OF juno 4, 1879. The last witness on this
part of the defense was Mr.. Henry l.. Hughes,
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
oDice In Brooklyn, who testified that he had found
MI Beecbers telegram three weeks ago in the pack
age OF dispatches sent June l. 1873 He had written
the date upon it and sure that it belonged with
the dispatches of the day before. The fact that
there was no cross-examination of these last wit
nesses seemed to indicate that the plaintiffs
counsel had found the evidence that Mr. Beecher
did go to Peeksill ON the afternoon of June g. too
strong to be shaken. 1t is important now for the
defense to show on this point, that Mr.. Beecher
was not at Mr.. Moultons house on the morning of
that day, and to do this they will have to account
for three or four hours more Of that day.
Stephen V. White member of the Investigation
Committee appointed by Mr. Beecher. was called to
corroborate the testimony given by Mr.. Winslow
about Mr.. Tilt0ns statements before the Committee.
His account was substantially like Mr.. Winslow's,
butln one respect Ii deredat least in the witnesses
own estimation. Gen. Tracy asked him, "Was any
thing said by Mr.. Tilton about verbal confessions
to him by Mr.. Beecheri" "Well, think they were
recognized" answered the witness to the surprise
of Mr.. Tracy. On further questions being asked,
the witness explained that he had understood that
Mr.. Tilton had alluded to verbal confessions when
he bad declared that Mr.. Beecher had asked him
(l1ltonl to give him an opportunity to leave
the country in case the facts published.
Gen, Tracy insisted that this referred to the publ
cation of the documentary evidence alone, but the
witness replied that that matter of personal
opinion. Mr.. White also gave an account of the
quarrel between Mr. Tilton and Gen. Tracy over the
latters conduct in taking part in the case and test
fled that the disputants had finally reached an ami
cable understanding on the matter.
The twelfth and last witness of tho day was II.
b. Clatlin, who took the stand short time before
the adjournment. He was suffering from a very
severe cold, which prevented him from raising his
voice above whisper. Mr.. Sherman repeated
aloud Mr. Clatiin's answers to Gen. Tracy's ques-
TONS and the examination proceeded slowly. The
witness began with an account of the discussion of
the tripartite covenant made at the interview be-
tween Messrs. Tilton, Moulton, Wilkeson, and the
witness, at Mr.. Moutons house.
