crossed the Styx and parneyed the sainted Peter

The court, as usual was crowded TO sunocation,
and II would have been hard to find sufficient space
TO place the most dimlnutIve camp stool. Since
Mr.. Fullerton commenced work upon Mr.. Beecher
the curiosity or the outside public has been raised
TO fever pitch, and everybody that has the entry
TO the court business basis Is importuned by
his friends for seat. the members Of the press
are the sufferers. as even their liruited quarters
are encroached upon, and II is hard now to obtain
even elbow room.
Thus far Mr.. Fullerton has made a decided sue
cess OF the examination as, although he has
not lured MIR. Beecner into any direct contradlc-
ton, he has succeeded IN puzzling the
Plymouth pastor by the direct aud search
ing nature OF his interIogatories. The
letter or apology, the pistol scene ana
Mrs Tilton's letter OF retractlon were each
taken up on Wednesday, and all the details con-
corning and relating to each OF these matters
were minutely examined. Mr.. Beecher looked
worried and tired during the day, and evidently
felt the ordeal that he was being put through by
Mr.. Fullerton. No point, however trivial, that
could have the effect OF weakening the defend
ants testimony before the jury lost by the
keen lawyer, who shot forth bis questions N rapid
succession, paying especial attention 70 dates and
other minutie in which he found the witness
recollection rather weak. on several occasions
Mr.. Fullerton called tne witness to order, request
ing direct answer to his question, and objectlng
any OF toe profuse explanations with which Mr..
Beeeher often smoOths over his answers. On one
occasion, when Mr.. Fullerton said sharply "0h,
wei. 1t is not worth while to play upon words,n
the witness replied, "a know but you have cor
nered ME SO many times | am afraid OF you"
The spectators are perfectly wrapped up In the
proceedings, and follow with painful attention
every ord that is uttered bearing upon the case
Their sympethes are also apparent, In many
instances even the stern and reproacniul glances
from the Judge, meant TO quell the expressions or
appreciation and disapprobation, fail IN their pur-
port, and word or two OF censare becomes neces-
sary before silence Is obtained. Ninety per cent
OF the lady visitors are friends and sympathizers
with MT. Beecner. and whenever Ar. Fullerton
