Conclusion.
In concluding Mr.. Moulton refers to the con-
mIttee's report as but a ''rehash of the state
ment of the accused criminal, both written by
lawyers" and thinks it will convince no one,
lie complains that every one who has dared to
say word against Mr. Beecher's purity has
peen subjected TO obloquy aud detraction. AS
new phases of the case were presented new
explanations were presented. The letters were
claimed to be fOrgeres, while the originals were
destroyed. Then Carpenter was denounced as
a fool, then Mrs Hooker as insane. and before
the case required that Mrs. Beecher sho1ld be
CIRCULATED, she was malgned by William
Beecher, who to shcw that Henry looked upon
the marriage obligation as sacred, stated that
the latter had Suffered great trouble on ac.
count of his wife, and had endeavored to be
faithful to her, Notwithstanding the sore trials
she had cost him. 1t had separated him from
his kindred, from his brothers and sisters, who
were prevented from coming to the house on
her account. Yet he bore with her, and in
every way endeavored to arrange matters so
that they might visit him.
Finally MoultOn says he has been led to
make these disclosures by the assault made
upon him by Mr.. Beecher's friends. Up to the
time of these assaults he had revealed nothing,
and statements in newspapers reported as COM
ing from him were gathered from other sources.
"If,' he says, ''the true interests of the
Christian church are promoted, under the light
of existing and known facts, by sustaining
Beecher, as the foremost man in it, it is mat
ter of concern to Christian people in which my
judgment Will not be consulted. But let them
remember as they do so the teachings of the
