PORTER STILL St ———_+—__— ‘What Tilton Thinks of the Coun- sel’s Menacing Gestures. “THEY ARE SIMPLY GROTESQUE.” An extraordinary scene was presented yester- day in tue court room of the Brooklyn Court House in the Beecher triai wien the pleader, ex- Jutge Porter, tarsed upon the plaintuf in the case In scurillous abuse and turned thea to the defendant in language of extravagant eulogy. ‘The court room was about as full as ever, The heat was rather oppressive, but neither Mr, nor Mra. Beecher appeared aifecte: in the least. Mrs, Beecher kept her eyes steadily Mxed on the earnest Porter, who spoke ta the same zealous strain as he adopted at (he beginning. Porter was far clearer and more earnest than ever he was before, yet bis arguments were curious. He per- sisted in the line of eloquent tik aimed at the destruction of Tilton’s reputation, as i that ac- complishment could justiity Beecher. On one oceasion he turned round upon (he piatntid in o most menacing aod insolent manner, and while abusing bim right soundiy and cabling Tilton a scoundrel in @ high pitctiea tone of voice, he suddenly dashed his clenched, nervous fist almost into the face of the man he was Viluperating. AS’ he (Porter) did so lilton lowered his head and handed Mr. Beacn a note on some previous point made by the speaker. Tais movement, though not intended to avoid Mr. Porter, aisconcerted im for a moment, and ois hind went sawing in whe air like a irightenea bird seeking a place of rest. So constant were the gesticulations by Mr. Porter when alluding to the pluint™, thas they were commented on by many, and when one of Mr. Tilton’s counsel was asked what his principal thougnt of the gestures, the lawyer replied :—Ob, be looks npon them as simply grotesque.” At any rate Tlitem takes the matter very calmly and coolly. ‘The lawyer may be entitled to many privileges. He is certaimy entitled to mine @ Witness to the fullest extent of his ability and elicit the trath atany cost; but the methoa adopted by Mr. Por- ter in speaking of and to the piaintif in this case has no parallel im American jurispradence. He acknovledged thts ‘act himself during the day. Still, he is effective and ieaves a clear eld for the more po.isued Bvarts, who wil speak ia courtly language. Mrs, Beecher wore her cust) mary look of placid feeling and Mr. Beecher was as strong and seli-re- lant in nis bearing ag if no charge under heaven had ever been presented against bim. The pastor of Plymouth church evidently enjoys the invec- tives of bis counsel, and, when a hard was made, | 4° as — joyonsly aboy. At ze Porter alluded to iilton’s statement that Mr. Beecher did not love his wife, As he did so both smiied and looked into eacn otber’s eyes, exchinging @ Look of conn- dence fiat was touchiog. The day was an impor- tant one for (ne defence, but the plaintif’s ceun- gel took voluminous notes for future use, Ever since Judge Porter vegan his address Mr, Beach bas taken copious nores of Porter's argument, and Will combas all bis points wita his character- istic foree and energy. Frank Mouiton came in the first time since the evidence was closed, and he listened with a> parent interest to the adaress, taking Nis share of the vituperation coolly aud good bumoredly. in fact, be seemed to enjoy the sensation, Mr. Porter will probably conclude his address at id will be at once followed by Mr. jefence will thus hold the attention court yesterday for noon to-day Byarts. Thi of the jery, as both specches will be united, there being ho jong break between the speakers. ‘fais was evidently the aim of the counsel on the Beecher side when they procured an adjournment on Friday. Porter » a8 enablea yestercay to take up his discogrse and carry it ou to # fitting end, end as hw sits Gown Evarts will take up tue argu- went. JUDGE PORTER RESUMES. Jadge Porter took up the letter of contrition and called the jury’s attention to the circum- stances uncer Which Moulton alieged Mr. beecuer it, apd which jetter the defendant der Wrote, and continued;—l bave trasiea this to Pr: ys that Mr. Beecher bad dictated this letter, every word, irom begin- ping to end, from Alpuato Omega.

