4 THE TERRIBLE. TRIAL Mr. Beechier’s Repeated Contradiction of the Plaint.ff’s Testimuny. WHO IS GUILTY OF PERJURY? Wilkeson Swearing in His Nightshirt—The Tripartite Shal! Be Published. A KISS OF INSPIRATION Why the Plymouth Pastor Threatened to Resign His Pulpit. The proceedings yesterday in the Brooklyn trial Were dull and weak and peo; le fel: asicep defore the periormance ended, Mr. Beecher continued todeny. This continual denial is not pleasant to Qear. It infers a desperate course of perjury somewnere, Ti/ton and Moulton must, ¢ Mr, Beecher’s testimony be credited, bave contrived due of the most outrageous conspiracies of which the worid has ever ieard. His loug and solemn lime of cenials wil, if believed, overturn tue Mrongest positions of the plauuil. They are ap. palling in toeir injerences. Mr. Beecher continued hia story in pretty much te same manner us on the day previous, the voice was brave ani buoyant. Something of the dreadful experience this man has passed througo Was revealeu in the narrative he gave ol a couver- vation with Mou ton. “i nave stood it long enouch, filton’s temperament is unrelisbie. Waen outof mor be is ready t» break out im accusation, When in good awor be is all compromise.” THE COMING ORDEAL, Mr. Beecher, even unver the tender question- ings of an examination by b's chie! counsel, seems to show signs of weakeniug, aud by his mauner suggests the possidiliiy Of an utter relapse wuen he comes within the scope of tue microscopic 1n- terrogatories that will be torown out by the law- vers ob the opposite side, Tiusiar he has painted ais own piciure. It is a mosaic, and by nis friends S regarded as something grand and full of the ements that illustrate the character of their great leader; yet when, under the critical examination of a counsel at once cold, eente and amulytica!, color alter color i abstracted from the brillant portraiture af evenws. It is a nice and yet undetermined question how much will be left around which the triends of the areat preacber can gatner and ad- @ire. It is to ve boped that ne ts not weakening, but, from the beginuing to the end oO! bis testi- mony, there haa been a daily increasing intensity of “gusn.” which, to the cold ciltics outside the court room, has oveen anything bur Satisfactory. No one who looks upon the wuness, as he sits there trembling under the painful probing even o! bis chief pLysician,ec n Delp teeling a degree of pit} tnat so mucn heart- bDlood 1s jorced to duw; but When the great wound ig torn apart by the ruthless scalpel of toe dissect- (ng surgeons on the otner side, who can tell what Will be the result? SPENDING THE LAST SUNDAY. “I am spending my last Sunday.’ The expial won of this letter was remarkable. He nad @ @ertain religious, spiritualistic experience. He felt he was near neaven. The expianation tell on the ear of the Couyt with « strange effect. Mr. Pullerton stood up ana objected, aud as he related bis objections Mr. Beecher toided bis arms and Swayea uneasily t6 and tro. MR. EVARTS’ POSITION. Entrenched in his great professional reputation, the idol of @ large, bappy aud veautiful family, “troops of iriends’’ and ali ihe conditions that Mate lie delignt{ul, Mr. Evarts impresses himself more ana more upon ihe audience who listen to bis eXamination of Mr. Beecuer aay by day.
