He said that the jury had here u letter
written By Mrs. Tilton, after the charge
was made by Mr.. Tilton, which showed
conclusivcly that the charge was one of
improper solicitations. No stronger eyi-
dence could be produced except the mag
ical restoration OF the written accuSa-
tion from the flames, in order to contute
the present intentions of the plaintiff.
The accusation, therefore, stood upon his

Bcecher thinks that if he had won this

tranged them from her husband, and il
it was true that the calamity which was At
tributed to him, had fallen into itthrough
chastity and affection and not through

wa, the most probable view contend"d
by the counsel the view that was taken
bv Mr.. Beecher. Counsel then
compared the testimony on this point by
Moulton with that Of Beccher, and
which Mr.. Evarts said he thought was
more compatible with the probabilities,
if Moulton or Tilton had any idea OF
having power over Beccher. Any person
could see the auomoly 81 Mou.ton at that
interview, urging the fricnd.ines5 on the
part of Beecher to Tilton 50 that IIlton
should not fear that Beechor held =

was to keep forgiveness IN Beecher $

A Great Crowd Present
Mr.. Evarts Still Speaking

NEW YORK, June 3.-The following
report of the Tllton- Beeeher trial is furn-
ished by the Ere,,iuq Post in advance Of
publication:
There was large attendance, and
many stood upon the outskirts Of the
crowd. At ten minutes past eleven
o'clock Mr.. Evsrts apologized for the de-
lay by saying that it was due to the Dc,
tention Of the ferry boat. He then said
that Mr.. Beecher had told them
what the paper contained which
Tilton had read to him rs statement OF
his wife. Tilton when recalled said it
was quite different from the description
of the contents given by Bcecher last
What the difference was he did not say.
1t was vital to the plaintiff case to con-
tradct. Why was MOultOn not asked to
contradict it? he had received the paper
and his memory was so good repeat it
wears atterward the exact words OF the
speech with which Tilton introduced
Victoria Woodruff to the audience.
They did not dare to give different YER
sions of the paper, because there was too
much evidence on record to prove the
concious perjury Of such an attempt.

where they have been contradicted ont

when she ithe nurse went to bed, and
that Mrs. Titon fell asleep. Mrs. Mitchell

The FIRST Thing Which Occasi0ned
Surprise

bv Bcechcr. There was no escaping from
the acceptance of the defendants version
of this paper. These facts destroyed the
whole story of Tilton's alleged narrative
to Beccher, of his wife's confession Of
adultery. Mr. Evarts then considered
the interview between the alleged adul-
trcss and the ALLEGED paramour, held in
her chamber alone and at night. Suppos-
ing it possible that the outraged husband
could desire or suggest such i
meeting, would the seducer wish
such an interview? And, knowing
himself to be guilty go 10 verify the
accusation
Mr.. Evarts spoke of the character of
Tilton rs manifested in his acts and de-
claralions. What an abnormal and mon
strOu, character this was which would
lead II man to pull down the temple Of
his household and crush his wife and
children, rather than rest under impu-
tatlons which were cast upon him by
tests of DR.. Bacon. He was determined,
as Brechcr declared,
