Evarts Closes Beecher Defense in Brooklyn Trial
In New York on June 8 the Evarts summing up argued Tracy’s testimony, the Woodhull scandal, and Tilton and Moulton’s roles. The “Ragged Edge Letter” and Beecher’s letters were laid bare as Evarts contends Tilton and Moulton manipulated public opinion while Beecher faced alleged schemes and treachery within the Golden Age venture.
Beecher Case Admits Deep Strains in Testimony and Faith
Evarts argues testimony from Mrs Moulton and Tilton's True Story show conflicting recollections about the 1872 Beecher interview. He portrays Beecher as morally upright and declares a verdict for the defendant aligns with law, religion, and public honor, contrasting Tilton's alleged moral decline.
Trial court remarks on duty and verdict in landmark case
The speaker praises jurors for their service, notes no outside evidence beyond the charge, and asserts the necessity of limits and orderly procedure. He thanks jurors for their patient attention and predicts a verdict that aligns with truth, as the court adjourns at 6 25 p m.

The Strikers No Prospect of Resumption in Wyoming Region
Wikesgorge Pa June 8 There is no prospect whatever of the miners of the Wyoming region resuming work. They and the operators are as far apart as ever and the good feeling once present has been destroyed. Miners at Sugar Notch and Wanamie works of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company received notices to vacate their houses within ten days. Men at work in other regions still send aid to the strikers who are determined to hold out all summer.
