whole attention, relieving the pastor
himself from the drudgery of the work.
His industry is astonishing. even i'll
this age OF fever and zeal. How he can
even methodize and make available the
vast quantity of minutes and data is a
mystery. His queer, little, Oriental
face, bent down nearsiehteIly to his
work, is one Of The features of the trial.
With him chiefly Mr.. Beecher person
ally confers during the sessions, while
he is taking not s when some sugges-
ton enters his pastoral mind.
The bulldog of the case for the de-
Tense is Tracy. HIS large, rough, bur
ly figure, grizzied face aud beard and
visual obliquity, give Inn truly a
formidable appearance. He has Il loud
voice and knows its power, and, when
he speaks III the trial, he can be heard
in the corridor, and courtyard.
The third counsel, John L. Hill, was
expected to do the fierce and more re-
morseless cross questioning on Tilton
and Moulton, but he has been for some
days silent. Mr.. Hill is counsel for
both Plymouth Church and Beecher,
is thirty-ive years Old, and came to
Nev York seven years after he gradua-
ted at Union College, in 1872. He Was
counsel for Mrs. Fieii il the suit of
Field VS.. Kinsella, and is chiefly re-
maikuole Cor making the most of the
safe side of the bar he occupies, where
tt witness can but answer AID a lawyer
can bully. Hill is a Icund-headed,
biack-eyed, doubling sort of Il man.
He looks on every Juror ana witness as
# he presently expected TO prove him a
scoUndrel.
These three are the home managers
Of Mr.. BeecheT's side. They are all
devoted and constant, and between
them and the principals on the other
side there IS ve.,y little ~congeuiality,
and IN some cases non ut all. Mr..
Shearman speaks to neither Moulton
nor Tilton. Mr.. B5ec. er has bowed to
Mention during the trial.
1t Is a sorry case ou every side, but
with relieving lights upon the general
ENHANCEMENT and contradictory drift.
H DEPENDANT II COURT.
Thete sits the great clergyman in
open court, beside his aged wife, with
four sons almost daily grouped around
him. His noble forehead rises like a
dome of thought ard hive of winged
f~aEcies, which fit IN and ont like ever
busy bees, bearing and contributing
sweetness. His eyes, of the color of
the morning sky-a pale, Clear blue,
arc now raised III confidence and en-
treaty to the armament, and again are
closed as if to shut ont the vision of
this long and uncongenial warfare. He
has never, save once, III bis defense be-
fore the church committee uttered q
threat or a defiance to his younger as
saiiants. OF course he was compeliea
to DO 50 when be swore ont the affidavit
requisite to bring the SANDER suits.
1t is this which intensifies the pail Of
darkness and the long nightmare of
this mystery. The oaths both sides
have taken in support of their positions,
unless there can be right on both
sides of such q question, or one side be
the victim of n horrible Eallucination
which has diguised falsehood in the
vainest of Illusions, there must be per-
jury sOmewh, re- in that court, and per
jury is 4 of the wardens of the Jail.
Who is it that is looking through the
gates? Which is the desperate side?
ETO AMONG THE LAWYERS.
The plaintiff, cmbowered among his
counsel, is az elderly Tilton, preserv-
ing il his beardlt SIS, but somewhat fluffy
face, traces Of The Slight, tall youth
who Used to walk the streets OF Brock
lyn a social idol, his head like Saui's, a
sa;atation fOr him at every turn. and
stride the stag of the Iyc@um5 to lee
tura Wit all rile confidence Of one well
learned in worldly estate, public opinion
and public intent ,Gs. Suddenly the
news grew vaguely that he was a5tray
and On false paths. Next, that hc was
out Of relation with every former asso-
citation in polite ana religion. Finally
a story WAS biurted upDu the yrorld
