BEECHER'S STATEMENT.

New YORK, August i.-Extract from Beecher'
statement: The full truth Of this history require
that one more fact should be told especially a
Mr.. 1iton has invited it. Money has been OBJ
tanned from me IN the course of these affairs il
considerable sums. but did not at first look upol
the suggestion, that should contribute and Mr.
liltons pc uniary wants savoring of blacl
mail.
This did not occur to me until had paid per
haps 500 %. Afterwards | contributed at on,
time $500 The money was paid over IN five on,
thousand dollar bills, to raise which mortgaget
the house | live in.
felt very much dissatisfied with myself abou
1t. Finally a square demand and threat wa
made to me by my confidential friend, that i
5000 moe were not paid Tilton's charges woul(
be laid before the public. This 1 saw at once
was black mail i, its buldest form. and | never
pad cent OF 1t, but challenged and requested
the fullest exposure.
At about the same time found the circle O

centre OF the loathsome scandal, organized
classified and p rpetuated with greedy and I'M
clean appetltes for everything that was foul o,
vile. After the interview with Tllton
Beecher says: Il went forth like street
walker.
She evidently expected me and showed me al
once to Mr. llltons room. Mrs. Tilton lay upon
trance, and with her hands upon her b IN
palm to pam IKE one in PRAYER. As look back
upon the picture. 1t is like some forms carved in
marble that | had seen upon monuments in
Europe.
He did not read the paper to ME, nor did read
it, nor have ever seen il. More than a
year afterwards Beecher saws M7nltou
presented papers whic', Moulton alleged were de.
s'royed two years ago.
She Woo lhuiD became the heroine of Moul-
ton add Hilton; she was made welcome to both

BEEcHERs INTERVIEW WITH Woodruff.
AT the first interview she was grA ;ious; at the
second she was cold and naughty, but at the
thlrd she was angry and threatening for [ had
peremptorlly refused to preside at the lecture
she was abon t. give at Steinway Hall. Most
strenuous Efforts have been made by 9th Mr.
Iilton and Moulton induce ME to preside at
this lecture, and to identify mys Ii publicly with
Mrs. Woodruff.
In 1s73, he (Beecher) became inward salts
tied that Tilton was inherently and inevitably a
rnined man ~. He did not mean well bv me-
but "a he had grown up under my influence and in
my church could never 'rce myself rom GER

IN procuring reconciliation: / gave him leave
to state to Theodore my feelings, He rIoulton)
sat down at my table and took down, as sup
posed, condensed report OF my talk, for went
on still pouring out my wounded feelings over
THIS great desolaiion in Mr.. Tilt ms family.
THE EXTRACT REGARDING REFoRMERs
L was by no means only clergyman who was
IN de the text for their private gossip but it SENS
as II no woman in the land was left out of their
scandal, but the history OF their past lives. and
even the graves Of their friends were raked over
to furnished material and prctext for their loath-
some falsehoods.
1t was inexpressihly disgusting to me. and
would n" associate with these people, yet Mr.
illton and Mouton had some strange theory con-
corning the management of this affair."
NEW YORK, Aug. l4.-Beecher's eros --examina-
