More Beechery-The Committee Reticent.
New YORK, August 13.-Tne movements
of the Beecher investigating committee are
daily being more completely wrapped up
and yelled in impenetrable mystery, as
this evening for more than an hour no trace
could be found Of them.
Visits were paid by members OF the press
to Mr.. Shearman's and the Rev. Mr.. Vore's
residence, but no clue to their whereabouts
could be obtained. Mr.. Beecher's house, on
Columbia Height, was fixed upon as the
only place where the committee were likely
to be, and the sidewalks in consequence
were thronged with newspaper representa-
tives.
At about half past P. NJ. Hill drove up
in a carriage, accompanied by q strange
gentleman, and entered the house. Mr..
Willard 0. Bartlett and Mr.. Shearman en-
tered short time before. Some of the
members of the committee were observed to
enter Mr. Beecher's, and it is supposed they
had gone there at an early hour.
The committee adjourned at about half
past eleven, but would give no information
as to their movements. Mr. MOultOn's
statement, however, they said would not be
made public tonight, nor could they say
when it would he ready. It is not known
whether Mr.. Beecher was before the COM
mittee, its members being silent on this as
every other question of large import.
The Beecher committee is weary. The
papers will probably be submitted to the
Subcommittee, who will report to the full
committee shortly before FROST when they
will report to the Plymouth congregation,
the bulk of whom are now wOrshiping at
places of resort.
Beecher proposes writing twenty columns
in the Tribune. 1t seems that he hopes that
words and time will take the edge from the
truth.
Beecher Before the Inquisition.
At ten o'clock this morning the investi-
eating committee met in Beecher's back
parlor. Two stenographers were present.
Beecher sat at the foot Of the table holding
a manuscript, from which he gave his
statement, refuting the charges Of TiltOn.
He answered such questions as were put to
him by the committee.
At $50 P. M. the Plymouth pastor was
still under examination.
Beecher's Statement.
Beecher's statement opens thus:
Gentlemen of the COmmittee-In the
statement addressed to the public, July z,
l gave an explicit, comprehensive and
solemn denial to the charges made by
Theodore TiltOn against me. That denial
now repeat and reafirm.
Four years ago Theodore Tilton fell from
Ouc VI tu0 pIOuuCSC CuAtOAA&A OAoAAo Al
America and after few months became
the associate and representative of Victoria
Woodruff, and friend of her strange
cause. By his follies he was bankrupt in
reputation, occupation and resources.
The interior history l am now to give
shows his attempts to so employ me as to
restore him in business reputation and
place him upon the eminence from which
he had fallen.

The denounciatiOn of TiltOn is terrible.
