while Tilton was held up as the incarnation of
all that was egotistica, selfish, sensual, and
ignoble. Jealousy Of Beecher's great name was
according to Tracy, the incentive that led to
Tlton's attack upon him.
TIuRrY-EIaHTH DAY-Gen. Tracey's opening
argument for the defendant occupied the entire
day, and was still unfinished at the tim Of adj
journment.
THRrY-NINTH DAY.-Tracy still continued his
opening plea for the defense. He devoted
some portion Of his time to an explanation of
his connection with the case, He contends
that at certain interview with Woodruff,
Moulton and Tilton, he promised not to act AZ
counsel for Beecher, because at that time Til
toms charge was simply Improper advances !"
but afterward, when, he maintains, Tilton
changed his charge TO adultery accomplished,
he felt that he was released from any promise,
and 30 gave notice. There is now possibility,
not only of having Bowen on the witness stand,
but Tracy also.
FoRTrETH DAY.-Tracy concluded his plea for
the defense and his impeachment of the testi-
mony put in evidence by the prosecution.
Beecher and Tracy were congratulated by a
numerous crowd of gentlemen. The defend
ant was calm and unexcited, and appeared to
feel much satisfaction at the enthusiasm of his
admirers. Judging from the theories advanced
by Mr.. Tracy, the defense will try to prove l.
That jealousy of Beecher's success was Tilton's
motive for trying to ruin him. 2. That the
knowledge that Beecher possessed an undue
share of Mrs. Titon's affections was another
motive and 8. That financial endorsements
led Tilton to attempt blackmail.
FoRTY-FmsT DAY.-The examir ltion of wit
nesses for the defense commenced by the
introduction of Mr.. Edward j. Ovington, in
whose house Mrs. Tilton took refuge upon leav-
ing her husbands domicile, and where she has
ever since remained. He testified that during
her stay at his house Mrs. Tilton has conducted
herself properly receiving calls from bet few
people. Upon croes-eXaminaton, the witness
stated that Plymouth Church had paid him sew
of Mrs. Tilton and her children, and that he
expected more from the same source. A Mr..
Holmes who was President of the Young Mems
Christian Association at Winnted, Connecticut,
at the time Titon lectured there several years
ago, swore to having called at Mr.. Tlton's room
previous to his lecture, and found young lady
there, who was not fully dressed, and Tilton
lying upon the bed
