THE LAWYERS II THE CASE.
rTroat, tho Su, I

1t was said last evening that six lawyers
are employed on various branches of the
defense who have not been identified
with the public trial. Mr. Beach, ex-
Judge Fullerton, Mr.. Morris, and Gen.
Roger 4. Pryor have contributed their
services to Mr.. Tilton, who is without
means There is a mortgage of over
5000 or the Livingston street property
III favor of some wards OF Franklin Wood
ruff, and his only revenue is twenty five
cents n volume ON the sales of "Tempest
Tossed" He has procured loan on his
paintings, and by this he has paid the
current expenses of his suit. Mr. Morris
told Mr.. Tilton before the Investigating
Committee were through with their work
that he would serve him if he needed legal
counsel, and when Mr.. Tilton was arrest
ed and taken before Justice Riley, Mr..
Morris was retained. Ex-Judge Fuller
ton entered the case through Mr.. Moul-
tons influence, and when n senior cOun-
sci was needed, and Mr.. Beach was APP
piled to, he said that in spite of Mr.. Til
tons inability to POI a retaining fee, he
would enter the case. Mr.. Moulton is
paying none of the expenses of the suit.

OBJECTS OF PITY.
New York Dispatch. !

Mr.. Beecher is visibly getting aged,
since the trial began There was little
sign of life or activity in him to-day, and
he frequently remained gazing moodily
into vacancy as if he had lapsed into one
of the fits of dependency Moulton at
tributes to him. While Judge Fullerton
was reading, in Beecher's beautifully
worded letter to Moulton, 60 feel that L
am preaching my last sermon, and am
spending my last Sunday" etc, Mr..
Beecher listened sadly and rehectively,
as if overcome by the recollection OF the
feelings which oppressed him when he
penned that letter. Indeed, it is clear
his days of gallivantin', if ever he was a
little naughty, are over. There is some
thing, too, in Tilton's eyes and pale, sad
face, that must excite sympathy. The
Beecher family group is quite "A picture.
Every day, the venerable, white-haired,
and thoroughly lady-ike wife, and the
great master of oratory, whose fame is
worldwide, sit side by side, with
Beecher's left hand frequently passed
voer the shoulder of his wife, or resting
there lovingly, and son beside each.
To disinterested spectators the whole
scene is "A painful one and both the
plaintiff and the defendant are objects of
pity.

HOW THE SCANDAL BEGAN
From the proo'ylyn SUM-

There are but few people who know
when and where the first publication was
made which laid the foundation
of the great Tilton-Beecher scan
dial suit. 1t devolves upon the
Sunday SIN reporter to give to the
public an interesting story about the scan
dial, which is published for the first time
to-day. -Four or five years ago vague
and indefinite rumors limited at unfriendly
relations between Mr.. Tilton and the
pastor of Plymouth Church. Not until
about two and half years ago We're the
real sentiments of L. L. made known. AT
that time he was endeavoring to obtain n
certain sum due him from that large
headed, meek and lowly Christian,
Henry C. Bowen. Mr.. Tilton was editor
of the GOiden Age then, and while in
litigation with Bowen wrote an article
entitled, GA Personal Statement" In
this statement Theodore charged old
Bowen with having written letter from
Woodstock on June is, 1863, in which,
speaking of Henry Ward Beecher, he
said 81 sometimes feel that L must
break silence" 1t was the first statement
made by Mr.. Tilton in the Golden dge.
For some reason it was suppressed. Sew
eral weeks after proofs of the article were
handed around for examination among
certain well-known journalists of Brook
Ign. The article was submitted to
Thomas Kinsella, editor of the Eaglc,
but he refused to publish it. The proof
finally fell into the hands of W. VI. Null
doom, now a reporter on the New York
Tribune. He copied the article and
returned the proof. Several weeks after

EFFECT OF MOULTON'S TESTIMONY.
IRON the Worldl

Each hour of Mr.. Moultons examina
ton makes his testimony clearer,
simpler, more direct AS he grows
accustomed to the place the jury
grow accustomed to him, and the
letters, in the setting his clear answers
give, read with Mr.. Fullerton matchless
emphasis, are listened TO with an empha-
sis which the familiar sentences did not
win in Mr.. Morris's opening speech. All
this is more or less easy i'll direct exam
nation. 1t is none the less easy for Mr..
Moulton's marvellous preparation. He
never wanders from the point I; he volrln-
teers no more testimony than the ques-
ton requires with ease he connects
Mr.. Beecher in legal fashion with in
formation whose relevancy Mr.. Evarts
loudly disputes. He has not proved, for
all his long intimacy with the case and
his personal interest in the plaintiff, one
of those dangerous, willing witnesses who
need perpetual check from counsel and
admonition from the court. Only once
or twice has Mr. Evarts caught him in a
blunder, and then ready apology has
disarmed criticism. Men do not come
to know by instinct the limitations of le-
gal testimony, and deal OF study and
much careful coaching must have formed
part of Mr.. Moulton's training for the
stand. All this is gradually having its
effect. Mr.. Evarts interruptions grow
less frequent. The audience are growing
sober.

