NEW YORK, July THE case of Joseph
10 adtr; CHARGED with perjury and conspira-
cy in the TiltOn- Beecher case, came up in
Brooklyn to-day before the police Justices
court. Loader, his accomplice and accuser,
John j. Price, and eX-Judge $. ID. Morris.
were among the persons in court. Mr.: b. F.
of MIR. Beecher, were In the justices private
room. Among the spectators were many
faces familiar TO those who attended the
Tilton- Beecher trial. Moulton entered the
court, but went away in a few minutes. Mr..
Beecher was then called as n witness at the
request of the district attorney. He looked
over the affidavit of Loader, and was asked
If any statements in the affidavit referring
to him and Mrs. Tiltou were true in fact?
Beecher replied: There is nothing that is
true there alleged" He was then asked TO
read the affidavit made by Price i'm conrec-
ton with Loader. He testified that there
was rot one word of truth in the
allegations respecting him in the affidavit
On cross examination Mr.. Beecher testified
that ii was not uncommon for him to visit
IlltOn'S house in lN6S and go He usually
called in the morning; perhaps he had called
in the evening three or four times during his
intercourse with the family. He was then on
terms OF intimacy with the family and with
Mrs. Iilton. He was not unguarded in his
intercourse with any one, and certainly not
with any lady. His association with Mrs.
Tilson was that of a gentleman with lady.
1t was not his custom 10 salute his lady
niendS with kiss; he had
SOMETIMES KISSED MRS. Triton;
when be had been away for some time he
kissed Tiiton'S family all around, and did
not do so whea he was in the habit OF ca ling
every few days. The circumstance that he
kissed Mrs. TilIon at particular
time would not make particular
impression upon his memory; he did not
kiss her in the front hall. Never
saw Loader to his knowledge. II he
had seen him at work in TiltOn s
house he would not be likely to recollect
him. 1t was not his custom TO notice
what was going on in the private houses OF
his friends. Mrs. TiltOn had sometimes met
him ~ the door ia company with her hus-
band but he did not remember that she ever
opened the door for him. He usually spent
his visits in conversation; he had prayed
with her but only, he felt sure, when she was
sick. He judged of this by his usual custom
with his parishioners. He thought 1t very
likely that there was sofa III Mrs. Tiiton's
parlOrs and that he might have sat upon il
with her. His age was 90 years; he was
OLD ENOUGH To BE MRS. TILToNs GRAND
FATHER,
and he felt towards her like father She
was brought up in the same circle of girls as
his own daughters. He always had reason to
believe that she had a high respect for him
The examination of Beecher was here fin
ished. Witness then signed his name 10 the
record Of his testimony and left the court.
PRYOR EXoNERATED.
The district attorney said that he here pro-
posed To rest the case of the people. His
friend, Gen. Pryor, had been present. but he
told him that his testimony was not re-
qulred. He took pleasure i'm saving that there
was not shat ow of reflection upon General
Pryor in .his case as counsel or otherwise
General PryOr'S reputation as a lawyer was
well known, but some characterization
had been made upon him in the press by
those who did not know him That gentle
man was abs' lutely Incapable o. any inn
proper connection with an affair of this kind.
Moreover, he had found in his investigation
of this case that GeneIa al Pryor was brought
into IL purely by an accident, and under cir
cumstances which would deceive almost any
OHe. The counsel for the defense in the last
trial united with him in these remarks re-
garding General Pryor.
LOADER AND PRICE ROTH HELD FOR THE
GRAND JURY.
Counsel for Loader then, after a few re-
marks in his clients defence, asked for Load
er discharge. The justice denied the appli-
cation, and said that he would commit both
Loader and Price 10 await action of the grand
jury.
The usual questions were then asked the
prisoners, Price acknowledging he was
guilty, and Loader pleading not guilty.
The prisoners were then removed.
