In the interval of a consuitation between toe plaintif’s counsel Mr. Beecher amused bimsé.t arranging @ very small bouquet of fowers wuich he held in his hand. The consulting counsel ob- Jected to the question as to what occurred be- ‘ween the witness and Mrs. Tilton on the occasion when he was calied to see her after she left her husband. Beach contended that Mrs, ‘Tilton’s deciarations at that time were not competent evidence. While Beach argued Beecher reclined io his chair and reddened slightly in the face as Beach quietly but sententiously argued, “the adulterer cannot be permitted to tell what nap pened between bim and his accomplice im adultery im order to exonerate himseif.’’ Q Now what was the interview betweenMrs, Tiiton and yoursel! on that occasion t Mr. Beacu—One moment, sir, We object to this evidence, Mr, Evar's—This interview, of course, between the deiendant and Mrs. Tilton is tne very subject Matter in this cuse which any Witness Who saw ms together could testiiy o/, and by the same pecessity Mr. Beecuer, being & witness of what dd under his own eyes io the intercourse be- ween Mr. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton dur! te period of their acquaintance, or belore the period of this accusation, to the end of December and aiterwards, I suppose also certainly beiore then, this is @ Olrect Matter of proot, Judge Netison—Even to the extent of the con- versaion ?

THAT “IMMACULATE” BEECHER WIT- NESS, PRreRspuRG, Va., March 30, 1875, Benolding from the RERALD's report of the great Beecher trial that a colored brother who formerly resided in this city figure as one of the witnesses jor the defence, the writer was moved to seek an informal discourse— which couid hardly be styled an interview—with ‘Mr. Edmund H. Osvorne, with whom the witness referred to—one James Bb. Woodley—iormerly lived and for whom he worked. Mr, Osborne 1s the resi dent partner of the frm of Osborne & Chienes— not ‘“heese,” as the papers made it— large tobacco manufacturers, and accustomed to employ many negroes. Mr. Osvorne remembered the boy perfectly well, and identified him in his | memory by sundry incidents and associations. Of his inteliigence Mr. Osborne spoke highly; he said he regarded Woodley as of more than ordinary | | the above jaw, cleverness and qaickness, and that, for a negro and considering his opportunities, ne had a good educa- tion, He was also brisk, polite and industrious but there nis good character must end. Jim was @ great rascal, quick at a lic and plausible in the telling or it; artistic in covering up his tracks and in giving the most credibie color to woatever he asserted. He was just ‘the man, in the opinion of his former employer, to learn such @ tissue Of falsehoods as his evidence seemed to be, and to reel it off giibiy and confidently. He had pienty of wit to lick such a story into decent shape, and plenty of the kind of courage which is called cheek to stick to his version as long as his services were appreciated, It was a matter of surprise, however, that the evidently weak points Of bis testimony were nos seen and exposed, For instance, Woodiey testified that his object in going to New York was to invest at better rates of Interest than could be commanded here @ considerabie sum of money that he had earned, Mr. Osborne says that the negro had no money, and went to the Norih to get work. The pretence Of bis being @ capitalist ta search of a suitabie investment of his superfuons means was in every respect thin and ridiculous. Apart from the fact that Woodley had no money when he left this city, 1t 19 true that the highest | | Tates of interest were paid for money on deposit in the banks of this citv at the time, which circum- stance culminated, among other canses, in the } explosion of the Mercuants’ National Bank in 1873, with @ smali deficiency of some $400,000 or $500,000. But perhaps Mr. Woodley was so astate a finan- ier that ne oresaw this collapse, which caught experienced white capitalists unawares, and so, like the prudent man in the Scripture, he foresaw the evil and hid himself. Judicious Woodley, that went to New York with o half dollar in his pocket in order to invest it where the rate of in- terest was high on deposits, where motn could not eorravt nor thieves break through and steal! Another circumstance. Woodiey toid Mr, Ful- lerton that “he would not teli his wife if -he haa one how much money he had,” or words of tanta- mount meaning. Mr. Osborne says the fellow haa & wife here, and also one of those facile, but fas- cinating iemale companions of whom King Solo- Mon had an assortment several huadred strong. Mr. Osborne identified his tormer tobacco- stemmer by sundry circumstances that he re- called, When Woodley first removed North he would still retarn to Petersvurg to vote (a negro had rather vote tor a carpet-vagger than go to | heaven on the wings of a dove), clanming that nis | city was nis residence so long aa his wile lived here, and he bad the animus reveriendi, Finally | he carried his wife away, aud wos ng more heard | of af ivast five you 4 made a@ consideraple | Against the city treasury ofthe ity dept, of December 30, a statement of and tor cubad Salaries, Toterest on the city Pu i Pubtie insiruction Indebtedness of the NEW WOAKS AND LAPROVEM!
