THE PERPLEXING TRIAL General Tracy Makes His “State- ment” in the Witness Chair, ———-——_— THE CHARGE IMPROPER SOLICITATIONS. Was ‘There Any Violation of Professional Etiquette by Tracy ? A SUNDAY CONSULTATION. Tilton's Explicit Denial of the Woodhull Averment. MRS. OVINGTON RECALLED. Cireomstances Which Attended Mrs. Tilton’s Desertion of Her Home. Dulness and dampness characterized yester- duy’s proceedings im the Beecher-Tilton trial. There was les3 than the usual attendance. Tne women, however, mustered sirong, and the Beecher people were oa hand im force, Mr. Beecher was uncommonly flushed, as if he had been taking more than ordinary physical exer- cise. Mrs, Beecher was ali in black, her color good, and her eyes oright and sanguine. Fuller- ton and Beach were present, 4 BAR IS ON FULLERTON. He cannot cross-examine Tracy, as it would vio- late what is considered good taste. Tracy prose- cuted Fullerton some few years ago on behalf of the United States, when Fullerton was under the imputation of having entered into collusion—he being au internal revenue officer at the time— With some whiskey distillers. Tracy had a habit of referring to the defendant in the suit as “one Fallertou” and “the fellow Fullerton,” methods of relerence which were extremely galling and that Fuilerton’s human nature was not likely to Jorget. In the course of the trial the animus be- tween these two men has been conspicuous. Both were always more or less under self- control. The feeling for the greater part was on the side of Fullerton, but he has never permitted himself to pass the limits of propriety. Tracy Was caro\ul in offering ovjections to Fullerton’s Btyle of cross-examimation. Beach will conduct the cross-examination of Tracy. Itis natural enough to surmise that the old colieague of Fallerton, catching the spirit or antipathy and revenge that animates his partner, will make it A WARM CROSS-EXAMINATION. Tracy has escaped Charybdis to be damaged, perbaps, on Scylia. Beach spoke, in toe course of the day’s proceedings, a short, forcible speech, in Which he made ashot at Tracy, accusing him, in an indirece way, of reveallagthe secretsof his quondam client, Tilton, and Tracy winced per- ceptibly; formo charge can be made against a lawyer more irritating tham one of a betrayal of coniidence. Again Beach spoke, aad this time he Made a@ poweriul address that stirred the audience to that point of enthusiasm where they felt like @xpressing their approval in audible sounds. He Addressed bimsel! to the parposs of showing that Moulton was more an agent of Beecuer than of Tilton, and ridiculed the theory of the detence ‘that Moulton and Tilton were bound up as one, and that Moulton was cxciusively the representa- tive of Tilton. 4 BROTHER'S FEELING. During the progress of Tracy’s examination Dr, Eoward Beecher, woo1s constantly in coart, Bnd stands up bali the time in the neighborhood Of the jury, was yesterday requested by the police ollicer to sit down, and Dr. Edward took a seat, Bad ‘elt atrife numiliated, He 18 a soit, large- faced man, with White hair and whiskers, with an extremely moist and benevolent eye and an preasiou ago! one who lived om candy and ice cream exclusively.

