The Loeder Conspiracy.

New York, July AT the further
examination to-day of Jos. Loeder,
charged with perjury and conspiracy,
Rev. Henry Ward Beccher was called as
witness at the request OF the District.
Attorney. lie looked over the affidavit
OF L0eder, aud was asked il Ony Of the
statements in the affidavit were true. MI
Beecher replied that there is nothing that
Is true there rs alleged. lie was then asked
to read the affidavit made by Price and
he testified that there was not one word Of
truth in the allegation respecting him in
the affidavit. On crOss-Cxamlnation
BCCcher testified that he was Unguardcd in
his intercourse, and that II was not his
custom to salute his friends with kiss;
he had sometimes kissed Mrs, Tilton, and
when he had been away for sometime he
kissed the Tilton family all around; his
visits to Mrs. TiltOn sometimes lasted five
minutes and sometimes an hour; he
thought it very likely that there was u
sofa in Mrs. TiltOn'S parlor and that he
might have sat down upon il with her.
District Attorney lIritton said that he
here proposed to rest the case Of the peO-
pie. General Pryor had been present,
but he told him his testimony was not re-
quirCd. lie took great pleasure in say
ing that there was not Il shadow Of rcileC-
ton on General Pryor in this case as
counsel or otherwise; that gentleman was
incapable Of any improper connection
with m affair OF this kind. Moreover,
he had found in his investigation Of this
case that General Pryor was brought into
it purely BY an accident, aud under cir
cuInstanCcs which would deceive almost
any one.
Justice Riley expressed his gratiiica-
tiOn with these remarks.
l.oedcrs counsel said Price was Il man
who had been guilty Of perjury, and he
was the one whom the prosecution pro
posed to Use as witness,
The District Attorney denied this, say
ing he wished Price to be held with
LOcder. lie did not propose to use the
testimony Of M acknowledged pcrjnr0r
against another.
Justice Riley then committed LOedcr
aud Price to await the action Of the grand
jury.
The usual questions were asked the
prisoners, Price acknowledging that he
was guilty, and I'ocdcr pleading not
guilty.
Mr.. BccChcr was before the grand jury
today to testify in the l.otder and Price
case. Mrs. Tiiton will give her evidence
tomorrow,
Another affidavit from j. j. Price is
published, giving the alleged detail Of
the method Of getting up the Loedcr nc
cusation against Mr. lIeecher Price says
that I4Oedcr instructed him what to say,
and that Lawyer Morris paid him at
various times small sums Of money to
spend in liquors, cigars, &c. Price again
declares that the affidavit signed by him
in Morris office is false in every par
ticular. lie was never in Mr.. Tilton's
house, aud never to his knowledge saw
Mrs Tilton.
