had laid his arm and was resting his
head Looking past Mr.. Beecher the
jury had her face in full view. The
scandal has lasted long enough, and
has had full enough situations Of try
ing publicity to give all concerned
tolerably steady nerves, but no one

Beecller left her husbands side when
the recess began, and, stepping to Mrs.
'lilton's side, warmly greeted her,
Mrs. Tilton rising and shaking hands,
but with the same sober face she had
worn all the morning. Mr.. Beecher

scandal where he had dropped it, and
his speech was simply recital OF the
letters already given to the public, to
each OF which he gave construction on
which he rests his case. He had reached
the Bacon letter when he closed in
the afternoon, and is expected to finish
IN the first hour this morning. HWtd,
