After Recess.
Mr.. Evarts said that on the 3lst OF
May, Beecher having faced the situation
produced by Titon's threat to publish
something, Tilton suddenly saw that
there was no necessity for him to pub
lish. But this matter was not settled un-
til the next day Sunday when CORES
pondence took place between Beecher
and Moulton. These letters followed the
interview in which Beecher expressed
his determination to end this policy OF
silence, and also followed the subsequent
interview of CONSERVATION between MouI-
ton and Tilton: The letters Of Beecher
precuded the idea that there was any
common CONSCIOUSNESS between these
two men; of any fault or offence, the
greater of which Bcccher, according 10
his own statement, believed himself to
have committed TO the family Of Ti!ton.
He wished the jury to judge Beecher
stripped of all his advantages as "a man
like all ofus, but he did no: wish him to
be Judged AS brute, a u protligate or
man of selfish and mcrcenary character.
He was to be Judged rs man Of refined
nature, of generous heart and OF Keen
sensibilities. 1t was preposterou> to sup
p,se that on this Sunday morning Beech
er wouldn't dare to write fresh
evidence of his guilt if he was guilty
man.
Evarts then read in the evidence in
which Beccher had resolved to contend
no longer; that all devices by which they
had tried to save themselves had proved
worthless and that Thcodore's character
was such rs to leave no hope for the tu-
ture. That is, Mr.. Evarts said MIR.
Beecher had found that the policy of
silence in spiteo all the burdens 1t had
imposed did not secure its object, then
Beechcr wrote that Tilton had con-
doned his wife, faults years before and had
made the tripartitc agreement. lie call
ed attention to the fact that Tllton had
entced Bcccncr into reconciliation
of his family troubles and also referred
to the fact that Tlton himself had made
agreement to the publication which had
stirred him .tofury. Eyarts remarked that
after all the experience of the world
after all the rays OF the sun to winch Til
ton had been exposed, his skin had been
toughencd or tanned, and his conduct in
regard to the publication of this agree
ment illustrated his character; touch his
self pride wound his egOtlsm and he
could not be right; debauch his wife and
he did not mind that. In this letter
Beecher went on to say that the prospect
of death and the hereafter was far happier
than his life, and that he would write II
statement which would bear the light of
Judgment Day; he closed by expressing
his gratitude to Frank Mouiton. Now,
Mr.. Evnrts asked, what was there of
guilt in this letter? After urgns the
improbabilty of an aduItcress writing
such letter 10 man who knew ms
guilt. he read the reply Of Moult0n in
which the latter told Bccchcr that he,
could stand If the wholec case was publish
ed tomorrow. Could Moulton, could
any man suppose that Minister of
any Christian Church could maintain
his standing, if he stood morally con-
victcd of adultery? MoUlton went on
to write that Bccchcr hal not sustained
him us he ought, and that if he had de.
pended on Bcccher's help alone, his hands
would long ago have dropped powerlnss
bv his side. That, Evarts said was the
truth. If Bccchcr's conceptions OF the

Mr.. Evarts here read the statement
drawn up for his church IN july lH'I,
by Beechcr and said thatthe defendant :
superiority to most men was shown IN
his manner of bearing sorrow ana sell
rcproachi that most men would nave
given away beneath them. II the Jury
believe that characters are not ~ iruIt-
ful provident as the looms of time ever
weaved, they may believe this YI,c ca,um-
ny is patch of the wool OF brechcr
life, and, said he, when you are asked to
accept these years Of misery, bascnesS
and trampling on the feelings
of Others, and breaking the laws
of Sinai as part of his life, YOU
are asked what surpasscs creduIity. On
the Monday morning, it Is said, after
Reechcr's last letter 10 Moulton. there
occurred an interview between Boccher
and Mrs. Moulton. and the counsel felt
Obliged to examine the traits Of it, which
rob il of all credit. Everybody would
have been clad to welcome the testimony
of Mrs. Moulton with the same confident
reliance as with which they
met tho testimony of Mrs,
Ovincton. one whose face they
