claims TO have discovered the druggist who
sold Beecher the poison which Moulton
mentioned In MS testimony, and produces
the entry from his books OF the charge
'Beecher, May I3, Isl to one ounce of
pr,issic acid, at 30 cents"
The rumors Of new evidence against Mr..
Beecher. aro>e from the following facts
A few days ago, after the close of the testi-
mony in the trial, Mr.. Morris was informed
that Mr.. Loader, an upholstered, doing bus
iness on Fulton avenue, BROOKLYN, would
have been an important witness. The story
was, that years ago, before Loader went
into business, he had a job in Tilton's resi-
dence. He was in the hall of the house
when Beecher entered, and was greeted
by Mrs. Tilton, Mr.. Beecher lifted Mrs. Til
ton in his arms, kissed her, and carried her
into the parlor.
Later the upholsterer went into the par
lor to get a toll that he had left there, and
saw Ms. Tilton and Mr.. Beecher in curl
Gus attitude. lie kept the latter sights Sc
cret until the scandal broke out, when he
told il in confidence to several frinds, but
he spoke about the kissing in the hall to the
servants, and they replied that it was not
an uncommon occurrence.
Tilton's counsel sent for Loader, but they
could get no information from him, He
declared that his business would be ruined
should be a witness against Beecher, and
the Lawyers, after considering the I'M
probability Of being able to force him to
testify, and difficulty Of having the case
opened for the testimony, did nothing pub
licly with the information. Loader has
since been questioned by reporters, but de-
clares he has nothing to say.
The crush for seats in the Brooklyn City
court room, this morning, was rs great as
ever, every inch OF standing room being &C.
cupied. After the court opened Beach
called the attention to the publication in
the newspapers this morning and said,
before making any application or sugges-
ton to the court, he wished to consult with
his associates, and after recess he would
take whatever steps might be necessary in
the matter.
Beech then resumed his address to the
jury, and spoke OF Mr.. Richards, the broth
er Of Mrs. Tilton, and said he was
one OF the most respected members
OF the Christian denomination in the coun-
try !; he had come TO court, which could not
be resisted, and his demeanor on the wit
ness stand showed him to be 4 most relia-
bic witness. Beach then read from the ar
ticle, by Rev. DR.. Crary, in the Christian
Advocate" which sets forth that cruel,
brutal attacks had been made on Richards
by defendants counsel. Beach then de-
Tended X. Il. Martin, one OF the witnesses
for the prosecution, and referred to the al
fusion by counsel for defence, to the
course OF MoultOn in regard to Miss Proc
tor. He said that Moulton, by the advice
Ut his counsel had published, not an attack
OF his own on that, but the statement which
Beecher had made to him in regard to her
IL was ia sely pretended that Mrs. Wood
hull had been supplied with information
hv Tiiton for her article on the scandal.
Putting cut OF sight the influences which
led TO MIR. Tilton's connection with Mrs.
WcCdhu!., what was there which should
induce the jury to condemn Tilton for it.
1t would be an outrage To condemn this
ieers and scot. CT counsel. Mr. Beach
said he had row answered numher OF the
suggestions raie Nv his friends, in their
arguments ior the defense, and would now
proceed with MS own argument.
The jury could not have failed to observe
the peculiar circumstances under which
the case had been introduced to them.
There was some doubt as to whether

in this case, as the management of
the defense had been conducted by Ply
| mouth Church. An organized array of
its friends has been present every day in
this court, under the lead of their gallant
usher, who, at one time, appeared to take
control OF the room laughter. Every Ell
fort had, in this manner been made, to pro-
dUce an impression upon the public mind
and the jury. He had great respect for
Plymouth Church. 1t was great church,
a wealthy church, having, it was said, 80
00J communicates. 1t was a Jury OF the
Eicenage, to which the counsel for the de-
Tense would gladly refer the case. 1t had
been referred to this jury once, in the church
investigation, but it was an aggressive
church, and it came into this court at first
as if on a gala day, and as If Mr.. Beecher,
with Plymouth Church at his heels, had
| but to enter court in order to secure YER
