Ktw YORK, Jan. 22.-f there we're anything
which would be likely to diminish the number OF
epoctators attendant daily upon tho great Brook
i'm scandal suit, the disag1eeahle condition Of
tie xeather yesterday might have been expected
tobave had that result. Sloppy sidewalks and
dtizzlng rain-s:orm werc made matters Of minor
import With those who determined to witness tho
uosress Of tho trial The courtroom was
crowded as usual for q full half-hour before the
, opening Of proceedings. The corridor running
ty the door Of the room vas iammed with the
zane noisy crowd noticed upon previous days
40 RESPECT FOE GRAZ HAIRS.
One old man, ovor three-score- e-and-ten, mas
very much depressed in spirits because unable to
ottain admission. Taking by the band re-
porter who was about to enter the courtroom,
the old man said, with tears in his eyes, shat he
had come Ill the way from Elizabeth, y. j., to
see the trial, "and," he added, iii I don't get
in thar snd get one look 1t Il. IT, Beecher, my
Vie 6si1y will fret snd ecold dreadfu1ly."
He sIEEPs.
Tho examination today Eas rather tedious,
and tie oaly thing which re1iesed the dullncss
OF the proceeding VAS IN occasional wrangle
between COUNSEL. At times Mr. Decchet leaned
back il his chair with weary expression On his
rudy countennuce, and, from o'clock until 4.
he appeared to sleep soundly. Mrs Beacher
seemed tired too, and As for Moulton, he yawned
frequently, and moved about unensi1y in his
chair. Shortly after the recess, juror
left the courtroom for fer moments, and
TIE witness drew sigh Of relief. The air in
the loom Nas foul and heavy, and this may &C
count for the eleepy appearance OF the jurymcn.
