™ NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE CHANGE OP FRONT, The Tilton-Beecher Jury Still Silent. THEY SEND FOR EVIDENCE. A Verdict Not Expected for Several Days. THE ARREST OF LOADER, Affidavits of Colonel Beecher and J: J. Price, The Beecher people were very joyful yesterday over the news that Joseph Loader, the uphoisterer who recently Made affidavit to having seen Mr, Beecher and Mrs. Tilton once upon @ time in an equivocal and embarrassing position, had been arrested the night vefere. Counsel Shearhnan w in a state of positive ecstacy. During the trial proper he was overshadowed by the other connsol and had to play a subordinate part, but now his opportunity das core, and all the native genus of she man comes into active exhibition, To Six man’s fertile resources have been accredited those REMARKABLE DISPLAYS on the pert of Mrs. Tilton which excited such unt- versal comment—her appearance in the court room, like the embodied apparition of an un- avenged wrong, and her recent aMdayit entering ® sweeping protest ggainst all that was charged by ber husband, tne plainti, againet Henry Ward Beecher, The afMdayit of John J. Price 18 the jatest triumph of Mr, Shearman’s genius; but this genius was so poorly recognized by some of the daily Journals of New York that Mr. Shearman determined upon a terrible revenge, and so wit! hela from all papers not partizan xii knowledge of the great scheme be had on hand to bring the uniortunate Loader before Justice Riley. Accord logiy, the news was farniahed, both coples being almoet precisely alike, to just the twojournals that never allowed anything imimical to the defendant to appear in their colamns, Over tna the subor- Gimate counsel of the defendant made great re. joicing, and Mr. Shearman congratulated himself on achieving an unprecedented feat, Loader was arrested three hours after Judge Riley received tie affidavit. As will be seen by an interview with the Judge, the preceeding of holding court within half an*hour of midnight to hear a charge of tnis character was most uncommon; bus tneu every- thing about the Beecher case has been uucom- mno, THE JUDGE'S CHARGE ‘was held by many of the large crowd of gossipers in and about the eourt room as responeibie ior the great délay the jury have exhibited in reaching @ conclusion. It was a charge that, in point of | entire coloriessuess, was never excelled. Chief Justice Neilson aimed to satisfy all parties, and he failed, The Beeeher partisans were dissatisfied Decaase it did not press harder aguinst Tiiton, while Tilton’s supporters, convinced of the right eousness of their cause and of the guilt of Beech- | Were mortified that Mis Honor should ignore or | i not give suMicient color to what they deemed Magrant proof of the defendant's guilt, Certain tt tg the Judge’s charge is without prejudice, though it ts generally thought few will ever make refer- | ence to it in the future as a precedent or authority that jurnishes any guide 4 to What deflaiie views sudge Netison held on a single phase of the trial, Yesterday was A GREAT DAY FOR GOSSIP all over the Brooklyn Cocrt House, Thore was the Jury still deliberating sad still provoking eadless | speculation aa to their probable verdict, while the | arrest of Loader and the deposition of Price that | his original statement regarding Mrs. Tiiton aud | Mr. Beecher was @ falsehood gave abundant food for conversation to the idie muititade, News from Judge Riley's Court was eagerly awaited by the people who loitered avout the rooms and corridors of the Cont House. All | Kinds of reports were pat im circulation. The origina! affidavits made by Loader and Price ‘were said to be destroyed. Ex-Judge Morris and | General Pryor were reported as having deserted | Loader in open court, to have relinautshed the intention of defending bim and thrown up bis case in disgust. Loader was said to have made a con- fession and placea it im the hands of Mr. Shear- | man, the substance of his statement being tuat the aMidavit reputed to be hiv was of anosher Man's composition, and that all he ever saw ofan | proper character at Mr. Tilton’s house was Mr. | Beecher and Mrs, Tilton knecllue in prayer to- | gether, Ex-Judge Merris, it was alleged, @ ivea Mr. Beach as to the nature of the allidavits, aud | the latter was placed in the faise position of rep- | resenting to Judge Neilson that tae documents sent upto nim were the original sworn staic- ments of Loader and Price. These statements When examined were found to be copies, and farther search resaitea in not being able to di cover aMdavits bearing the signatures of the men ‘who were said to have made them. There were handred ramors ail at once fying about amoug | the animated throng of gossipers regarding this latest phase Im the scandal. HINTS ABOUT PRIBERY were quite common. Price, it was allered, was aporoached by agenta of the defeadant and in- duced for a pecuniary consideration to recant nis original declaration, while the “eonfession” of Loader was put down os a result aciributable to the same cause, At Jnage Riley's Court, in the vicinity of Myrule avenne and Adelphi street, the attendance in the morning was very numerous, & general