TRACY,S TRIALS

BEACH BUCKS INTO HIM IN a WAY HE DOUBT
LESS EsPIsED-STRIKING SITUATIONS
RODGERS Has HIS HANDS FULL.
Description of the cross-examination OF
Mr.. Tracy by Tilton's counsel, Beach. the
scandal special of the Chicago Times, says:
Then came the interesting part of the bust
ness. Beach sprsng to his feet, and, throw
ing forward his chest, tackled the wit
meas, pluBging directly in medals res, and
questioning him about mis- much discussed
pledges to Tilton not TO be counsel for
Bsecher. When Beach, in the fiery way
common TO him, redoubled his home
tbrusts, and witness redeemed and shifted
his chair uneasily, it is not uncharitable to
say the expression of Fullerton's face was
one OF keen satisfaction. Moulton leaned
back in his chair, and twisted his tawny
mustaehe. all the time keeping his big
black eyes immovably fastened
on Beach's victim. Tracy said
he did not reccllect just then
ion," when Tilton asked him IL he
would become counsel for Bescher
ia case of collision with him. "Then you
don't KNOW" said Beach. "Were you the
compiler of that remarkable document you
read at the opeoing?" asked counsel. Tracy
said he was, of the greater part OF it, and
would take the responsibility. "And I
mean TO hold you to it." put in Beach.
pounding biz clenched hands on the table
and characterzing that conspiracy essay,r
as it is termed, full of malignities and
ealumnies. The audience applauded, and
the Judge hastily called upon Mr.. Rodgers
TO be
ALIVE AND DO HIS DUTY.
Sometimes Tracy was doubtful, and Beach
volunteered to wait while he was making
up his mind. He would not answer di-
I Fo1l
Beach would retort, "When / want that 7
VIII ask you. Now answer my questions' .
And once counsel said. dropping the sub
jeet, ''Well, if you can't answer, we'll get
somebody else that Will" The object OF
the ss-examinatiOn was plainly apparent
to the most ordinary intelligence.
from Beech's questions, and the guard
edly defensive attitude of witness. An
study of the evidence will prOha-
bly, show whether Beach accomplis he'd his
object Of entrspping Tracy on dates when
particular events occurred, or impressions
we're in his mind. A good deal was brought
out about the part Gen. Butler took in the
scandal negotiations. Tracy admitted he
was under the impression that Butler re-
garded the offenses as adultery, but said
that, as far as be was concerned, when he
gave the pledge to Tilton, he
inferred that the only charge
was improper advances, out of which the
negotiations could possibly arise, and left the
matter so. The questioning was of the
sharpest kind, and Tracy was keenly on the
alert and all the time wanting to tell what
occurred, instead of allowing himselfto be led
along by the astute Beach. At the close
Tilt0n stood up with a brighter and more
hopeful expression than Tor many weeks,
and Moulton was all smiles. Tracy did not
seem to feel in the least
hurt, and crowds OF gentlemen, his friends
and acQuaint anceS, shook hands with him,
and laughed and chatted with him about
how he stood fire. The cross examination
will DO resumed tomorrow.
