THE BEECHER-TILTON TRIAL.
Letter From IL Wheeling Gentleman.
NEW YORK. January u.

Editors of the Register.
A determination to see and hear some
thing of the great scandal case between
Titon and Br"chcr induced me, yrstrr-
duy. to wrud my WAY 10 the Wall street
Ferry where | found goodlv number
ot passengers. many of whom. upon my
arrival at the City Court Hou-" of Brook
lvu. | found had not separated from me.
Within the rotuuda of the build
inc. scattered here and there, were
groups of persons discussing tie uUaL
Following the crowd | a>,rnded the
stairway lu the hall which leads t. the
Court room, and among all the various
offices and rooms there WAS nu danger
uf mistaking the one, No. 2" where
q, trial WAS going Oh. Tor every avenue
%. approach was filed. except narrow
ya.Iwav, which WAS left open by the
r.r,istent efforts OF squad of policemen.
s., despairiug, made II bold dart and
.urerrdrd in getting alongside of an at
,a.Arr of the Sheriff who Vigilantly
guarded one of the side entrances to the
Court room. and L. whom ! made
most earnest suppHcation for
admission. To my surprise, he was
a,t snappi,h nor indifferent to my re-
quest, hut promptly suggested rusc
uuirh. he thought, would accomplish the
uhi,s. | had in view lie directed me to
tell the policeman, who kept watch and
ward over the main entrance, that | WAS
Il member of the bar from New Jersey,
and assured me | would at one" gain ad-
mission. Whether from my incrcduiUuS
ara or doubt, ~ 10 its being Il practical
Joke, he went with me, and in rather
loud voice uttered the talisuunic words
which caused IN" policeman at once to
open tn" door. Upon entering the Court
room. ! found every available space oc-
cupied and no line of drmarcaton be-
tween the lawyer, and purtie, ON either
side of the case, and the vast crowd of
spectators the Judge and Clerk alone
occupying separate positions. However,
upon more careful scrutiny, | found
there were three long tables. around
which sat about 40 reporters, and two
smaller ones for the parties and attorneys
directly connected with the case. For
tunatciv | worked myself into position
