NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


be another outburst of the Tiltonian
nastiness and Plymouth lechery. 1t is
bound to come and probably before
this week closes.
It is admitted that Tilton will print evil
dence from Susan B. Anthony, sustain
ing his position. The points rade by
Miss Anthony have vital bearing on
the case. 1t is also reported that TIL
ton will print the con-
fession Of Elizabeth, made
to her mother. in which she quoted
from the confession made by her to
Theodore. 1t is stated that the letter
is half column in length. It is by far
the most important document that has
come to light since Beecher's apology
was printed.
Tilton declares he has not received a
line from Moulton. He has no idea
when Moulton will be in Brooklyn, but
he, this morning, reavowed his deter
mination to withhold his second state.
ment until MIR. Moulton' s. document has
been given to the world.
Two copyists were engaged by Tilton
this morning to prepare his statement
for the printers. I have seen enough
to convince me that Tilton has quite}as
strong and startling evidence in reserve
as was used in his first statement.
BosroN, Sept. Cit is reported upon
good authority that Mr.. Beecher ar
rived in Boston Monday evening and
was yesterday in consultation with
Moulton and Benjamin Butler. Mr..
Cleveland had undertaken the negotia.
tions with Moulton, but Butler said no
negotiations would be opened with any
persons but the principals. When this
decision was made known Mr.. Beecher
was summoned.
Frank Moulton has been in this city
for several days, in consultation with
Butler. There has certainly been an
attempt to patch up the matter and
stop the publication of the second
statement, but the negotiations have
failed and Moulton returned to New
York last night, bent on publishing his
statement.
1t will appear in the Graphic to-day
or tomorrow. Like his other produc-
ton, printed in the same paper, this is
said to be very long, but much more
nasty than the other. It is understood
that several prominent parties, whose
names have not, as yet, been connected
with the great scandal, will pow be
dragged intoit.
New YORK, Sept. 1l.--Moulton's
statement is to be printed this after.
noon, with fac similes of letters said to
have been written. him from Beecher,
Mrs. Morse and other persons. The
document will be long.
The Sun says the letters from
Beecher are not expected to add much
to the Testimony against him. One is q
| note enclosing check and directing
Moulton to use it at his discretion.
Another is friendly note, making
an appointment. In it Mr..
Beecher sends his love to Mrs. Emma
Moulton, and writes he is dreadfully
near the point she speaks Of some.
times.
One letter from Mrs. Morse is to be
produced, in which she addresses Mr..
Beecher as '.my dear son. and asks
him to help her pay her rent and pro.
vide for herself through the winter.
She refers to his (Beecher's) secret,
and says only six persons know it.
She writes of Elizabeth's home trouble
and thanks Beecher for the deep con.
ISOLATION he affords her daughter. The
letter closes: "Do you know, I think
it very strange that you should ask me
to call you my son.
| A letter dated July 28th, 1874, is to
be produced and by it Moulton intends
to show that up to that date Beecher
had not felt harsh toward him, even
though he paid seven thousand dollars
black-mail. The letter begins, ssMy
Dear Frank" and closes, ''yours CRATE
