FULLERTON DROPS OvINGToN.
Just at three O'Clock, after Fullerton had accu-
mulated leading questions upon Uvlngton until he
had extracted the important fact that 1915 had
already been put In his hands by Augustus Storrs
at whose house the Church Committee met, he
himself algning the report generating Mr..
Beecher. This money was TO be used Tor the cnil ;.
dren ostenstoly, but Tilton himself had paid the
school bills and Mis-. Tiiton had obtained some OF
this money herself.
The general effect OF the testimony OF Ovington
was regarded as less advantageous TO the side
which cited MIN than to the plalntir. This was
TO very great degree. owing to Judge Fullerton's
unequaliel cross-examining acumen and to the
points In his possession derived from Ttlton and
Judge Morris, both OF whom with Pryor. prompted
frequently.
Mr. Hill seemed DESTROYS to make a few points
the redirect and let Mr.. Ovington drop, as nj
good natured, rather obtuse method had been OF
less advantage to the defence than 1t might nave
been with o more magnetic relation between
counsel and man.

where he spoke OF Mr.. Tiltons companion ON tina,
occasion as being woman twenty seven years
old, and she SAID she had been reading "Par adise
Lost'' to Tilton, both being in deshabt1e. Judge
