Susan B. Anthony Interviewed.
The Utica Morning Herald to-day prin ts
the report OF an interview with Susan B.
Anthony, at Unadilla, Otsego county, New
York, regarding the Beecher Tilton matter
Miss Anthony declined to affirm or deny
the statement attributed to her by Mrs.
Stanton and her brother D. r. Anthony, and
said: "If did say it, it was very ungraclous
of them to repeat it; if l did not, it was
worse for them to ma Ike it up" When asked
if she would 60 before the Plymouth
Church committee if summoned she re-
piled decidedly: "No, what have to say
will be said only before tribunal com
petent to deal with the matter, and able TO
compel unwilling witnesses"
The Chicago Post and Nail says: There
is lady in this city we'll known in social
and newspaper circles. Her character for
veracity is unimpeachable, and her stand
ing high. She is friend of Miss Anthony,
and sympathizing with her in her views
upon the right of suffrage. About a year
since when Miss Anthony was in the city,
the last conversation between the two
ladies turned upon the Beecher- Tilton
scandal, and Miss Anthony told all she
knew about it. To-day reported repaired
TO the lady's residence, and substantially
the following interview took place:
RepOrter-Madame, did Miss Anthony
say anything to you on the occasion of her
last visit to Chicago in reference to the
Beecher-Tilton scandal
Madame-She did. do not care to have
my name published in connection with this
interview, and if you will promise that l
will tell you the substance of what Miss
Anthony said. The conversation turned
upon this subject. Miss Anthony positively
stated that Mrs. Tilton had never made any
such confession of criminality as is alleged
in tine press dispatches this morning, in an
intel view purporting to have taken place
with Mrs II. B. Stanton. She stated that
she never had a conversation with Mrs.
Tilton on the subject of the whereabouts OF
Frank Moulton.
The New York Times of last night says
From a most reliable source il is ascertain
ed that every effort is being made on the
part of the investigating committee to OBJ
tain the testimony Of Mr.. Frank MOultOn.
special messenger has been dispatched
by the committee to serve a summons upon
him. No information could be obtained at
his residence as to his whereabouts. He
had been reported at one time to be at Mar.
ragansett Pier, but that was ascertained to
be incorrect 1t was afterward rumOred
that he was at Wakefield. small village in
the southerly part Of Rhode Island, and
later still that he was at or near Boston; but
up to the present he has not Deen found.
The committee state that ne will be
found if possible. An autograph letter has
been addressed by Mr.. Beecher to Mr..
Moulton requesting him to testify and to
produce before the committee all letters
and papers in his possession. The absence
of Mr.. Moulton excites universal comment
The Methodist Opinion Of the Beecher
Case.
The Christian AdrOcote of July 30 says:
Hitherto in our remarks upon the case
we have proceeded on the presumption that
Mr.. Beecher would be acquitted of any
thing fatally damaging to his ministerial
reputation, by thorough and impartial
h,,S bold <1,nt
tion no longer, though we do not assume the
contrary, but wait for the end. To our
seeming every movement in the matter on
both sides has damaged the cause of the
great accused, but nothing else has ope-
rated SO unfavOrably on the affair as the
course that Mr.. Beecher and his friends
have chosen to pursue. Were the case as
bad as Tiiton makes it out, or even half as
bad, which would be bad enough to make
a fatal ending, then we should expect Mr..
Beecher and his friends to act just as they
do. II there is nothing very serious to be
alleged and proved, then the conduct of
the defense is not the least of this bundle of
mysteries. With the deepest sorrow and
alarm at what has transpired we await
further developments, determined to cease
to hope only when compelled to-" -
A Catholic View of the Cases
The Baltimore Catholic Mirror, Of August
l, says: "The Catholic finds no consola-
tion nor cause for self-congratulation in the
scandals which occur among thS Christian
ministers and people outside of the church.
1t is true same of them are charg cable to a
defective theology. but more are chargeable
to human frailty-not misled by wrong
religion, but violating all the fundamental
principles Of religion. That this or that
preacher scaudalizes the community is
nothing to US; it makes them worse. but
makes US no better If loud mOuthed advo-
Gates OF moral ideas and higher law in
choose to re-enact the melancholy
drama of ArseAno and LOthariO, we can
only deplore great public scandal. Some
times we are driven to show up i'll deeds de-
but we are only disposed to show
up our own works-of our religious oppo-
nerts when showing their unfitness for re-
formers.
Mrs. Tilt0n.
The Brooklyn Eagle states that Mrs. Til
ton in her examination before the com.
mittee, said that when Tilton brought the
to his home she tried to induce
them to leave. but they would not 90 until
she sent for the police to eject them. Re-
ferring to the night when Susan ANTHONY
was there, she said it was a scene Of great
violence and excitement. She said she
never saw Theodore 90 crazed as he was
that night. Miss Anthony slept with her
that night. and made very free reference to
the stories in circulation about Theodore's |
lite. She said most solemnly that it was
not true that she had made any confession
70 susan OF any Improper act on her part.
