A QUESTION OF COURTESY.
An issue OF etiquette among counsel arose before
recess. Mr.. Tracy showed Moultcn q paper. saia
10 have been an unpublished response OF Mr..
Beecher to the Woodruff publication. Moulton
said he never had seen 1t before. Judge Fullerton
asked to look at it, but both Tracy Evarts
argued hat they need not show 1t, as the witness
had not identified it, The Judge appeared to pre-
fer that counsel should settle the ques ton among
themselves. The defence would not deliver up
the letter and Fullerton sat down dumpy.
New evidence was brought forward as 10 the
publication OF rhe Golden Age article IN Brooky n
sunday paper, which the defence claimed to have
been furnished by nton TO Jonn w. Harmon Tor
publication 1t Is to be the theory OF tue defence
that this article was employed to force the S. 900
out OF Beecher to support the Golden Age as It Is
claimed 10 have been published April 20. ana the
$1,000 was paid by Beecher May2
At this period the cross examination was very
earnest. Tracy walked forward nearer the wit
ness and detained his questions. MS whole arm
extended and his fist doubled. The Judge
shrewdly relieved the witness when he tried to
read his own execrabe handwriting by saying
"the stenographer may read iJ.'
DUBIOUS SUNSHINE
Moulton-I do not recollect the publication OF a
iterated against Mr.. Beecher in the SatndGy san;
believe saw the letter you have just handed me
it; my impression is that was tod that it was in

appeared, ana then was tod Of the publication
OF Tie letter OF Mr.. TftOn to Mr.. Bowen in the
Eagle; do not remember whether was told 1t

learned that subsequently; believe that was the
first publication; 90 not reco.iect Of any ether;
do not know how they got hold OF that letter;

ing for IT.: another emergency was talked about
al er that publications.; tnink IG created good
deal OF excitement either saw Mr.. Beecher or
he came to sec me about 1t; the letter OF Mr..
Triton 20 Mr. btyen, alleging CHARGES OF adultery
against MI. Beechcr, preceded the trpartite agree
ment: recoect receiving the $1,000 on Mag 2;
] DON'T recolect the date that he agreed TO give
me the $4,000 don't recollect that my first talk
with Beechsr ABOUT the money was alter the pub

assent OK silence.
