this morning tho following paragraph
1.-THE evidence of Joseph M. Pearsall in
the Loeder case, reported in full elsewhere,
seriously duplicates Francis D. Moulton in
the manufacture of the false affidavits OF
Price and Locder." A judicial examina-
ton of the origin of the Price-Loeder afli-
davits, and of my connection with them is
exactly the thing desire. Accordingly l
have returned to meet the menace of Mr..
Beechers minions, and | hereby challenge
and defy them to institute their proceed
ings. FRANCIS d. MoULroN.
THE JURY SHAKING HANDS.
AS the jury left the room after being dis
charged, Messrs. Taylor, Carpenter Hull
and others shook hands with Mrs. Beecher
and Thomas G.. Sherman. Mr. Carpenter
has just stated that the jurors have firmly
resolved to say nothing about what oc-
Cured while they were locked out
THE SECRETS OF THE JURY RooM-How
THEY STOOD.
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
jurors stated they had taken solemn oath
never to reveal the secrets Of the jury
room, the following has been ascertained
by intcrviewers. One juror said: eve
stand to-day precisely as we did when we
went up stairs into the jury-room to delb-
crate eight days ago" Another juror
stated that at one time the jury stood
eleven to one against Tilton, nine to three,
and still later five to seven. There was an
rreconcilable difference of opinion as to
the credibiity of witnesses on each side
Juryman Hull SAID that at times the dis
cussions were very animated. When the
jury retired week ago there was a small
majority for defendant, but after evidence.
was received from Judge Nelson the re-
suit was to throw the benefit of certain
doubt in favor of defendant. Still another
juror said that at one time the tide in favor
of Tilton was pretty low; it was even less
than three; at another the jurors stood six
to six. A Union reporter learned from
semi-authoritative source that when the
jury retired they stood seven to five, seven
for Beecher, four tor Tilton and one doubt
full, though leaning to Tilton. This
doubtful man subsequently came over to
Tilton's side, and on the second ballot the
jury stood eight to four-eight for Beecher
and four for Tilton. When the evidence
was requested and sent up TO the jury, one
OF the four, after its examination, went
over to Bcecher's side on the final ballot
they stood nine to threc-ninc for Beechcr
and three for Tilton.
The Brooklyn Eagle obtained the follow
ing from one of the jurors Saturday morn
ing A few of the Beecher men who had
been using gigantic efforts to coHyert jeff
rey, Davis and Flate to their side, had so
far succeeded that these gentlemen at last
consented to bring in a verdict for Beocher.
Had the jury then been summoned to the
court room Mr.. Beecher would have gone
forth with the declaration of his innocence
by twelve men sworn to decide on the
charges against him by evidences submitted
and allowed by the court during the trial.
Some were in favor of going into court at
once, but, unfortunately for Mr.. Beecher,
it was determined they should delay their
return to the court room until o'clock
that evening, when they would hand to the
presiding judge their sealed verdict. AT
this important momentone of Beecher's
men made an indiscreet remark which
though in no way effectlng the evidence in
the case, occasioncd flutter OF undue ex-
element, and had the effect of alternating a
minority from majority. Thus the work
of many hours of tedious and conscientious
argument was cheated of its result and
gloom thrown over the future deliberations
of the jury which could not be dispelled.
Persistent efforts were made to counteract
the result of the indiscretion, but minor
ity consisting of jeffrey, Flate and Davis
retiring to the ground which they had COM
pacted to abandon, emphatically declined
to hold any further argument on the case.
| They were determined to stand by Tilton.
On Sunday there was no balloting, as many
of the jurYmen had religious scruples, and
declined to do 80. The ballot, however,
Monday, showed they had returned TO lii
tons side, as the vote stood nine for Beech
err and three for Tilton, and from this
count there was no variation. When
they were discharged they stood in
the same relation TO the case.
Lawyer Shearman said to-day that counsel
for the defence had been visited several
times by friend of one man on the jury,
who intimated that his verdict could be
purchased. Sherman declined to state
whether they would move for a new trial.
A prevalent rumor is that the plaintiffs
counsel will move for new trial immedi-
ately by placing the case on the October
calendar, and that as soon as it is called a
motion will be made for change of venue.
TILToN's JURORS.
1t IS generally conceded that Tilton's jur.
ors were ,,Messrs. Jetfery, Davis and Flate.
