4 — THE BROOKLYN SCANDAL Beginning of the Eleventh Week in the Great Trial. —_——e. NEW MORE WITNESSES. Extraordinary Range of the Examinations. RAMIFICATIONS OF THE SECRET. How to Start a Great Daily Newspaper. WAS IT BLACKMAILP The Judge called upon Mr. Shearman yesterday Morning to proceed with his witnesses without waiting for Mr. Evarts. Counsel for the defence then held @ consultation and calied Jonna W, Har- mon. A large, gladiatorial man took the chair, said peremptorily that be would aM rm and not swear, and, stroking his flerce moustache, announced that ne had been 8 politician and supervisor, Mr, Harman had been relerred to on several occasions a8 @ Custodian of the “true story,” that tantastic jorm of embodying Tilton’s alleged grievances which has contused his case, given the defenee @ Weapon, and shown the absurdity of overdoing auything. Harman, in the way of political nobnobbing, had got to be very thick with Tilton during the past three years. The former was a shrewd, common- piace gentleman, the foul to Tilton’s ideality and scholarship. He made a good worldly witness, aud woridly sense 1s always a novelty and a relief dp that court room, Mr. Hill eXamined with bis usual beaming face, and Mr. Shearman, behind his lorufication of papers, made suggestions, rising up with his head directed toward the pit of Hili’s stomach and talk, mg at that depch mysteriously. John Harman, the witness, is a leading repub- ican politician of Brookiyn, the same who visited yhe Almshouse of that city more than one year ago and took samples of tne food furnished the in- mates, on the analyzation of which specimens tome of the officers were convicted of muliea- tance, The other witnesses were Jackson S, Schultz, a ir. Judson and a Mr. Baxter, the latter two mer- chants, Whose testimony was unimportant. Mr. each moved to strike out all that Judson said as iwimportant, and the Judge pronoanced his cou- tempt lor that Kind of testimony. Mr. Evarts re- plied testily, but the Judge stuck to it that the evidence was 01 ‘no more relevaucy than a lamp- post In the street.” Baxter, the agent for the Cardiff line of steamers, swore only to Moulton having reported to him that Mr. Beecher was a perfectly pure man. Jackson 8S. Schultz gave very important testi- mony in favor of the delence, to the effect that Prank Carpenter had endeavored to get himseif, with William 8. Orton aud Henry Clews, interested (2 @ great daily paper, of which Beecher was to be tditor and Tilton foreign editor; Carpenter to be pubiisne! Ascertaiming that this paper was to de started as necessary to the suppression of cer- tain grave documents affecting Mr. Beecher’s moral character, Schultz pronounced the thing as favoring of blackmail. For this Tilton touk Schaltz to task and Schultz apologized. Tilton baa aiso been @ hot detender of Woodhull and Claflin, und had resented Schaliz’s denuncia tion of the life of the jormer, which was publisned im the Golden age, of which Scnuitz had been a patron to the extent of $ ,500. Mr. Harmon’s testimony was also quite javora- able to Mr. Beecher and Mr. Beach accomplished nothing by cross-examination. Royer A. Pryor cross-examined Mr, Baxter and extracted some sligbt testimony favoraoie to Mr. Beecher’s praise of Frank Moulton and trepidation in the presence ef Tilton. The day was closed by reading the unimportant deposition of @ Mr. Drake, who bad gone to Barope. There were no women in court in the aiternoon; Mr. Beecher and wife were also absent. | THR EVIDENCE. The Coart assembled at the usual four of eleven clock, Mr. John W. Harmon, of brook!yn, sworn, testified that he was a dry goods dealer and ex- Supervisor of Kings county; he was acquainted with Theodore Tilton and bad conversations with him on various occasions; on one of these occasions be charged Henry Ward Beecher with being a bad man; he said Mr. Beecher ought not to preach; he said he was determined to get bis Money; he said that Mr. Beecher bad made dishonorable proposals to bis wile; he went to Frank Moulton and laid the matter before Prank; he met Mr. Beecher at Mr. Moulion’s house; the (bree of them were ina room together; ‘iilton locked the gooraud put the key in his pocket; 1 understood irom Mr, Lilton toat Mrs, Tiitun ex- acted a promise from him that be would offer no personal violence to ner; 1 was AN ADMIBER ot Mr, Beecher, without being acquainted with uit; 1 was for years on terms of personal intimacy With Theodore Tilton; i remember the time the Wooduall scandal was puviisbed; I hat ao inter- view with Mr. Tiltum soortily aiterward, and speak- ing to im about the scandal ue said he heard of it, Dut had only just returned to the city; 1 suid to dim, ‘tor God’s sake, jor the sake of your Jamiiy, contradict tuis monstrous scandal ;” ne answered. * But suppose I cannot contradic: it.” THE FIRST BOUT. Mr. Hil, who has a penchant for leading ques jonas, wanted to ask Harman ii Tilton had dis- imetly accused his wile uf adultery, or rather to Jay be bad not. Mr. Beach interrupted, and Mr. Tracy, who ‘ooks weary and old, came to Hill’s relie. By their combined pertinacity 1t was plain that the imvention of the aefence is resolute to stick lt ous that Tilton never did accuse his wife of adultery Gotll a late period, and that it was an aiter thougat. Evarts, Porter, Abbott, Tracy, Shearman and Hil Were all watching intently. Tilton himseir looked old and mealy-jaced, aa he sat between Pryor and Morris. Beach sat of at the side, gravely Watching. All jelt the vacaum created by Pulierton’s absence. Witness—Mr. Tilton did not charge his wife with apy criminal offence in my conversation wita Rig; he ve me a paper at my request, and | said to tim 1 wanted to show that paper to Dwight Joonson; | may bave shown the paper to others, out cannot now remember; [| think | hud it tu My possession when Mr. McKelway called at the nouse; I remember Laving read the paper cailed TRUE svoRY” in 1872; Tilton came in with a large portfolio under lis arm and suid that be bad something that ke Would like to read tu me; | suggested, as (oad @ gumber oi imenas in my house, that we bad better go somewhere else, and We Wen: in\o ‘be Douse of & Iriend, Bear by; ibis iriend was fpown (o Mr. Tilton, but bot ab intimate friend as they bad only introduced a tew days tore, When coming out v1 cuurch.

