TYING UP THE THREADS
The Veracity Of Kate Carey
Impugned.
ADVENT OF THE DEFENDANT
He viii Positively Appear
To-Day.

The Court had assembled the jurymen and all
the lawyers except Mr.. Fullerton were in their
places when the tail, bearded Ceroerus OF the
temple OF justice threw open the entrance door
and in streamed a score OF Mr.. Beecher's friends
and relatives, led by Mrs. Beecner. The latter
was followed closely by a low.sized, stout lady,
with black hair, pink complexion aud pleasant,
laughing face. This was Mr.. Beecner's married
daughter, Mrs Scove. Next came Miss Catha-
Tine Beecher, and the end OF tEe lille was brought
up by DR.. Edward X. Beecher At noon Mr..
Beecher's eldest sister. Mrs. Perkins OF Boston,
entered the court room. Under the circumstances
II was very remarkable family gathering The
daughter appeared on the scene for the first time.
Sitting beside her mother,
THE CONTRAST OF FACES
was very striking. Youth, health, hope and Vi
yacity In the one; age, debility, care and depres-
sion IN the other. Mrs. Perkins, a tall lu proper
toned woman, with the unmistakable Beecher
type OF features, sat behind her brother DR..
Beecher. There was neither anxiety nor sadness
In her looks, but ike all the rest OF the Beecher
family who came together yesterday, she took
the situation with GENIAL fortltude.
A buoyant cheerful tone pervaded the group.
The fresh, fair lace OF Mrs. Scovllie looked up TO
her mothers with pleasant confident smile, and
tae mother Tor the first time during the trial be-
beecher with lively remark, and quickly revers-
ing her position to drop suggestion into the ear
81 one OF the counsel. The Plymouth church
people in the neighoorhood were unusually in
terested. X was settled belief with all that
Mr. BEEcHER WOULD APPEAR
In the afternoon as witness He was absent all
the forenoon. He was supposed 10 be in the COM
pany OF Mr.. Evarts, who left the court very soon
after the proceedings began. And that both were
..Vf~t -
or the defence was the general conjecture.
At lew minutes alter two O'Clock, slow and
solemn as pallbearer, ana buried In a nuge blue
overcoat, Mr.. Evarts entered the court and pro-
ceeded 10 his place. He was followed at an inter-
va OF a minute or 50 by Mr. Beecher, his face
bright and radiant, his step quick and elastic ana
MS whole bearing THAT OF man who had shaken
ID care and labor and felt in the full enjoyment OF
mora, mental and physical health All eyes were
turned on Mr.. Beecner as he proceeded toward his
seat. he was sensible or the general observation
put not in the slightest degree discomposed
The audience were on the very rack OF expecta-
lion from the time OF Beecner's entrance 10 the
close OF tne days proceedings. In the interval,
rom two O'Clock 70 the adjournment, every wit
ness VINO took the stand and left IL was supposed
70 be the last, ana then-Beecner. But up 10 tve
minutes 10 four O'Clock the me or Beecher was
never called, ana disappointment brooded over
the spectators. At that time, Just prior 10 ad-
Iournment, Mr.. Evarts rose and sale that the
next witness Tor the defendant would BIO the de-
Iendant himself. II was too late In the day 10
produce MIN, out ne would be ready TO take the
stand In the morning This intelligence revived
the dropping spirits Of The audience. An adjourn
ment till this morning was then declared by the
Court The multitude poured out into Fulton
street, ana Beecher as q witness became the
great absorbing topic OF discussion. The wits mad
noe material in the fact that Beecher appears as
witness on All Fools Day. All the humor possible
vas expended on this circumstance.
