The Third District Courtroom, in
Brooklyn was crowded from an early
hour this morning with people anxious to
see the trial of Tilton for libel on Beecher
at the suit OF W. NJ. Gaynor. Tilton en-
tered the courtroom at o'clock, accom-
panied by his counsel, ex-Judge Morris.
Gaynor, with number OF friends, was
already there. After disposing of some
routine business, Gaynor was requested
by the Justice to step into the room in
which Mr.. Tilton was awaiting the call

complainant about whether this case was
brought by Mr.. Beecher through him,
and was answered that he took the case
entirely on his own responsibility

the representative of the people of this
