She Addresses the Court.
F. D. Moulton Recalled,
More Flat Contradictions.

New YORK, May l2.-At the opening
of the Brooklyn City Court to-day, MIR.
Evarts asked for q short delay, as he was
expecting some papers about which ne
wished to ask Mr.. TiltOn some questions,
and didn't desire TO put another witness
on the stand till he was disposed OF.
Seated on the bench with Judge Nelson
was Robert Mckenzie, of Dundee, Scot
land. In the interval of waiting the ar
rival of the papers, the time was spent,
by the lawyers, in consultation and e1-
aiming the testimony Of different wit
nesses, and by the audience in converse
tons. Shearman escorted Mrs. Wood
hull into court about half-past eleven
o'clock, and after taking his place said
that Mrs. Woodhull had refused to
produce certain letters of Ti'ton's unless
under instructions from the Court.
Ex-Judge Fullerton said he hoped the
Court would not So instruct her
Judge Nelson said he could not Sive
the witness any instructions.
Mr. Evarts said that the subpoena de-
manded the production of the papers in
the Court.
Fullerton argued that Mrs. Woodruff
was summoned here as a witness, and
not as a mere eXpressman, and counsel
here read the subpoena, commanding
Mrs. Woodruff to appear at the Court IN
person.
Judge Nelson again said he could
give no directions.
Evarts quoted from legal authority in
support Oft ground taken by him, but
the Court said that the witness would be
satisfied, according to the terms of the
subpoena, to come into Court and bring
the papers with her.
Fullerton argued that according to the
clause Of the subpoena, Mrs.
Woodruff was not compelled
10 deliver these papers to the counsel on
the other side.
Judge Nelson said lyon have no in
terest in It, Mr.. Fullerton" To which
the latter replied, but if Mr.. Evarts
places her on the stand as Il witness |
will have an interest in it.
After some further quotations from
legal authorities, the Judge said the pa

no personal objections.
Shcarman then called Mrs. Woodruff,
and had brief conversation with her.
After which she addressed the court and
stated that the letters were in no way
discredltable to her or the party who
wrote them, and that shc had
been in prison several times for publish
ing this scandal, and while there her Of
fees had been ransacked and papers taken
some of which were in the hands of the
defense and others with the prosecution.
With this explanation she said she was
content to deliver up the papers, which
she did, and they were examined by the
counsel. While the lawyers were exam
aniining the correspondence, Mrs. Wood
hull sat right in front Of Mrs. Beecher
Mr.. Evarts said they would not cross
examine TIlton for short time yet.
Judge Fullerton argued that Tilton
should b. called now.
Judge Nelson then decided that when
the other side called TIlton thcv should
also have Mrs. Woodruff in attendanbc
