 New York, July 2.-The following in the l Beecher-Titon case has been ascertained by interviowers: One of the jurors said, ''we stand to-day precisely as we did eight days ago. Another states that at one time the jury stood II to again to :, and still later to '. There was irreconcilable diff ference of opinion as to the credbility of witnesses on each side. Juror Hull said that at times their discussions were very animat- ed. Another time the jurors stood to 6. A Union reporter learned that when the jury retired they stood to 5; seven for Beecher, four for Hilton and one doubtful though leaning to Hilton. This doubtful afterward came over to Beecher, and the second ballot stood to 4. When the evidence was re- quested and sent up, one of the four, after it's examination, went over to Beechers side. On the final ballot they stood 9 to 3. The Eagle says: "On Saturday few of the Beecher men who Lad been using gigantic effo: ts to convert Jefferey, Davis and Plate 10 their side had so far succeeded that these men at last consented to verdict for Beech CT. Some were then in favor of going into court at once but, unfortunately for Beecher, it was decided not to do so until o'clock that evening. At this moment one of the Beecher men made ah ndiscreet remark which caused undue excitement and had the effect of alternating some. Thus the work of many hours of tedious argument was cheated of it's result. Persistent efforts were made to counteract the result of the indscression but the minority, Jefferey, Plate and Davis, retiring to the ground which they had com pacted to abandon emphaticaly declined to hold any further argument ballot on 1 Monday showed that the three had returned | to Hilton, as the vote stood 0 for Beecher to | 5 for Hilton, and from this count there was | no variation. Lawyer Sherman said to-day | that counsel for the defendants had been vis- | ited several times by friend of one man on | the jury who intimated that his verdict could | be purchased. Shearman declined to state | whether they would move for a new trial. There is rumor that plaintiffs counsel will | move for new trial at once, by placing the case on the October calendar. and that as soon as it is called motion will be made for a change of venue.
 The Times tomorrow will publish the fol- lowing: "A Times reporter has ascertained rom the most reliable authority that the next move of Hilton will be to obtain an in- iictment against Gen. Tracy, for perjury, on the ground that Hilton, Moulton and Wood ruff distinctly stated to him that the charge lgainst Beecher was adultery, while he swore 'n the witness stand to the contrary. It IS believed proceedings will be taken without lelay.