Witness—I kuow Mr. McKeiway; I remem ti Bim shortly alter (he pubscation o: the ooubuil scandal; Le Came to secure Material for uoleation in the sage; | think | rewembor coming to the house several times, 4 BIG PRICE. Mr, Beach, a@ & cross-exXaminer, grows more mild and conciliatory every day. He took up Barman as tw ois connection with the publication of the “trae story,” ana here we had a: once 4 series of very peculiar revelations, showing that Harman himeei{ had offered to pay Tilton $6,000 lor the “true story,” with ole (Tilton’s) aliaavit toi, it was also in evidence that Harman said be could make $60,000 out of the documents and facts in the case if Tilton would commit them ex- shesieely to him. timony NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, | placed so high a value on these allegations, facts | | be interested, or illusions, as they might very plain, He himself said that T:lton was an enigma to him, and he offered the money to see What his auswer would be, There was & good deal of confusion, undertalk and laughter in the courtroom at this time, and this woolesale Way of speculating tn secrets astonished people at large. Meantime it also came out that a uewspa- per reporter had strewdly manipulated the “true story’? out of Beecher’s hands, and had it dic- tated to @ phonographer. Al the energies of na- ture and art appeared to have worked to drag out tue proportjons of this scandal and expose !t im every part. It was said that the witness Harman had contradicyed the witness McKelway, who got this ‘true story.” F CHOSS-EXAMINATION, To Mr. Beach—I caunot remember the date of the interview at Bangs’ restaurant: | think if was in April, 1872—some time in the spring; the first paper that he showed me was the personal state- ment embodying Bowen's letter; be showed me the “true story” later at my house; 1 thing that interview was on te Saturday before Coristmas; i think it was tue 18th day of the month; I think it Was in January, 1871, that Tilton showed me a letter from Bowen; 1 do not remember la any con- versation or paper tnat Mr. Tilton gave me he o!- lered why imputation against bis wie; he always spoke of her in high terms; his charge wus against Mr. Beecher; bis animus was all in that direction; he alluded to bis wile, not alone in language exempting ver, but in words of affecucn; my impression 1s that 1 bad toe letter in my pos- Session at the time; I shortly alter received & note irom Mr. Tilton, sayimg that he wanted to have the papers, as he was going to bave those papers suomitied to counsel, Mr. Tracy, and then they Would be able to ascertam whether the ease Was stroug or weak; be appeared to be anxious to get the papers into his hands; isaid, “Mr. Tilton, if that thing you call the “trae story” contains a really true story you should pub- lish it and vindicate your wife and’ let the world know the exact facts in the case, aud if you have a pecuu.ary object in View }ou can make money out of its publication ;” 1 offered nim FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS have been, was not if he would swear to the truth of the case and give me the right to pubiisnit; at these interviews with Mr. [iiton I referrea to the possibility of his making money out or the publication; I said he could sell a milion copies at twenty-five cents & copy ;1 understood trom Mr, Tilton that tie Bowen diticulty wich him was orought about by the charges insinuated by Henry Ward Beecher against ‘Titon’s Character. RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION, Mr. Hill then resumed bis questions and witness stated: 1 understood from Mr, Tilton that the demand op Mr. Beesver to leave his pulpit, was based on the charges of Bowen; the interview [had with ‘Vilton alter the Wooanull scandal was beiore tne oue J had with McKeiway; 1 believe | saw the proof slip, embodsimg the personal statement and Bowen's letter; Ithink lsaw the slp betore the Woodhull scandal; when I got 1t to show Jobnsxon, that was the first ume I had it im my posses. sion; my offer of $5,000 to Mr. Tilton reiated to the “true story’? wholly; betore te got Vhrough reacing it I offered him $2,500; tue next day I increased it to $5,000; it was a sudden matter; it came on me hike an inspiration; never occurred to me_ be- | jore; L gave the paper, the “true story,’ to a Mr. Frank Dinsmore; I first gave it to Mr. McKel- Way and he leit it witn the cashier In the Zagle office jor we; they did not publish jt; I banded it over ro Mr. Dinsmore and I never saw anything | Ol it atterward, WHO'S DINSMORE. Every closet cpenea under vbis scandal