A further series of reconstructions of famous trials chosen by Lord Birkett who contributes a postscript
3-Bernard Braden in Tilton v. Beecher
An Action for Damages
Brooklyn-January 1875
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher , lecturer, journalist, and preacher, was a legendary figure in America when this action was heard. Sixty-two years of age, he stood accused of ' criminal conversation ' (adultery) with the wife of his friend Theodore Tilton , a much younger man. Tilton sued for damages of 100,000 dollars. A remarkable story was unfolded in the Brooklyn City Court, and the issue of the trial largely contributed to the ruin of both parties.
