NEW YORK, Aug. l3.-lnere Is remark
able absence Of any official information
concerning the B-ech-r investigation.
and the contradictory statement from
persons who are or clam to be conuecte ed
with 1t, leave only room for surnise on
the status OF the scandal. One paper
states that Beecher will be vindcated by
the report of the committee without max.
ing q statement, and will immediately
resign his pastoral which will NOT be &C.
cepted. Another says Beecher will SUBJ
NIT a long statement this morning, and
the committee will close its labors this
evening, The republication from a
western journal of conversations with
Moulton and Tilton has, it is said, ne.
cessitated a delay in preparing the state
ment, which will make denial of the
allegations contained in the sensational
report. The testimony of Beecher is
very long, covering the minutest points
in Tilton's statements, and also quota.
tons OF letters.
Agentlcman acquainted with Beecher,
during the present investigation says he
denies the story that he deceived Tilton.
He had visited Mrs. Tilton after the &C.
cusation of adultery by the request OF
Tilton himself.

believing him to be liar than for believ.
ing that the press is mistaken, as will ap.
pear II ever choose to produce the rea.

Moulton further said, according to the
reporter, that he had been threatened il
connection with his statement, but ht
feared no threats, and would not turr
from the truth. When the facts BEGAN,

and awful truth. ..,
