Mr.. Morris-On his crosse Xaml nation.
MI. Tracy-I don't know whether he has or not.
NORRIS BoUNcEs EvARTs.
The New York lawyers on this trial, relying upon
the superior awe they inspire in Brooklyn. where
the Bar 10 conceded to be OF some what watered
proof, undertook yesterday to bounce Kings
county in the person OF Judge Morris. He asked
Tracy question from his chair-reading printed
book OF evidence brought forward every day. Mr..
Tracy replied al above Mr. Evarts then arose in
his most lordly manner-"who made this inter-
ruptlOn 2"
Mr. Morris-l CID.
Mr.. Evarts expressed his dissatislaction with IL.
Mr.. Norris arose ana walked over to Mr.. Evsrts'
elbow.
II object" he said, 'to the question now; you
are going over Q cross-sxamination already ex-
hausted.n
The Judge sustained Mr.. Norris. Covert wrath
was all around. Mr.. Beecher was "nngerlng,"
meantime. with the strings behind his wtie's blue
and black cap.
FRIENDLY AID.
=, Monlton resumed;-On coming down the steps
not Christian, but viii Wy and show you now
heather can serve you" intended that as prof..
fer OF friendship to Mr.. Beecher; we talked about
the charges; told him OF the charges that Bowen
had made against Tlt0n; told him about the
it; he said Bowen had repeated the stories about
Triton think ne said 1t on the evening OF Decem-
that ne had heard certain stories about Triton, and
Mr. Beecher also said that ne sympathized with
Mr. Bowen; ne did not state what tne stories RE-
fully; expressed surprise at what M. Beecner
had told me; the substance was that Bowen was
treacher0us to both; 90 not think ne said he was
tine friend OF neither; said he was treacnerous to
Ttton; l DO not tEinK l expressed any opinion
about the truth Of those stories.
ANOTHER BREEZE.
I'm ohout finn "a
bounced Tracy. Evarts came to Trscy's relief
Everybody mixed in except Pryor, whose coun-
tenance was mirror OF the varying pictures Of
his side OF the case from point to point. The
Judge ruled Tracy out, and one Of many score Of
exceptions was noted. The jury were less atren-
tive than on any previous day, and gazed around
the apartment, probably because they had heard
the substance Of the testimony and did not
know the object OF the inquiries. The scene was
as iolows:-
Q. Did you intend by your reply that Bowen was
sion upon Beecner's mind thar you thought the
stories about Triton trueS
Mr.. Morrls-Quession objected to. State what
he said.
Judge Neilson..I think you can Judge better
INT MI Eyarts.Tne witness has made rep,v which
on one view. and perhaps the correct view, car
ries the impression, as compared with the rest
Bowen ssd See trs sena sses s
stories about rllton, or tnat he mad been treach-
erous to Tllton in the matter OF friendship, BY
telling false stories. We want to know when Of
those views be mad presented to MI. Beecner.
Judge Neilson-It is not . part Of the converse
ton.
Mr. Evarrs-He didn't answer that; we are
crosse xamining him to get at exactly the reading
ana produced AN impression upon Mr.. Beecner's
Judge Neilson-You have right to that; agree
with Mr.. Evarts that you are entitled to all OF the
conversation.
Mr.. Tracy-we are cross-examining this WIT
ness. He said he made q certain answer to MIR.
Beecher, which is ambiguous. Now we ask what
he meant by that answer, because his manner OF
speech accent insSnason or voice; al carry WITH
ness to reflect to the jury and We ASK him what
Judge NeiIson-Mr Beecher might have under.
stood that impression one way and the witness
anotner don't think you can get tnat from the
Mr.. Tracy-Does Your Honor exclude the ques-
tions
Judge Neflson-Yes.
Mr.. rracy-Note our exception. We pass on.
Witness-Mr. Beecher did make reply; be
said he thought he was treacherous; do not re.
time; when we entered my house Mr. Beecher
passed up stairs and went into the front room;
IN 40
take the key out OF the door when Mr.. Beecher
came in; when Mr.. Beecher came down went
with him TO Tllton's house, and on the way down
talked ABOUT Bowen; told him again that I
thought Bowen was treacherous man; told Mr..
these charges. and be goes TO you, according 10
what You have said, and told those charges: now
sore ana IN having said %sat IN ne da 10 ou

reference was made to them; ne dld not go
into details about them; as we walked back
to his house the conversation was substantially
the same; DO not think anything was added to

stories during those three interviews with MIR.

Mr.. Mr. Evarts-rney are to prove the subject OF
Judge Neson--It may be that it viii bs in the
nature OF general evidence.
Mr.. Beacn-lf your Honor will permit me, hold
that to repeat stories heard in That general way
Is contrary to all the rules or evidence.
Mr.. Evarts-It Is to show what knowledge the
witness had concerning the stories he says ne
talked about with Mr.. Beecner.
Judge Neilson-rhe question is, did he know
reference was nader
MORE LEGAL sPARRING.
Mr.. Tracy developed, as he proceeded, an inten.
ton to draw new matter out Of the witness as q
subject OF shrewd cross examination. and this led
to a sharp debate, when Fullerton called Tracy an
lnterrupter. Tracy stood smiling like o prize
fighter maneuvrlng for position and blowing on
peLWeeu Iue ''uDOlux.' IL lOOk6Q very PROBABLE
that Henry Ward Beecher was to 60 on the stand,
as Tracys examination OF Moulton appeared to DO
preparatory Of denial by Mr.. Bsecher OF many
OF the points being extorted from Moultou. Mr.
houlton gaped as the counsel Quarrelled. II was
weary day all round.
wINsTEp, CONN.
witness esumed:-I think Mr.. Tilton told some
thing about y transaction at Wnsted, Conn.,, that
Mr.. Bowen had spoken OF; do not remember tho
details; rllton said That Bowen said that TtltOn
was at Winsted with a LADY and that he acted i'm
properly with her; do not exactly RENE Der, as
Mr.. Bowen spoke 10 me also ABOUT the stories !;
thar IS all remember of what T,lton told me; [
do not remember anything more than l have
stated; do not think Mr.. TiltOn specified how his
conduct was supposed to be improper TO the lady.
THE JUDGE REBUKEs TRACY.
AS the inqu ~ developed into the question OF
miscellaneous intrigaes with women the largest
OF the ladies' present produced her handkerchief
and stopped her head. Judge D. d. Barnard came
into court at this time. The Judge rebuked Mr..
Tracy for repeating the answers OF the witness,
saying that "a gentleman OF his large experience
