So no! 1t seems that Mullett isn't the
only architect in the land liable to be pitched
into, and the Chicago custom house not the
only public building whose construction is
open To investigation. Frauds to a large
amount both In the quantity and quality of
Inc stone used In the new Philadelphia city
building are charged, and il would seem that
the commissioners, the architect and the con-
tractors are alike involved in the gigantic

The Brooklyn Trial.

MIR. BEECHERs TESTIMONY ABOUT fINI-nED-
Ross-EXAMINED TODAY.
Mr. Beecher's evidence was devoted mainly
to a DENIAL of Mrs. Moulton's version of the
conversation that took place in her paror on
the 3lst of May 1873. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Mouton enormously located this in-
eryiew on the 2nd OF June, 1873; and she also
testified to another interview winch sho said oc-
cnncd day or two afterwards. Mr.. Dcecbcr
h.a proven beyond the shadow OF donbt that
he was not at Moulton's house on tho day
named and that ie was out of tho city for tho
next fifteen days Tho interview that Mrs,
MouIton had in her mind occurred on the 3lst
of May, and her husband ,pdS present. This seems
to be controlling fact in the case, and one that
will nullify Mrs. Mouton's Testimony. Mr.
Beecher's explanation of the conversations that
took place on that day appear to be reasonable,
and entirely consistent with the theory on which
his defence rests, namely, that the sorrow that
hurdeucd his heart was occarioned by the remem.
brance of his unfortunate advice of Mrs. Iilton
and the reflection that he had been instrumental
N alternating her affections from hor husband,
although entirely innocent of any owl intention.
Mr.. Beeeher never heard that the charge OF
adultery was to be brought against him until
told by Mr. Iedpath, who went TO see him at
peekslll sometime after the publication of the
Bacon letter
