want for money; he could have 5000 If he needed

Kingsley:
When Mr. Kingsley was In the city week or 10 days
ago, tho Beecher-TiitOn scandal at its hight At
that time neither Mr.. Mouton nor Mr.. Beecher han
made any statement. Mr.. Kingsley thought the scan
dal was bringing dscredt everybody connected with
It. and was certain to involve the assailants OF Mr.
Beecher in common ruin He is and has been very
friendly to Mr. Ton although they are not on intimate
terms. know he believed that the best thing MI III
could do was shake off his trouble and take up
the interrupted business Of his life In his own words
he thought in this that there had been enongh OF
pulling down, and that 1t was time to try and build
somebody up. l have heard HIM say that be would
gladly help Theodore Tlton, and am sure that all the
foundation there Is for Mr.. TltOns statement s that
Mr.. Kingsley told him what he certainly told Others
that he would willingly contribute, OF his own money

disgraceful business to an end.

THE CHARGES AGAINST Mr.. MOULTON.
A COMMITTEEMAN SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT BE
EXPLAINED AWAY
One of the Committee said yesterday that the
Committee would not necessarily break up after
presenting the report on the evidence to the
Examining Committee, but might still be ready for
further work if aught should be necessary. They
were still willing to hear Mr.. Moulton If he would
send them word that he wished to appear before
them but there no reason for their waiting all
Summer for him, when he had declared stoutly that
he would not come before them again. They had
waited fortnight for him after his first words to
them and when he came he refused to disclose any
thing new. Now if he makes statement through
the press the Committee will take no notice OF 1t
unless there is something in it worthy OF serious
attention, and then Mr. Beecher may make some
explanation in reply through the press
A member of the Committee told TRIBUNE re-
porter yesterday that Mr.. Moulton would find IL
impossible to explain away or make light OF the
charges of blackmail which have been brought
homo to him. Before Mr. Beecher made these
charges in the presence of the Committee his ad-
visers had looked into the carefully and learned
what they had to rely upon. 1t was learned that
the books of Mr.. MOulton's firm WoOdrutf a. Robin
son) showed monetary transactions of Alr. Mouton,
bearing out Mr.. Beechers charges, and the firm did
not deny the fact The speakers theory OF the
matter was that Mr.. Moulton had let Mr.. Tilton
have money from time to time and concluded to
try to repay hmsef by getting money from Mr.
Beecher, and when he obtained 5000 and other
sums he turned the money over to his own account
Mr.. Beecher's friends and members of the Com
mittee make light of the talk of Mr. Tilton's suit
against Mr. Beecher, which they do not expect will
be carried on. as they say Mr.. Tilton has no
evidence of consequence which will be admitted in
a court Both Mr.. Titon and his counsel were
strictly reticent about their intentions and opinions
yesterday Mr.. Titon simply said that he had en-
gagged another lawyer to assist in his suit. This
lawyer is understood to be Gen. Roger A. Pryor.