curiosity extsving to get a jook at the two men who have become so prominent as the | Possessors of the Dewest and latest testimony re- garding the great scandal. Ali of these romors are considered in their proper piace. i ABOUT THE JURY. When the nows was known that the jury abont One o’clock had sent to Judge Netison for the evi | @ence of Moulton and Beecher there was a wide- | spread feeling among the newspaper and legal fraternity that the end of the trial was by no means as Dear at Land a4 the anuclpations of the Morping indicated. Bat when the fact was com- | Municated that the Judge complied with the Jury’s request, and sent them not gione the testi- mony applied for, bot ail the cause con- tained, it was deemed hopeless to expect any conclusion before at jcass the 4th of July. Then, again, those who felt sanguine of the jary’s retarning Onaily to court some time yes terday urged that the objcet.of senctng for Moml- ton’s and Beecher's evidence was simply to reach ® clearer idea respecting the letter of contrition and the events immediately proceeding and fol- lowing the writing of that papers On this vital Doins of the testimony it was beid \the jury hang. People pretending to Know the senthnuents of this | Jaryman and that contended that “\he apology” | Wan the pivotal point im the case, thmt several of the jurors partial te the Plymouth paatar lasistea om the theory of the ietter being an havention, and that the genius of Theodore Tiitom. supplied the vivid aud striking sentences that made the | document so remarkable; while, om the otuer band, it was claimed that jurors not vlad in Deuall of the defonaant wore of the opinion ytbat “1a6 apology” contained language and admisaions ‘that never could have veen used by any man m0 | did not feel the canscionsuess of being guilty uot Ro lees a crime than adultery, Though the throng about the Court House was NOt As large as on other days, it was mach more emimaced and interested. This was owing to THR BAGER EXPXCTATION Ip the morning of an early return of the Jury and the curious circumstances regarding Loader | t and Price. The court room, to the ey: those who have frequented it during the Be trial, Wore aaag and desolate appearance. The gallery was emity. Tio Jndee ast al nok | in all circles that @ disagreement ww Inevivabie. court Koom wh evon bis faithful clerk being beside him. The body of the chamber was occupied by @ thin, Straggling audience, and the vast newspaper host Was represented by only ® few weary scribes. ‘The reporters’ room, on the first floor, was made a lounging place for the many representatives of the morning jéurnals, who awaited with the patieuce of martyrs news from the jury, They passed the time reading, smoking and chatung, while from tnetr windows they coula observe another set of people, Whose concern was mere curiosity, Ungering long in tne evening around the grassy lawn op the east side of the Court House. HUMOR OF THR JURY, When the jury were brought their lunch they- were in excellent humor, They had just a lite time previously received the whole body of testi- mony in the case from Judge Neilson and one of them was heard to ex¢laim, “That’s the way to do it. Now we have ail we want and we can go to work and finish up quick,” Others of the jury comcided in tais sentiment, and the last rellabie report obrained of their movements after this in- cident had been noted was a general coming together of the Jurymen around the tabie in the middie of the room for the evident parpose of ox- amining and deciding certain points of evidence upon which they Were not quite ciear. It was about this time Mrs, Beecher appeared tn. her carriage at teat side of the Court House facing the windows of the jurymen, Sbe recitnea calmly back on the cushioned seat, occasionally reading & small book, but more often glancing about her at the passing people or at the Court House wia- dows. SOENES IN COURT, There was the usual rash atten o'clock yes'er- | day morning to ir What conclusion, if any, the jury had come to, and 1t was generally believed that, exhausted and Worn ont, despite the com- forts by which that body was surrounded, some defnite result would be announced, Accordingiy the crowa tn waliing made rapid strides toward the court room, and with attentive ear devoured every passing word let fall by those having even the remotest connection with the case. Happily the weather was auspicious for such a gathering, and in marked and agreeable contrast to the sur- roundings of many days preceding, the atmos- phere being comparatively Goul and pleasant. A gentie breeze fanned the brows of anxious spe tators, and altogether the much wisned jor a: houncement was awaited with considerable patience, JUDGE NELSON arrived with characteristic promptness and soon ascertained the condition of affuirs—fo wit, that the jury had not agreed and were stll"engaged in discussion, This did not at allseem to displease the Chief Justice, and without much ado he pro- ceeded with the regular business of the Court with an expression of face as much as to say, “Weil, lf the Jary can etand is I think I can.” The case which attracted His Bonor’saitention at this stage