The TiIton-Beecher Trial.
| TwENTY-sECoND DAY.-The testimony of
Theodore Elton was continued. 1t was devoted
mainly to an explanation of the witness re-
lations to the Woodruff, showing that his OBJ
ject in maintaining them was to protect Beech
Ell. The most revolving part of the whole case
was also touched, when the witness related the
points of an interview held between him and
Beecher for the purpose of determining the
parentage of little Ralph Tlton. 1t is not pos
sible to conceive anything more disgusting, yet
a number of ladies sat through it ALL and APP
peared to enjoy the recital.
TwENTY-TH1RD DAY-This was one of the
most interesting days of the trial. Tiltons ex-
animation was continued. The witness testi-
fed to his action regarding the Bacon letter,
and toward the Plymouth Church Investigating
Committee. A few of the letters which passed
between Mr.. Tilton and his wife before the al
legged commission of the crime were introduced
to influence the jury in the question of dam
ages. The cross examination then began, Mr..
Evarts conducting it, and by him the religious
views of the witness were drawn out and made
to compare with these of his wife and Mr..
Beecher.
TwENTY-FoURTH DAY.-Tiltons cross-exam-
nation, with Mr.. Evarts as interlocutor was
continued. He persisted in his account, given
in his direct testimony, of the occurrences in
volving Beecher in adultery, and the most
thorough cross-questioning failed to involve
him in any material contradictions. The whole
course of Tilton's vagaries, his political differ
ences with Beecher his championship of
woman's rights, his editorials in the I,odepe,ad-
emit, his letter to Horace Greeley, were run
over in rapid review.
TwENTY-FIFTH DAY.-Tilton still occupied the
witness stand, under the questioning of Mr..
Eyarts. A large part of the day was consumed
in reading the gushing correspondence of Theo-
dore and Elizabeth. Tilton testified that when
bis wife left his home she took only his love
and good will, and has it still. The publica-
ton of the correspondence between him and his
wife in the Chicago Tribune was done at the
suggestion of his counsel, Judge Morris, and
without his CIilton's) procurement.
TwENTY-sIXTH DAY-This days session was
interesting mainly on account of the contentious
between the counsel. There were some sharp
passages in which all the attorneys in the
case participated. The cross-exaninaticn of
Tilton by Evarts was continued, but nothing of
Importance was elected from the witness.
Much time was consumed in reading the CORE
spondence of Theodore and Elizabeth.
