Another Statement for Tilton

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The Tribune
this afternoon publishes Tilton's new
statement in full, making four full
pages of that paper. Following is q
synopsis OF the main points:
First portion of the statement con-
sists of quotations from letters and
other evidence, showing the friendly
relations existing between Tilton and
Beecher up to the time of Mrs. Til
toms confession, and of the marital
felicity of Tilton and wife up to the
same period, all of which is offer
ed as a refutation of the charge of
Tilton's svindictiveness toward Beecher
and of his brutality toward his wife. He
then relates, with great particularity,
the circumstances under which Mrs.
Tilton's confession was given, which
he alleges was given in detail after
exacting from him solemn pledge
that he was not to injure the person
implicated nor communicate the fact
of her relation, as she wanted to in
form him of the fact in her own way.
The first criminal act between Beecher
and herself, she stated, occurred Oct.
10, 1868, while Tilton was absent in
New England. The next one was the
succeeding Saturday, while Tilton was
absent in New England. The next
one was the succeeding Saturday eve
ming; and these were followed at in
tervals during the ensuing Fall, Win
ter and Spring. He next inserts a
portion of letter from Susan B. An
thony to Mrs. Stanton, dated Nov. 49,
1872, which plainly indicates that
Mrs. Tilton had confessed her intima-
cy with Beecher, as also that she fell
through Beecher's pressing, persist
ent solicitations. Here follows O note
from Mrs. Stanton to Moulton, dated
Sept. 7, which urges him not to fail in
his forthcoming statement to repel as
false the charge of Beecher that Mrs.
Tilton thrust her love upon him un-
sought. Much space is here given to
Two columns are devoted to showing
Mrs. Morse, by quotations from he r
letters to Triton, both before and after
her discovery of her daughters. inti-
macy with Baecher This discovery,
he says, was first made by Mrs. Morse
on the occasion of her accusing him of
a liaisOn with q friend of Mrs. Tilton,
when he said to her, in Mrs. Tilton's
presence, that she must either speak
respectfully of him and his guests or
leave the house, whereupon Mrs.
Morse turned fiercely upon her daugh-
ter and cried, Elizabeth, have you
been doing wrong ?" To which, re-
ceiving no reply she added, Is it with
Mr.. Beecher ?n Mrs. Tilton left the
room, but her mother followed and re-
peated the question. Elizabeth bowed
her head in assent. Mrs. Morse, he
says, was maze i'll by this disclosure,
and afterwards for short time treated
him better, and urged him to for
give Elizabeth for the one sin of her
life.
