Interview VIII, Shcarnluu.

Mr. Sucarlnn. III All interview with re-
nortcr to-day, with reference 10 MOult0n's
statement, said
Il know all that Frank MouIton can say
or has 10 say. say ! know that there Is
nothing that he has III his possession that
can implcate Mr. Bccchcr one ieta-nothiug,
because there is nothing in existence 10 i'm
plicate him. Why, ii | could tell you all
know about this ease ii would show YOU Mr.
Beechcr, motives in keeping silent, and
would show him blamclc>s Is clearly ~ if 4
calcium li"nt were turned on the whole
story.
III Bccchcr had spoken long ago these
clouds would have disappeared like mist be-
fore Il summer wind. And yet even now
would not advise Mr.. Bccchcr to speak out,
knowing rs | do the circumstances OF the
case, though his own character would seem
TO demand that he should tell the public
what they have absolutely 10 right to know
There is Il prurcnt curiosity abroad to know
every detail Of this disgusting business which
is absolutely shocking. Mr. Beccher has
held his tongue out OF respect for the feelings
OF others.
"Why, look at this Hooker exhibition.
Mr.. Beecher tried to keep that quiet to spare
the feelings Of his family and friends, and,
mark you, there are others, but their case l.
different from hers. She, 1t was very well
known, was 4 wcak,mnded woman, and the
Woodruff people got hold Of her and preyed
upon her weakened intellect, but ii Mr.
! Beecber opened his mouth and told his story
| there are distinguished citizens who have
brcn mixed up ia this matter who would
suffer, and in bis silence be has spared their
| feelings.
"ThiS Woodruff coteric is nest Of black
mailers. That is the sole object Of their lives.
They have inyeigled into their tolls di>ti2.
guished men and women, and they have
sought out Beechrr rs target for their ope
ratl0ns because he WAS . shining light. tel
YOU that be can make this thing as clear 4:
the noondsy sun, and if he should there vii
some people suffer whom be has spared for :
long, long time ~ the cost OF his own ea=e
mind and da.tardly persecution.
| "Theu | reflect on what would be th
consequence of his telling out what h
knows about the whole business, wou!t
advise him even nov to keep silent, and cN
plain away only what is necessary to I'll
committee.
1t is said another effort Is making 10 com
promise, and the Argus goes SO Tar As 10 stat
that Mrs. Tilton is prepared to state that sh
has been laboring under an haluclnatlon
that Mr. Beecher is willing to resign his pas
toral that the Society will refuse to accep
his resignation, and that DIR. Tilton vii
upon these conditions, again open the doc
OF his house to his wife.
