In favor of Beecher. TIE jury retired

The Brooklyn city courtroom is now
crowded with people awaiting the ar
rival OF counsel in the TiltOn-Beecher
case, who have been sent for, the jury
having entered court.
This forenOon.Judge Nelson received
q communication from the jury IN the
TiItou-B -Beecher case, but declined 10
make the contents known. he lmme-
diately sent for the counsel. Shortly be-
fore eleven O'Clock, Mrs, Beecher looked
in at the courtroom, returning at twelve
O'Clock, when she was loudly apPlauded
and took her seat in the front row OF the
Plymouth chains, which had been re-
placed by the Ushers Caldwell aud
Murray when it was rumOTed that the
Jury were coming into court The usual
large crowd, in the meantime. had as.
sembled, awaiting the arrival OF
counsel.
Counsel having arrived, e cOnsulta'
ton took place in Judge Neilson's room.
At its conclusion the judge took his seat
on the bench. AT thirty-seven minutes
past one O'Clock the jury came in and
took their seats, looking pale and ex-
bausted, Some Of them carried costs
and traveling-bags in their hands, from
which the audience argued that they
had come to an agreement, and were
prepared to leave the court. Judge Neil
son requested that the utmost silence
should be OF served in court during the
proceedings. Clerk Madison sailed the
iury, who answered to their names in
loud tones. Judge Nelson then said he
was sorry that the jury could not agree,
and asked them il the disputed question
was one Of fact or law.
Mr., Carpenter, speaking in low
voice, stated it was impossible for the
Jury to agree, and that he regretted it
very much. The question Of disagree
ment was one of fact.
Judge Nelson then called attention
to the length OF the trial, and said that
was the first intimatiOn be had from the
Jury in our endorsements. He said
that various considerations had been
pressed on their attention. Attention
f2s., been caiied 10 the fact that after the
argument, and before tie Charge, some
papers had been handed up to him. He
mad examined them that evening, and
denied the motion for Teopenlng the
case. Not presuming for a moment that
! the jury would forget, that subject, he
| would like to know if anything was
lingering on their minds with regard to
| the matter, and asked them if it would
! be suitable for them to state to him ally
! questions Of law or fact which disturbed
| them.
MIR. Carpenter repeated that it was
simply q question Of fact, and that no
agreement was possible; thatin month
/ they would be no nearer an agreement
than they were to-day. He said that he
spoke for eleven OF the jurors when he
said he believed that an agreement was
impossible, and that there was only one
man who believed that they could evsr
reach q unanimous conclusion.
Judge Nelson spoke to them Of the
importance of the case, and asked them
to give it their further consideration,
requesting them, for that purpose, to
retire again to their rooms and delib'
crate upon it further, and commune Ate
with him ab1utLfouT o'clock.
Mr.. Carpenter asked how they should
communicate with him, to which he re-
piled that it diG not make any matter.
Twenty minutes of two O'Clock the
Jury left the courtroom, ascending TO
their room, from which they came at
two O'Clock. Judge Nelson entered the
courtroom, and said that after due con-
sideration he had arrived at the conclu-
sion not to call the jury in to-day, aud
| he would take the opportunity OF stating
! TO the reporters in attendance that he
would give them an hours notice when
the Jury were to be cslled. The judge
then left the bench, and the courtroom
was cleared Of spectators.
Some persons in the courtroom got al
| idea from the remarks of Foreman Car
renter that the jury stood eleven to one,
| The fact is, as explained by General Ira
pey, of Mr.. .Beecher's counsel, thstMr. Car
penter simply meant to say that clever
of the Jurors had made up their min Is
that il was impossible for them to sgree
while twelfth deemed further exam
ination of the evidence desirable, anC
thought it might lead to verdict. Be
low Is the correspondence with the jury
alluded to by Judge Nelson:
'May it please the court, we thlnE
there is no possibility Of our sgreeipg OF
a verdict, and we respectfully ask TO b.
discharged.
