night; never remained i'm her house till the
small hours; | went through the house on
one occasion with her and found that all the
rooms were bare except the room she Occu-
pied with her husband; this was shortly after
my acquaintance with her; on the lower floor
only the parCr was furnished; she told me

MI. EYaTtS then read portions Of the
"TRUE STORY
and q 3SIed witness if he remembered the parts
read. The reply was generally that he did
not remember the phraSeOlogy, as it was so
long ago, but he was OF the opinion that in
substance his statement was the same as
given by the counsel. Mr.. EvartS real an
the witness, in which the former stated that
The latter should demand Beechers retire
ment from Plymouth pulpit and the editor

that lac remembered something like this, aud

for Beecher's retirement in his {" true story"
One PORTION OF the statement read contained

TO a friend after the Woodruff publication,
declaring that the words put into her mouth
by Mrs. Woodruff were all false.

She then continues: Il decided befOr the

with its progress. II Mr.. TiltOn thinks that
with the rendering of the verdict. this case
Will be concluded he will learn his error pos
SlbIy too late To avert the doom that he is in

and more important part of this case will be
undecided when the trial shall have closed.
1T Is III the verdict that shall follow the one

when compared with the infinite future. He
may struggle now to make the shadows he
has cast upon my name and fame heavier
and darker; but when he shall stand unvailcd
as stand he shall, he will blush as deeply for
his present efforts as he now pretendS TO for
what has passed. After this trial is closed, |

in de all, about all that has occurred since
