.BeecJ,er,s Testimony.

BROOKLYN, April I.-Mr. Fullerton
resumed his cross-examination of Mr.,
Beecher this morning as follows. Wit.
ness said:
/ saw Victoria Woodruff in June, 1871,
at Mr.. Tilton's. had an interview with
her there. l think this was after the
publication of her card. l think the In
terview lasted ten minutes. saw her
next in the autumn OF 1871, about the 20th
of October, think, at the time of the
yacht race.
Fullerton read letter dated Novem-
ber 10, 1871, III which she desired to have
an interview with him, asking justice
from those who had the right to give it
70 her. l took this letter to Moulton,
who dissuaded me from answering it,
and said he would manage the matter
for me.
Next morning witness went to Moul-
toms house and mad an interview with
him. Woodruff and Tilton were also
there. Moulton asked witness to have a
talk with Woodruff, which witness did.
No one was present at the interview but
Woodruff and witness. The conversa-
tion lasted half an hour. Witness told
Noulton and Tilton the substance of the
interview.
9The second letter was request to pre-
side at the National Woman Suffrage
Convention in Washington. Witness be-
heved he showed the letter to Moulton,
but did not counsel him, solely for the
reason that he was the one who held the
secret of the scandal. In answer to
Fullerton, witness said he consulted
N0ulton on many things besides the
ss,,,,s.,;;SSct Of the scandal, but could not
recall any.
Counsel then referred to another letter
in the Woodhull-CIaflin Weekly, in
which Beecher upheld the doctrines Of
was OF the opinion the letter was longer,
but denied that Moulton had intimated
anything from it.
Mr.. Fullerton read from witness state
ment of last summer, in which he said
he often expected never to leave the pull
pit alive; that he was often attacked
with giddiness. The statement also re-
ferred to the last time he saw Mrs. Tilton,
having a feeling he would never again
zee her alive.
Witness continued, have for long
time had violent symptoms which mis-
interpreted, and which are delusiye. At
the time wrote this statement did not
nut forth these symptoms as q reason for
my letter Of February 8, 1871, to Mrs.
Tiit0n, and what 1t expressed to her in
not being alive many days.
lii consulting my physicians became
convinced that / suffered from cerebral
oyeraction and that snould die of apo
plexy, and when l wrote that letter I
had a strong premonition that my end
was drawing near. The instrument by
which expected to be removed, was by
the Sovereign hand OF God. did not
expect would be translated like Elijah,
: but as Henry Ward Beecher would be
fGod took him. Witness did not recall,
y at this time he made any insurance on
his life,
