THE TILT0N-BEEcHER SUIT
Still Awaiting the Verdict.

The first night the Tilton-B eechcr jury
were locked up number Of journalists re-
NAMED outside the court till late hour,
and one of them, who is n bit of wag,
noticing the foreman in the window about
twelve o'clock, cried out, Carpenter, do,
like a good man, fling us down paper
telling us how you stand, for publication
in the papers," This was reported as
serious attempt to get at the secrets OF the
jury room, and In consequence four officers
were sworn in Friday night to patrol the
live-long night under the windows of the
jury room. -Four new special officers were
also sworn in Friday night to relieve those
outside the door Of the jury room, who
had been forty hours on duty.
A great crowd gathered in the street be-
fore the scandal court early Saturday morn
ing eagerly asking for news, and everybody
was inquring, evil the jury agree p AS
| early as eight o'clock Saturday morning
Theodore Tilton, pale and breathless,
rushed up to the judges room to inquire
for the news, but got none, as there was
none to give beyond the fact that about
o'clock the jury left the court, in which
they had passed the night, and went up to
their debating and had just ordered break
fast.
Judge Nelson and the counsel on both
sides are still hopeful that the jury will
agree. There are rumors that the jury
have changed recently and now stand
eleven to one, Carpenter being for Beecher
and the rest Obstinate but there is very
little credit to be attache to these flying
rumors.
Mrs. Beecher, Moses Beach, Beechers
sons and several dcacons arrived in court
at eleven o'clock. Defendants counsel
were all present except Evars. None of
Titon's party have appeared in court since
the jury went out. Mrs. Beecher is in
good spirits, laughing, chatting gaily and
saluting her numerous friends as they ar
rive. AT II o'clock the jury sent down a
request for ice cream. n
One of the Plymouth church gentlemen
says the statement in the papers that Bes-
sic Turner has left the city is untrue. She
is still domiciled with F. w. Manchester
on the hill. Mr.. Billiard, Mrs. Beechers
brother, Mr.. Scoully, her son-in-law, AL
derman Whitney and several deacons were
in the group around Mrs. Beecher.
1t is believed the jury haye given up bal
loting or discussing the subject. A little
before 12 o'clock, they were evidently car
rying on some fun.
Among the members of Plymouth church
in court at 10 o'clock were Usher A. c.
Caldwell, Thomas J. Thine, Deacon Fisher
Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Soclslor, Dr. Brush, Mr.
Long Taylor, Mr.. Arthur Bell, Mr.. South
wick, Mrs Williamson, Miss Lizzie Tucker
and Mrs. A. d. Ely.
AT 1915 Titon and his counsel. Morris
and Prior, entered the court house building
and large crowd rushed up stairs after
them. Tilton was interviewed at every
step by the reporters, but knew no more
than they did, AT seven minutes to one
recess was taken till three o'clock.
SCENES IN THE BROOKLYN COURT ROOM.
| After II o'clock the spectators in the
court room gradually thinned down, the
doors were left open and parties walked in
gazed around and then walked out In
this manner perfect stream of visitors
kept pouring in, and when curiosity was
satisfied betook themselves elsewhere
Among those who thus dropped in were
Col. Henry Beecher and Herbert Beecher
sons of the defendant, and Rev. Mr. SEQ
vile, Mrs. Beechers brother. Judge Neil
son was asked If he should send for the
jury tonight provided they did not CONF
to any agreement before that, but he re
piled that it was impossible to say what hi
should do, as he had not yet made up hi
mind to any course he may pursue. 1t II
stated that when the jury come in will
their verdict and the case is ended, thu
judge will take his departure for Saratoga
where he will spend the summer. At ter
minutes to one o'clock a court officer en-
tered the room and adjourned the cour
until three o'clock, when the audience dis
persed, to collect in the corridors ant
around the building and discuss the stu
alton. A rumor at this time prevails t.
the effect that the jury stands eight to fou
for acquittal.
WATCHING THE JURY ROOM.
The Sun has the following Mr.. Bene
dict, aIpartner of Colonel Henry b. Beeche
in business, and whose sister is the colonel
wife, Friday rode up from Boenim stree
into Fulton avenue in Mr.. Beccher's car
rage. Mr.. Beechers bays were attached
and the family coachman was driving. Tw
little children were on the seat with Mr.
Benedict Boenim street runs past tn
court house, on the jury room side, and /
r separated from 1t by plot of open groun
} about hundred feet wide. The carriag
f was stopped opposite the room, and MI
, Benedict, looking up at the window, waive
A his handkerchief. Then he rode arouu
$ the corner into Livingston street, wher
the carriage was again stopped, and Ii
again scrninized the windows. A reporte
who had seen this strange occurrence frou
lower room Of the court house went GU
e to learn which of the jurors was at tn
: window, but he only saw an unrecogniz
able man moving away.
