path 70 sabbath, because he joined men and
women in wedlocE, prayed over the graves OF the
dead and wore gray hairs that ne could not be
guilty OF adultery. The counsel said nothing
original and introduced little beyond what ne has
already touched on. Beecher himself listened with
an appearance OF diminished interest. Several Of
the women grew sleepy, Evarts settled himself
down into a cane oottomed chair, his chin resting
on his breast and look or intense gravity on MS
face. Mr.. Beach went calmly taxing notes,
and once in while looking up AZ Porter with

moULToN's COMING INTO COURT.
He was at times very vigorous, out on the whole
unequal. Tilton and Moulton came in for full
share OF denuncation. Moulton entered the court
room after twelve just Porter was saying thar
ne was either true man or liar, and was pro-
ceeding 20 prove him the latter. Moulton wore

Many people are 81 the opinion that Porter's ad-

They say the jury have made up their MINDS

that Beach may PRODUCES change, for no lawyer

Porter was particularly severe on Moulton for
