr, Shearman asked for the letter, as he pro- posed to read the whole o/ it. Tnen turnivg to the witness ana indicating @ part of the letter, asked her to read trom that point. She did so as | tollows:— 1 love you and think of you much.

Finally Mr, Beach broke through his habitual decorum, and roared :— “Madame, will you stop when you are told to?’” The extreme willingness of Mrs. Putnam and Miss Moore to testify suggested Macbeth’s vault ing ambition that overleaped itself and fell on the other side, The performance on Miss Moore's part invdéived pantomimic acts, winking and grimacing. She liked her seat and speedily grew very familiar with the situation. While she was testifying the Judge stopned be saying:—“Now & moment, madame,” and Bess ‘Turner, with her long, lean face and half opening eyes, peeped up and bit her rather ripe lips, Witness—They used to be talking about circles and spheres; ® Woman whg, was with Sepbea Pearl Andrews put her hanjl over Mr. Tilton’s head and face, and then, looking at him, sald “Whata lovely sphere, or utmospnere, he has,” (Great luughier.)

CROSS-EXAMINATION OF MOORE. When Tracy dismissed the witness and Ful- lerton took her up she attempted a rather bounce ing and brusque manner, riding down the lawyer jor the plaintif. Fullerton, cool and pertinacious as a horse tamer, walked toward her after @ while, eye-giass in hand, and gave the Court @ Superb scene from ‘Katharine and Petruchio.” Again and again the galloping, rattling, high, tempered woman leaned iorward and talked almost in the tone of a virago. He soon demon- strated the exuberance and unreliability of the witness, and made the court room roar by asking her if she did not refuse to accompany Tilton to lectures “because she did not want to be a curse to bim 7? The general tone of the witness may be inferred by her saying that on one evening, ‘she @’most got her biler upset.” This witness bad a fashion of striking herself im the breast with her fist and fan, and charging Fullerton venemently. He kept her just mad enough to display herself, and laughed with her, so as to blind ner to the fact. The witness mistouk impudence for courage, and said once:. t me tell you how it was, man!?? Finally, as to Stephen Pearl Andrews, Fullerton brought out the points that Andrews, tne pantarchist, had lectured at Henry Ward Beecher’s residence, anda tnat nis female companion at Tilton’s was none other than Mrs? Andrews, The cross-examination of the witness was as follows: Mrs. Tilton cald to me, “{ wish you were his wile? lrepiied, “Why do you want to put such a curse on me?’ I was in earnest in saying that; Idid not bear him retuse to order coal; kuow that he did not order®coal, becausé when he came home lits wife asked him 1! he hud ordered tne coal, and he said something about going to the wrong place; he did not say that he went to the wrong Place; I don’t remember what he said; I can’t give you chapter and verse ol the instances where be retused to do things ne wae asked tu do; she would ask him to go to places of amusement and he wouid not go; on one occasion, when he would not go, I accompanied ner, THEODORE’S NEGLECT AT A LECTURE, Q.
