.BEECHER TRIAL.

court was packed this morning, Nj
Eyarts rose and began his address. II
said that whatever diversities a triu
might present, the soIicitude Of an advc
cafe knew no end. II has been true /
this case from the time when the scanda
burst, SO far as individual facts were cor
cerned, that the defendant and the lad
had not received that charity which th
scriptures taught, Europe had been try
ing America and New York had bee
trying Brooklyn, When they came to cor
slider tho defendant, at once there was a
expression Of public opinion as to wha
was right to be done by such men. Tn
result would be that unless he could prov
himself as clear as in the day Of iudg
ment no would DO able, doubts Of hi
guilt would remain always. Some tax,
the point, said Mr.. EVartS, when the scan
daI as . mater Of inspection and wise de
Liberation came in, bis client was sub
mittcd to judgments which had nothinI
do with tho case, idle proaigates o
New York believed the scandal. Wick
ed classes said that they had know
it always, and were glad to SEQ that thei
opinions were being accepted by the norC
serious classes. Many looked on Beecherl
robust frame and concluded that hi,
physical strength had overcome hil
sense OF duty and religion. The
counsel then referred to the letter
which appeared IN a western pa
per, IN relation to this case, and which
held that the man who had donosO muCl
for religion and had such drain on biz
moral system was entitled to indulge
to little extent any Of his desires,
Mr.. EVars said this was weak argu
ment. How many men would have been
shocked when Tilton aud Moulton called
them adulterers, but Beecher continued
his Masters work.
The counsel believed that when this great
preacher came to EiVo his testimony at
tho last day and render his talents uT
they would not be found wanting, nor wai
there even Six months Of the BOecher trial
lost to him, The FIRST important prOmul.
CATION grew out Of the Woodruff threat
and publications tho next that gave rise
to u popular acceptability OF Its source
was the publication Of the Bacon letter by
Tilton himself.
Eyarts then referred to the appoint
ment of tho Church Committee. Beech.
or was examined and cross.examined
The verdict Of the ak mon, said the coun'
sci, forming the committee was one that
should have satisfied all candid minded
men,at least until We had come to the di.
rect submission Of the case to the tribunal
Of Justice. Plaintiff takes his choice as
to what court he should come to, defend
ent have 10 submit to tho course the casG
have taken, THESE eminent lawyers who
tiiT has brought great advantage to bear
on tho case, BGeCher was left TO take
whatever he could get among what was
left Of the legal lumlnaries. They had
been here for five months when the
weather was as cold Hs the night which
introduced Moulton's and Beec6er's friend,
ship, and now they had got into warm
weather like that Of the second Of June
on which Mrs. Moulton smothered Mr.
Beecher's grief with an afghan. No Of
fensc, said the counsel gould better be
made against Beecher by Tilton than this
and he found tho woman who was to be
the scapegOat IN MS lii!!99ns) own Vile
the woman wh9m i9ll he Sa,a was ~ pure q
gold--anu he I!ilIpnl SWofe " tlint iit,. sue was

would strike Beecher to tho heart and
pursue him to the grave, and there was
