New YORK, June 3.-The- follow
ing report Of The Beecher-1ilton case
to-day is furnished by the Evening
Post in advance of the publication Of
that newspaper:
There was a large attendance to-
day. Mr.. Evarts, Mr.. Porter and Mr..
Abbott were late, coming into court
at lOsminntcs past III Mr.. EYarts
apoiogized for the delay by saying ii
was due 10 the detention Of the ferry
boat q few minutes. -----
Evarts resumed his address to the
jury. He said .Beecher hadstold them
what the paper contained which Mr..
Tilton read to him as the statement
Of his wife. Mr. Tilton, when recaA-
ed, said it was quite different from
the description Of the contents given
by Beecher, but what the difference
was he didn't say. Moulton was the
custodian Of the original statement,
the version Of which vas given by
Beecber. 1t was vitalrto plaintiffs
case to contradict it. He had read
the paper and his memory was SO
good hecould repeat years afterwards
each word Of speech with which Til
ton introduced Victoria Woodruff to
the New York audience. They did
not dare to give different version Of
thepaper, because there was too much
evidence on record, written and oral,
to provethe conscious purjury Of such
an attempts. Mr.. Evarts read from
the cross-cxamination of Tilton as to
his use Of the paper at the interview
with Beccller on the 3Oth Of Deccm.
ber. He said that TNton's own testi-
mony showed the reading Of the pa
per to be climax Of his accusation
against Bcecher, the clincher, to
which his previous address led, N,us.-
Counsel then read from the testimony
Of Beecher upon the same points, and
said that the evidence Of both parties
TO the interview was to the effect that
the reading Of the paper was the first
thing that occasioned surprise. There.
was no escaping from the acceptance
Of defendants version Of this paper,
for no other had been, substituted, !,
and the paper itself had bae.l 1estroy-
ed, for with il plaintiff could not OBJ
tained his footing in court for one
moment. These facts destroyed the
whole story Of Tilton's alleged nara
tive to Bcecher Of his wife,s verbal
confession Of adultery.
Mr.. Evarts then considered the in
terview between the alleged adulter-
css and the alleged parsmour, held
in her chamber alone, and ct night,
at the suggestion, or with the acqui-
escences Of her husband. he urEe,d
the incredibility Of such an occur
renee. II fthere had been particle
Of truth in the charge which Tilton
presented-supposing: it possible that
an outraged husband could desire or
/ suggest such a meeting-would the
!, sedncer wish the interview, and know
ing himself guilty, go to verify the
accusation. Mr.. Evarts spoke Of the
character Of Mr.. Tilton as manifested
in his acts and declarations. What
an abnormal and monstrous character
this was which would lead a pan to
resolve to.pun down the temple Of his