lets out @ mutaal friend. Harman, obdjecting to the introduction of a private name, appealed to the Judge if he should tell who got the “true story” irom him, The Judge ordered him to tell, andit then came out that Mr. Dinsmore, @ rich and aristocratic repubiican politician of Brooklyn, now absent im Europe, was the person referred to, Another Brcoklyn pablic man by the name of Dwight sohnson had also been privy to this knowledge with Dinsmore ang Harman. RECROSS-EXAMINATION. ' Mr. Beach then aske1 some few questions about the “true story,’ and Wliness stated :—it would be impossibie (0 Say, by reading over the story a8 pudlisned in the paper you have panded me, whether it was in the same words as it had been read to bim by Tilton; 1 do think the substance is avout the game; 1 recollect something like the statement to the effect “that Beecher asked me to be a wiie to him in al: the senses that the wordim.- plied; Mr. Tilton read irom a@ clean slip or proof | sheet. JACKSON 8S. SCHULT2, the Ajax of the police force, the Custom Hous and an extensive dealer in leather and pranelia, took the witness stand after Mr. Harman had been relieved, at half-past eleven. Mr. Schultz 18 @ poweriul man in dimensions, Weight and stature, looking like the largest ciass of materialistic politicians, At the same time his cleanly shaved iace has something of the look of a presiding elder or muscular Christian. A square head, ratuer low ip tue forehead, with a dark brown skin, took on the appearance of vast strength; aiso irom the large mouth, heavy Jaws and advanced chin, He folded his heavy arms and large hands across tis broad chest and spoke in a deep-toned voice, with great power and intensity, Wnen he sought to recover his memory le bit bis cheeks, He appeared to have patience with Tilton, having assisted bim to start bis paper, but peiug uoabie to defend his course in publisuing the “Lise of Woodhall.” This powerful man of the world and of materialities | Was yet, by the casuistry of association, mixed up | with the light weignts uf literature, and then, in the reaction of me, bad antagonized them, and | pow appeared against his protégé. Fora suort time the lawyers were wrangling to get in a conversation between Fraok Carpenter aud Schuitz, when the Judge, with bis long Memory and prec.sion, compelled it to be intro duced by a talk between Schultz and Tilton. Schultz made a good, stout witness, and was another mutual iriend. They are ail mutual iriends, Frank Moulton, sitting under Mr. Schultz, so much disturbed him that he repeatedly used Moulton’s name in place of Carpenter’s. This made Schultz laugh. The lawyers laughed, The witness, being a man of very positive temperament and of great intensity ana force of speech, gave bis testimony with an emphasis that made the room resound. Mr, lracy cross-examined, and Sebultz’s evideuce was certainly important, as bearing up the theory of Mr. Tracy's speech, that he had called Tiltom @ viackmailer before air. Beecher bad done so, Tue great Ciplomacy o/ Mr. Frank Oarpenter had caused this revuision in Sebultz’s mind, and Schultz bad called in isaac H, Bauey, who had agreed witn him, in Tilton'’s presence, that to establish a newspaper on the intimidating power of secret documents was a dishonest endeavor, A NEW WITNESS. Jackson 5, Schultz, sworn, tescfied that he lived in New York city; knew iiiton lor several years; held cordial relativas with him: was applied to vy ‘Tilton lor help in the enterprise oO! starting the Gowen Age; Mr. Luton aud Mr. Woodrud came to me; Tilton and | bad @ jong tuik over \ne suvject; lapproved of the scneme of the generai pian; i remember we discussed the probabiliues of toe success Of the enterprise and { asked him if Mr. Beecher Would sabseribe and be said, yes he would it he Was permitted; 1 Was astumished at the answer, as i thought tnat he and Mr, Beecher were good rieuds; 1 cid not give wim any money at that timé, Ut reserved my anawer until o future meeving. FRANK MOULTON, Wearing asait of pepper and salt, came in here, wiping bis nose delicately with @ fine bandker- chief, He sat down by Koger A. Pryor and staved ail day, taking a deep interest in the proceedings, Witness—I agreed to pat in $1,600, aud my partoer agreed to pat in #a equai amount; | had several interviews With bim;in Cause the enter. piise failed we were to iuse tue money; on che vc- casion of Mr. Bowen’s dischargiug fim of fis papers he referred to Mr, Beecuer in bitter terms as Ole WhO could bave come to his assistance when he needed it and did not; I was present at @ dinner given to ISAAC H.

