The Beechcr Trial.
NEW YORK, June %.
A dense crowd filled the Brooklyn
Courtroom this morning. Judge
Nelson stated that some of his jury
were in his room this morning, and
from a conversation had with them in
regard to the occurrence of last even
ing, he believed they were laEoring
under a misrepresentation. [About
what? Ed Fullerton and Evarts
made a few remarks on the same SUBJ
ject and said all the issues Beach had
To meet were there presented by the
witnesses on the stand and not those
advanced against him in the news
papers containing outside issues. Neil
son said he had observed in some of
the evening papers a paragraph to
the effect that his charge had been
prepared two months ago that he had
some time since received requests to
change it from some of the counsel,
but in Justice 10 himself and counsel
he felt compelled to state that his
charge was not vet finished, but was
in process of preparation, and that he
had not received requests to change
it. He was of the opinion that if he
was allowed to deliver the charge
first, he could do it in such a manner
as that counsel would have but few
requests to make, and these they
could advance after the charge had
been given. Fullerton and Evarts
acquiesced in this matter. Beach then
confined his summing up to the
Jury, and read a letter from Beech
err to Mrs. Tilton, in which he speaks
of birds singing in his heart, and in
which he mentions "true inward
ness" The "nest- hiding" letter was
also read.
