necessary. l know he came away with
the paper in his possession. Mr.. Tilton

STATEMENT OF REV. DR.. BACON.
Rev. Dr.. Bacon, in an interview, says: ::
"My belief Is that Theodore Tilton has,
for the past three years, been cackling to
lay this egg ibis statemenl), and used my
lecture as pretext. That investigating
committee is, in my judgment, a very
poor substitute ior legal proceedings. 1
look upon 1t as an er Pdrte proceeding.
Mr.. Beecher selects the men who compose
1t. It's verdict, whatever It is, will not be
satisfactory 10 tho public unless the pub.
Lie have evidence that satisfies them quite
independently Of the committee. Person:
ally, might feel inclined TO accept their
verdict, but the world looks for judgment
authoritative and final. ] feel no especial
sympathy for Theodore Tilton, and feel
the greatest reluctance 10 Withdraw my
confidence in Mr.. Beecher."

hulls stories, and has gone so far as 10

Of his sin in Plymouth Church, she pro-
posing 10 appear on tho platform in his
place on the occasion and receive his con.
tession, and herself conduct the services. "
