LEGAL cRAB FISHING.
At noon the New York Bar and the Brooklyn Bar
fell aioul OF each other. MIR. Evarts and Judge
Morris were the gadiators. Mr.. Evarts wanted
the monthly nurse TO diagnose something or other
in Mrs. TOns sickness. MIR. Morris said that he
objected. Mr.. Evarts rode on with his question.
Morris heard from again. The Judge ruled
Mr. Evarts of. He put the question in another
chemical combination and Morris criticized II.

Attorney General, emphasizing the you as If he

"a don't like your STYLE" answered Norris in

Evarts replied testify. Morris rebutted with moro
loi ce than dignity. They bore some resemblance
as they stood there to the towers of the Brooklyn
Bridge, each holding its own shore. Mr.. Beach
found 1t necessary TO arise and pour oil on these
great rivals In the law. He succeeded. The cable
OF concord was stretched between the piers and
and the period in which We live continued to
move.
Morris, however, was mad. The Brooklyn Bar
had been assaed in him. he got another chance
after awhile to object again, and Mr.. Evarts asked
in concatory way what question he should
have asked.
"Ask the proper question!' said Morris with
about the same tone aud manner Evarts had
previously used.
The Judge listened with a sense Of fear at this
battle Of the Ttans, and the ventilat0rs in the
window panes ceased to hum.
O. witness, you can now inform us what was
the e1ect on Mrs. Tilton of this conversation.

The Judge-I think we must take 1t.
Aner some little argument the question was
slightly modified ana witness continued IL

cited her; he did not pay much attention, as he
walked up down the room and talked to her;
he was IN the sick room on TWO or three occa
week two or three times; there was
CONSIDERABLE CONVERSATION

Moulton; they were IN the habit OF talking IN the
hearing OF Mrs. luton; overheard them talking
on several occaslons; | remember once they said
something about the Brooklyn UniOn; l made an
objection to MIR. Mouton and Mr.. Tllton talking in
Mr. Evarts-what was the effect OF these con.
versatiOns on Mrs. fiiton
MI. Morris objected on the ground that the wit.
ness not being an expert was not competent TO
give an opinion.

times In the night to his vile; got up from

After a short consultation Mr.. Evarts asked,
Q. BESIDES the voice, did you hear any move.

judge that he was walking about.
Witness continued-Besse Turner was IN the
room at the time; she was sitting on the lounge;
sue was very much affected and dropped over at
the time when Mr. Tllton made that remark.
CONCERNING BY MODS.
Wnen Bessie Turner was inquired OF from Mrs
Mitchell the former young woman was in court,
sitting py Mrs. Snearman. She leaned forward,
smiled approval at the witness, turned and re.
peated to Mrs. Shearman and followed the whole
line OF interrogation with animation and SYM
pathy. She has lost the look OF restraint she first
wore and seems to enjoy the court room and it's

momentousness. She had blue bow tied in her
hair and wore a lace collar.

ton, AID the answer was the foregoing.
GOING FOR THE NURSE.
The examination OF Mrs. Mitchell had been
very laborousy conducted by Mr.. Evarts, as she
replied slowly, ana her teeth would have come
out as easy as her answers
Mr.. Fullerton took up a memorandum and pro.
ceeded 70 catechize her. In a minute she slipped
on dates, and had a child born SIX months after
lormer one by Mrs. Tilton. This was TOO much
progress and the rather aged witness drew out
her silver spectaces and examined little book.
