MRS. TILTON NOT TO TESTIFY

The public welcomes Saturday and Sunday a.
breathing days in the great theological and seen.
lar scandal across the river.
Yesterday, according to one rumor, Mr. Beecher
was blanketed and being walked to and fro by Mr..
Evarts IN training for his great match Of testt-
mony handicapped by Judge Fullerton and led by
American Girl. Others say tnat he will not testify
Tor week or fortnight. One of the counsel for
the defence questioned last Thursday as to the
duration OF the trial. He replied:--
al suppose all the evidence for our side and the
plaintiffs rebuttaI will take month, but we shall
not consume month with our Witnesses"
On this theory the defence ought to have Mr..
Beecher on the stand this week. as the rebutting
evidence Will take at least fortnight, and there
are yet to testify for Mr.. Beecher witnesses to re-
but Kate Carey and others to impeach Frank
Mouton. Kate Carey will be attacked on all sides,
and 1t Is said that she may save the defence this
trouble by coming forward 70 modify her testl-
mony The latter Is claimed to be very probable.
Meantime, the plaintiff has lot OF new witnesses.
He means to impeacn the credibilty and general
character of Assistant Pastor Halliday, oil Bessie
Turner ana oil Thomas Cooke. and to show that all
this batch OF witnesses have been drilled and Kept
in conference and paid money and sup
ported on promises. Evidence Is also to be
offered that Therese Burke was spirited
out OF Brooklyn and out OF the juris-
diction OF this State. Mr.. Carpenter Is to be
sworn. Mr.. West and others are TO be recalled,
ana the course of the defence Is to be offered to
snow that witnesses were natcered entreated ana
persuaded on various pretexts to come to Inc
court room and impeach the plaintiff Proceeding
ut the rate OF four hours day, how can this evil.

The witness COOKE, the newspaper interviewer,
VINO remains here TO give further testimony al.
fecting the preparation OF the West charges. says
Mr.. Beecher's witnesses and himself Will require
at least Six weeks more lie SAID
THE PLANS THE DEFENCE
''The defence propose to attack Tilton on every
size OF his character and make him odious Ia the
community and country. Alter that is Iully done
they propose 70 take up Moulton and destroy him,
root ana branch, 10 like manner. Then they win
snow Mrs. MOuton's dependence upon those two
and leave her without support, 50 that her evl.
dence Will fail to the ground between; They mad
proposed to impeacn her crediblty Also but MI.
Bcecher would not nave her attacked cruelty"