THE PRINCIPAL POINTS made in the examination of Tracy were that alter he bad been introduced to Moulton by Wooa- rail be had a second interview with the former at | Ris (Moulton’s) house. He stated that Moulton had aid, in speaking of the plstoi scene in Mr. Beecher's siudy, that he had not threatened Mr, Beecher, but that be bad merely sait he would de- fend the retraction if given to him with bis lie. ‘The witness said he asked Mouiton if he had asked Mr. Beecher to preside at the Steinway bf mecting. Moulton replied that ia his preset.cc Mrs, Wooabull iked the great Piy- mouth preacter to preside. Mr. Tracy then asked U Mr, Tilton hed spoken to Mrs. Woodhull about the scandal, aud Mouiton replied tuat he would pre- fer Mr, Tilton should answer tbat question, Tilton then came, and alter some sbort preliminary con- Versation, ia which Mr. Tiltom said that he wag Qbpry tnat he (General Tracy) had been calied imo the case, Tilton asked if, according to tne etiquette of his projession, Mr. Tracy could become counsel jor Mr. Beecher in case he (Til- ton) came into collision with him. Mr. Tracy re- pled tuat, putting out of sight THE ETIQUETTZ OF THE PROFESSION, he could not become Mr. Beecher’s adviser if he once entered the case with him, The witness ‘then said that Tilton proceeded to read the “true story.” Mr. Tracy went oa to say that he had asked Tliton-if Beecker bad committed adultery ‘With bis wire, and that Tuton replied iu the nega- tive. Tracy aavised Tilton, in view of ail tne cir- cumstances then cropping up about him, tu go to Europe; that there was no chance for nim in journalism on this side for the present; bat that alter a iew months or ® year’s aurence he might come back, and, being a bright, clever fellow, get On the staf of any paper.

Mr, Tracy said he then read it carefully, und told Moulton that he did not see that it prevented a denial of the Woodhull scand hat the letter declared Mrs, ‘Tilton to be innocent, “SINNED AGAINST, NOT SINNING.’” Moulton then showed bim Mrs, ‘Tilton’s letter of retraction; the witness said if seemed to imply that Mr. Beecher had been attempting the virtue of Mrs. Tilton without success; he asked for the history of the papex, and Moulton said tuat after ‘Villon had uecused Mr, Beecher the jutter went to Vilton’s house, i his absence, and obtamed this retraction; that Tilton learned of this trom ms wile, WoO made an explanation o1 the proceeding; that Mr. Tilton came to him the next aay, greatly | offended about it, and that he (Moulton) then ob- } taimed the retraction from Mr. Beevner; Moulton said that the statement jn the Wovdbull publication, that ué obtained this by a threat Was ialse; that Re Obtained it from Mr, Beecher by representing ‘Tilton’s anger and his own epinton that Mr, Beecher had acted unwisely in the matter; that Mr. Beecher said ne wanteo the letter tor his protection, and that he (Moulton) romised to preserve both that and the ietter con- aining the accusation; Moulton suid that in ma‘ ing this promise he put his band vp his pistol and said that he would protect the paper, if it was given to him, with his lie; he said explicitly that he made no threat to Mr, Beecher, and that the Woodhull article was entirely false in tas par- ticular; Moulton suid that the letter containing the charge bad been returned to Mr, Tilton, and the wifness thought Mr. Moulton sald it nad been destroyed; Moulton said that THE LETTER OF RETRACTION implied that ilton hud coerced bis wile into mak- tpg the charge, and that it was this which gave great offence to Mr. Tilcou; the next part of the article considered was that in regard to an alieged interview with Mr. Beecuer in reference to induc- ing him to preside at the Steinway Hali meeting; Moulton said that this part of the article was false; the witness testided that Moulton said Mrs. Woodhull never got any information irom him in regard to those parts of the article whica he had deciared to be false; Moulton said he did not believe that ‘Tiitom ever said a word to Mrs. Woodhull in regard to Mr. Beecher’s rela- tions with his wile; the witness said ne asked if Mr. ‘iton charged Mr. beecher with adultery, and Mr, Moulton sald Do; the witness then asked what ne did charge, and Mr. Moulton said he would rather have nim ask Tilton; Moulton then said that Tilton was to be present atthe interview, went out, aud re- turned with Tilton; the latter asked the witness if the etiquetze of his profession would prevent him from being counsel for Mr, Beecher, in the event of a controversy, if be (Mr, Tilton) made to the witness @ statement of his charge against Mr, Beecner; the witness repited that i one of two pariies to @ controversy made a stat mentor his case to him he should not feel himsell at verry to uct ag counsel for the other; Mr. Tiiton then began vo read a Manuscrip:, explaining passages as he went along, so Ubat the witness was now unable Nr, ‘Tilton read aad reading and the verbal comments;
