RHsURRECrING THE SCANDAL. The
prospect Of the reopeniDg OF ths great scsn-
dal through the Moulton suit for damages
has led to considerable comment in Brook
lyn and elsewhere, and no small degree OF
disgust IL expressed at the outlook. Among
the witnesses who will probably be exam
ined are Mrs. Theodore Tilton, her brother,
Mr.. Richards, and his wife, and Miss Edna
Dean Proctor. Mr.. Henry q. Bowen, Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, Mr.. Tilton, Mr.. Moul-
ton, Rev. Mr.. Halliday, stephen Pearl An
drews, Samuel Wilkeson, II. b. Cnaiin, Dis
trict Attorney Britton and other prominent
gentlemen Will also be called to the witness
stand. 1t Is not anticipated, however, that
the trial will occupy longer period tn An one
month. Mr.. shearman says he has never
yet asked the delay OF q single term, and did
not expect to. He had given up his summer
vacation entirely for the purpose of being in
readiness for the irst trial term, and he SUP.
posed that Mr.. Moulton, having % frequent
ly professed extreme anxiety for an early
