had already answered that question.
Evarts said that when the question was pro-
pounded before the article containing 1t had
not been produced. Judge Nelson re-
quested Gen. Tracy to put the question In
another form. The question was then put
to the witness whether ne did what was
mentioned in the article on that occasion.
To this the counsel for the prosecution OBJ
jected, contending that the ques-
ton had not been materially changed.
Judge Nelson ruled that only
such portions of the paper should
be read as were material in the understand
ing Of the court. A conference was then
held among the lawyers OF the defense as to
what portion of the article were material.
Tracy stated that he intended to read tnat
part beginning with the word, reporter"
ending with the interview. Gen. Tracy
said it would take him so long time to find
the portions he wanted that he would pro-
ceed to another subject and refer to
this again. The witness then resumed; Be-
tween January i, 1871, and May i, 1874, Til
ton had as source of revenue the money de-
posted with Woodruff & Robinson. The
money from the Golden Age, the s., 900 from
Bowen, and the S., 900 given me by Beecher
for Tilton. In addition to this were some
loans he had from me. / do not know OF any
other sums he had loaned. i think during that
time he had incomes from his lectures in the
fall of1s71 and the spring of 1872. L do not
know how much money he received from
his lectures. do not recollect the
Largest AMOUNT OF MONEY
loaned him at any one time. At the time
be received $1,000 from Bowen his account
drawn $3.50. do not know If
Tilton had any sources of income from
the 1st of January, 1878, to the payment of
the $1,000 from Beecher in May. 1 do not
know whether any other person lent him
any money during that time. / had more
than one interview with Beec her before the
Advancement of the 5000. / said to
Beecher that told Tilton about the drafts
sent to me for him as gift from q third
party, and that mentioned the name of the
third party TO Tilton, and that he thereupon
said he could not accept the loan,
as he saw no means OF repaying
it. / may have said this was friendly act,
but did not say this is what call a friendly
act. L showed the drafts to Beecher at this
interview, and he saw the name on them.
They were subsequently returned by me TO
the sender. / can not tell how soon after
this Beecher gave me 5000 for the Golden
Age. Out of this, on the 11th of July, 1873,
/ sent Tilton $1,000. Shortly after
this / sent him $3.50. On August
18th / sent him $3.50. The next
amount was on September II and was $500.
On September 80 sent him $500. The next
sum was $3.50, sent December %. The next
was a check to A. NJ. Reed for Bessie
Turner's school bill on December 16, and
was for $500. Tilton had nothing to do
with the ordering of this The next
amount was $500. on February "a.
The next was paid March the
30tb, il was 800. These moneys were sent to
Tilton on his application. The next check
paid was on May 2, $3.50, on May 26, $500.
These were generally paid on a written or
verbal application that they required money.
Tilton never knew that this money was
from any other person than me. Tilton
thanked me but / can not tell what he
said. He never thanked me for any
particular advance Imade to him, but at one
time, at his house, he said he was grateful to
me for those loans. The impression led
him to form was that If he was not able TO
return me this money it would be gilt to
him, and if he was able to return it he should
do so. This referred first to the advance of
81 900. When the account was out
stopped the payments. / do not remember
If any applications were made for additional
funds. None of this money has yet been
paid back. TIE counsel for the defense inti-
mated that the hour of adjournment had
arrived, but Nelson asked them to go on
and finish with the witness. Gen. Tracy
said that the examination of this witness
would occupy at least another day. The
court then adjourned till Monday.
