The BROOKLYN City court room was again
filed this morning and the audience incIud-
ed many ladies.
Mr.. Beach, at five minutes after eleven,
continued his address.
He referred to the West charges. in which
Mr. Tilton had been arrraigned ior SANDER
ing his pastor, and then, said the counsel,
followed the council of the church in which
Mr.. Tilton took no part, owing to the re-
quest of Beecher that he would not do so.
There was remarkable letter in this con-
neciion, written by Beecher to Moulton, in
March, 1874. In it Beecher says the course
of Dr. Storrs was an outrage; that the
professions Of friendship advanced by DR..
S,orrs were hollow, and that he was trying
to goad Tilton into attacking him Beech
er). This letter showed the jury the state
of mind Beecher was in. Why did he
dread the appearance of lilton before the
council? He was afraid Of any investigation
being made which would disclose the rela-
tons he held with the Tilton family. DIR.
Bacon had given birth TO all the epithets
used against Tilton in this trial he called
him knave and dog, and instead OF be-
ing this he was acting with generosity
towards Beecher, as the latter's letters will
| show. Could not Beecher have stated what
| he did before the church investigation
| committee, He Tilton was not n
knave and dog, and you DIR. Bacon, are
suffering from Misrepresentation" Ii he had
done 50 there would have been no Bacon
letter and no disturbance, and there would
| have been no appeal TO the public by Til
ton all these things arise from the cow
| arlice Of Beecher. We come now to the
| Bowen letter, which Tilton testified was in
stigated by the stories told him by Bowen,
\ who urged him to make the demand that
| Beecher should leave his pulpit and Brook
| lyn, and Bowen promised TO support his de-
| mand and carry the letter TO Beecher. Til
| ton was not aware OF the Investigating COM
mittee being appointed until told OF it by
his wife. Was it noble or Just measure to
| select this committee from the members Of
| the church? How hard were the labors OF
Beecher, Sherman and Tracy, in selecting
this committee? This. was a star-chamber
investigation, held with closed doors, and
Tilton's wife, enticed from home and taken
before them, duplicating her husband with
charges which, if proved to be true, rendered
him infamous. She was drawn away Alto
gether from her home. and was now relying
for her living on charities dispensed by Ply

admission he stamped the whole theory Of
conspiracy and blackmail Is an absurdity.
Imagine these two men engaging in a
conspiracy to extort money from Beecher,
and believing Beecher to be innocent, how

The news that the Court OF Appeals had
finally decided in favor OF Tweed, and or
dered his release from the penitentiary, cir
culated, to-day, through the city, with great
rapidity, and for the time took precedence
over the Beecher trial. Sheriff Conner has
