Another Phase Of the Scandal.

THE TILT0N-BEECHER JURY.
| Another Phase Of the Scandal.
New York, June 90.
The upholsterer of affidavit fame, Joseph
Loeder, was arrested last night by officer
Shaughnessy of the third district court, on
complaint of Col. Beecher, for perjury.
Price appeared as a witness against him,
making an affidavit that he did not know
Loeder previous to 1879, and knew nothing
about Tilton's house until recently. He
said Loedcr told him that now would he
good time to make some money. Judge
| Morris appeared for Loeder and Tracy
and Hill for the complainant. Judge Riley
ordered both Loeder and Price to be locked
| up for examination.
MERE TALK.
Already some of the scandal talk is
about the probability of new trial. Judge
Morris said yesterday that his side was
ready to begin within an hour after the
discharge of the jury, using the testimony
of Loeder and Price. The documents pre-
sented by Tilton's counsel, in offer of the
testimony of Loeder, Price and Legs, were
copies of the original aflidavts. Yesterday
MIR. Sherman complained to Judge Neil
son that the originals had not been used,
and Judge Morris promised to produce
| them.
A REPoRTER's YARN.
The following extraordinary scene, report
ed as having occurred yesterday at theBrook-
| Ign court room about o'clock Those
who happened to be in the corridor were as
tonished TO see Shearman, Murray and
Bgelow, and lawyer Abbott's clerk walk
| briskly to the court room adjoining the one
in which the jury were, with two win
of the latter room, at a distance of about
twenty feet. An attempt to follow them
showed that they had secured the door be-
hind them by placing a chair under the
knob. When point was found from which
view of the interior OF the room could
be obtained, it was seen that Sherman
and Bigelow and Abbotts clerk were en-
gagged in an animated debate in front of
one of the windows mentioned, while Muir
ray was at the other conversing in loud
voice with Christopher Filter and George
Hall, who were standing at the window
opposite. At this the reporters burst in
the door and entered the room, whence
Sherman, Murray and the clerk instantly
made their exit. Bgelow remained nearly
half an hour, the reporters watching him
closely, when he took his leave in pparent
disgust. As soon as Filter saw the report
ers, he closed up the blinds. \ view of
the room, subsequently attained from
house on Boerum place, showed that the
twelve were again In consultation.
Mr.. Sherman of defense was around
shortly afterwards, and after paying visit
to Judge Nelson he took his departure.
Officer Spaulding brought verbal message
from the jury room to his honor about II
o'clock, but what was in the message Judge
Nelson declined to make public. 1t is ru-
mored around the building to-
day that Loeder, who was arrested last
evening OH charges of conspiracy and per-
| jury, had this morning confessed that his
story and published affidavit were manu.
! featured and untrue. At 100 Judge Nor
ris and Gen. Pryor came in and took seat
beside his honor, with whom they held
short consultation. A few minutes after
Judge Nelson SAID to the clerk OF the
court, "Send for Sherman" and when
that gentleman made his appearance dis
cussion took place. 1t appeared that the
message from the jury was in relation to
Beechers and Moulton testimonies, which
they desired to be sent up to them. 1t was
suggested that the volume of evidence be
sent up, but Gen. Pryor objected to this,
and it was agreed to cut the evidence of
these two parties from the book, and send
to the jurors. "Tell the jury" said his
honor to an officer, "that counsel are pre-
pairing papers and will send them up in a
short time
THE JURY.
The Beechcr jurors, when they came
from Judge McCue's court room this
morning on their way TO other quarters,
looked worn and haggard, as if they passed
a sleepless night. They carried their coats
and vests over their arms, and their hats
and few parcels in their hands. Judge
Nelson came up to court about 10 o'clock,
and took up the calendar for trial of causes.
LATER.
Shortly before two o'clock this afternoon
Judge Nelson informed the reporters that
all the testimony in the case had been sent
up to the Jury with the consent of counsel
on both sides, but with the injunction that
they were not to read any portion of the
Introductory editorial to the arguments OF
the counsel
, AT two o'clock Judge Nelson opened
the trial court and continued his hearing OF
the street railroad accident case.
The jury had dinner shortly after this
which was taken up to them in two large
hampers All the counsel have left tht
building and it is the general impression
that the jury will arrive at no conclusion
tonight, and will have to spend anothel
day within the precincts of the cour
house. Judge Nelson seems to take tn,
| situation kindly and still adheres to his re
| solution not to send for the jury unless a
their own request.
