MIR. TILToN ON HIS ARREST.
reporter OF the HERALD called upon Mr.. Tllton
about midnight for the purpose Of ascertaining
whether he could account for the action OF Mr..
Gaynor IN causing his arrest on charge Of libel.
He said be did not know the complainant, nor had
ever to his knowledge heard OF him. II MIR.
Gaynors motive was an honest and sincere
one then he commended the action. but II 1t

with Mr.. Bates, q neighbor, 10 Coney Island,

WaAT fLYI1yTa Ply nro6y SRUkcn r6Sr PEOPLE SAY
q reporter Of the HERALD called upon several OF
tine HaGsv q Plymouth en@rcn
Raymond. The first manifestation was that OF
intense surprise at the news. They evidently did
not believe the report to be true. Wnen convinced
that it was a fact they expressed their iull
conviction that this was either the work
OF MIR. Tilton or that the object OF the
complainant was an cndeavor to OBTAIN
both nOtorietv and money. In either case
1t would not AFFECT IN any way the course that Ply
mouth church had marked out for ITSELF The in
vestgatiOn would 20 on unto tire end. and any
criminal proceeding would be dependent upon
the action OF the committee who were now sitting
to take evidence.
GETTING TO HARD PAM
There was no disposition to shirk any part OF the
desirOus OF hearing rom Mr.. MoultOu and the COM
mittee mad requested his attendance before them
for that purpose Everybody who had anything 10
say that could throw light on this matter would
be welcomed before the committee, and there was
no disposition other than that OF getting tU the
hard pan OF this case as speedily as possible.
MR. REECHEK's STATEMENT.
When all the evidence was in and Mr. Moulton
had produced his documents, then Mr.. Beecher
proposed to make his detailed statement This, 1t
Is not unlikely, will assume the form OF cross
examination, and will have Y bearing on all the
more significant details Of the charges preferred
against Mr.. T1ltOn. The committee think that the
demand OF the press for the Immediate produc-
ground that II Mr.. Beecher were to make any de-
tailed reply before the most important OF the evi-
dence was submitted, it would only necessitate,
one or probably two supplementary examinations.
These are the reasons given with great sincerity,
BY those who have q right to speak for Mr..
Beecher. Tor the apparent delay In submitting any
further statement from Mr.. Beecher.
