The TiItnn-Beecher Trial.
TwENTY-sEvENTH DAY.-1ilton was still on
the stand under the examination of Mr..
Evarts. The witness was unusually cross him
self, and lost his balance at times. He admitted
that the scandal was first published through
him. Judge Nelson informed the jury that he
had received note informing him that persons
in the rear of the jury-box were in the habit of
Intentionally discussing the testimony in the
hearing of jurors. He warned all such persons
that if they repeated the offense, they would be
severely and summarily dealt with.
TwENTY-EIGHTH DAY.-The ross-examination
of Tilton was continued by Mr.. Evarts. The
latter read letter which was written by the
witness explaining the Winsted Conn affair."
He said the lady was a protege of his wifes.
She was staying at the same hotel, but there
being no fire in her room and stove in his, she
had come into his room to share the heat and
sat by the fire, reading to him, while he lay on
the bed. He was questioned closely regarding
his relations with Victoria Woodruff. He said
he never visited her more than dozen times,
0pOAA"
witness stated that among his personal ac-
quaintances was Bishop Gilbert Haven, who
was frequent visitor ct his house previous to
the commencement of this trouble.
TwENTY-NINTH DAY.--The courtroom was
densely packed, Notwithstanding the terrible
condition Of the weather. The cross-question-
ing of Tilton by Evarts was continued, but no
fresh developments we're made. Counsel oc-
clipied most of the time in reading Tilton's
True Story" and calling upon the author to
verify each of it's allegations. 1t was very
dull day, the proceedings being wholly unin-
tellgible to the audience, for the most part
and not very interesting, although important as
indicating defense's theory concerning Tilton's
conduct in the tripartite covenant and I'll COM
position of the Bowen letter, which probably
will be that he was trying to keep the scandal
open for purpose.
