Mrsrntton'a letur:
BROOKLYN, May 3, 1875.
Judge Nctlson: I Mk the privilege from
you lor a Jew words Id my own bnhalf. I
feel very deeply the it jusiicor my positlou
In tbe law and before tne Court U6'V slu!;.tf
and while I have understood rnd expected
from the beginning that Mr. Evurts was
principal In the matter, yet, since jour last
decision, I have besu so feasible of the pow
er of my enemies, that my soul crip out bv
JOIB you and the gentlemen of thejur tliut
they beware how, by a divided verdict, thev
consign to my children a false and wicked
stain upon their mother. For llvo years
past I have been the lctiin of circumstances
most cruel and unfortunate, struggling from
tlruo to time only fir a place to llvn honora
bly and iruthlully. Released for somo
mouths from the will by whose power uu
OLSclously, I criminated myself again and
attain. I declare solemnly before you, with
out fear of man and with faith In Ood, that I
am innocent of the crime charged against
me. I would like to tell my w hole sad story
truthfully; to acknowledge the frequent
falsehoods union Irom me bv compulsion,
though at tho same time unwilling to reveal
the seoieta of my married lito which only
the vital importance of my position makes
necessary. I assume theontire responsibility
of this re quest, unknown to frlnd or con
sent of eltner side, and await your honor's
honorablo decision. With great respect,
ELIZABhTn R. TlLTON.
The following is Judge Nollson's reply:
Mrs. Tilton: I am directed by Chiet Judge
Neilson to return your lettor as It can't be
read in court; also to state that in all casos
counsel havo tho tight to refrain from calling
a particular witness, however competent,
and that neither the court nor olif nt CSV in
terfere with the oxercleo of that right. The
Judge also Instructs me to say that the
question whether you could be callod as a
-witness stands on quite another ground from
that consideied wneu your husband was
called and sworn. Ho was a competont wit
ness to testify in his behalf against a third
person as defendant, and w hllo the policy of
the law was to some extent Involved, there
-was a statute which expressly declares a wite
to be incompetent as a witness for or agalust
her husband. Yours very respectfully,
O. W. Knacblock,
Clerk of City Court, ifcc.
London. Mav 54:30 A. m. Tho Standaul
everely criticises tho letter irom Gladstone,
read at the ceutennlal celebration of tho battle
of Lexington. It remarks that the habit ot
toadying to Americans is discreditable in
English public men and journalists. Tho ro
huIu) of the republican experiment In the
United States are the corruption ot pttbllo
life and extinction of public spirit, the op
pression of the minority and disgust of hon
orable men with politic, and tbo transfer of
tbe government into the hands of corrupt,
unscrupulous and ignorant persons.
The Tunes full v Indorses Gladstone's letter
andsavsit would be melanoholv if the first
great attempt to complete Independence
should result in social anarchy. Although
there is nothing at present to justify such
fears, grave evils exist in some of the Amer
ican institutions which must be remedied if
progress Is to continue.

officers where intimidation was necessary.
These troop9 were acompanled by United
States Marshals, who had fictitious warrants
with ciilBeus' names promiueuily displayed
and shown to porsous who would iulorm

had been attacked bv Ku Klux, and I sen'

thing like, "The man Is crazy." Ho asked

not unfriendly toward him. I said I had
canceled my engagement with Tilton, and he
said he could tell inn something about Til

and see Mi's. Beecher. He said he bad letters
from Mrs. Tilton from Ohio which be desired
me to Bee, as they contained statements of a
damaging character, I do not know the con
tents of the note delivered that night, but
Beecher didn't ask me if I did.
He didn't band me tbe letter, nor did I
read It, I stated to him that Til on and I
bad some differences, and T told hlin 1 had

Tilton and me. I have got them with mo
now. They are signed by Tilton and mo.
Tho award was mado the same evening,
when I was present. There was nothing said
about burning papers betw eon Beechor and
Tilton. I drew a check that night and gave

Nuw Yonic, May ft. A grett flutter of ex
citement followed the calling of Henry C.
Bowen, n-i a witness in too Beecher-Tilton
trial yesterday, aud Borton himself showed
traces ot considerable mental agtmtloii. Tho
Urn; question, going to tne Impaii'hment of
Beecuer, was whether defendant over dM
t-l uk lo hlin (ISowun, to influence him in
discharging lillou from his employment.
After h short, Hharp wrjngle, the nusner was
given, "AVver," aud souib Nuiisailou iollow

Mrs. Beecher put her glasses on a.id took
notes. '11 tou was pale with anxiety. Moul
tou persplrtd proiuly, aud all bauds wero
considerably wakt-d up.
Alter witness had tstun to relato his inter
view wit n B-echer the night tho famous note
uas delivered, calling on him lo abandon
his pulpit, opinions began to grow confused,
aud for a moment tbe thought was uttermost
in many minds that Boweu would turn out
a witness for Beecher. Shortly after, witness
contradicted Beecher's testimony in several
points. He was asked if lie received a letter
from Beecher in January, 1871. I think it
was the answer that revealed tho caution of
witness, tor he thnn pulled out the letter in
question, which proved to be the original
draft of the Tripartite covenant. It was not
a haphazard with witness. He had ull the pa
pers bearing on the case neatly folded, and
piomptly drew forth whichever one was
callidfor. The deieiice contended that tho
award of 87 000 giveu to Tilton by Boneu
was extorted by a treat to publish tbo scan
dal. Bohuii said that arbitration bad noth
ing to do with Breeder's affairs. These af
fairs were mentioned neither in words nor