At one o’clock the intensity of Mr. Schultz’s tes- tumony was increased by Frank Moulton bending lorward just at Schuitz’s feet aud looking up in his eyes, The two men could have shaken hands.

AT RECESS. Mr. Tracy, the examining lawyer, took luocn with Mr. Schultz, ois witness, Frank Moulton took the counsel for the plaintif® and also the Ptaintif down to his house in Remsenstreet, Mr. Beach, therefore, came back @ little sharpened up in tone. Mr, Moulton also retarned to court and listened very wearing an animated smile. Mr. Moulton had been talging to Mr. Schultz in the recess. Indeed, Mr. Schultz walked down from the witness chair at one o’clock and shook hands with Mr, Moulton | immediately, both laughing. The morning’s testimony being cumauiative witn the strong testimony.of Belcher, Johnson and | Wilkeson, made Mr. Beecher’s case undoubtedly stronger. He looked all the forenoon in the san- guine complex.on of one in hope and stiil weath- ering the stormy cape. His head was balanced easily on his shoulders, looking here tor congratu- Jation and there fora point; whispering to his wile, who is looking dreadiully sick of the law’s delay; and he had some words with Mr. Schultz before he got on the stand, and with Mr, Harman after be quitted it, Mrs. Titon, Bessie Tarner, Mrs. Fleld and the rest Were absent. There were present Von Piatt, and Lamb, the comedian, Opinion at the recess vi | fendant. “lam so mixed ap in the tangle and contrari- Bess of the matter,” said an old law reporter, | ‘that I don’t know any more about it than if I haa been living up in the woods.” “Mr. Beccher is perfectly confident of non-snit- ing Tilton,” said another. “He is making the Diackmalling theory plain, and snowing revenge, jealousy, money and cussedness to be at the bot tom of the scandal” “O, wWell,’’ exclaimed the skeptic of the chop- house, “‘ooth sides will prove their case. The adultery and the blackmail are compatible with each other. The biackmatl charge rests upon Schuitz’s interpretation of Frank Carpenter’s un- solicited interference. Frank thought he had a business genius and ought to publish a news- paper. So he makes the occasion of a domestic fuss between Tilton and Beecher to slip in his oar.” It was, on the whole, the brightest day of the tuial for the Beecherites, AFTER RECESS. Ata quarter past two o’clock the direct ex- mination o: Mr. Schuita was resumed by Mr. Tracy. The witne: aid i— When I asked Carpenter how Mr. Beecher’s | changing from tue pulpit to the press wouid help him Carpenter made areply; Itold Tilton the | reply Le made; It Was to the effect that ail that was contained in this case was reduced to a few documents; that they were held in escrow by Mouton, and could be destroyed at any time, and that the public scandal would cease in a iitue while, and tnat no legal proceedings could pos- sibly arise by reason Oi those papers; Carpenter said that Moulton had been cousulted avout the enterprise; 1 think I spoke of that to Tilton; I told Tilton that Moulton acted as a medium, passing ~ bei ween the two parues, irying to Keep peace be- tween them and save the public from the scandal; 1 told Tilton that Mouiton was one of the Brook- lyn parties that represented the Brooglyn interest; that Mou.tun iad been Consulted in the newspaper enterprise; 1 state now distinctly that Mr. Oar- penter represented himsell as having authority to represent nimsell, Tilton and Beecher to the New York friends; 1 said to ifiltou that Carpenter claimed to represent the Bro klyn Iriends, men- tioning hin apa Mr, Moulton, and 1 think he men- Uoned @uotuer gentieman;: iiiton did nol, 80 iar asi recoiject, Make auy reply to that, except at one of the interviews at the ciud, Moulton said be had no right to piace Tlitou in Lurope as foreign correspondent. Q. Did you at any time everrecetvea letter from | Mr. Beecoer on the subject of this newspaper enterprise? A. No. a. Or in relerence to Tilton peing @ blackmailler? A. No. Q. | call your attention to a time when Mr. Tilton | showed you a cieck? A. Yes; he came imto my ofice and showed me achbeck, purporting to be a check irom Heury U. Bowen for $7,000; he said that he had