State or country. that the presence o the twelve
men In the jury box with their verdict would
hardly draw a moderats crowd. Very little Is
cared what they do at this Stage not that the re-
suit OF their deliberations win not create mere OF
less OF a sensation but their long absence has, TO
a great extent, robbed the case OF that climax 10
which the public looked forward with such
anxiety. Expressions OF dissatisfaction were as
frequent yesterday as comments on the wea her,
aud, verify, people were glad 10 turn Tom the
TtltOn- Beecner controversy to cheerful conyer-
Sation on the international rlne matca. ANY per-
son passing the Court House yesterday ana ac-
customed TO see crowds congrexa:ed in It's vicin-
tty would naturally come TO the conclusion that
the trial had not only long since terminated, but
that the jury had performed their tasK-that IL,
judging by tne scant attendance near the mem
ora0ie spot. Indeed, on ordinary occasions, the
professional lounger than IL seems TO do at this
stage OF the trial. There was nothing but disap-

THE COURT ROOM
was almost deserted and the policemen might
have as well gone asleep so lar as their services
were required IN preventing any person from
entering the precincts OF room sacred Tor nearly
SIX long months. Judge Nelson sat on the Bench
hearing libel case. Visitors popped in and out,
and altogether duller day has not been passed
since the .rtal commenced. the ante-chamber
contained the usual number OF curiosity seekers,
put all wore an expression OF longing discomfort,
dissatisfaction and disgust. There was no news.
The jury mad not been heard from and doubtless
macy prayers were offered up Tor their speedy
recovery or happy death. TAey passed good
night, IL was sao, and about as much was known
about their movements as wnen they retired
TO deliberate. IL Is 10 he hoped tnat lew OF the
twelve good men ana true are at all vain, else
they might stay out TIL dOcmsday, taking into
account the many admirers they seem to have
every hand, to say nothing OF the effect must

conceded that there Is no Likelihood OF the jury
dying from starvation. When parting Il ON them
the Chief Justice cited the well known injunction
that they were to be Kept in "A convenient place,
''wlthout food or drink, water excepted" unless
by order OF the Court. Well everybody knows the
proverbial humanity and conslderat tion of Judge
Nelson. What between "the best the market az
lords" and the choicest weeds the members OF
the Jury have had no reason to com plain. Indeed,
To see the troops of purveyors tnat trot up and
down the stairs with well Ireghted baskets no
appre nension need be entertained that the SER
wees OF any Brooklyn coroner Will be brought into
requisltion.
A CONSULTATION
Mr.. Beach's appearance at an early hour yester-
day morning created some excitement He had
not made his appearance since Thursday last and
his presence now augured some new movement.
Accompanied by MI. Pryor Mr.. Be eich proceeded
to the Judges private room shortly after eleven
O'Clock wnere Brother snearman had been In
waiting nearly an hour AT nalEpast twelve
O'Clock consultation was held between The Chief
Justice and tue counsel for both plaintlf and de-
lendant. 1t was understood tnat Mr.. Beach was
desirous Of sending for tile jury in order TO ascer
tain what points were under discussion and in
1act TO learn the meaning OF the mysterious oelay
IL was finally resolved to send communication
to the jury embracing the main points OF tue con-
sultatlon Judge Nelson subsequently, In tim ated
to the counsel tnat should tne Jury desire to come
In to court one hours notice, as previously agreed
upon, would be given to all the parties directly
interested. AT three O'Clock the probe lem.was as
Tar from solution as ever.
MRS. BEECHER
arrived at the Court House early in the morning.
In company with two other ladies ana ew
friends she remained in the corridor q few min
ana o er E s
fenuant did not put in an appearance. 1t Is
superfuous to state that Mr.. Usher Murray was up
presslons on his downy face; but with that self
sacrificing spirit which has marked his graceful
exhibitions with the camp stools he still main
tains that harlequinian activity without which rhe
Plymouth patriots would have missed valuable
friend. HIS ponderous partner stlll complains OF
bunions, and he IS Understood to have intimated
that hot weather is not at all friendly to his
wonted peIegrinations IN and around the Court
House.
BIG DAY FOR THE POLICE.
The faithful guardians oil the peace were all
smiles YESTERDAY. rney were PAID on at an early
hour, and viii doubtless ENJOY the respite their
services so wen entitle them TO. Few, II any,
complaints have been made against them during
the long, ~earying trial. and, considering the o0-
stacles against which Fney were necessarily COM
worthy commendation. TDey all deserved double
salaries.
Some face tious individual was gong she rounds
yesterday stating tnst the jury had made up their
minds not to render any verdict until the Fourth
OF July, when they would appear in the court
room, with the usual national paraphernelia, an d
tell what they thought about the Beecher- Tton
scandal At all events, the twelve men 70 whom
the important task has been entrusted OF deter

hurry about rendering a verdict; Dat nobody

TILTON.
There was time when the appearance Of any
prominent person connected with the trial any
where IN the vicinity o: the Court House was won't
TO create a buzz Of excitement. Now plaintiff or
defendant might traverse the corridors the live
long day and but lew would be exercised about
their presence. Mr.. Iiton was in and out all day,
chiefly in the company oil MIR. Morris and others OF
his counsel. lie occupied, however the same po-
sttion OF the little Micawoer groups IN attend
aEce.
THE PROCESSION OF TWELVE
Shortly before three O'Clock the juto ors descended
from the third story to the large court room
usually occupied by Judge McCue. The twelve
men saiuied Judge Nelson. who was present. and
marched into their quarters Most OF them car
RED bundles and all looked pretty well worn out.
1t was evldent from the general appearance OF the
batcn that jury duty was not regarded as a pleas
ure, especially In the dogdays
AROUND THE COURT HOUSE
the principal TOPIC OF conversation among the
various groups oil idlers and news seekers was the
In coming TO a verdict. Though the crowd was
not great on previous Gays the interest
was exhibited at the lack of news from the jury.
VaElOus theories were broached as to the cause or
the delay and discussed with warmth; but all
parties seemed 10 be unanimous in believing that
the time had come for the jury to be sent IOr, as
it is becoming evident to all that there can be
little chance OF agreement The turn AFFAIRS nave
taken In the case oil Loader and Price created a
good deal OF interest, aud many vague rumors
were afoat regarding the supposed In
tenton 10 arrest several prominent friends
OF filton for conspiracy. Opinions were
pretty evenly divided III regard TO the amount OF
credit TO be given to Loader; and his assertion,
az reported in the HERALD Of yesterday, to the
effect that ne used the name Of a man c fled New

witness 10 the alleged improper iamillaritles be-
tween sue Plymouth pastor and Mrs. Tllton, ex-
cites some comment.
"Well has the jury agreed yetY' asked coun-
tryman OF Brooklyn friend. 'Yes," sald his
frlend, with "A 1aint twinkle hnmor In his eye.
"What is the verdict ?" asked the countryman,
eagerly. "Oh, there's no verdict yet" ''rhen
what did they agree to ?r "To remain in over the
Fourth OF July, ana then send Tor the Judge and
tell MIN there's no use keeping them any longer.
