for their language, whether we think OF
Mr.. Beecher wishing himself dead, or
Mrs. Tilton referring to her ''sin." 1t is
the bad management Of Mr.. Beecher's
protested friends which keeps alive the
public distrust. We expect to see an in
nocent man come out frankly. He is con.
scious of guilt who makes a labored sys-

advice Of counsel. Mr.. Beecher's legal
