How DID They FIND IT Our ?-One OF the
oldest things in connection with the outside
talk about the Beecher trial is the confident
assurance now given by all the svowed advo-
Gates of Mr.. Beecher that the jury intend to
give verdict for the defendant. How have
they found that out? Great boasts are made
of holding meeting at the Academy Of Music
in Brooklyn to celebrate the "acquittal Of
Mr.. Beecher, while in New York no building
smaller than the Hippodrome will answer the
purpose. There is to be a great testimonial
to Mr. Beecher, including q set Of his rilton
letters. printed on veiium. All this is very
we'll, but what we should like to get at il, how
does it happen that one side in the case is SO
sure of tue verdict, and how was the unanim-
ity of the jury SO satisfactorily secured?-N
