HIE EVEMfl TRIAL
Ninety-third Dny of the
Scandal Suit.
PORTER STILL CONCLUDING.
He Repeats Many ci His Pre
vious Arguments.
EVARTS TO SPEAK TO-DAY.
One of the Jurymen Complains
of Illness.
It was a dail mornin; at the Brooklyn trial yes
ter-lay and the attendance was leas dense than
usual. Many got tired ana wen' a way bef re
noon. The counsel fei<eated himself. His logic
w.i< we it. Atiu-e of Tlltou was the staple ol tils
address, and the mry snowed slims 01 weariness.
He went over me argument ayuiu that because
Henry Ward Beecher wa.s a n'inisterof tue Gos
pel and spoke the doctrines of Christ ironi Sab
auth to Sabbatn, because lie joined men and
women iu wedlock, prayed over the graves of tne
id ami wore gray hairs that be could no', be
guilty 01 adu.tary. The counsel said nothing
original and introduced little beyond whut he Has
already touched oa. Beeeber himself listened with
au appearance ol diminished luterest. Several of
tli? women grew sleepy, Evarts se'tled himself
dowu into a cane-bottomed cbalr, his cliln re.-ting
on li.s breast and aloOK of intense uiavity on his
race. Mr. Beach wenr on caimiy taking n.tes,
and once In a while looking up at Porter with a
quizzical expression of face that would seem to
nay, -How little yoa believj of all you ar<- sneak
ing." While Porter's voice was clearer than on
the firs; day. his odd, jerking ni inner caused him
to be heard In parts ol his speech with much dull
culty. The rising ami failing inflection touched
ex i re mes.
MUCLTON'S CUMING INTO COCRT.
He was at times very vigorous, out uu the whole
unequal. Tiltou and Mouiton came 1 u for a full
share 01 denunciation. Moult n entered the court
room after twelve, just as Porter was saym r that
be was eltl^er a true man or a liar, and was pro
ceding to prove him the latter. Mouiton wore a
white summer vest and a light hat, with a mourn
ing band around it. He took a seat next ex
Ju me Morris, and was tne observed of observers.
If Beach adop s the same style as Porter, and
snakes his ;orcflnger lu the faOe of Beeclier *s
Po! ter do*?B m the face of Tiltou, singles him out
lief re the Juty and audience, aud hurls trol'ey
niter volley of aouse at Dim, it wt:i be a dreadful
t-cene to look upon, lor Ilea n has a v 1 'e of thun
der and an eye that shoot - iorth lightning.
Aiauy people are of the opinion that Porter's ad
(tress, >-o lar as its influence on th'- Jury Is con
cerned, might as well never have beeu delivered.
'I hey say the Jutv huve made up their minus
already, and Porter's rather feebly forcible speech
will not alter ilietn. It is conceded, however,
that Beach may pr"duce% change, for no lawyer
ever stood op to address a jury who will be so
thoroughly equipped for
A GREAT FuKBNSIC EFFORT.
He has paid close attcn'lou to bis adversary1? ad
dress, constantly noting such points advancei by
l rter as he expects to be able to demolish.
Ti.cn he is a man of such intense conv ctions,
of so earnest a delivery anu of so clear and
common sense a style ol expresalon that the Jury
will find It hard to withstand him. He can
alter their opinion it any man can.
A FnOTRACTKb speech.
Porter made the announcement at the opening
of his speech that during the day bts learned
triend, Mr. Evans, would ledow ntta. Tae gen
trai impress***) was that be wouid certainly be
done bv recess, but the audience was diaap
pvlsted, and Jodze Porter is destined to consume
t j bi oin ol this morning bei^re we are per
il a'ted to !iea.r the learned and brilliant Evarts.
Judge Porter, previous to this trial, bore the
r-puufloa of being a calm, logical speaker,
rue -peech he has mule to the jury in this
tee her trial will hardly oe regarded calm and
0 icai. a gentleman oi Brooltlyn Any character
ed it as a stump speech. Parts of it were cer
my exceptional, especially where invective of
? very personal and offensive nature was suttstl
to ed m a marie-ily conspicuous manner for logic

MOULTOM SAT BACg

1 -v whi e Porter denounced him to ttie jury as a
Ib'sat and a liar. He snowed no sign of emotion,
m l as P rter came to apeak of Mrs. Mouiton

i.ss ,o the presence or her huseaud" be merely
auxsed. He seeme-l to he perfectly satisfied that
?? lawyer was acting a piece sail entirely irre
t, onsmie for his expressions. Tliton treated the
? uua latory lauguage or Porter in much the
nme ? , trit The Be?cher peop e. of course, were
I tgnted at every phrase of indignation and
U>use hurled at th > ao-1*ailed conspirators.

