The Scandal Trial.


Ga Friday Tilton testified that when his
wife frally left his house. she took nothing
with her, that he knew Of. except HIS love
and good will. which she still has. The
selection OF letters from his wife which had
been published was no. published by his
advice or procurement. but somewhat
against his will the Chicago Tribune OBJ
tanned them through the advice and at the
desire Of his counsel, ex-Judge MOTIFS tne
latter had the opportunity OF examining
all the letters left in his house the repre-
sentative of the Tribune saw only the seiec-
tons. and was not shown the original man
uscrip:s. Mr.. Tilton said that alter
Alr. Morris had read the letters, he
said TO the witness that some
of them ought to be published the
witness objected on the ground OF delicacy, !;
Mr.. Morris said that they ought to be made
public in justice to the plaintiff, but tha' II
would be in better taste to have them hrS'
published at some distant point; IN pursa-
ance of this suggestion. the selections were
given 10 an agent of the Chicago IrituHe'
then in Brooklyn. The consent OF Mrs.
Tllton, who was not then living with the
witness. was not obtained or asked Tor; inc
selections were copied from the oflglna'
manuscript by g stenographer
On the preceding day the proceedings
were eLlivened by the appearance OF the
versatile Eyarts in new role-that OF
reader of poetry. The Sun says;
Mr.. Eyarts brought out some amorou'
verses of Mr.. Tilton's, originally printed IL
the Golden AGE. and read them 10 the Jury
The spectacle of the grim, dignihed ole
LAWYER reading, with allthe feryor OF eIocu

with each verse more intense, until the ias
