MR. NoULToY
10 a wealthy merchant probably about SO
years old. He has rcd hair and light
skin, q mustache, and bold, prompt way
of speech. He is the physical antipodes
| OF Tilton, who is a tall, strange, unworldly-
looking man like great Sunday-school |
boy. Moulton is rough and ready. These |
two men think highly of each other, and |
| Moultop says that Tilton's house was q
perfect rose-garden, and when he heard of |
the skeleton in il, he was moro staggered
than ever in his lifo. think he has ex-
treme contempt for Beecher's hypocritical |
life, but no dislike. lie thinks too. that |
in his efforts to shake or the coil Of guilt |
which haas long enveloped him, Beech
ere remaining gracos have been warped
that melancholy has enshrouded him, and
he has become uugracious, evaslve, crafty,
and desperate.
After leaving Moulton, Tilton, Judge
Morris, and wont 20 dine at n restaurant
opposite tho Academy Of Music, and there
1 noticed that Mr.. Tilion returned bow
from a rather fne-looking red haired man,
who sat with a lad at table. "Strsngo

TO whose house my wife was lured. He
has done us much to stir up this
s,riis as any man, bu, probably from no
malice"
While on the way TO Conev Island',
going through the park, l said TO |
Judge Morris, Mr. Tilton's counsel |
"Are you going to show character |
on Beecher's trial, no matter whom il con.
Germs p
"Yes sir, ,they have tried to drive my |
client out Of society. But society take its |
| share. Mr. Tilton has suffered in this case,
| and yet kept up his head as no man Of his |
age ever did. lie has been in peril OF rs.
| ssssination. Everything vile has been i'm
puted TO him. go into this case with my |
heart, and Mr. Beecher has no sacredness |
in my mind. The people look upon
this secret church Investigation with dis

you make the world UNDERSTAND that curl
Gus theory that your wife could surrender

"Because," said Tllton, II know II from
knowing her from her letters which you
have seen from the absolute possession
OF her whole nature by the religious Al
fectione. To her, Henry ward Beecher

that the Man OF Nazareth might have
made it part OF His Gospel to teach wo-
men to commit error with him To Ellz-
