CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-The following is
the remainder of the synopsis Of Til
ton 8 statement: He gives long letter
written to him by Mrs. Tilton from
Marietta and enclosed letter to her
mother. in which she protests against
his cruel course, begging him to do diff
ferently and for his children's sake to
bury her past and leave it with her and
her God, who is merciful. This letter
was plainly written under the influence
of strong emotion. While it plainly
confesses great sin it intimates clearly
that he had also much to be forgiven.
This letter he regards 0s sufficient
refutation to the assertion in the Com
mittee's report that Mrs. Tilton's con-
fession was extorted from her by him.
and that she never made any confession
to her mother. She beRs him 10 this
letter not to blacken the reputation OF
Mr.. Beecher, which is dear to her, and
asks him if he wanted her to abuse a
woman ne loved.
He next gives quotations and expo
sitions from her letters 10 him. written
after her alleged confession, to show the

with Mrs. Tilton, not only once, but re-
peatedly, and on one occasion specified
the time that this intimacy had existed.
Over a year, he said, but not year and
half. He also relates the particulars
of an interview between himself and
Beecher, IN which Tilton desired to as.

both Beecher and she agreed that Octo-
ber 10th. 1868, the date given by her,
was correct.
He devotes much space to the relation
Of Beecher's contrition and apparent
grief at the ruin he had wrought. He
also refers to Beecher's complaints of
his own wife and of his domestic infel-
city.
He reiterates the statement that he
never knew until the publication of
Moulton's statement that the $4,000
given by the latter to him for the sup
port of the Golden Age came from
Beecher, and, in this connection. details
a conversation between himself and
Kinsella, of the Brooklyn Eagle, in
which the latter begged him to withhold
from the Committee his forthcoming
statement. saying, II know the justice
of your case; Mr.. Beecher has himself
admitted to me his guilt. He has
wronged you most foully. I acknowl-
edge it all. But remember. he is an
old man; his career is nearly ended, and
yours is only just beginning. If you
will withhold your statement and spare

family shall never want for anything in
this world" 9a
He declares the responsibility for all
these revelations rests on Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton, not on him. He would
gladly have continued to shield Mr..
Beecher for tho sake of Mrs. Tilton, but
when they combined against him and
dared him to tell the facts, he conld not
escape it.
