did not make it there with q view ofhav-
| ing the inference drawn, that pistol bad
anything to do with the return Of the
paper. A-So far as l can recollect l
did not
Odd you intend at that time or sup.
pose that such an inference as that would
be drawn2 Al do not remember that
l did.
Q-Why did you deem it necessary
then, to introduce that pistol scene into
notice? AIN order that | might give
as nearly as l could the picture that
arose to my memory.
Q-I understood you to say that the
pistol was not exhibited at all, even the
. hilt of it, until after you had agreed to
give up the papers-hsd got it out from
your private drawer or desk or wherever
it was and WAS returning to hand it to
him2 A--That's my impression now; as
] stated before, am not positive that |
have got the order just right.
Q-That was on Saturday night il l
recollcct right, Mr.. Beecher? A-Sat-
urday night.
Q-Was there any agreement that
YOU should see Moulton on the following
day? Al think there was.
Q-Who suggested? Al do not
know.
Q-Well, what object had you in go
ing to meet him next day? Al say
don't recollect | only know that the
next day l was expecting him, so there
must have been some arrangements made
before.
Dwell you would not have expected
him unless some arrangements were
made? A-No sir.
Q-You don't know what object was to
be accomplished? A-No, l don't re-
collect.
Q-You don't recollect what was to be
said or what was to be done? A-No,
sir.
O Now, what was TO be discovered2
A-There was no programme laid out,
and no plan suggested that | recollect of.
Q-Was the hour fixed for the meet
ing of the next day2 Al recollect of
him that it was the afternoon. That is
the nearest can come to it.
Dwell. don't you think an hour had
been appointed in the afternoon? Al
presume there had been, perhaps no
particular hour, but after noon and IN
the afternoon.
Q-It was on Sunday? A-Yes.
Q-I was not connected with any reli-
gious exercise? A-No sir; we had no
prayer or hymn nor anything of the
kind, it was entirely friendly confer
eacc.
Q-DO YOU usually hold friendly confer
ences on Sunday afternoon? A-Oh, no
sir, very seldom hold such friendly con-
ferences on any day,
Q-The reason | ask you that is TO
know whether the object of the meeting
so rs to tell us what it was? A-No,
don't think | did, Sunday afternoon was
my usual time for rest; was engaged
in the morning, and it would come natur-
al that the appointment would be in the
afternoon.
Q-Was it not agreed between you
and Moulton on the night of the 3lst,
when you reported that he should call
upon you the following Sunday after
noon, to report to you how Tilton receiv-
cd the return Of that retraction? A
Very likely; but 1 have no remembrance
of it whatever.
Q-Have you any impression upon the
subjcct2 None except that which springs
from reasoning
Q-Where did your interview take
place? Ain the study third story
back room.
The witness here described the inter
view substantially as in the direct testi-
mony. The examination was continued
rs follows:
Q-WelI you felt greved that day at
something you had done toward Tilton?
Al should think | did.

Mr.. Fullerton read the letter which
was to Moulton from Mrs. Tilton, asking
him to obtain the letter of confession and
retraction for her, rs they ought to be
destroyed.
Witness continued-I don't remember
that promised to show this letter of re-
traction to Tilton; she told me she was
wearicd with opportunities, but | did not
know what to think of these charges;
before writing the letter, she admitted
the charges were not true. The witness
was here asked if he believed then, that
Mrs. Tlton had an undue affection for
him, and replied: was in Il state of
perplexity, and not of any belief; fuc

band these charges. and again | was un-

The Great Coal Strike-ResOlutIOn Of
SYmDRthy.

INDIANAPOLIS, April l4.-Touching
the great coal strike in Pennsylvania, the
Industrial Congress Of the United States,
now in session in this city, unanimously y
passed the following this afternoon:
WHEREAS, The men ofa large portion
of the anthracite coal mines Of Pennsyl-
vania, now are, and for more than
three months past, have been locked-out
by six monstrous coal mining and carry
ing corporations, because unwilling to
accept a reduction of 30 to 40 per cent of
their wages, tor which reduction there Is
no real Justification; and
WHEREAS. The said combination or
conspiracy of railroad and coal compan-
les is impelled to the attempt to thus
pauperize their employees by the fact that,
to make themselves monopolies, they
have borrowed and invested many mill
lions of British capital, and for which
they are pledged to pay rates of interest
which are excessive, Onerous and op-
pressive; and
WHEREAS. The effect of the success of
their schemes will be practical repeti-
tion OF ,the. etfectscof what is known in
history as the Irish ab5enteeism; and
WHEREAS, A contest of this kind Is OF
infinitely more serious moment to the
working people severally, than are ordl-
nary strikes to trade difficulties; there
fore
ReSoired That the representatives OF
the industrial classes in session assem-
bled, hereby tender their heartfelt: sympa-
thies to the miners now locked out, and
earnestly request all organized bodies OF
working men throughout the country to
forward to the Treasurer ofthis Congress,
us generous financial assistance as their
circumstances will permit. Such funds
to be applied to the relief Of the victims
OF this foul conspiracy.
