Examination Of Mrs. TiIton.
In the examination of Mrs. Tilton last
evening she recounted the efforts she had
made to restrain Theodore from going af-
ter strange women. He openly announced
to her that he had wholly changed the
views h3 had held on the marriage re-
lation, and she had too much reason to
believe that he was living the life which
was consistent to that change. When he
brought the WoodhullS to her house and
imposed these harlotS on her, she used
every means in her power to induce
them.'to leave, but they wouldn't go. She
finally in despair, sent for the police to
remove them, and when the Woodhulls
heard that, they left. Referring to the
scene of this night when Susan Anthony
was there she said IL was scene Of great
violence and excitement. She said she
never saw Theodore 50 craZed as he was
that night. Miss Anthony slept with
her and made very free reference 10 the
stories in circulation about ThcodOres
life.
Denies Making any Confession 10
Susan.
She said most solemnly that it was un-
true that she made any confession to Su-
san Anthony of any improper act on her
part. All she said to her on that subject
was that Theodore was circulating stories
and had been for II long time, to her pre-
iudice and that of Mr.. Bc"chcr. She had
not thought of saying that there was II
word of truth in il.
There was no Truth in that STATE
ment.
1t was entirely false. She does not be-
licvr that Susan Anthony would say that
>hc ever gave her hint in that direction.
Mr.. Tilton was asked if she ever of her
own motion wrote word, either III let
ter or a statement, affecting improperly
herself or Mr.. Bcecher. She answered
she never had; that the most she ever
did was to copy papers that Theodore had
prepared for her. sometimes she dld not
even know the contents of the papers.
TiItOn's RascaIity.
Theodore would make assurances that
il was best to do it for the pcsce of the
familv-for her peace and for his peace
TO keep him out of his business troubles

Theodore Wrote Every Word
of the statement and brought it to her t"
copy. She copied it till she got to the
clause charging that Mr.. BeechcL had
made improper advance, to her. and then
III" refused 10 copy it further, and told
Theodore that it was false and great
wrong upon Mr.. Becchcr. Theodore
said. Never mind; it is best that you
should do it. | have got my true atat"-

four weeks before the Council sat. She
felt that she had committed great
wrong, and without consulting anybody.

tiun to the statement, and told him that

she had yielded to TheodorrS forclble
