A Lively Corpse.

Quite an amusing incident occurred on
Friday evening last, at the residence OF a
well known physician Of West Baltimore.
In order TO pursue his anatomical studies
inteligently, the doctor secured the ser
vices of a couple of professionals" to pro-
vide him with " subject" and on Friday
night the last named individuals started on
their assigned duty. Upon reaching the
western suburbs. the PROSTATE form Of an
individual was found lying alongside a
fence dead-drunk. The men being some
thing of ways. at once placed the uncon-
scious form of the inebriate in bag, and
shouldering their prize. soon arrived at the
doctors residence and rang the bell. The
doctor appeared. and as there were a num-
Der of doctors in the parlor, quickly order
ed the men to the rear. where they soon
arrived and deposited the corpse" in a
carriage-house. by the doctors directions.
They then received their fee" $40 bill,
and took their departure. Hardly had the
gate closed before ghostly groan was
heard in the carriage-house. The doctor
was at first horror-stricken. but subse-
quent sounds and movements soon con-
WINGED him that the body" in the az was
yet in the flesh. Without waiting to ex-
anime the subject" he rapidly pursued
the worthy pair. remarking when he came
up with them. that "that man in the bag
is not dead" 1--WE know that" retorted
enc Of the men, "but you can kill him
whenever you please" The doctor has
concluded TO examine all I" subjects" here
after before paying for them. He pro-
nounces the "body in the bag the liveliest

After reading this statement Moulton
was subjected to brief cross-examina-
ton, IN the course of which he reiterated
his readiness TO establish the authenticity
OF the letters, copies of which he had
submitted to the committee. and also ex-
pressed his readiness to submit the orig
Mals to the examination of a member
or members OF the committee. He fur
Iier refused to give any more evidence
or submit any other documents than such
as were referred TO by Nh. Tilton in his
statement before the committee.
MI. Ninslow, 4 member OF the com

she (Tilton) had condOned his wife's
fault" Mr.. 3. said: "Condoned has
legal meaning and a general meaning;
but I used the word as literary
man would use it, not as lawyer.
If I had used it in a legal phrase
the word would have been otfense,
not fault" BY the word "fault" he
referred to the complaints Tilton made
in general in respect TO his wife, the i'm
preston conveyed to him (Beecher) from
beginning to end being that he was
charged with having taken advantage of
the simplicity Of Mrs. Tilton to steal her
affection to himself and away from her
husband As to the statement that Mr..
Tilton had enioined him not to betray
his wife, Mr.. B. said it meant not to be-
tray this whole difficulty into which his
household had been cast" In reply to
4 question as to what were his ideas on
the free-lOve question, Mr.. BeeCher
stated that he abhOrred every manifeS-
tatiOn of the free-love doctrine that he
had seen in theory, and abhorred every
advocate of the free-love doctrine that he
had known. He had never met the
W Oodhulls more than three times in his
life. In the further course of the cross
examination Mr.. Beecher testified to
having paid to Mr. Tilton, through Mr..
Moulton, in the way of contributions,
sums amounting to some $1,000. A pay
ment of 5000 in one sum was made by
him because it had been represented TO
him that the whole difficulty could be
settled by that amount of money, which
would put the affairs of the Golden Age
on a secure footing; that they would be
able to go right on, and that with the
going on of them the safety of Tilton
would be assured, and that would be d
settlement of the whole thing; it was to
save Tilton pecuniarily.

After making his statement to the
Investigating Committee Mr.. Beecher
was cross-examined at great length, and
IN answer to questions propounded by
members of the committee sought to
throw additional light on some portions
of the statement made by him. As to
why he had said in letter dated Feb. Z,
1871, "Of course I can never speak with
her OIrs. Tilton) again without his per
mission, and don't know that even then
it would be best" Mr.. Beecher explains
that it was because Mr.. Tilton
had sent him word forbidding him
to ever enter his house again. Mr..
B. knew he had frequently wished he
was dead. and so had Aessrs. Tilton and
Moulton used the same expression in his
presence, because Of the troubles and per
plexities in which they were mixed up.
As to the expression in one of his
(Beecher's) letters to Mr.. Moulton that
