MIR. BEECHER ARRAIGNED~
SPECIFIC CHARGES AT LAST.


THEODORE TlLroN CHARGES HENRY WARD BEECHEN
WITH ADULTERY WITH MRS. TILT0N-MRs TIL
TONS Confessions AND RETRACTIoSs - Mr..
BEECHERs LETTERS OF REMoRsE-EXPLANATIoNS
AND DENIaIs OF MR. BEEcHERs FRIENDS
FORTHCOMING STATEMENTS By MRS. TILT0S AND
Mr.. BEECHER.
Mr.. Theodore Tilton's statement OF his
charges and proof against Mr.. Beecher, as
read to the Committee on Monday night, is
herewith published. 1t is, in terms, specific
allegation of adultery, committed by Mr.
Beecher with Mrs. TiltOn, first at Mr.. Beecher5
own house on the evening of Oct. 10. 1863, and
frequently thereafter at the residences OF both,
and elsewhere, until the Spring of 1870 IL alleges
Mr.. Tilton's discovery of Mr. Beecher locked
up with Mrs. Tilton in her bedroom bis see
ing improper liberties taken with her by Mr..
Beecher in his library Mrs. TlltOn's
own confession to him Of her guilt, and
her explanations of it, on July 3, 1870;
that this confession was subsequently
put in writing by her. and was shown by Mr..
F. d. MoultOn to Mr.. Beecher; that Mr..
Beecher first procured from Mrs. Tilton
written retraction of the whole story, and then
confessed to Mr. Moulton bis own guilt, re-
turned to the latter Mrs. Tiltons retraction
and threatened suicide in case of exposure.
The full text of Mr.. Beechers apology il given
with parts Of several other letters by him, ad-
dressed, like it, to Mr.. Moulton, all expressing
remorse and contrition for some great but un-
named wrong done Mr.. and Mrs. Til
ton. A letter from Mr.. Beecher to
Mrs. TiltOn eulogizes MOulton az tho
friend who had tied up the storm ready to
burst on their heads. A letter from Mrs. TIL
ton to her husband, naming no one, says she
first saw that the love she felt and received
was sinful on reading Griffith Gaunt, and
assures her husband now of a purified
and, restored love whenever he yearns
towards her with true feeling. The rest Of
the statement deals with the provOcaton given
for this exposure by both Mr.. Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton and with the happy character
of the family life thus destroyed.
Mr. Shearman, the Clerk of Plymouth Church.
and Mr.. Tracy, Mr.. Beecher's counsel, were in
consultation yesterday with Mrs. Tilton and
Mr. Beecher. Both the latter are preparing
statements to be laid before the Committee.
That of Mr. Beecher is expected on Thursday.
Mr. Beechers friends analyze Mr.. Tilton's
statement, expose some inconsistencies in his
references to his wife, deny the Interpretation
placed on the pastors letters, and say Mr..
Beecher did not write some OF them.
Much testimony is yet to be taken, besides
that of Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Iilton. Tho
Committee still refuse to express any opinions.
The excitement over the subject grows Intense
and universal.
