NEW YORK, June 25.-The jury in the
Beecher case is still out. The Judge re-
fused to send for them. A great number Of
people were congregated in and
around the Brooklyn City Court
room from an early hour this
morning. kThe corridors were thrOnged
with parties anxious to gain admittance,
but the police admitted only those having
the right to enter. At 10 O'Clock, the
hour appointed for the opening of the
court, the room was filled Mrs. Beecher
came in with ex-Judge F0rcr, and re-
sumed her usual seat IN front Of the Ply
mouth throng. Shearman hustled ii and
out of the room, while Tilt0n sat in the
ante-rOom leading to the judges chambers.
Am lng those present were Mr.. Bullard,
70 her of Mrs. Beecher, Beecher's sons
and nephew and good collection of Ply
mouth adherents. When Eyarts entered
the room he was received with applause,
which was with difficulty checked by the
court officials. Judge Nelson was in his
private room from an early hour where he
awaited communication from the jury.
The time was spent by the audience in
reading the morning papers and discussing
the situation. 1t is the prevailing belief
are freely offered on that result.
? p. NJ. Dispatch.
The jury sent down to-day for Mrs. Moul-
toms testimony, which the Judge forward
ed TO them. The jury were confined in an
upper side room ofthe courthouse, looking
out on the Park, and in front of which were
gathered probably about 500 people. The
windows Of the room were open, and the
jurymen gazed at the crowd with evident
interest, and do not seem as if they enjoyed
the situation. Carpenter at one period
read to some Of the jurymen from pamph-
let which be held in his hands, but others
Of them paid, or appeared TO pay, not the
slightest attention.
At 4 quarter to one the court adjourned
an hour for lunch, and the crowd dispersed.
A visit was made By some reporters TO the
Polytechnic Institute, whose windows look
into the jury room, and the jurors could be
seen in all positions, tanning themselves.
They were all suffering with the heat, and
they sat without their coats, and in some
instances without their vests. Carpenter
tilted himself back on the hind legs Of his
chair, with his feet resting on the window
ledge, and was talking in an earnest man
ner to his companions. Frequently they
would gather in groups and discuss some
point, and when the heat of discussion was
over, would separate and stroll up and down
the room.
Nothing has been heard from the Beecher
jury. a rumor has started that the jury
stands seven for Beecher and five for Til
ton, but it cannot be traced to an authentic
source.
At ten o'clock Judge Nelson adjourned
Court till eleven o'clock tomorrow, and
the jury were locked up for the night.
Before the Verdict and After.
little time for laughter,
A little time to sing,
A little time to kiss and cling,
And no more kissing after.
A little while for scheming
Loves unprotected schemes;
A little time ter golden dreams,
Then no more any dreaming.
A little while twas given
To me 10 have thy love;
Now, like ghost, alone / move
About ruined heaven.
A little time for speaking
Things sweet to say and hear;
A time to seek and find thee near,
Then no more any seeking.
A little time for saying
Words the heart breaks TO say;
A short time wherein TO pray,
Then no more need for praying.
But long, long years TO weep in,
And comprehend the whole
Great grief that desnlatss my soul
And eternity to sleep in.
