MRS rTLToN ADMITS sexual RELATIONS.
Having now placed before the committee my
statement OF the 1acts concerning Mrs. I1lton and
the documentary evidence that have 60 support
them, and as they are diametrcany opposed to
her published statement, deem 1t my duty TO my
self and my position in this terrible business to say
that during this affair Mrs. Tilton has more than
once admitted to me and TO another person to my
knowledge-whom do not care TO bring into this
controversy-the fact OF her sexual relations with
Beecner, and she never has once denied them

purpose which i have already exhibited; but,

course being well understood by Beecher nltOn
and Mrs. Tilton to have taken place, my whole &C.

OF that fact, and was an endeavor, faithfully
carried out by me in every way possible to protect
the families OF both parties from the consequences
OF public disclosure OF Mrs. Tlton's admitted In.

Accordingly knowing that Mr.. Beecher and Mrs.
woodruff were to have an interview at my house
on the next day, ne came to 1t, uninvited, and
urged Mr.. beecDer TO preside on that evening at
bteinway Hall. After Mrs. W. left Tlton repeated
this urgency TO Beecher.
On that evening went to Stenway Hall with
nlrOn, and, finding no one there to preside Tlton
volunteered TO preside himself. which, believe,
posed attack on the Beecher family at that time.
