The Suit Against the Preacher for Fai

The Suit Against the Preacher for Fail
ure to Write 1t.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE suit of Samuel
Wilkinson against Henry Ward Beecher.
was called to-day before Judge Barrett, in
the supreme court. The action is for breach
of contract. Beecher contracted with the
publishing firm of Ford g. Co., in Deem
Der, 1869, to write sthe Life of Christ"
He agreed to write the book within eight
cen mouths, and received as partI pay
ment in advance and before signing the
contract, $4,000. Wilkinson was partner
in the firm, and paid the advance.
Since then plaintiff says he
has never been able to get the book from
Mr.. Beechsr. The first part was furnished
Ford Co. some years ago, and was pub
lished and circulated. The second part,
however, was only partially furnished by
defendant. Plaintiff alleges he was put
to considerable expense IN preparing for
printing the work, and sues to recover ex-
penses. When the case was called to-day
both sides were ready. Beecher
was present and sat by
his counsel, Thos. G. Shearman.
Counsel for the defendant moved to dis
miss the complaint on the ground that it
did not pay royalty to Beecher had
been fulfilled and statement had not
been given him as to the number of books
published. Counsel also moved to dismiss
the complaint upon the papor itself. Jude
Barrett denied the motion. A number
of papers were put in evidence. The first
witness called was Taylor Howard, mem
