MR.. TILToN APPEARS.
When Mr.. Woodruff had testified, his large, solid
features scarcely relaxing, there was O quick
movement OF Theodore nlton. apparently under
stood by his counsel He was out OF his usual
place and IN the chair generally occupied BY Law
yer Pearsal, near the Judges stay.i and the wit
ness box.
At once he arose, mounted the box took the
chair, and the loud, laundering clerk proceeded
to administer the oatn stentoriously.
M. Evarts shot up like puppet from q spring
box. The Judge had anticipated the argument.
He settled back and waited for the talk while
Tilton crossed his legs and Kept the position. The
jury all looked at rilton, over and over ana the
nor auil n 2 n I'm for hv
many men are judged gave silently Its purport
there; none knew to what effect; for the jurymen
have all or generally, sworn that they had no
acquain lance whatever with Mr.. Tilton.
The plaintiffs face there was the same we have
long seen IN court, face put into crcumspectot
and cohAne" for the uses oil this trials for, despite
all his former loquacity and patronage OF reporters,
Tilton has scarcely addressed anybody but counsel
during oil the trial.
He has been hard worked. and. by design, he has
dismissed everything but his armor bearers.
A long, striking figure. with abundant legs and
waist, tall neck, flowing brown hair and the
countenance OF one meditative ana without q
temper, the air OF pain and endurance be-
comes him. That he is scion OF the church Is
manifest; he IL too unworldly 10 be lovable (;
he was born like she prophet Samuel, to respond to
clerical orders and the face of the bcatiludes
After Frank NouIt0n's testimony, worldly and
boyish, rilron in the chair looked like o female
sphynx, or something not Of Us nor very near our
nature. His eyes lacked grip. They we're always
far of. The ace had a KIND Of parboed pain In
it; the want or beard gave 1t the not of I'M
manliness but of gtrllshness. He was, however,
q stern-souled character. as all know who have
approached HIM. Until his lips are unsealed we
may dismiss him.
The witness then left the stand. The counsel Tor
tO0othpr w
Mr.. 11ton was called by them to take the stand.
Just az The CLERK was about TO administer the oath
he was interrupted by Mr.. Evarts.
Mr.. Evarts-Hold onl object.
MIR. Fuller tOn-We offer Mr. Hilton as witness
MR.. EvARTs' OBJECTIONS.
Mr.. Evarts-l object to his being sworn In this
cause rs witness on his own behalf. This Is
question OF fact solely and distinctly as to the
adultery Of his wife. mat Is the fact on which his
right OF action rests on that alone. And his
WEES adultery ana the question OF whether Mr.
Beccher Is man OF upright morals in this behaI
or guilty or this crime Is wholly immaterlal ID

sponslble person against whom the law gives
recourse Tor injury that