The rain falls silently outside and tt.e air Is
balmy and cooi. The moist atmospnere and ttio
absence of dust coming through the wide-opened
windows makes tfie day an enjoyable oue for
Judge, counsel, Jury and tne audience. Every
breath of air that is waited in the breeze refreshes
the lungs of all, and Judge forter is evidently lu
better voice ana he is able to make himself heard
more regularly. Still tne stenographer* have a
hard t:me of ir. and they whisper now and tneu a
word that only ot;e or two have caught. J tut go
Poiter's manner is to go ou with a sentence in
crisp language and clear tones and then suddenly
?inic his voice to almost a whisper. It has the
same effect on the reporters as an exhaust pnmp
has ou a miserable mouse. It is an auricular
vacuum, and tne pencils pause and are suspended
of animation because the ear cannot hear. Per
plexing labor to make the neat of it.
Mouiton is either a true m m or a liar. Let us
take a single illustration that now occurs to me.
On hi:* cross-examination I toot occasion to ask
him how long if was since he had leit the firm of
Wood i utr .V Robinson. The question was asked at
random ior iniormation us to a lact 011 which I
was ignorant, Mm so.re hesitation lie acknowI
edged that, ne was no longer u member of Hie
iriginal firm in all its brancnes of business; that
tnere had been a subdivision of the business and
thai he was now and had oeen irom tne 1st oi j.ui
nsry a in ember ol the mercantile department of
that business, which was .sunordinare unci distinct
from the other connecied with trie great commer
cial prosperity ot tne city, i asked him wnether
that was a permuneut branch, and he said
that no time had been fixed tor lis
dissolution. He thought it important to
congeal fiom you the lact that even his own part
ners hid la lit meir hands upon mm. it so hap
pened that Jeremiah i\ Kobin*on was brought oy
ihe u lo tne stand. It occurred to that clear
headed ana iar-sigiitert lawyer, who seems by in
tuittou to kno* the truth even i el' re It m re
vealed, u? ns< of Mr. Hobluson the qnestion,
"When did Prank D. Mouiton cease to be a mem
ber of that firm tins, you will remember, to an
uncle of Mrs. Mouiton. "Our parinersnip ceased

is significant, too, as being tne nine the last
oinckro ill attempt wa< tua ie. Th > time scu down

they had entcr"d on the 1st of January into a
foirn.il agreement that irom the 1st of February
that partnership in all its branches should bo for
ever at an end. Theodore Tiltou and Frank L).
Mouiton had done everymin^ in tneir testimony
to convey the impression tnat the claim lor $7.oOJ
against Boweti wis one wnlch Rowen never
denied. Why? Because they kuew that right
behind the admission of that lact my the clew to
the original ( onspnacy. Henry c. HOwen, who
lived in a palace, was no; Hie editor but the
ow erofone oi tre great religious papers of the
country, a man of fortune, who wonld not reiusa
the payment of an nonest debt. When the time
Came that tne Golden Age coulu no longer float,
and ihe sum of fT.OO'i was nreled to float It,
then came that blackmail card purporting
to contain ar charge against Henry C. Howen.
Tiltou makes his way down Hroadwav, and
by a nappy conceptive thought tie would so and
Bee tin old iriend Sam VViisesoii. tlo drew out
ol Ills pocket the woll-worn galley sliu containing
the Imelious letter irom rheodore Tiiton to Heurv
C. Bow-n. He told WiIkcsou that Bowen owed
him $7,000 au.l would not pay it, and added
that justice must prevail though the heavens fell.
?oun-el dlliteii at length on the interview be
tween tne plaintiff and vvilkeson. ana contended
tnat the former took th s way of communicating
with llowen, knowm;; that Wiikeson would in
form hitn oi i is intention?, wilke-on asked Til
ton to leave the matter to him, saving tint if
Howen owed tne mouey ho must pay it. Counsel
tnen alluded to the arbitration meeting which
Mlowed as well as to the tripartite a?reenient,
which ne said would have bound any one but a
bariiar.au. Tiltou got ins $7,000, which lie could
not have obtained by any other process tliau that
resorted to. and in ids exultation he hands it to
VVoodroil with me entry on the back ol It, In his
own acknowledged Handwriting, "Spoils from
new friends for the benefl of old." Counsel
called attention to the fact that Mr. Monlion, as
well as Mr. Tiiton, on their direct examination,
took great pains to snow that ihere was no de
fence to this claim for $7,000. Tiiton processed to
have lorgotten that ne brought the suit or the
recovery of t$e money, It was important for
them 10 dlsivow the charge of black
mail and to inane the jury believe that
Bessie Turner was sent awav to save
Henry Ward Beecher. counsel re erred at length
to the evidence oi Bessie Turner aud related tne
idea that si.e had circulated any sianaerous re
poris con erning the defendant, ana yet these
men resorted to the mean c mrivance of setting
forth tn*t Uessie turner bad been sent awav to
conccai tne adultery oi Mrs. Tiiton with Heary
Ward lie -Cher. Mouiton produced letters wiiicn
he called ciaudestine letters irom Mrs. ill ton to
Henry Ward Beecher and to these letters ne and
his iriend butler seek 10 give a la-clvious anit
base iut-rpretation. Now, gentlemen, there is a
little tact wni u you will weil reruemuer. Pirst,
tnat Frank Mouiton came lnt<> p >s?es-doti of the
clandestine letters. wnicn had been written dur
ing his absence in Florida, by Henry Ward
Beecher delivering them to ?i?. Woat sort oi

Is significant enough to characterize the
basenes- of these meu; bu' there is more. One ot
tnese letters was in its envelope wnen it was

read in evidence, aud my frieud Mr. Kvarts places
