SCENE IN THE BROOKLYN COURTROOM

A great futter of excitement followed
the calling of Henry G. Bowen as wit
ness III the trial on the 5th instant, and
Bowen himself showed traces of consid-
erable mental agitation. The first ques-
ton going to impeach the statement of
Beecher was whether the defendant ever
did speak to Bowen to influence him in
discharging Tilton from his employment
After short and sharp wrangle the an
swer was given--Neoer! Some sensa-
ton followed Defendants lawyers were
all agog; Mrs. Beecher put her glasses
on and took notes Tilton was pale with
anxiety Moulton perspired profusely,
and all hands were considerably walked
up. After the witness had begun to re-
late his interview with Beecher on the
night the famous note was delivered,
calling on him to abandon his pulpit,
opinions began to grow confused, and
for moment the thought was uppermost
in many minds that Bowen would turn
ont witness for Beecher. Shortly after.
the witness contradicted Beecher's testi-
mony in several points. He was asked
il he received a letter from Beecher in
January. 1871 "I think did," was the.
answer that revealed the caution of the
witness, for he pulled ont the letter in
question, which proved to be the original
draft of the Tripartite Agreement. 1t was
not hazard with the witness. He had
all the papers bearing on the case neatly
folded. and promptly drew forth which
ever one was called for. The defense
contended that the award of 81 600, given
to Tilton by Bowen, was extorted by
them not to publish the scandal. Bowen
swore that the arbitration had nothing
to do with Beecher's affairs. These af-
fairs were mentioned neither in words
nor in writing.

A SoRRowFUL TERMINATIoN.--A most
distressing winding up of happy life is
that of ex-senator James w. Nye. the
first Governor and United States Senator
of Nevada. He is now in the Blooming
dale Asylum, New York, affected with
softening of the brain, from which it is
thought the grave only will relieve him.
After being SO long in public life, enjoy
ing an abundance, and surrounded BY
friends who were always cheered and en-
livened by his wit and humor, he is re-
duced to poverty in private life, and con-
signed to the living tomb of an Insane
Asylum.--S. F. CaH.

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL De
CIsION.
Nauy Vo-E- rrTIetfr


A highly important decision was re-
Gently given BY the New York Court Of
Appeals relative to the value Of ware
house receipts. The point is this: The
First National Bank Of Toledo ad-
vanced SIS, 1850 for the purchase Of
a cargo Of wheat under an agreement
that drafts should be drawn upon GER
tain parties in New York and that the
bills Of lading should be given In the
name of the bank as a security for the
payment Of the drafts When the
wheat arrived in New York it was put
IN a warehouse by the purchaser,
YhO received the usual warehouse
receipt from the warehOuseman,
and upon this the warehouseman bOr-
rOwed $4,000 from the Guaranty and
Indemnity Company. One Of the drafts
forwarded against the property was for
$4,000 at thirty days, and when it be-
came due the parties upon whom it was
drawn, being insolvent, 1t went to pro-
test. The Guaranty Company then
claimed the grain, and at the trial Of
the case a verdict was ordered in their
favor. This verdict has now been re-
versed by the Court Of Appeals, on the
ground that the grain was the prop
erty Of the bank, and that the ware
hOuseman had no right to issue any re-
ceipt to any one except the owner, as
the mere fact Of possession is no evil
dence Of title.
