TIE BROOKLYN TERROR.


Cs1A ClairveyaAtly.
From tn Brooklyn Argus Of Saturday
An Argus reporter met Mrs. Vic
toria Woodruff this morning. and
an interview with her in regard to
the statement published by Mr..
Tilton last night. She looked well,
though evidently . little fatigued
by her long journey. and spoke
with her usual vivacity and earn
estness, occasionally breaking out
into sharp words Of anger as she
became excited over her subject.
Her first words were: How on
earth did you find out that ! was
here? Ihave been trying to keep
out Of the way Of newspaper men,
because ] am tired out, and II they
found out where I was ! would be
worried to DEATH"
Reporter-I had some difficulty
| in finding you, mada m, and, now
that / have succeeded I would like
to ask II you have read Mr.. Tilton's
statement, published in last nights
Argus, aud. If 80, what your opin.
ion OF it Is.
Mrs. Woodhull-I have read II
| through. think Mrs. Tilton's re-
| ferences to myself are contemptibly
mean. They are as false as they
are cowardly.
Neither Theodore Tilton nor any
one else can speak Of my "blacken'
ed character" When I went t.
Europe to take a little necessary
rest and recreation after my hard
work, and to prepare myself for my
lecturing trip by trying to get a lit
Etle health. he and his friends i'm
mediately endeavored to cast oblo
guy on me BY saying that I hat
been intimidated or bought up By
the Beecher party. He knows that
when he says that, he lies. HI
knows, and Mr.. Beecher knows
and Mr.. Moulton knows, that al
their money can not buy me, AM
all their powerful influence can no
intilnidate me from going on In th
straight course which have lai
out for myself in all this matter
They know that / published III
only plain, ungarbled true STATE
ment Of the case, and have alway
been willing to take the consequei
ccs Of that publication. MIR. Tilto
is no more to me than Mr.. Beeche
nor Mr.. Beecher than Til.ol

ofbIibing me to keep quiet. Is falls
His statement that he broke vii
me in the Spring Of 1872 because
threatened to attack several Of Il
