New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-04-07
MINOR DENIAIS.

In his testimony, Mr.. MOulton swOre that early 10
January 1871, Mr.. Beecher had suggested that Mt.
TIlton ought TO 90 TO Europe for few years. Mr.
Beecher swore yesterday that there was some re-
mark of that sort made by Mr.. Moulton. casually
dropped in ordinary conversation, but 1t made no
serious impression on the witnesses mind.
A part of Mr.. Ttons testimony was read relative
to the scene at which he alleged the parentage OF
the child Ralph was talked over and Mr.. Beecher's
attention called TO the fact that at the close of that
interview, Mr.. Beecher burst into tears, and ex-
pressed great grief and misery. Mr.. Beecher not
only denied that the conversation in any way re-
ferred TO the child, but also asserted that
it was pleasant, hopeful interview, and
al its close the " last thing that was done to
kiss each other all three around. and, he added,
did not burst into tears for that"

THE GROUND OF OBJECTION.

Mr.. Fullerton-I suppose, IL your Honor
please that the counsel claims 20 prove what occurred
at the interview 10 which the Witness attention now
called upon the strength of your HonoTs ruling when
tho question ap TO what occurred az the inter
view some where about the middle 81 December. when
Mr. Beeeher called In by Bessie Turner 90 the house
NJ Mrs. Morse and there had an interview with MIS-
Tton; your Honor Will perceive that the reasons FOR
admitting the particulars Of that interview do not apply
TO the which attention is now drawn. That wa.
an interview before the charge made n called for
what occurred between Mr. Beecher and Ms luton with
reference to a separation Of Mrs. Ilton ~ her hus
band. n admitted for the purpose OF showing
what her state Of mind was as 90 her hus-
band. and what the domestic condition OF the
family was at that time anterior 10 the charge made
by Mr. Tilton against Mr.. Beecher. which was on the
night OF the 30th Of December following. Now, your
Honor will perceive that the charge was then and there
made whatever IL charge nplcating SIR Beechcr
and Mrs Tton and certainly would be novelty II the
interviews between these two persons when the chargs
then resting upon them and there wa every motive

attitude where they could yndcate themselves cond he

entirely different from that which enabled your Honor Ia
decide that the interview Of the 18th or 10Th OF Deem
ber whichever day II was admissible In this case
cannot for my lie upon what principle ms evidence
can be admitted The interview is said % have
been in the Fall OF 1871. II s an inter
view that I never heard Of before; ! DO not
know how 10 brought about nor % ! know what
the object Of the interview bur surely ought not
TO affect the rights Of the plaintiff in this eso hecause

isted, and IL became Mr. Beccher and Ma llltou'
whether the charge the greater or tr css ~
10 demean themselv when together that they might
vindicate themselves against that charge Mr. Thion
ought not TO held responsible for nor ought hts nights
TO he affected in the slightest degree bT what took place
between these parties in the Fall OF ISL nearly one
year after the charge made. A. matter OF course
IL would be very easy for parties under these r.cn-
stances 10 manufacture a state OF things which would
result 70 their benefit and TO the injury Of The accusing
party The law does favor such things ani there
fore we object 70 the evidence.
