Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. He will
be in attendance at Court all Sunday, but
will permit no communication from the
Jury except the announcement Of ver-
dict. lie declares he will not open Court
again tonight, even for verdict, We
have waited for 1t all day, and have been
kept up by never.ending reports Of all
sorts and sizes. The trial Is the all alb
sorbing theme in Brooklyn, and there is
much rancor in the disputatiOn. During
the whole day the Court and its ap-
proaches have presented
KALEIDOSCOPE SCENE OF FEvERIsIG
ACTIVITY.
In tho corridors the tramp tramp,
tramp, il like TO the roar and hustle Of
Broadway. During to-day ut least twenty
thousand persons must have gone In and
out. The permanent quantity remains
about one thousand. Inside the Court
there was quiet in but one spot, That
island Of rest, in the midst Of so much
ieyerish activity and inCessant motion,
was the chair occupied by Mrs. Beecher,
who sat patiently waiting.
On entering the court at II this morn
ing, | was informed by Judge Nelson that
he had not yet heard q word from the
Jury, knew nothing Of their mind. The
most respectable news have been able
to get Ia that they stand ten for BeeCher
and two for Tilton, only one Of whom Is
obstinate, A newspaper spy managed to
get on top OF distant building, from
which, with powerful telescope, he could
see into the jury.room, and he happened
to catch sight Of the entire group when
they were takinga vote by show Of hands.
They
STOOD TEN TO TWO.
During yesterday and Thursday the
effect of the absenteeism Of the Jury was
regarded rs favorable to disagreement.
The effect now Is regarded as favorable to
ultimate agreement. II Is argued that
they would not remain 30 long together
without asking to be discharged, II there
were not such hope.
Mr.. Eyarts discredited all rumors about
the Jury, smiling complacently and re-
marking that the indications could not
be analyzed by any rule OF evidence. Mr..
Porter, speaking Of the jury, said: ut
Is not wonderful that they should be care
full in this case. There are but few hasty
men on this jury, and they will doubtless
give time to hear the views OF all, and to
have full expression before making up
their minds finally" Morris yet saws that
Tilton has eight Jurors, and will get
verdict, but Morris is ready for another
legal struggle.
When Judge Nelson was asked wheth-
er lie would
SEND FOR THE JURY,
lie replied: ~ never did send for Jury
until theS said they wanted to come In,
and / shall not do so in this instance.
Who knows but might interrupt them
just as they were about to agree, and 10
prevent such happy contamination"
In regard to discharging the jury, his
Honor said he could not take any such
action without full consultation with
counsel on both sides, and nothing Of the
kind had been even suggested.
Mr.. Abbott says II would be premature
to answer questions in regard to what the
defendants side would do In case Of n
disagreement.
Mr. Shenrman says that Beecher's
counsel are ready for another trial ut any
time.
About the new evidence hc said: "Oh
lot them bringit on! We want to have a
chance 10 get nt IL"

on the result Of the Bcecher case at all
the sporting houses and pOOl-rQOms, last
evening. The betting was ten to two in
favor Of disagreement, and has chang.
ed since to the Acknowledgment Of the
defendant.
When the Jury changed rooms to-day
they were seen by a few spectators. Most
Of them looked serious mud langui1, but
some were yet lively. Outsiders who sc.
cure place Of vantage can occasionally
get glimpses Of the jurors arguing earn.
cstly with each other, and there are frc-
quent signs that they are balloting.
WHEN rltroN PUT IN AN APPEARANCE,
this morning, he looked cheerful but
grave, as he talked with Judge Nelson
and his counsel. When asked, "Wlat Of
the prOspectT he replied: "Well, think
the Jury will disagree, or at least there
will be two or three men who favor my
side. The jury are very apt 10 argue 10
themselves that l shall lose nothing by
having my wifes innocence proclaimed,
and that BeeCher and his church, and re.
ligion itself, would lose great deal by a
verdict against him. That Is probably the
way the Jury will argue, as a great many
not on the jury argue" TiltOn said this
with the air OF man who was sick Of the
whole business.
Mrs. Beecher, with her escort, ex-Judge
Porter, who has carried himself toward
her with the gallantry Of an old knight
errnnt, occupied her ordinary place in
the middle Of the court but her husband
was not present al any time. She was en-.
couragrd and cheered by the companions
ship Of joyial looking, lorid.compleX.
ioned, gray.haired lady, who has n pleas.
ant word and smile for everybody. Mrs.
Beechcr has come to be no longer so much
the cynusure Of neighbOring eyes as
THE CYNosURE or HEARTS.
As The weary minutes wore away, the
brave old woman put her jeweled hand 10
her head, naxen with age and care, and
seemed lost in reverie.
About n hundred men camped out all
night on The gteensward around the Court
House, watching the windows Of the jury
room, In which thedistfacted Jurors could
oCcasionly be seen wandering about. Ju.
ror jeffrey was the first ohep the twelve
10 expose the soles Of his boots on the
window sill at daylight. II led to an an.
mated debate on the green below, and
the prevailing opinion was that he wore
mines. The room in which the jury have
been locked up during the last two nights
Is furnished merely with a few tables and
q dirty carpet, on which they lie down for
sleep.
JUDGE NELSON
remained all day about his chamber, adj
Joining the court roomi in his shirt-sleeves,
waiting for developments, smoking cigars
and chatting with inquirers. He was a
sort Of sem-ambulatihg sponge. The
Judge having heard that the special off,
GERS having charge Of the panel were
holding communication with the jurors,
warned them on the subject. The law
