Last evening all the places OF public resort IN
Brooklyn were nled with people VINO seemed in

deliberations OF the jury in the Beecher case In
many or the saloons and restaurants bets were
offered and accepted as to the number who hold
out for Beecher ana as TO she number who believe
In his guilt There appeared to be no idea that an
agreement would take place.
BEEcHER NOBLE MAN.

lawyers know 1t very well. Some believe Beecher
guilty but think all OF that opinion are wrong.
Mr.. Beecher is TOO noble man, too long before

ruined. No twelve men who ever lived IN Brook
Ign Will agree to the destruction OF his character
and great usefulness"
