have not spoken of myself; no
words conld express the sharpness
and depth OF my sorrow On your
behalf. My dear and honorcdi
friend, God walks in the FIRE by |
the side of those He loves; neither |
you nor Theodore nor l shall re-
greet the discipline, however hard |
it may seem now. May He restain
and turn those poor creatures who
have been given over to do all this
sorrowful harm to those who have
deserved no such treatment at their
hands. 1 commend you to my
mothers God, dear friend; may His
smile bring light in darkness and
and His love he perpetual sum-
mer TO you. Very truly yours,
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
In conversation with Mrs. Til
ton last evening she recounted the
efforts she had made to restrain
Theodore from going after strange
women. He only announced that
he had changed his views on the
marriage ration. She had too
much reason to believe that he was
consistent with that change when
he brought the Woedhulls TO her
house..and impose dthese harlots
upon her, She used every means in
her power to induce them to leave,
but they would not go. She final
ly in despair sent for the police to
remove them and they left.
Referring to the night when
Susan B. Anthony was there she
said, it was q scene of great vio-
lence and excitement; she never
saw Theodore so cruel as he was
that night. Miss Anthony slept
with her and made very little ref
crence to the stories in circulation
about Theodore's life, She said
most solemnly that it was not true
that she made any confession to
Susan 3. Anthnoy OF any
improper act on her part.
She does not believe
that Susan B. Anthony woHld say
that she ever gave her 4 hint in
that direction.
Mrs. Tilton was asked if she
ever, of her own motion, wrote a
word either in letter or state
ment affecting the improperly OF
herself or Mr.. Beecher. She an
swered that she never had; that
the most she ever did was to copy
papers that Theodore had prepar-
ed for her. Sometimes she did
not even know the contents of the
papers. Theodore would make as
surances that it was best to do il
for the peace of the family, for her
peace and for his peace to
help him out of his
business troubles. On one
occasion this was done while she
was sick in bed, upon the stron-
gest statements by him that it was
for her best interests. When the
statement was prepared for Storrs
to see, and Carpenter was helping
the thing on, Theodore wrote every
word of the statement and brought
it TO her to copy. She copied it
until she got to the clause charg-
ing that Mr.. Reecher had made
improper advances to her; she re-
fused to copy it further, and told
him it was false and q great wrong
upon Mr.. Beecher. lie said, ''Nev
er mind, it is best you should do
il; have got my true statement
of the story all written here show
ing her Il roll of manuscript.
want that statement OF yours for
the story to hinge on; want tn
show il to DIR. Storrs."
This was done about four weeks
before the council sat. She felt
that she had done n great wrong,
and without consulting anybody
went To DR.. Storrs and told him il
was false; she explained how she
yielded to Theodore's forciblc per-
suasion. The doctor said he wish
ed he had known it earlier.
Mr.. Moulton has not yet return
ed to Brooklyn although all inter
ested express themselves anxious
that he should tell all he knows.
Gen. Tracy, of the council for
Mr.. Beecher before the Plymouth
investigation committee, stated
that he was greatly surprised that
Moulton had not appeared before
the committee.
TILToN DISCHARGED.
Tilton was dischars ed from the
suit brought by Raynor becaus the
charge oflihel was not supported
by the party it was claimed he
libeled, which was Mr.. Beecher.
ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF Mrs.
TILToN.
A summary of the long examin-
alton of Mrs. Tilton on Friday
evening is published this morn
ing, and claimed to have been OBJ
tanned directly from the best
source OF information-Mrs. Til
ton.
She told Miss Anthony tho story
OF all the accusations made by her
hu sband and explicitly declared to
he that Mr.. Tilton accused her
of infidelity with several other gen
tlemen of Brooklyn, beside Mr..
Beecher.
Mrs. Tilton claimed, she assured
Miss Anthony, that there was not
bit of truth in the accusations,
and she never gave her the least
reason to assert that she had con-
fessed to any act of .wrong-doing.
Miss Anthony in turn informed
Mrs. Tilton of certain acts of inf
deity on the part of Mr.. Tilton.
Mr.. Tilton seemed to have sort
Of mania for DINING in her ears
the belief that Mr.. Beecher was
guilty. Tie used repeatedly TO
take down the Bible and read to
her the passage: e'Rpt L say unto
you, that whosoever looketh on q
woman to Inst after her hath COM
mitted adultery within his heart, "
and would then say, "there, Elilzl-
beth; don't you see Mr.. Beecher is
guilty OF adultery
Mrs. 'Tilton being asked if she
had the thoughts ofadultery in her
mind when in that letter she refer
red To her ain, answered she har
not the least thought of that kind. |
When Mrs. Tilton was removed
from the trorbfe OF her home and
