After Mr. Fullerton pleasantly remarked "That
gives me an appetite Tor my dinner" the Court
took their usual recess.
AT RECESS.
The sun shone bright on the slush at recess, and
there was large gathering OF people around Mr..
Beecher to shake hands and jest with OvingLOn
and the lawyers. MIR. Beach almost invariably
talks to Mr.. Beecher minute or two at the recess
and Fullerton and Evarts exchange jests. Mrs.
OvingtOn, q thick SET stout person, with dark
eyes and small features in round head. rallied
her husband slightly. Mrs. Beecher put on her
black shawl, figured red, and took her husbands
arm uneastly. She appears to have lost nesh and
color during the progress Of the case.
THE JURY
had been particularly noticed all day by specta-
tors the present state OF the trial their bias,
If any exists Is OF the highest significance.
The small-eyed. bIrd-ieatured, Ben. Buter-llke
foreman (he looks like penitent and converted
Buter), as usual, was cooked back in his chair
with the deepest interest. his head flying from
the examining lawyer to the witness lace, putting
in every second OF time most righteously to the
evidence, as II ne might at any moment see some
thing Important.
The handsome young fellow, Jefrers who sits
behind the foreman, snaps his large black eyes at
born witness and lawyer. and appears to have
doubts about all OF them. He gets his knee
on the back OF the char before him, lays
his hand and seal ring on his knee,
cbews away at something (perhaps 'solace').
bites his finger nails and snaps his eyes
all at the same time. The Sphinx has candid
countenance compared to the unsatisfactory study
OF this otherwise agreeable lace. 1t has once or
twice smiled at Fuilerton's Irish twinkle OF humor,
but ''eyes right" is the order in minute, and then
he looks Immediately at the witness as II to say,
you're scOundre," ana at the lawyer as II say
ing, .You don't barney me-"
Beside Jeners sits the middle-aged, tranquil.
uninspired Mr.. Taylor. he appears to be plunged
into series or deep reflections on the life and
suTerlngs OF Richard Baxter. He is never quite
asleep but he never smiles. He 10 said by those
who have made his acquaintance to be q sensible
considering, conscientious person.
Christopher Filter big and iond OF his forty
next MIN, and who watches closely and expresses
his emotions with some transparency, but he does
not appear 10 think much OF either side. Filter
seems to like to bear all the amiable and humor.
Gus testimony, and to be OF the opinion that this
trial Is very dry performance.
AFTER RECESS.
After recess, at q quarter past two O'Clock, Mr..
OvlpgtOn was further Cross-eXamined by Mr..
Fullerton. The witness said: IL 90 not RENE mber
that Mr.. Tllton SAID he charged Beecher with the
the Bacon letter Mr.. Beecher would have
to leave Brooklyn; Mr.. Titon SAID that
Mr.. beecher should do him justice.
q Did Mr.. Hilton say he was glad That his vile
had vlndicated herself before the comntteer A.
/ DO not remember that; the second interview, OF
which nave SPOKEN took place lew days after
the first one; 1t TOOK place at Tilton's house; l

Stay MIN.
q. DO you remember that you took Mrs. Tllton
OuL riding the DAY before she wen. TO your houses
A. l remember tnat qld not; did not take her
out riding three days before she went before the
committee; three Gays before she came to my
house permanently my WIFE took mrs. Tilton out
riding to Coney Island; do not know that she
was out most OF the day; had no intmation that
she WAS coming to the house TO stay until she
came heard my vile invite her; do not thin
that 1 invited ner; what 1 knew OF Mrs.
TiltOn coming to my house j heard
from my vile; the first heard OF her coming was
TWO or three Gays before she did come; from what
my wife told me | came to the conclusion that
possibly Mrs. Triton might come; | think once
before that sne was at my mouse then think my
vile called upon her to bring her there previous
TO her coming TO stay; DO not, OF my own knowl-
edge, know where my vile found her 10 bring her
to our house; 1 think had been but once at Mr..
Tiltons house before the pubiicd ZION OF the Bacon
letter; II was an unusual thing for me to 60 to
Mr.. 1ilton's house.
Q. | want to asa you II some person other than
your wife did not speak to you ABOUT Mrs. TlltOn
coming to your house before she did come 7 A.
No, SIR recollect the morning she came to our
house; DO not recollect that Mr. TitOn the mo- n
Ing he came there after Mrs. Tllton came read to
me IRON q newspaper the appointment OF the
church committee; Mr.. Tllton went before the
committee that night.
