Nj. Fullerton here said that they desired to give
some correspondence In evidence TO show the re.
lations existing between Mr.. Tiiton anu MS vile.
and declared the direct examination closed. Some
squaDoling over the production OF the corresponds
duced and identified; Beacn and Fullerton desired
TO select lev letters from the mass, as the entire
would Ike TOO long 10 read.
The Judge decided for the defence.
Tne court then took recess until Two O'CLOCK.
Early IN the day. at quarter past twelve,
large bundle OF letters was produced by Mr. Beach.
These letters as 1t was understood, were the cele-
brated batch OF amattve domestic letters between
Tilton and his wife, which the latter had lett in
her trunks Tor the former to publish In proof Of
his good relations with his wife up to . certain
period, and that during this time Mr.. Tilton's
jealousy OF Mr.. Beecher was frank subject OF a.
fusion between man and wife. They were also
letters as It appeared. between Tilton ana
Beecher In happier days. Mr.. Beach was unwill.
ing that all the freshness OF these letters should
be appropriated for their uses by the counsel for
the defendant. The Court adjourned pending the
discussion OF how the letters were to be used.
In the sloppy. slusny day OF the hotelless church,
full city, the aud ience was turned out TO spend an
hour and half ct some adjacent restaurant.
where still the discussion was Beecher and TIlton,
or a. some outrageous chop house, watered BY
neophytes who hardly knew whether Beecher was
ney or plaintiff. The Tiny boys who ny around
these English resorts and hear the aren't dis
'cassions OF the hour are 10 be envied. A court
attendant relates that one OF them, nine-year
old, walked up to q dlspurant 1t recess one day,
when only one renamed, and said :--"Tlton's

Behold the juryman IN chop house He eats
and asks no questions. The eyes OF Delaware are
on him. Yet he must hear the gravity OF the duty
with which he is charged indirectly related on
every side. and feel that in winter OF unusual
deprivation and inclemency the great trial OF
Brooklyn has usurped as much attention as II the
occupation OF the country was not hunger, en-
ployment medicine and government, but those
lesser relations to mulritudes OF honor, equity,
reputation and society. As In q great mans
reign the theocratic King could be called to ac-
count BY his prophet for taking one poor mans
lamb SO the loss OF wife, willing or inevitable,
has laid the Republic by the ears.
lew years ago Mr. Tllton and Mr.. Beecher
were respectively the rival leaders OF two wings
Of woman's Suffrage leagues, capitalized in Brook
lyn and New YORK. The younger man was. OF
course. the more radical To-day. as they stand

another appears against hers, claiming the por.

selves return to tho small circle that embraces all
the race-the hearts choice sanctlned BY rite.
At recess the lawyers TOR Mr.. Triton were going
through the series Of letters which passed between
Theodore nlton and his vile and TIlton and
Beecher. Since the death OF the elder Mrs. Moul.
ton and the close OF Frank Moulton's testimony
the house OF the latter in Remsen street has NOT
been so devoted to hospitality for counsel Of tho
defence as formerly, but there IL no change Of re.
lations between Moulton aud Ti,ton, Moulton

he scarcely oozed In this trial. he knows very we'll
that Tracy and Sherman still hope TO get scalp
from his red head. that the former Is writing 1

The plaintiff Is vet to summon several important
witnesses-Frsnk Carpenter, Mrs. Moulton. per-
