Unexpected Tactics Of the Defcns.

The testimony Of Miss Bessie Turner
was great surprise to the plaintiff S
counsel and to the public in more respects
than one. Naturally her positive manner
and astonishing disclosures made her the
most sensational witness yet advanced for
the defense. Her command of language,
not less than her power of mimicry, sur.
prised all whe saw her on|the stand. :'She
has been taking lessons IN elocution, was
remark INDUCED in by mum crs of the
audience; and the suggestion that she
had been trained by counsel was even
mo rebroadly put. One Of Mr.. Bccchc s
counsel, to whom this suggestion was re:
pcated, smiled when he heard it, and re-.
piled that ''the great difficulty had been
to repress the actress in her. ssShe is a
natural actress he added; and when it
was suggested that the cross-examination
must destroy her value as witness if
any part of her story was untrue, the
counsel unhesitatingly expressed his con.
fidcnce in her ability to stand any amount
of the most skillful cross.examination
that could be brought to bear on her.
"And, he added, ''hcr replies to Mr..
Fullerton will be as exact and positive
and as unhesitating as those to Mr.. Por-
ter. The cross-cxamination by Mr..
Fullerton will undoubtedly begin this
morning, before the recess.
But the one point in the testimony of
Miss Turner which most surprises the
plaintiff S counsel is the abandonment by
the defense of the theory of the Plymouth
Church Committee Of last year that, pre-.
vious to MIR. Tilton's appearance before
that body in 1874, there had been no
charge Of adultery; that, in fact, the
charge had at that time been suddenly
raised from Improper solicitations to
actual adultery. Miss Turner testified
that Mr.. Tilton had repeatedly charged
the odense anterior to 1873. This, of
course. indicates that the defense have no
intention to pursue the theory of the
Church Committee. It is believed that
many of the witnesses for the plaintiff in
rebuttal had been reserved in the antici-
patton that this theory would be set up
by the defense, and that it could be de-
molished with greater effect. The fact
that the defense makes no such pretense.
of course robs the plaintiff of any such
opportunity.

Tilton gloried in having written Wood

Tilton said there was not a word of truth
in the Woodruff version of the scandal,
and denied that Mou]ton put pistol to
Beecher's head. Witness saw Beecher at
Moulton's house January l, 1873; Tilton

the government at Fort Lincoln. To-day
the grain was rcplev.ned at the instance
of the party in whose possession it was

lis nelghbors have taken a different view
Of the case.
As said above, however, the exhibition
does great credit to the whole State Of
Minnesota, and, though the Association
have labored under serious disadvantages,
it is grand success.
The attendance to-day has been much
better than was anticipated by the officers
and there will undoubtedly be rush for
the coming three days. On Saturday the
receipts of the exhibition will be donated
to the Protestant Orphan Asylum. This
is most generous offer, especially when
it is remembered that the officers of the
Society have not, as is usually done,
called upon our citizens for subscriptions,
but that they have borne almost the
entire expense of getting up the show, Cor