settled his Brooklyn aimcuity, that he had made them go down on their marrow bones; | he also showed me an article that he intended to publish as an explanation; be said that pe had materials cuougn to plow the roor off Piymoutn church; he said, in substance, thatif the Piy oath church people wouid not come to uis terms be would biow the root off Plymouth church. My Telerence to the alleged crimnai intercourse of Mr. Beecher with Tilton’s wtie followed that con- Versation. Tilton said his wife was a pure woman, | BEACH CROSS-EXAMINES SCHULTZ. Judge Fullerton is said to have gone into en campment temporarily in order to be fresh to | cross-examine Mr. Beecher. Mr, Pryor, according to outside rumor, expected to cross-examine after Pullerton’s absence, but Mr. Beach preferred to lead the examination oimself. Jasi after recess Mr. Tracy rejleved Mr, Schuita and Mr. Beach at once leaped in witha series of cold, searching, unsympathetic questions, His large blue eyes, siigltiy aquiline nose, hard lines in @ reddisn complexion, and severe, erect car- riage, backed by @ cool, critical voice, at times loud, haughty and overwhelming, made @ very effective comtrast o/ aathority and mental superi- ority over the power of busk and wovridly live weight, Scbuita grew aneasy in aiew minutes, but kept hia temper, swung to and fro in his chair and gestured with his bands, Mr. Beach brongnt out the admission that in the recess Mr. Tracy iad sted to refresn bis memory. The philosophy of Beach’s crosaexamination is tomake the witnoss recite woathe had aiready testified to, s0as to prove his evidence lacking in precision and being merely the articulation of his impressions. Mr, Evarts and the whole body of lawyers for the defence were moved forward in @ body, and the former, undertaking to relieve tne witness, was pounced upon by Mr. Beach os lecturing him ‘oo frequently, Mr. Evar' aid Mr. Beach was trylug to convey the impression that the witness was domb, and yet was afraid to let nim testily. Beach seldom fails to put his opponents under Testraint, @od he put them down in a few baren sentences and continued to badger tne oid Wust Me, Harman's objects could be, of Why he | conversation wiio Carpenter abous starting ® | Kaickervocker leatuer mercbant of tae Swamp. in to destroy them for a position on a paper; — e whole scheme as a | lotently all the whue, generally ed around for the de- | In half an hour the lawyer had the witne | locked up tight, and be reiused to repeat words woich he did not remember, “You want me to reveat language which I can- | not do,” said Scbhuitz to Beach, “and then when lL try togive you the substance of tt you stop me.” Here there was applanse trom the Plymouth | beuches, which were unusually full. Witness—I cannot tell you the month this check was exiouedto me; Mr. Tilton came into my of fice aud said, “L have settied with those Brooklya iellows,” aud he exhibited to me a check; he said to me, “i pave brougat them down on their mar- rowvones:” I think be read to me an arucle he | was going to publish, and also, | think, one Mr. Bowes was going to puolisn; out of this Lam nov sure; | congratulated bim oa getting rid of als aifficulty; 16 Was mot at the interview about the check that he spoke of biowimg the roof off Plymouth church; tt was ata previous time; the interview took place at my office; tucre Were some Clerks present; | recoilect this Luter | View distinctiy; 1t Was in the alternoon, | think, but lum not sure; when be showed me the cneck it Was My impression that fe had just settiea with the parues, and had come right over fgom Brook- lyn; 1 now think that the interview of Which Lam speaking took place four or six months previous to that. Q. Perhaps you could remember whether it was in the summer or winter season you had this in- terview? A. I can’t say exactly. Mr. Beach—The check bears date April 4, 1872. Mr, Scuultz—Tnen it must have been four or six weeks D-lore that. Q, Repeat that conversation? A, He came in With bis usual temper— Q. Idid not ask that. Give the conversation, A. lcannot give the exact language; I cannot tell how the conversation begal or wnat subject was siarced first. Q.

