The Coming Verdict.


Anxious crowds gathered in and about
the city court of Brooklyn this morning to
ascertain the latest developments in the
Tilton-Beecher jury matter. Judge Neil
son opened the city court room at ten
o'clock, and took up the calendar. Mr..
Tilton sat in the ante room and conyersed
with his friends. He appeared cheerful,
and did not augur any evil to his case from
the prolonged absence of the twelve. The
chairs usually occupied by the Plymouth
groupe in the court room, were all remov-
ed, and but few of Mr.. Beechers friends
occupied places In the room. The gallery
doors ere closed. The Jury were break
tasted in their rooms at eight o'clock, aud
were removed to their apartments in the
west side of the building, which is cooler.
A large crowd is collected on the green
facing the jury room windows, which are
thrown open, but they are kept at such
distance by the police that they are unable
to recognize any of the twelve.
About 4 o'clock Evarts and ex.Judge
Porter drove to the court house in a car
riage, followed shortly after by Mrs.
Beccher in another carriage. The, two
lawyers held-a brief conversation with the
lady, after which she drove away. Both
lawyers then assembled the judges cham
bers, where they were Joined shortly after
by Messrs. Hill and Sherman, and long
conference was held between them. In
the meantime Judge Nelson was calling
the calendar in the court room. Judge
Nelson reiterated this morning his deter
mna,ion not to send for the jury until they
first made that request. About 1912
o'clock his honor received message from
the jury-room, to which he replied, but no
information could be CLEANED as to the con-
tents of the note. Consultation was held
shortly after this between Evarts, Porter
and Sherman, of counsel for defense, and
Pryor and Morris, of counsel for plaintiff,
after which Evsrts and Sherman assembled
the bench and talked with Judge Nelson.
After they retired Judge Morris had a
conversation with his honor, who wrote
something in note and handed it to officer
Spaulding. Pryor and Morris then left
the court room, and on their way were
questioned by several reporters as to what
these notes and consultations meant, but
no information could be obtained from
them, as they stated that Judge Nelson
had requested them to keep silent about
the matter.
BEECHER INTERVIEWED.
A World reporter who interviewed
Beecher Saturday on Hudson river train
quotes Beecher as confident that the jury
stands eleven in his favor to one against
that he knows very well who the recalcit-
rant juror is, having been warned about
him long ago. Beecher also said Judge
Nelson will keep the jury out six weeks if
necessary, but will not allow them to go
without finding verdict that he cannot
afford it.
THE JURY TAKING 1T EASY.
Judge Nelson left the court room at FIVE
o'clock, and left instructions that should
the jury come to an agreement before eight
o'clock he should be sent for but on no ac-
count would he return To the court house
after that hour.
The jury supped at eight O'Clock and then
retired to their usual resting place for the
night, and after gazing at the crowds of
neopla assembled in Rnprum nlacp who Int
off fire crackers AMI bombs TO attract their
attention they Withdrew for the night.
Shortly after ten o'clock the court house
was locked up for the night.