JUDGE MORRIS PERORATION-AN Flo
QUENT APPEAL


Oh gentlemen, what scene is this,
what spectacle we behold here to-day
On the one side you see man of vast
prosperity, surrounded by powerful
friends, with unlimited resources. On
the other side you see man powerless
and poor, coming to you from desolate
home. Already he has been made the
victim of foul charge, then the victim
of vile SANDER, and then again the vic
tim OF II foul persecution, unparalleled
for power and relentlessness. And what
has he done Why, he was the chance
possessor of loving and beloved wife,
of happy and of an innocent home,
which his bosom friend, his lifelong
bosom friend, his pastor, his spiritual
adviser, taking advantage of that friend
ship, taking advantage of his absence
and taking advantage of his sacred call
ing, has dispossessed and despoiled him
of. That home is desolated, the hopes
of that family blasted, the pillars of that
household have been pulled down upon
the idols of his worship, and naught but
desolation reigns there Oh, gentlemen,
you who have children, you who know
what it is to return from your daily labors
to the bosom of your happy family, can
appreciate the wrongs and the suffering
that my unhappy client has endured but
it is to you, as fathers, and as brothers,
and as husbands, that we come with our
case, and as you love your homes, MS you
love your families and your children, as
you regard the sacredness of your homes
and as you reverence virtue and respect
the sanctity of the family altar, 1 call
upon you in the name of all that has
been violated, L call upon you in the
name of Christianity, by the teachings of
the Savior upon the Mount, by the law
Numbered from Mount Sinai, by every
consideration that is near and dear to us
on earth, call upon you to brand the
seducer as his crime deserves to be
branded.
Let it be written on every door
throughout the land {: "Death, destruc-
ton to the seducer ;" and when you have
rendered that verdict you will receive the
prayers and blessings of every virtuous
mother and of every virtuous daughter in
the land, and n peaceful conscience will
follow you through life, will be with you i'll
the last solemn scenes of earth, and con-
sole you when at last you stand with your
life-record before the everything God.
Applause.

TILTON VS.. BEECHER.
Incidents of the Great Scandal Trial.
ON THE WITNESS STAND.
[From the New York Tribune.l

MOULION On The WITNESS STAND.
tFrom the New York Tribune.l
Moulton entered the room and quickly
took the witness chair, laying "A package
of papers on the floor beside him. Mr..
Beecher looked him in the face, and dur
ing the remainder of the session rarely
lost sight of him. Mr.. Moulton crossed
his legs, folded his arms in the Napole-
onic manner and looked at the audience,
but so many eyes met his gaze that his
face redeemed and he manifested some
nervousness. He swung from side to side,
took knife from his pocket and played
with it, Strengthened himself and then
drummed with his fingers on the arm of
the chair. His voice was clear mt the
outset, and it was evident that he intend
ed, if he could, to answer the questions
with prompt, business-hke precision, like
a man of the world. The first impression
which he made was rather favorable, his
answers being frank, unstudied, and I'M
affected but the pauses between the
words soon became longer, and some of
his rejoinders were given in lisping,
careless manner. When he identified
the letters he was studiously careful,
subjecting every page to rigid scrutiny,
and only asserting after he had called
them back and glanced at them again.

tees, and Mr. Tilton threatened to shoot
him if, by such confession, he should
destroy Mrs. Tilton's character.
VERY FUNNY.
fCor. Chicago Times. !


Among other bits which tickled
the church people in court to-
day, was Moultons statement that
Beecher, speaking of DIR. Storrs' speech
before the council, said Storrs' speech
had been an unspeakable outrage such
speech fought to damn Storrs. Several
of the Beecher party stopped their heads
and smiled, and the light of smothered
smile twinkled in Beechers eyes. An
other was the testimony that Beecher
said to Moulton that Sherman, who is
clerk of the church, and staunch sup
porter of Mr.. Beecher, is mischief
maker. The audience staggered Shear
man held down his head Mrs Beecher
laughed Mr.. Beecher, after desperate
effort to retain composure, gave merry
smile.

BATTLE OF THE BOUQUETS.
New York Telegram.l

Immediately after the ladies took their
seats, Mr.. Caldwell, prominent deacon
of the church, and n very busy man at
the trial, lifted large bouquet from
alongside of one placed at the end of the
table opposite Beecher, and in rather an
ostentatious manner, crossed over, hold
ing the bouquet aloft, and, with low
bow, presented it to Mrs. Tilton. The
ladies smiled and waved their fans. Mrs
Tilton blushed with pleasure. Now this
little incident aroused the envy and in
dignation of the few friends Tilton had
in court They whispered to each other
This was done i'll full sight of the jury,
and their souls were up III arms to make
a counter demonstration. Stamps were
put together, Il florist who happened
be in court was interviewed, and he re
tired with the cash. Just here, Tilton,
with his sad face, his high shoulders, and
his long wavy hair, becoming premature
his fast friend, Moulton, with his red,
good face, his long, tawny hair,
and heavy brown mustache, crossing
his face like Diana's bow. Moulton car
ried red leather bag containing the
documents on the construction of which
depends the fate of the Plymouth pastor.
Soon after Moulton had taken the
stand, court officer approached Tilton,
and, with n whispered message, present
ed to him three magnificent bouquets,
the perfume of which permeated the
courtroom. One of the bouquets was
of immense size, composed of rare and
costly flowers, and was surrounded by an
elegant border of purple leaves and imita-
ton lace. The plaintiff seemed deeply
affected by this mark of consideration
from unknown friends This little in
cident did not, to all appearances, escape
the notice of the Beecher party, who
were sitting III full view of Tilton; for
just then there was whispering between
Beecher, his wife, and their friends be-
hind, all looking in the direction of Til
ton, and smiling as if they considered it
all a put-up job.
BEECHERS PROPOSED RESIGNATION.
In the course of the opening argument
for Tilton, Judge Morris presented the
following letter of resignation, which
Mr.. Beecher wrote after the Woodruff
expose, but which Mr.. Moulton mislaid
until lately:
To the Trustees Of Plymouth Church:
tender herewith my resignation of the sa-
cred ministry of Plymouth Church. For two
years have stood with great sorrow among YOU
in order TO shield from shame a certain house
hold. Since recent publication makes this no
longer possible, resign my ministry and retire
to private life. HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

An early publication would necessarily have
