sassin who had rendered his home desolate
and destroyed the prospects OF his children.
When men forebore to strike down the
seducer and destroyer of their homes, they
were held up to opprobium. When the
fact of the discovery Of this crime was
made known to Beecher on the Both of
December, 1870, his expression, ut will
kill me- signified that he had already
heard the voice of an indignant world hurl-
ing vengeance on the head OF the seducer.
The Jury would see what steps had been
taken during the past four years to pre-
vent discovery of the wrong. Mr.. Morris
then read the letter sent to Mrs. Tilton by
Beecher, with Tilton's permission, after the
discovery.
Mr.. Morris said that he would show to
the jury that Moulton had possession Of
these secrets, and as part OF the arrange
ment il was settled that neither Tilton nor
Beccher should see one another without the
knowledge of Moulton. If there had been
no improper relation between Beecher and
Mrs Tilton. why does he take the trouble
TO write to her and tell her sit would be
safe to write, ".for om non at home here
ritA my sister ? The very fact of the cor
rcspondencc between them was 4 strong
argument in favor of there having been an
Illicit intimacy between these parties. Mr..
| Morris read portion of the letter dated
January 90, 1872, written by Beecher to
Mrs 1Ilton, telling her that he was going
/ to New Haven to lecture TO the students of
/ the seminary on preaching, and that his
wife was going to Havana and Florida.
| This was the first intimation that Tlton
| had of letters passing between his wife and
Mr. Bcechcr. Counsel would lay evidence
before the jury us the case progressed
! more conclusive than that they had already
| heard. lie spoke to them from blightcd
| home, and came TO lay before them the
| plain and unvarnisLcd evidence of the
STATE of affairs caused by this scduccr.
At this point Mr.. Morris paused and
resumed his argument, Tuesday morning.
At Atchison, Kansas. few nights ago a
sixteen years old girl broke into billiard
hall. and pocieting all the balls carried
them off, her reason being that her father
spent all his spare money there.
A shocking incident of histronc vicious
ness is reported by st. Louis paper. 4
party of iamishcd cmigrants from South
Carolina arrived at Dallas, Tex, the other
day. The starving mothers could hardl y
hold their half-dcad infants, and the wall
ing of the children for warmth and food
was pitcous in the extreme. They had no
place to sleep that raw winter night, and
were grouped upon the frozen ground in
vacant lots when girl oily seventeen
years of age trpped lightly out of what the
Rev. Talmage calls ''thc gateway of hell,
and, learning of their distress, borrowed
money enough to feed them, and sheltered
them in her house for the night. This
demon was not satisfied until the mayor
and others had been reused to a proper spirit
of benevoicncc, and had supplemented her
charity with additional clothing and victuals.
The devils name was Nellie Collins, and
she regards civilization by dancing with
clogs at the Dallas varieties for Sc week.
And the Dallas people are so blind to in
Equity that ,hcy are inclined to praise her
