eel. although he has not yet spoken
General Roger A. Pryor il from
the South. Although he earned I
vile reputation there, until his con,
nec,ion with this case he has made
no signal effort here. Upon The oc
casions in which ne hes taken an &C
tive part in the examination OF jur,
orr he has displayed great force sl
argument and oratory. When he be.
gins to speak his voice is velvet in
its softncss, and his hands have 1
plastic movement, as If he were fash.
ioaing his argument in the air, but
when excited his style approaches
that Of . campmeetin9 exho,ter. He
has . coppercolored, sharp featured
face, beardiess and full Of nervous
action. HIS straight black hair is
like that OF an Indian, and . hand
some Garibaldi cloak swings loosely
from his shoulders ~ he strides into
cosrt.
General B. F. Tracy, Of Mr.. Beech
ers counsel, has An iron gray beard.
cut short like tina, OF President Grant.
His face 10 serious, and whom he
smiles it is bad omen for his oppo.
ncnt. He is sarcastic rather than
witty. He sits next to Mr.. Evart.,
with whom he often advises. He is
still supposed to retain tho conf
dence Of Mr.. Beecher, notwi, hs, and.
ing his failure 10 advance his cause
in the Proctor Moulton suit.
Ex-Juige Samuel B. Morris is the
confident al friend and adviser of
Theodore T,lton. He is . short, > out,
pugnacious looking gentleman, with
wavy brown hair, slightly sprinkled
with gray. He argues earnestly .eve,,
impetuously, and with = s~inging
style of gesticulation. He and Mr..
Shearman-his vis-d ris across the
table-are the working men on their
respective sides. He 10 1t home ia
the Brooklyn courts, where he has
amassed wealth and reputation in
criminal practice.
Thomas G.. Shearman is . little
man with thin lips and cold, twink.
ling eyes. He has long. black, silky,
vel combed beard, which he fre.
qaen,ly str ,kes. When Mr.. Beecher
does not follow Mr.. Shearman into
court it is certain that he will MOI ap-
pear. Mr. Shesrman does not essay
to conduct the defence, but is con.
tent to play the scout TO the grand
army. His strength is not apparent
in his features or ply sique. He is
always rising with some new sugges.
tion or unexpected motion just It tho
critical moment. His voice 10 sharp
and has metallic ring.
Ex-Judge Morris partner, M.
PearsalI, has taken An active part in
the case. He is the youngest man
retained on either side. His ques-
tions in the examina ion Of jurors ex-
h'bited legal acumen aud extensive
local knowledge. Short, curly, browa
hair, quick eye, and nervous move
ments are his dis inyuished charact-
eristics. He is of medium size, but
is dwarfed by the con,igsity Of Mr..
Tilton, who sits Immediately behind
him.
John l. Hill,of Mr.. Beechor's coun-
sci, is short and stout, with . round,
bulging forehead. searching eyes and
puffed cheeks. He distinguished
himself in The examination Of jury
man Mackey, yesterday. His man
nersms are Of an exaggerated kind.
When badgering the unfortunate
juryman he would lower his head
and look savagely from under his
brows, or he would initiate his chest,
lay his head back, aud with cheeks
distended and eyes fixed upon the
poor man, would throw his index 6n-
ger at him whenever a clinching
question was pu.. His place At the
table is beside General Tracy. He
leans lazily back in his chair, and
While apparently asleep is intent Oh
what is occurring about him.