Give me the subject of the first remark that Was used by eliherof you. A. I can’t give you tne detaila—I can’t give the opening words; 1 remem- ber the matter generally; he came in and opened the supdject in the usual way, the matter of 18 aimicuity in Brooklyn; I asked him, “Do you charge slr, Beecher with having criminal rela- Uuns with your wile?’ he swung his haud around, iu e@ theatrical way, and said, “No, sir; ‘ue 18 a8 pure angel ;’? Mr. Tilion was speaking of bis difficulty; if you insist on my giv. | lug you the words Of the cOnversution I cannot | give them. Q. Give me all of the conversation as you re- member it. A. Mr. Iiiton came into my oillce 1a the usual way. Q. Give me all of the conversation you remem- ber on that occasion between you and Mr. ‘iltun. A. Lat unfortunate enough not to remember the words, Q Repeat all of the interview between you and | Mr. Tilton that you recollect? A. Whenever I attempt to give the substance of the conversa- tion you stop me. Q. Not at all, air. no other answer. Q. Did bot Mr. Tilton tell you that Mr. Carpen- ter had no rivhtto represent him in the news- paper enterprise? A. 1 do not recollect tuat; 1 think Mr. Mouiton, at the Union League Club room, may have told me Mr. Carpenter pad a» | Tignt to represent Mr. Tilton; thought there was no one present at that interview, but | under- stood there were Mr. Butier aud Mr. Watrous, CARPENTER SNUBBED BY PLAINTIFF, Ata quarter to three Mr. Beach extracted from Mr. Schultz the remembrance that a Mr. Charles Watrous and @ Mr. Butler were present at the Union League Club the night of a certain conver- | sation, “Fortanately, there was another witness there,” id Mr. Beach, significantly. ‘Ihis was preparatory to getting in the evidence that Tilton repudiaied Carpenter’s busy offices in starting @ new journal and sending him, Tilton, ubroad to be a foreign correspondent, Heury Clews and William S, Orton were present at tue celebrated interview at the Union League Club where Mr. Carpenter undertook to be a great di- plomatist. The scene between these two positive men was, of @ very hot nature; but Schultz kept evea-tem- pered, his deep, fattisn head, with @ heavy jaw and base and a chin more noticeavie than his nose, moving tervidiy, while the jury paid close attention, but yet their ears were dinned. Tne | dingy day fretted the eyes also. Nearly all the Jurors look iaded and tagged. The bairs of the foreman are getting thin, Number tour wants to go out at irequent occasions, They all look at the clock and appear to be in need of an almanac, Q. Did not Mr. Moulton and Mr. Tilton teil you | at the Union League Cinb that Carpenter had no right lo represent 1ilton? A, Ido not recoilect it Sy strong as you put it. Did not Mr, i11ton say that he would have no | Collnection with such a newspaper enterprise? A. 1do not recollect tout, Q. Did not Mr. Tilton tell you that he would not have apything to Go with aby Dewspaper with weich Mr. Beecher was connected? A. i! he said A. Iam sorry I can give you ~| yaat Lao not remember it. Q. Wno was present at the interview you had | | with Carpenter at the Union League Club? | A. Henry Ulewsand Mr, Orton; Mr. Carpenter invited me to be present; that interview was | tne 2)tn ot December, and 24th of January, 1872; 1 | saw Mr. Tilton after thatin my oflice; Mr. Tilton opened the conversatiun by asking me li 1 had in the course of conversation at the Union League Club room charged him with being a blackimatier; I told bim Fraua Carpenter had called us together about starting @ pe wspaper, that Ur. Beecher was to be editor Ol tne paper, that Mr. Tilton was to go abroad as fcreigu correspondent and that Mr. Mou ton had certaiu papers beid by him in escrow which were te be destroyed, and therefore 1s id Lielt justitied 12 making the statemeut | did; it was aiso said tuat the papers had been subuitted to Dr. Storrs, Q At any Of these conversations was the subject | of Ube charges made by Bowen against Nr. Beecher discusseu? A. 1 think they were discussed; I only bad one interview with Woodrall and Moul- ton; 1 do uot recollect that Mr. Pierrepont wus | present at a dianer at tue Union League Club when the subject of the Woodhull woman was in- troduced; Mr. Tilton and Mr. Ciews discussed that, and I tried to stop the severity oi the con- versation. REDIRECT, Q. By Generali Tracy—Is that the check (handing ope) which Mr. Tilton showed youY aA, He showed me a check for $7,000, but l cannot say that thie is the om the conversation | in which Tilton spoke to me of blow- ing the roof of Plymouth church was before he snowed me this check; bow lon betore I cannut say; I never suid to Tilton that thought the newspaper enterprise a good one, £ wouid, therefore, go into it; I did not say thar; 1 cannot exactly repeat the language used by Moul- ton atthe Uni n League Ciub as to Carpenter's authority; the statement that I nad charged ‘ilton with being a blackmualler got talked about a good deal in the club, Q In tvat conversation did Tilton m any way tut the avtuority of Carpenter, except as to say that he bad no authority to send nim to Europe? Ruled out. Q. Was there anything eise said by Tilton tn that couversation as to che autnority of Carpenter, ex- cept What you have stated? A. | do not recollect, CHARLES G. JUDSO: was examined oy Mr. Shearinan at @ quarter past three. He is an india rabber merchant, in Wortn street, New York, @ modest man, in an overcoat, with a frail voice, wlio had enjoyed many years’ acquaintance with