The Tiitnn-Beecner Trial.
FoRTy-NINTH DAY.--Four witnesses were
sworn for the defense-John W. Hartman, dry
goods merchants Jackson S. Schultz leather
merchant; Chas. s. Judson, merchant, and
Archibald Black The testimony went to prove
that Tilton was a morbid and egotistical man
that he had not at first charged Beecher with
adultery and that he was on terms of intimacy
with Woodruff and other woman's rights
women. The trial was enlivened by a protest
from Judge Nelson against the further intro
duction of frivolous and irregular testimony by
the defense. The immediate occasion of the
Judges remarks was dispute between counsel
as to whether the testimony of witness who
had heard Iilton say he had lost faith in man
kind was admissible. The Judge said, some
what testify: LET it stand it will do no
more harm than a lamp-post in the street
Upon this, Mr.. Evarts rose and took ex-
ception to the remark of the court, and stated
that before they were through they would show
the materiality of this evidence.
FIFTIETH DAY.-Six witnesses testified to un-
important facts One an ex-reporter Of the
New York Sun, told of Tilton's anxiety to give
the scandal to the public, and other testimony
was brought out with the object of proving
conspiracy between Tilton, Woodruff and Moul-
ton. Pastor Halliday was On the stand when
the court adjourned He was telling what took
place at a meeting of the Plymouth deacons
when objections were made by plaintiffs coun-
sci, they maintaining that the official record of
the meeting, and not Mr.. Hallidays recollec-
ton of it, was what was wanted This obiec-
ton was sustained by the court l
FFTY-FIRsT DAY-Nothing new or sensation
al was developed. An old nurse of the Tilton
family testified as to Beecher's visits to the
house at the time the retraction is supposed to
have been obtained, and as to Theodore's con-
duct at the time of his dismissal from the Brook
lyn Union and the independent. A clergyman
from Bloomington, Indiana, who heard Tiltons
lecture on Marriage and Divorce, testified as
to some of the sentiments it contained, but there
was nothing startling throughout the day.
FIFTY-sECoND DAY.-The testimony elected
was of more Importance than usual. It was
proved that Weodhull's Steinway Hall speech
was mailed as a Golden Age pamphlet, and
Hilton paid the postage on it. The old
story of Moulton's many presentations =
wherein he said that If Beechers's long life
wouldn't refute Woodruff nothing would y
was dilated upon at length Just pre-
vious to adjournment an amusing quarrel
took place among counsel over the possession
of the Plymouth Deacons' book of records.
Sherman did not want the names of the "poor
of the church" revealed to outsiders but
the other side were curious to see if Mrs

number of pretty girls attended, who were
probably never in court of justice before, and
at times they seemed alarmed lest the wrang-
ling counsel should proceed from hot words to
fisticuffs.
FIFTY-THIRD DAY.-Another bad day for Til
ton. It was Jessie Turner, the girl who occu-
