scandal. We see little I'D the details tia

The cross-examination OF poor Titon wa
continued on Saturday. Nothing new wa
brought out Of Importance. q
Triton persisted Id his denial that he hat
since his suspicion of improper intimacy
between her and Beecher said that che va:
pure. he had used words that conveyed
the impression-for Instance he had said thai
| she was Christian woman, that conveyed
the idea Of purity; but be had never, called
! her pure woman. He believed she was o
good woman, and that she was deluded by
| her pastor under the disguise Of Christianity
| and thought she was not SHINING when she
| yielded to his solicitations, &c.
Triton was examined on great many
points touching Mrs. Beecber and Mrs. Til
ton. He thought Mrs. Beecher hated him
| (Titon). Also concerning Bowen, which are
not Of interest sufficient to occupy space In
our paper. Tilton said the Injury Beecher
had done him might be pardoned upon con-
fession and apology, the code of honor to
the contrary notwithstanding. Tilton con-
fessed to Mrs. Woodruff visiting his house
several times to the great dissatisfaction of
Mrs. Tton. Once she came there to meet
Mr.. Beecher, with whom she had long
conversation.
The following are mentioned as incidents:
Dir. Tracy, OF counsel conducting the case
before the committee in the interest of Mr..
Beecher, says: /" Mr.. Beecher's fault was We.
nal, though the stupidity that induced con-
cealment was damnable."
General Butler says he has no connection
with the case; is not counsel for Dir. TiltoD
or Mr. Moulton, but cannot speak of the fu.
ture. or Mr.. Tilton's statement the General
adds: Il think it is most unfortunate
thing that it should ever have been made
public. / advised very strongly against its
being given TO the world. 1t Is miserable
business"
Mrs. Tilton and Mr.. Beecber will be ready
Monday night yesterday, when the commit
tee resumes its session, to lay before it their
final statement.
MRS. Woodruff ON TIE WAR.PATH.
Mrs. Victoria Woodruff went to New
York for the purpose of standing trial on an
indictment for libel. On her route from
California to New York she was interviewed
at Chicago by reporter in reference to the
Beecher case. She said of Tilton's statement
that it don't go far enough. Theodore should
have told all there was OF 1t. She said she
first published the scandal in her paper, but
1t was known long before that. She bad not
been in San Francisco two weeks before a
dozen people came to her and said they had
heard Of it long before. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, when in California, repeated it
some time previous to its appearing In the
Weekly. She believed Beecher to be Us great
and good a man as he ever was. The only
thing was that preaching this Christianity he
was acting q lie.
To reporter of the New York Neacs she
said She had read Mrs. Tilton's statement
and knows it is not true. Mrs. Tilton
should be honest and tell what she has told
me at her own tea table," She has often
conversed with Mr.. Beecher on the subject
of the scandal. and had frequently asked
him why he did not preach what be prac-
ticed. TO W bich DIR. Beecher replied: "Wby,
Mrs. Woodruff. my church would be empty
in day; dare not" When asked whether
she expects to appear before the committee
of Investigation, she replied: " Of what use
is It? They are all Mr.. Beecher's selected
friends; one of them, FL. B. Clahin, had sat at
her table, and knows we'll enough what she
long ago charged is true" She concluded :
"If Frank Nloulton tells all he knows he
will swamp Beecher. And Frank is one OF
natures nobemen. I am convinced that be
can sustain all the allegations in Mr.. Titon's
statement, and significantly more TOO, if be
desires. am whiting until all the evidence
is in and the Investigation closed, then (tri-
umphantly) I will sum up the case"
To a reporter of the New. York Express
Mrs. Woodruff declared that the statement
attributed TO her in regard to her relations
with Tlton is absolutely without tounda.
ton. She never made such statement.
She had, she said, heard of it, but never read
it until it was shown to her that morning.
She says she will reserve What she has to say
on the Beecher-Titon matter till both sides
have exhausted themselves. "Bofh parties"
said she care telling lies. When they have
finished it will be time for me to speak out"

Miss Anthony went with Mrs. Tilton, and
dined with her instead Of Us. There was
