Marshall County Republican., 1875-02-04


The examination of Francis ID. Moulton in
the Tilton-Beecher trial was concluded ON
Wednesday. Jan. "a. For ten days he sub
mitted to the badgering of counsel for both
the prosecution and defense, and every art
known to adroit lawyers was employed to
induce him to contradict himself, but without
success He told a remarkably straight forward
story. and through all the cross-examination
stuck to it TO that scarcely the slightest conflict
can be detected in any cf his statements After
Moulton came Mrs. Bradshaw. Her testimony
amounted to little. and was soon delivered. She
testified TO the happy relations existing between
Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton previous to Beechers
alleged adultery with Mrs T. Mr.. West
member of Plymouth Church, was the next
witness. He stated that Beecher was very
wroth at him (West) because he insisted upon
the trial of Tilton for defaming the character of
the defendant. and related how the matter was
hushed up.
THERE was o ct diversion in the trial on
the 28th. The evidence of Dir. Woodruff,
Moulton's business partner, was admitted.
The famous interview at Gen. Tracy's Office.
in the course of which Tracy stified Moul-
ton in living for Beecher. was detailed minute
ly. The testimony throughout strongly con-
firmed Moulton's story. Theodore Tilton was
next called to the witness stand, but objection
to his testifying made By Beecher's coun-
sci on the ground that his wife was an inter-
ested party and according to law, he could not
testify against her. The day consumed in
argument on the question by the counsel.
NOTHING was done on the twentieth day of the
trial-Friday. Jan. 29-beyond the hearing Of

ness. Judge Nelson reserved his decision 10
