hy Mr. Evarts and more than once the lawyers be-
came so entangled in their exceptions and protests
that ID engaged all the ingenuity of Judge Nelison
TO strai ghten them out.
Yesterday witnessed one Of the most adroit pieces
of ross-examination which the trial thus tar mas
developed II was conducted by Nh, Tracy, but
directed By Mr.. Evarts and aided IN By Mr. shear
man. For some reason or other the counsel for the
defense were extremely solictous of getting before
the iury letter of w. Il. Clark OF Ire
GoIdsnAoe which on the direct examination too
basty obje ;tion on their part had ruled out
It's importance was not very apparent to the audi
ence unless the fact that II emphasized the tnan-
cial embarrassments of Tlton about the time that
the policy of "Grace, Mercy and Peace y was aban-
doned about year ago. Whatever the reasons, the
counsel appeared determined to get this letter IN
and often the Judge ruled that 1t had not Deen
sufficiently identihed-aRd he 80 ruled three
times-Mr. Tracy returned 70 the attack Win
o question OF two, and Mr. Evarts thereupon pased
a new argument. At last. evidently abandoning the
hope of securing Ite admission Mr.. Tracy began q
series of questions each OF which embodied one OF
the many declarations contained in Mr. Cfarks let
ter so that IN the end the jury heard the whole let
ter read Mr. Tracy took paine to do this as openly as
possible making effort to conceal from the oppos-
ing counsel the fact that he literally reading the
letter: the same tactics had been employed by the
counsel of Mr.. Tilton, and Mr. Tracy was therefore
not afraid of interruption But the purpose of the
questions thus cited was betrayed TO the witness,
who declined to remember anything it contained.
II he had answered in single instance that he had
spoken to Mr.. Beecher of any of the circumstances
mentioned the whole letter would have been admis-
sble. But Mr.. MOulton's memory sgnally failed
him in this important instance
The sharpest and most amusing passage of arms
that occurred among the lawy yesterday was be-
tween Mr.. Evarts and Mr. Fullerton and it illus
trates fairly the quickness of thought sometimes
displayed in the court Just before the clos
ing of the cross-examinaton there was long pause
It's length wearing out at last the patience of Mr.
Fullerton, be asked the Court if there was NO way
to make the other side go on.
How better can we go onT asked Mr. Eyarts
why, by going on" sharply replied Mr.. Fuler-
ton.
Perhaps You would go on if you we're on our
side" said the defendants counsel.
mo-" significantly reioined Mr. Fullerton, if
were your side would not 90 on"
1t was announced by Mr.. Fullerton at 4 o'clock
that the witness desired TO 60 away soon as pos
sible but would probably be ready to go on again
this morning. The court adjourned Immediately.
