THE BEECHER-TILTON TRIAL.
Brooklyn, April 27,
The adjournment of the Beecher trial was not unexpected to-day, as it was understood that the Bench would be detained by other suits. Immediately after the adjournment, Beecher and wife, accompanied by Evarts and Porter, stepped into a carriage drawn by a stylish team of trotters, and took a ride through Prospect Park. Tilton, after exchanging greetings with a number of friends in the court-room, hurried away with a smile on his face and a more cheerful look than he has worn for iong days past. Mrs Tilton still remains an object of assiduous inquiry, the probability of her taking the witness stand being strenuously debated. It is confidently asserted by counsel and others that all the evidence in the case will be in within a week. The testimony in rebuttal will be brief, although several witnesses will be called to contradict those for the defence. Each of these will be examined on particular points only, and therefore the cross-examina-tion cannot be very much extended. The question of a week’s recess being taken by the Court before the summing up begins is not yet decided.
