rumors may have existed in newspaper
Offices. know not, but they have not come
from me.
In closing your letter you say, 81 do not
ask you to place before the committee any
papers which Mr.. Tilton may have given
you. but do demand that you forthwith

not justly place before the COMM ttee the
papers OF one of the parties, without doing

great sin about IT, The sin was that She
hurt her husband pride by allowing any
one else 20 enter into her life at all. The

pure Sine gave Mr.. Beechcr nothing more
! than confidence and respect.
SOME UNCENrLEMtNLY TALK ~ THEODORE.
Mr.. Tilton frequently talked to her ac-
! cusingly of the sensual effect of her pres
ence upon gentlemen. His accusations
were hard to live under lie seemed to be
ashamed of her appearance and bearing.
/ On one occasion in "a company OF his friends
he told her he would give five hundred dol
lars If she were not at his side. In hotels
and public places On several occasions he
said To her, II wish YOU would not keep
near me" Ii was evident to her that he
did not want comparisons made between
them. Ii hurt her very much.

he was the person who committed the out
rage on the West girl, in Englesby's woods
IN tins city, last 4th of July, was arraigned
at the city court room Thursday, before
Justice IIollenbeek. Grand Juror Brownell
appeared for the State, and K. p Z. IIewe.t
for the prisoner.
THE PRISONERS APPEARANCE.
Jacob Morrison, tho prisoner, is small,
slight built man. with thin face and feat
ures, slightly STOPPING figure, dark brown.
rather bushy hair, and small moustachc of

pounds. lie has, we are told, been up twice
before for similar offences. His age. he
states, il 26 years. lie has a wife and two
children, and resides with his family on
Champlain street.
THE VICTIM.
Nora West, the victim of the outrage
charged on the prisoner, is a pretty and
modest appearing little girl, very bright
and intelligent. and was eleven years old
last November.
NORA WEST SWORN.
On the opening Of the court the girl Nora
was called to the stand She was asked a
multitude Of questions, the answers to
which amount substantially to the follow
ing She recognized the prisoner as the
person who, on the 18th of July last, caught
her a. she was berrying. in company with
some other little girls in Englesby's lot, in
this city, led her, by force and threats, some
I thirty or forty rods into the woods, and
] iOrcbly outraged her person. She shouted
out only once. as Morrison told
her if she did not keep still
| he would kill her She was afraid
/ of him and dared not make an cutlery The
! prisoner threw her down and hurt her very
much. IL happened in the afternoon of the
/ lth. Her testimony was given in very
straightforward manner, for a girl Of her

be improper for publication, but MAS very

THE PRISONER SWORN.
The sum and substance of Morrison 5 te~-

the result OF the vote before the ballots were
counted. The citizens of the village proper
were enthusiastic for bonding, but those in
the outskirts felt that the taxes would be
too much for the benefit derived that it
would be too long before the benefits of the
railroad would bring any advantage, and
that the road would be built any way, and
thus they might escape the paying out Of 4
few Of their hard-earned dollars for the
benefit of the public at large. y few of the
usual stereotyped objections We're advanced.

damaging to his fields, to be kept open while
the road was building through; another OBJ

AN INTERVIEW WITH Mr.. BEEcuER.

NEN IoEh, July IA IepDTler Vi tuc
Brooklyn Union called upon Mr.. Beecher,
Yesterday. The conversation between Mr..
Beecher and the reporter asof a cOnfden-
tial character Mr.. Bcecher talked glibly
and laughed heartily at times. Mr.. Beecher
intlmated To the reporter that his friends
might rely on his discretion and his truth.
lt was enough that he had declared
TILTON S CHARGES FALSE.
for the present. lie was prepared to admit
that his sky was not so clear as it ought
to be; there were hay clouds in the horizon
and these darkened slightly toward the
zenith, but the sun of truth would in its
own good time burst forth and dissipate
them. lie was preparing his
REPUTATION OF ALL THE CHARGES
that had been made against him. lie felt
strong in his own heart he felt that he
had dOEe wrong to no one he might have
been incOnsderate, even indIscreet; that came
of his impulsiveness when the story had
been told, when his plain, unvarnished tale
had been prepared and given to the public,
he would calmly await what it and more
particularly his true friends had to say,
and by it he was quite repaired to
STAND G. fALI-
He ralt himself innocent Of intention to
Lar, any one Win Thai feeling ever
