Won't Wear Prison-Made UnIforms.

Schenectady, n. ", Dec. 14.-orders
were recently issued that the entire
national guard Of New York should be
supplied with uniforms made In the
state prison. The members OF the
Thirty-sixth separate company have
announced that they will never consent
TO wear prison-made uniforms. They
say they will disband rather than wear
prison-made uniforms. II Is probable
that the matter will be settled by the
men paying for their own uniforms.

LORD B~ALTIMORE'S TRIAL.
An Old Book Throws Light on Il Last
Century Scandal.

Century Scandal.
An old book of curious interest to
students of Maryland history was yes
terday presented to the Enoch Pratt
Free Library. 1t was published in on
don in 176S and contains a report of the
trial of Frederick Calvert, the sixth
and last Lord Baltimore, upon the
charge of abducting a young Quaker
mllllner named Sarah Woodcock. Ser
wants OF Lord Baltimore, male and fe-
male, carried the girl from her home
IN London to his lo%rdship's country
place near EPSON, in County Surrey,
where she was detained for several
weeks. When rescued by her friends
she at first would make no formal COM
plant against Lord Baltimore, because
OF a misunderstanding of the nature of
the legal proceedings, and it was upon
tnls technlcality that his lordship was
acquitted. His dismissal aroused a
great storm of popular indignation in
London, which was fomented by
pamphleteers n anonymous writer's

was obliged to retire from England

lie died three years later, in 1771, in
Italy. He left no legitimate heirs, and
the colony of Maryland and his estates
IN ireland and England passed to a
natural son named Henry Hartford, af-
ter whom Hartford county was named.
Harford was the last owner of Mary

photograph taken in 1874.)

Rumors rejecting on the Brooklyn
preacher also became public, but moth
ing took definite shape until May %,
1871, when Victoria C. Woodruff pu-
blished a card, in which she used the
words:
For example, I know of one man,
a public teacher of eminence, who lives
in concubinage with the wife of an
other public teacher of almost equal
eminence."
Mrs. Woodruff referred to the al
legged relations between Mr.. Beecher
and Mrs. Tilton. In the Woodruff and
Claim Weekly, on Nov. 2, 1872, an ar
ticle appeared specifically accusing Mr..
Beecher of immortality. Before this.
however, in July, 1870, Mrs. Tilton
made a verbal confession to her hus-

nine standing for the defendant, and
three for the plaintiff. Mr.. Beecher's
reputation was fatally damaged By the
trial, and a serious rupture resulted in
the Congregational bodies of this par1
Of the country, a breach having bee
formed that has never been who'll
healed.
After the trial Mrs. Tilton made;
public confession, covering practically
the same ground as the first. Mr.. Til
ton went abroad shortly a~fterward,
taking with him his two daughters,
Florence and Alice, whom he put in
school in Stuttgart. They were there
four years, and both of them were
married abroad. The two boys, Car
roll and Ralph, younger than their sis
tiers, remained with their mother. Both
sons are married now and live in Chi
cago. For years Mrs. Tilton had had
no direct communication with her hus-
band. The children always stood ky
her and supported her loyalty. She
was a charitable worker among the
poor, SO far as her limited means would
permit, and had many friends among
them.

band to the effect that on October 10.
1868, and at different times afterward
she had been guilty Of improper con-
duct with Mr.. Beecher. Tilton took no
action in the matter until Dec. 26. 1870
when, at h instance of Mr.. Bowen,
he wrote to Mr.. Beecher, demanding
that he abandon the ministry Of Ply
mouth church and quit the city Of
Brooklyn. On Thursday, Dec. 90, 1870,
Mrs. Tilton made a written confession
of un~faithfulness duplicating Mr..
Beecher. On the night of Dec. 80, 1870,
Francis D. Moulton, a friend Of Til
ton and known afterward as the mu-
tual friend" induced Mr.. Beecher to
meet Tilton at Moulton's house. In
that interview Mr.. Tilton, in accord
ance with a promise made to his wife,
withdrew his demand that MI. Beecher
should step down and out from the
Plymouth church pulpit. Tilton also
consented that Mrs. Beecher should see
Mrs. Tilton, who was sick in bed. Mr..
Beecher saw her that evening and OBJ
tanned from her a retractiOn of her
confession, which retraction contained
a promise to defend him against a
council of ministers in case the &C.
cuser was any one but her husband.
On the next day Mr.. Moulton got pos
session of the retraction, and Of a
letter of confession.
After many other interviews, a pol.
lev of silence was decided upOn. Mr.,

implicitly in Mr.. Moulton, saying in a
letter: His hand it was that tied up
he storm that was ready to burst
over u heads" Notwithstanding the
secrecy decided upon, in%sinuations and
~innuendoes began to float around, un-
til Mrs. Woodruff published the card
referred to in May following. Gossip
was rife for owe a year., and in Novem-
Der, 1872, the story in the Woodruff
and Claim Weekly appeared and
brought things to a crisis. Mr.. Tilton
was accused in Plymouth church of
slanderlng his pastor, and his name
was dropped from the rolls, but Mr..
Beecher took no public notice of the
story until six months afterward,
when he published a card denying it.
BY this time the pressure from other
congregational churches became so
great that Plymouth church was COM
PEELED to take action, and an ecclesias-
tlcal council was called, nominally TO
condemn the ~irregularity of the action
of Plymouth church in expelling Til
ton without a hearing, but really to
have something approximating an
investigation of the Beecher-Tilton
scandal. Nothing was accomplished
except to add to the scandal. Finally
Mr.. Beecher demanded an investiga-
ton and a court of six members of the
congregation was formed. The SEES
sions continued through the summer
of 1874, and they declared Mr.. Beecher
innocent of the charge of adultery pre-
ferred by Theodore Tilton.
In August of that year, Tilton
brought suit against Mr.. Beecher for
$1,000 for the alienation of his wife's
affections. In January, 1875, the trial
was begun in the Brooklyn city court
before Chief Justice Nelson. 1t lasted
liz working days, beginning on Jan.
II and ending on July 2. There was
a mighty array of lawyers. Mr.. Til.
ton had Samuel D. Morris, Thomas r,
Pearsall, Roger A. Pryor, William Full.
lerton, and William A. Beach. Mr.,
Beecher had Thomas G. Sherman,
John W. Sterling, John l.. Hill, John
X. Porter, Benjamin F. Tracy and vii.
liam M. Evarts. The testimony filed
5000 foolscap pages, and over $50 docu.
ments and 100 interviews were made
the subject of inquiry. Tilton. Moul-
ton and Mrs. Moulton swore to confes.
sions of adultery made by Mr.. Beech
er. Mr.. Beecher's letters were made
the subject Of all sorts Of ANALYSIS TO
prove this. The defense was that the
charge was the result Of a conspiracy
with blackmail as a motive, that the
original offense of which Mr.. Beeeher
was accused was making improper ad-
vances, a charge that Mr.. Tilton sub
sequently recanted. Mr.. Beecher's
explanation of his letters was that he
had written them in the belief that
he had unwittingly suffered a wife to
transfer her affections to himself. and
had unconsciously broken up a house
hold, which he loved and in which he
had found almost a second home. and
that ne had mistakenly advised Mrs.
Tilton to leave her husband. He ad-
mitted that Mrs. Tilton had given him
her affections, but they had been un-
sought and u%nreturned. The trial re-
suited in the disagreement Of the Jury.
