morning mas Deen engaged IN the contrO
versy Of Tilton against Beecher. For
long time past he has been the advises 0
Moulton. and year ago he gave advlcl
which delayed an explosion. he has i'm
plicit faith In the truth Of his CLIENT
cause, and, while refusing 10 give AMI
opinion as 10 the solution, he says he hsi
known for a,year past the facts which
must now come out. He had laboret
hard 10 suppress them for the sake Of pub
lie decencY, but he felt now that the facts
horrible as they were, would have 10 bt
established. Mr.. Morris and District Al
torney Winslow had two long converse
tions yesterday as 10 the course to be pur
sued on Monday with regard to the Gay.
nor case Mr.. Morris did not express any
anxiety TO have the matter discontinued
but expressed his opinion that police
court was no place to try q case OF the
magnitude and interest Of this one
Mr.. Winslow shared the same opinion,
and though admitting that MIR. GaynoI
had q technical right 10 institute the pro-
ceedingS, seemed 10 conclude that in prac.
tice be would have no standing In court,
Mr. Beecher last evening spent some time
at Mr.. Shearmsn's house, and while he
was there his assistant, Mr.. Halliday,
drove up with lady, and Mr.. Bsechei
marched out in very dignided style to
the carriage, playiully reproaching Mr..
Halliday for devoting his time to such
lollies as driving around town and neg
lecting the care oI the Plymouth congre-
CATION imposed on him during the pastors
vacation. Mr.. Shearman said yesterday
that Mr.. Beecher was not preparing q de-
tailed statement in reply TO Mr.. Tilton's
charge. Such Q course was not deemed
at all necessary as Mr.. Tilton had not pro.
duced an item Of proof in support Of any
accusation he has made. The Committee
had notified Mr.. Beecher during
the day that they would require his testi.
mony alter Mr.. Moulton had given bis.
Mr.. Beecher felt confident that if Mr..
Moulton appeared and tells the truth,
that the whole charges made sgainst him
BY Mr.. Tilton, will be found absolutely
false shculd Mr.. Moulton not appear,
MIR. Beecher would give his testimony
Just the same. Mr.. Beecher had been ad.
vised TO bring the matter before Court
Of Justice, but the case would be thrown
out Of Court in moment, and the Com
mittee was appointed 10 secure an in
quiry why the Court would not secure
Tor Mr.. Beecher that complete vindication
which he desires. Mr.. Beecher had de-.
sired to have the investigation conducted
privately, so that the charges could have
no evil influence on the public. It
semi officially announced this morning
that the inquiries have been with regard
10 the reputation Of Mr.. Moulton, and
some testimony will be taken by the
Committee on this point.
The Beecher Investigation Committee
will meet again tonight. Frank Car
penter has been summoned to appear.
DR.. Storrs sends word that he will testify
before the committee ifpossible. A special
messenger was sent to Narragansett Pier
TO see Frank Moulton, but failed TO find
him. Mr.. Sherman, In an interview to-
day, said: " have talked with Mr..
Moulton on this subject, and he has moth.
ing 10 say that will hurt Mr.. Beecher. II
Is for Mr.. Moulton's own interest that he
does not speak. Mr.. MonltoD has held
very peculiar relations with Mr.. Tilton.
MIR. Moulton's testimony will not hurt
Mr.. Beecher's case. I know what Mr.,
Moulton's testimony is, and l wish he
would speak"
The Beecher Investigating Committee
resumed It's session this evening. Shortly
after s o'clock Mr.. Hill entered the house
accompanied by lady closely yelled.
About hall past 0 carriage drove up 10
the door, when young man jumped out
and ran rapidly up the steps OF Mr.. Storr's
residence, in which he disappeared. 10
a few minutes he came out again, entered
the vehicle, and was driven rapidly away.
In about half an hour alterward the same
carriage returned, and a gentleman
jumped out and rang the door. bell. The
door being opened, he spoke lew words
to the person who opened it, and came
back to the carriage. A young man who

came out and stated that he was a mes.
