then took the stand and his direct exami-
nation was continued. IL consisted main
" in identifying documents and relating
70 circumstances connected Herewith, al
ready familiar by publication in the various
statements.
During the examination of MOulton,
Fullerton turned 10 Eyarts and asked
for a COPY Of the church records to
prove that the charges Of W. z. West
against TilJOn, founded on the Woodruff
scandal, had never been entered on the
books.
Eyarts replied he did not think they
were compelled to produce the records Of
the church, and Judge Nelson sustained
Evarts.
A statement by MoultOn that Beecher
had admitted 70 him that Sherman was a
mischief maker, created considerable
amusement in court. MOultOn next testi-
fiei that he procured the word 'Ottence' 70
be inserted in the Bacon letter in place Of
the words "a revolving crime" Beecher
said the Bacon letter was a 'dead-shOt."
MOulton further testified that Woodruff,
mis- partner, came to him and said that
the firm had been criticised for the part
he had taken in the Beecher matter, and
the firm recommended that he should en-
gage counsel. He asked Beecher who was
the best man, and he recommended Gen.
Tracy. He told his partner he was willing
to employ Tracy, and an interview
was had between Woodruff, Tracy
and himself Tracy was told Of
the criminal intimacy between Beecher
and Mrs. TiltOn, and Tracy said that
this should be hushed up. He said he
would nOs advise lying, but this was case
in which it might be used. He told
Beecher that TiltOn was angry with him
for disclosing the truth to Mr.. Tracy, as he
did not want the story Of EliZabeth's
shame made knOWn,an that Mr.. Tracy bad
told TiltOn that the interest Of all con-
cerned demanded a denial of that
story. MoultOn identified the numerous
letters written by Beccher and
others. Among them was a letter
from Mrs. Morse to Beecher, asking
for help, and promising that the secret Of
Elizabeth's life would never be mentioned.
This Beecher handed to witness, with the
remark that it was a dangerous letter.
MOultOn also testified 10 having told MIR.
Holiday, assistant pastor, that Mr.. Beecher
was gIiltless, and, when he informed Mr..
Beecher what he had done, he thanked
him. They thought Mr.. Holiday ought
not to know the facts. When witness
told Beecher that Butler should be con
suited, Beecher said he did not think much
Of Buffers moral sense, but il would be a
good idea to consult him, as he was wise
man. MOultOn read to Beecher separately,
the Statement which he afterwards read to
the committee, and asked Beecher if 1t was
honorable for him to make such stale
ment, and B echer thought it was. Beecher
said he did not wish to see TiltOn; that bis
presence was a standing Tebuke to him and
always unnerved him.
The court adjourned till Monday.

Yesterdays Proceedings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Owing to the re-
peated complaints Of counsel and the sixty
reporters, that they were cramped for room,
Judge Nelson has given instructions to ad-
NIT only such Of the public as have been
provided with tickets Of admission. As
these tickets have been issued 10 more per-
sons than the courtroom viii contain, great
confusion was caused this morning by the
struggle Of holders to gain an entrance.
As soon as the space allotted 10 the public
was filled, the doors were closed and those
favored with tickets were formed In line
and admitted in such order as those inside
would leave. There was present to-day,
the usual strong delegation from Plymouth
Church.
When the Judge took his seat, Mr.. Ful
lerton, Of the counsel for TiltOn, said they
were somewhat embarrassed by the alb
sence Of Mr.. Morris, who was sick and coli
fined to bed, and they would, therefore,
have TO ask the indulgence Of the court
from time 10 time.

not want to appear as having solicited a

skillfully elected by EVarts, and i'm

Appearance OF the EEAucAPhA AcAoEas
Beecher looked as hearty, rublcund and
robustiOus as ever, but the other leading
characters showed the signs Of harassment
and exhaustion.
Mrs. Beecher is undergoing a marked
change of appearance, as seen from day to
day at the trial. Her cDuutenance, which
at first was benignant, is now haggard.
Ms. TiltOn also has a Wilted appe france,