Do you suppose if a scoundrel wants to lorge your hame that he would C muke bis forgery as like your signature as pos- sible? A Wun With te brains and craft and WICKEDNESS OF TLLTOS when preparing to destroy his enemy, would see to it that tuere would be a similitude or » lLkeness to the atyie of writing, uted to Mr. Beecner by Tilton, by Moulton, and, I am sorry to say, by Mrs, Moulton, all bear the stamp of Tilton’s matice. You remember that greais word, “paroxysmal,’? which to this day furnishes occasion to ali those un- favorapiy disposed to Mr. Beecher, imputing from the eharge that he used the word, that he was guilty of the base crime of adultery. and yee tne words ‘paroxysmal kiss,” who ever heard Trom the Ups of Mr. beecter, save by the two men, the conspirators here, Theodore Tilton and Frank Mouttoa’ In the first place the expression ts one which Mr. Beecher ts utterly incapable of utter- ing. And there 1s @ difference between & man With brains and without # heart, anda man with brains and with a heart as well, When Beecher speaks ne speaks Jorcible, living, burning words. Bul the sham woo kvows notniug but the sounds of words may yet be cap nivting terms of expressions to give them the sig- nificance he desires, On that pight—tuat snowy night--Mr. Beecher Is said to have taken occasion to deliver himself in this wise—to aman who to that day never crossed his threshho.d, and whose toresanold be (Beecher) for the lirst time crossed that nighi—not an abswer to a question puk to him, bata yolantary thing oa his part. «4 stand on the brink o( a mora! Niagara.’ ’? That is, Tilton, not Beecher. Do you think that Henry Ward Beecher would speak of a moral Niagara? He would as scon talk of a mora! haystack or & moral swamp. There is no meauinsin suck words.’? As the speaker uttered these short, sharp, incis- ive sentences, his voice rose and mis Nand, tight.y clenched, went up 1m tne air like a catapult, and he glared hercely at Mr. Tiltop, who returned nis | gaze serenely. Mr. Porter is too harsh in his treatment of the principal in the case, and few of the spectators outside the Beecher circle seem tolike it, Ashe taiks of moral swamps a smile ripples over Mr. Beecher’s face, and all those around him seem to euloy the epithets huried at Mr. Tilton, The plaimtitr bases himseif in taking notes, and when he ceases he looks long and cari- estly at the defendant. COINING WORDE. With Beecher worus have meaning; there is life and spivit in his words; significance and © hereucy in them. But with Tutop, a “mor: Niagara,” and the incongruous ideas which tt con- veys, Would have @ rhetorical charm ior him, @ud Ge puts tuem in tne lips of Beecher a8 lis language. | might multiply examples of this run- | Ding Lorough the testimony of Tiiton, Moulton | and Mrs. Moalvon, where they impute language to him oe never used and never was capaoie of using. That paroxysmal kiss has been taken up by all the country newspapers hostile to us, and they will taik of Heary Ward Beecher’s parox- | ysmal kiss of tue woman he attempted to ravish. Allow me to read tis paper and to ask you whether you believe that aman like Henry Ward Beecuer qeliberately dictated @ word or wrote @ Word of such Sentences 3 are Contained in the letter of contrition, Judge Porter read the letier, parsing and criticising what he pointed out a8 grammatical blunders, suck, aé he claimed, Mr. Beecuer could never have made. From that lester Tilton argues that Beecher intended to admit tae commission of adultery (quoting trom tue letier); ‘she is gulltiess, sinued against, bear- ing the transgession of another.” Tiitoa denies the divine principle, He rejects that absolutely, that Divine influence created ali human beings, even the injerior apimais—male and female— created He tuem, Bat here 1s @ case of male adul- tery only. Way, What @ foolish thing tt wus to create Kve, Adam alone coula have been the Progeaitor of all the posterity that sprung irom Doth, according to Tilton’s theory. You eee that tne very language cf vne letier utterly excludes the idea that Beecker was coniessin, adultery, even if that were ms own writing in- stead of Frank Moulton’s. Tilton, Whe once Wor- suipped in Beecher’s charcn and koew bim, thoughts that “his extravagance of expression was the thing to make the letter appear as rer's—folaed hands seemed eloquent; amoral Niagara eloquent; “‘simned agains’ was elo- quent—aill these purases seemed to Dim just the ¢ Beecher should write and speak and give ulterance to, “She is gail'less;” he is ap adulterer witlle there 18 no adulteress.

Cousse! then contended that there was some- thing crue! ia the platnia’s endeavor to preja- dice the community against an ignocent man, He urged that it was desirable the jury should peep +2 View that the sult Was not Drought by Mr. Moul- won. It was a suit brougnt by Tweodore Titon— he who was allegea to have been wronged. Here the speaker becomes very impressive; for he apparently feels the importance of the occa- sion, and is eloquent as be proceeds, His manner improves, aad ne devotes himself entirely to the jury and jess vo Tilton, wao, pertaps, imagmes be is in the dock.