Beecher and Tilton, Like | many witnesses in this case he had heard Tilton converse at restaurants. Tilion appears to have dined at all the clabs and restaurants in New | York, and whenever he dined he pulled out a man. | useript and made important disclosures over nis | claret and eggs. It would appear that his entire | life for several years had been passed in eating at | | restaurants and producing the true story. “Where will we ena? Where will weend when we do end,” broke in Roger A. Pryor as Mr. Shear. | Man undertook to draw {irom Judson some old restaurant conversation. “Ah!? exclaimed the Judge, “1h thought of vhat, Mr. Pryor, many and many a time!” Here tnere was great lauguter in Court. Mr. Pryor was in a sort o| heat, and he muttered that the deience was wandering into infinite space. | Then Beach got up and maae a speech against | the everlasting continuance of conversations not | Televant to the issue. Evarts replied, promising to connect Jadson’s story with something more relevant. | Beach toen expressed a rather sneering sens of the evidence that had already been adduced for tne defence. He said he had not seon any- (hing marvellous aboat it, This nettled Evarts, | who replied that, whether marvellous or not, It | was pertinent. | | Very lutte was obtained from Mr. Judson, ex- cept his knowledge that Tiiton was out of sorts with Beecher several years be(ore, and had talked mysteriously, The witness had reported Tilton’s evil Words to Beecher, and that stopped their ao quaintance, Q. Where do you reside, Mr, Judson ? A, Iresiue in the city of New York. Q How iong have you resided in New York’ A. lived tuere for twenty or twenty-five years. Q Are you acquainted witn the parties 10 this ce ‘now to mug bave you known them? A. | bare koown Mr. Beecher for twenty years and Mr, ‘Tilton avout M teen or eighteen years, | think. q Whatis your occupation’ a. | am @ mer chant by occupation aud conduct my business In @ Worth sti w York. @ Weat is the nature of your busiuess? AL om in the india rupder busine Do you recoliect baving had @ conversation with Mr. Jiiton in the mouth of November, 1966, | ia whlen Mr, Beecher was we suwees os disc ) wi Ua, , LOOKER Bud tu sion? A. I don’t recollect the time exactly, bat my Impression is that If was previous to the 22d oi November, or about tnat part of the month, q. Where did tnat conversation ocear? A. It Wus ai Demonico’s, Q. State how you care to meet Mr. Tilton there? A. lean‘t think precisely how it Was; Mr, ‘Tilton dined with we at Delmonico’s, Q. Did you have any conversation with him on that occasion concerning Mr. Beecher and the members of Plymouth canreb, and state What that Was tu substalice as near ag you can recollect, Mr. Beaen oojected, and’ said that that was wholly immateriat. Mr, Shearman retorted, saying that 1t was per- fectiy material to the issue, as they would show, Judge Neuson—We will take it, then, aud see what it is, General Pryor rose and said:—‘If Your Honor | please, what is said as to the Plymouth church Inembers iu that conversation 13 nut matertal to this case.” The Court, however, directed te witness to proceed, and Mr, Shearman reiterated — his question, Withess—{ can’t state the conversation in sub- | stance; 1 do not remember more tnan one or two facts thereol; we were discussing Mr. Beecher, Plymouth churen and ite members, and comment followed comment. &. What was said on that subject? eneral Pryor objected that what was said as | to the members of Plymouth church was ir- Televant and had nothing to do with this suit. Mr. Shearman said: ‘1 take it that Mrs.'Tilton 18 + raaeey of Plymouth church, if it comes to tha General Pryor askea, * Where will we end; When will we end if we continue in this way ?? Judge Netison— If Icouid 1 would auswer that question ; 1 have thought of that many a time. (Laugater.) Q. Weil, what was the substance of the conver: tion’ A, The conversation was cmelly in regard | 1o Mr. Beecher, and grew vut of comments about Piymouth church and its members ; 1 remarked that I Was glad that Mr. Beecher during bis long connection with the church had escaped all charges of anything improper, 80 far as women | were concerned; Mr. Tilton answered, and said to me :— I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE MAN. And 1 said to nim, do you mean to intimate, Mr. Tiiton, vy tat that you think Mr. Beecher nas been criminally iatimate with other women, He answered me again, “i have lost faith in the man.” J said, “those remarks coming Irom you, | who have beer so long and intimate a irtend of Mr. Beecher, mean something, aud 1 want to know now whether you charge tim with criminality with womeu,’’ and said again— Mr. Beach rose and objected, and satd the range of questions on this point was immaterial, as what occurred as indy! a8 1865 could not be con- sidered pertinent to this case, and it might make the defence havie to susiain the proois, Lit was | not the intention of the counsel to do so then tis | tes imony Was not admussibie. If the eviuence | Sappho and Livonia; Messrs. Beecher, Tilton snd | Moulton were along; Mr. Beecner kept aloof from | toe others; I did not think he was cordial; Ol aa cending tue Wali street bill (rom the terry 1 com pany with Mr, Beecher, L said to him it was @ pity Mr, Moulton couid not be brougut under beter religious influences than ne was; le saul it was ® pity, but tvat he was youug and affected with @ good many isms; he was young, put would be cured of all that; ae sail, “Prank Moulton 1s a noodle