was thas of a man who had taken an action against ® railroad car company to re- cover damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained through the negiizence of the defend. | ant, Without going into the merits of the litiga- ‘lon tt was pretty clear that the points at tssue would never have attracted such a large audience were it not for the fact that the presence of the jury in the great scandal case was momentarily expected. A ‘eeling of indifference has evidently supplied the place of that excitement wich has prevailed for the past four or five days. Had the jury re- turned to court—no matter what conclusion they might have come to—within twenty-four hours after their retirement, their presence would have been witnessed with awe. Now no sucn scene ean occar. The pubilv cannot be startled by any announcement at this stage. Prepared for a dis- agreement, they wili not be surprised even should the defendant get a verdict. “What's the | matter with them f” was jast as common an ex- | pression yesterday as “Cool weather to-day— agreeable change.” But what seemed to puzzie the wiseacres most was the fact that, despite ail the efforts to pry into tne secrets of the jury room; despite the wistiui, longing gaze of @ gaping crowd; despite, indeed, tne magnetic influence and power of “tho Beecher glass wat was at Fors Sumter,” nothme definite | could be learned from that secluded apartment. True, this juryman was seeu to smoke, another to pick bis (eeth, another to look depressed and somebody else to behave like a Man about to make bis will; but these interesting observations utierly fatied to throw any light on the situation. Everybody was just about as wise as on the day when the twelve good men retired to look each vutner in toe face. THE LAWYERS Were about in good seasen, Something A OC curred to keep them from running to seed, and 1 need scarcely ve added taat having for five long days exhausted every topic of conversation, from the ele at Bunker Hill to the international rifle match, anything new was hailed with delight. The Loader-i’rice bustness, thereiore, came in just at the right moment, No mam knows in the morn- ing what the day may bring forth, and the most bumbie individual may retire at night the en- grossing topié of universal admiration, or the re- verse, ‘The loungers Iu the vicimity of the court ; Toom were full of Loader and Price, to the utter exclusion of everything else, and speculation bad tree Qing on every hand. ANOTHER COMMUNICATION, Shortly before twelve o'clock there was & stam- pede jor about the twentieth time, the rumor having end breakfasted, wera coming down to let the poblic know what they thought about the Tiitoa- Deecher scandal, Shearman, by his spasmodic action, gave the Impression that there was some- thing up a8 he sped along the corridor in doubie quick time, A communication had come from tae Jury tothe effect that they still wanted to see some papers, espectaliy the evidence of Mr Beecher and Mr, Moulton.

The good Judge kindly intimated that mat- ters should be taken with requisite coolness, and asked the counsel to settie the matter in regard 1o the papers which the jury desirea to see as cheer/ully and as pleasantly as possible, Mr. Pryor, it was understood, suggested the | propriety of letting the jury see ali the testimony, bot the Cours did not recognize the necessity of that, considering that the jury reqnested to read only certain portions of it At all events, she Matter was satisfactorily arranged, and fnaily, with general consent, all the evidence was seat to the jury.

Price, were to be ar. ‘valgned before the Third District Court yesterday forenoon had the effet of attracting to thas place marly interested parti About ten o'clock Cap- ain Crafts, of the Fovrth precinet, entered the Justice.

Waen Justice Riley took the bench, shortly alter ten o'clock, ex-Judge Samuel D. Morris and General Th . Pryor entered, The Judge asked Loader re Was any Oue present to defend bim upon the charge? Loader replied ‘Yes, sit, L belleve Mr. Morris will defend mo, Judge.” “{ don’t think he will,” said Justice Riley; “you will have 10 muke some other arrangements, I ary - Loader became deathly pale at this announce- ment, and tears ran unvidden to bis eyes, Mr. Morris calied Loader aside, and entering a side room they held # brief cousultation, at tae expiration of which Loader resumed bis seat in the court, and Mr. Morris and General Pryor retired to the sidewalk in front of tne court. Here they were joined by Counsellor Chapin and ‘Thomas H. arsall, A iew moments later Geueral B, F. Tracy alighted from @ Myrtie avenue uring hid antagonists, entered into a couversation with trem upon the mode of pro- ceuure best to be adopted in tho present phase or turn in the tide of afairs. Justice Riley was asked by A reporter whether the prisoner, jer, Was to be defended by Mor- ris and Pryor, and he replied taat they bad both deseried him. At twenty miputes after eleven Mr. Pearsall held a brief whispered codoqguy with the Justice, d then came General Tracy, who went on tho bencu and looked waldy aud auxiously around ‘the room, wanaae Riley called the case of “The People vs. ader,?
