POSITION OF qHE PARTIES.

Mr.. Ttltons evidence In relation to his indictment
against his wife and Mr.. Beechef, coming % the
press in an abbreviated form, without the assent
or permission Of the committee. and then its re.
publication in full from their stenographer has
taught the investigators caution, and they would
not yesterday give any hint as to the testimony
elected on the previous evening, not even 30
much as to reveal the names Of the three
witnesses who were seen to enter and leave the
house Of Mr.. Storrs. MIR. Tilton, too, has grown
reticent giving the many reporters little informa-
ton before taking his afternoon drive with some
friends. He said he owned the Livingston street
house, except for the mortgage on It; that he was
not prepared to say whether Mr.. Moulton, the
mutual friend" would give the committee any
light on the matters in issue, but that he had ex.
pressed himself as still desrous to act as pacii-
Gator. He also Indignantly refused to make any
response as to his having registered his name
"and lady" at the Beardsey House, Winsted,
Conn.,, on the occasion of his lecture there.
Mrs. Triton sull remains at the house OF Mr.. Ed
ward Ovngton, and h ad not receiv ed any notitca-
ton that her further testimony would be desired
by the committee. She had read the strange state
ment made by Mrs. Stanton, and pronounced its

their companion in the advocacy OF the right OF

trophe OF the rupture between Tilton and his vile
these women should, spit venom on the wife
charged by her husband with unchaste behavior.
Some OF Mrs. Tilton's friends had advised her to
reply publicly to the narrative or Mrs. stanton and
