from the N. 7. SUM-

Mr.. Moulton said to friend last week
that the extent to which Mr.. Beecher had
gone in his denials is great surprise to
him. Meulton expected that Beecher
would deny the grave allegations, but
was not 1t all prepared to hear him
knock in. the head interviews which
have been sworn to. Mr.. Tilton yester-
day said to 4 gentleman: IF Mr.. Beech.
er continues his denials to the end Of the
testimony he will have sworn to chain
Of one hundred distinct perjuries.
Mr.. Beach expresses indignation at the
rumor that he is to withdraw from tho
case. IF it takes until December" he
said on Saturday, 81 shall not leave the
case, and you may depend upon it that 1
shall not leave it until it Closes" Mr..
Beecher's friends have specialized very
largely upon the probability Of Mr.:
Beach being tired out by the length of
the case. His final speec,, to the jury 10
dreaded, and it is conceded that Tilton
could not carry his case to any credita-
bic end without his senior counsel's assis-
lance.
A Brooklyn lady called on Mr.. Beach
in his New York office a week ago and
said that she had called to ask him whether
he could not have business enough in
New York to keep him away from Book
Ign, saying that she felt able to say that
he would be greatly enriched by the move.
She was known to Mr.. Beach to be Of
good social position, and she made her
errand known so politely that in describ-
ing the incident to friend, Mr.. Beach
said that he was forced to be very cautious
in his indignation, and to make her feel
as keenly as he could that she offered him
the only professional insult that he had
ever received. She spoke Of Mr.. Beecher's
greatness and goodness, he said, and while
neither avowing or disavowing that her
errand was prompted by him or his law
yers, or MIR. Shearman, his manipulating
attorney, she expressed an honest wish to
strip the plaintiff Of his senior counsel.
The name of the lady is known to Mr..
Tilton's lawyers, but it could not be OBJ
tanned for publication.
Although Mr.. Beecher has proved in
his testimony almost conclusive abb
on the I'd of June, the date Mrs. Moul-
ton fixed for her interview with him
when he was threatening suicide. Mr..
Tilton clings to the date, or same day not
al VIC e'euAuSs Wuou 4Ts OeeC0er wa
with Mrs. Moulton. A lady living in
Montague street, Brooklyn, the daughter
Of New York Judge and the wife of =
Front street business man, is on tho list
Of rebuttihg witnesses, and she has told
MIR. Tilton's counsel that on the day Of
tho interview she met Mr.. Bsechef On
Mrs. Moulton's steps, and that he hur.
ried past her with his hat drawn down
close over his eyes. She found Mrs.
Moulton in her room on the second hooe
very much excited and ill at ease, and
Mrs. Moulton said that NJ. Beecher had
threatened to commit suicide, and she be-
lieved that he would. Mrs. Moulton told
her all of the conversation and went out
of the house with her to 60 to sec her
uncle, the Hon. Jeremiah P. Robinson, to
ask his advice. One of Mr.. Bcecher's
lawyers said last night: ''Say it is our
disposition to close this case Just rs soon
as we can. We arc anxious to 20 to tho
Jury and g i've them an opportunity to
clear Mr.. Beecher.''