jeliow;’’ [heard Mr. Moulton give an 1avk tution to Mr. Beecher to come to bis house, but } do not remember that he said Mrs. Woodnuil wat at tis house. ‘This camcluded the examination of Mr. Baxter MR. DRAKE'S DEPOSITION. Mr. Shearman—If there is no objection on tne otner side L would like to read a deposition of Mr. J. 4. Drake Which Was takeu before his departure jor Europe, No objection was iuterposed and Mr. Soearman read the deposition, which set torth that depovent is 4 grain merchan: and member of the Produce Exchange; a resident of Stacven island; has no interest with either of tne parcles to this suit; remembers the publication of tne scandal in Woodhull & Vlajtin's Weekly 1n Novem- ber, 1872, in which Mr, Beecher was cuarged with improper relations with the plaintiffs wile; haa @ couversation with Mr, Moulton two or three days after tbe publication in the Produce EX- change; Moultun denounced tne pubdlication as a “damned meddiing old wom:0’s story; Moulton sald as to tbe charge of Criminality, “If Mr. Beecher’s record ot twenty-five years 1s not a vindication of him against such @ charge he docs not get any vin- dication at my hands; deponent had known Mouiton for five years, but had never been a con- fuant of his; their re:ations were purely of a Dusi- ness character; their jamilies never visited euca other; dia not know Mr. ‘Tilton. As soon as Mr. Shearman had conciuded read- ing the deposition he remarked that as it was now so near four o’clock it Was not worth while calling anotner witness. Judge Neilson thereupon ordered the court ade journed till eleven o’clock this morning. ST. PATRICK’S DAY. OFFICIAL PROGRAMME FOR THE CIVIC PROCES- SION, The following 1s the official programme jor the civic procession o1 Hivernian societies to-morrow, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day :— ‘The line ot the civic procession will be formed in Sec ond avenue, the right resting on Twenty-third street. rae various societies will take post In the following order :— Ancient Order of Hiberniang (thirty-three divisions).

He doubted whether the Court would peruatt them to assert In answer, as itis uot pertinent to the issue, Suppose the pluintil seid Mr. Beecier was pare, or, supose e suid Mr. Beecher was polluted, ten years ago, yhat relation would that have Lo this trim? The Cuurge ou tial arises only three years ago, and | how, here, We are traveiling back to this remote period, Wien no charges were made to influence the result of tis trai, He appealed to the Court if it Was admissible in evidence, Judge Neiison—{ ask that the question be put, though | don’t see its relevancy. Mr. Evarts asked, how can Your Honor see its relevancy tilt you hear it? As counsel lie would show from tne evidence which they would adduce that 1t would be material. Mr. Beach said it was not sufficient that they should show it without other evidence. They were waiting for extraordinary revelations all the tume. COUNSEL ADMONISHED AS TO BREVITY. Judge Neilson thought it quite uatural that counsel should cail atcention to the line of oe @ dence. In the face of it it was not material. had taken Occasion to intimate to counsel on sides to get nearer to the real issue in tnis In the ordinary course of this Court we take twice the amount o/ testimony we do here. ‘Tne sim- piest pieces oj testimony were suojects of ex- tended consultation between counsel, which seemed altogether unnecessary, and tne Court | hoped they would endeavor to use more expedi- tion, Q. What did you then say to Mr, Tilton? A. [| said again to him, a3 near as I can remember, that | This Coming irom Lim meant sometuing to me; 1 asked bim again whecber he meant that wr, | Ha Beecher nad veen criminally intimate with wom- | en, and he said again he had lost faith in the man. Q. After this conversation when did you see Mr. Tilton again? A. 1 saw him again at my office; he calied on Me abut three days alter tia couversa- | tion of which Ispeak, and ne asked me if had | seen Mr. Beecher since he had that taik at Del- monico’s; [said I hac seen Mr. Beecher. and he asked me what I nad said to him; I told him that Isaid to Mr. Beecuer the subs'ance of what he | said to me; he askea me why I told Mr. Beecher, and isaid I told Mr. Beecher in order to put him on bis guard, because 1 was @ friend of Dis; he said to me, “I am disappuinted in you; I had thought that you were one of my best and most reliable friends ;” {said to him, ‘I should have done the same for you under the same circumstances if you were in tiie same place ;’’ he said he was wis- taken in me; he then leit my office and has never spoken to me since. THE JUDGE BOUNCES THE DEFENCE. When Juason got througi his testimony Mr, Beach moved Lo strike it ail out as immaterial, The Judge said “No; let it stay in, it is as harmless as a Jamppost in the street.” Mr. Evarts was up in a minute, with his most statesman-like, saocked and important face. attempted a miid rebuke to the Judge tor prejudg- ing evidence not to be important until they “con- | nected it.” The Judge said, with a rather angry face, that such trivial evidence wus an outrage in the im- | portance ofa judicial preceeding. Great flurry, Brother Shearman looked more profoundly rabbinical than ever. Judson stepped down and out. ARCHIBALD BAXTER, anold New York me:chant and member of Dr. | Storrs’ church, took the chair at half-past tnree. | He was a bald old party, with @ little Jurze hold. ing tothe top of his head and @ great deal of beard depending trom his chops.
