material in rebuttaI

the house required the enumeration of the names.
Judge NesOn-Thero has been good deal OF evidence
in regard the house and its occupation, and so on

Mr. Evarts contnuing-That you'd be rebuttal' I'M
less some special objection that was not rebuta
But this Is not rchuttdl, az IL seems 10 uc'
Judge Neilson-Oh think the general fact though az
TO the occupants the house might be taken in gneral
wav; we don't want a long enumeration of names
Mr. Evarts-The question H. who were visitors OF tnat
house Well now, there IL limit guess rs to time
either don't know how that was

Woodruff there.
Mr. Evarts-Well there Ia limit 10 the time then
evcent d,rinc her occupancv of the house

make II az brief as you
Mr. Evarts-It is not general fact he asks list OF
the persons who visited there.

Mr.. Fulerton-It cannot be disguised, if your Honor
please that they attempt to east reproach upon the
nainti in this case and some OF his witnesses because
thew visited the house of Mrs Woodruff. and think II Is
emnently proper for 10 show the character OF the
house the character Of those requented it, and the
objects they had in view in going.
Judge Neilson-Oh, think could hardly he disputed
that you could show that this was literary place "here
dstin grIished weknown gentlemen were wont to con
gregae and converse literary subjects.
Mr.. FullertOn-Certainly
Judge Neilson-Or anything else giving character to
the house in a general way,
MI Evarts-Bu if your Honor please, they nrst h'io-
duced the subject Of Mrs. WO0dhulPs house ana the
plaintiffs relations to her they introduced 1t as part
of their case that the operations in which Mrs Woodhm
figures in reference this scandal were operations
which led TO association which followed from assOc
ton between Mr. Ton and Mr. Moulton, II you please
10 some extent and this lady under certain definite
motives which were described. Now we have limited
ourselves understand in thedeendants evidence 10
showing what the nature OF Mr. Tlons relations 10 at
bonse aud inmates and the Office and ia inmates was
think entirely We have not undertaken to show that
crona of an improper character visited there-not at all
We have taken such persons have fornd there nee
essariy whenever any evidence was given
Judge Neilson-Yes.
Mr. Evarts-That was not seeking, for instance,
Mr.. COwley

ever-for example Of visitors there, by Mrs Moulton
think we can take the general fact. Don't give long
history.
Mr. Eyarts-But s1ll that II your Honor please was
part Of their direct examination Of Mrs dou!ton
Judge NelsOn-Wcll--
Mr. Evarts-We don't prove II they proved that she
had made three four visits there All did was to
attempt 10 ascertain with particularly "h'h 'eJ WIN
Judge NeilsOn-Yes, sir.
Mr. Evarts-N0w, It Is certainly matter ~ some con-
sequence whether the lines Of rebuttd arc to be drawn
open or not; and II it part OF their ease to show le
partcuar character OF Mrs Woodruff and OF her house
why thcn,as it was part of their they introduced
the house and The lady into this case and, as say We
in return have done nothing and attempted TO show
nong concerning other visitors Of the house than MI
Tton and he only by of his presence there ana
IN respect to what occurred in HIS presence have we
ATTEMPTED to affect him at all and now there seems 10
he no reason why the general character OF the VISITORS Oh
that house should be for the first time Introduced INTO
this
Ntr Fruorton-It is tine Sir that we introduced
