The Brooklyn Argus yesterday printed part
OF an Interview with Frank Il. Carpenter ON
says he WAS first brought actively into the case
by Beecher, IN May, 1873 Beechor sent for
Carpenter, wishing him 20 come Immediately 20
Brooklyn. Beecher had heard that Henry q.
Bowen had reRsserted 90 CARPENTER the charges
which he had formerly made 20 nlton against
Beeeher, and which he had Withdrawn in ~
tripRrtite agreement and that Bowen had ssid
IN the presence of Mr.. T.. II. Halton, OF Mil
waukee, and Carpenter that he did not wish
ton. Beecher wished Carpenter 20 confront
said that the tripartite covenant Was
to be made public he went 20 Mr..
but Mr. MoultOn said he wished Carpenter 20
20 TO Bowen's residence with Claim and M0ul-
ton. They went, and Carpenter repeated In
the presence Of Bowen, Clanin and MOulton
the statements made by Bowen himself con-
corning Beecher. Bowen admitted all, and
Clafiin expressed his astonishment that Bowen
should have told these things after signing the
covenant. ClAfiin Was the person who Induced
Bowen 10 sign the covenant Bowen said he
protested against making the Agreement pub
lie. Carpenter said TO Bowen II the statements
were untrue he should make a most unqualified
public denial, but ~ true be should stand by
them. Bowen had said 20 Carpenter that
Beecher had made q confession 20 him on HIS
knees. Mr.. Tilton and Mr.. MOultOn had been
told by Beecher that this was lie. Carpenter
said TO Bowen, "there Is q direct lie between
you and Beecher, and, for one, want 20 know
the truth"
Mr.. Carpenter repeated 20 the writer the sub
stance OF a conversation which took place be.
tween MIR. Beecher and himself on Sunday,
June 1, ISIS, after service at Plymouth church.
We can only say that the statements which Mr..
Carpenter says Beecher made that evening are,
II true, OF the utmost significance and import
arce. MIR. Carpenter declares that he viii not
make public this conversation unless he Is called
upon 20 testify before the proper tribunal. IL
was during this interview that Mr.. Beecher
told him that in csse Theodore would make GER
tain dsayowals, lie would shsre his fame and
fortune with him, and pour IN subscribers 70
the Golden Age" by the thousands.
MORE CONTRADICTIONS OF TTLTON.
In his published cross examination, MIR. Til
ton makes mention Of the names OF several
gentlemen, aud cenies the truth OF certain
statements made by them. He denied that he
had said 70 Mr.. Halliday, the assistant pastor OF
Plymouth church, &" My wife IL as pure As the
light" Mr.. Halliday yesterday dictated the
follow ing contradiction TO 4 reporter
son the 18th OF November, 1872, the morning
OF the Monday Oh which woodruff & RObinson's
stores were burned Sir. Tilton called AZ my
house between 8 and 10 O'Clock In the morning.
lie came IN Unexpectedly 20 me, and stated that
he had called by the advice OF request II don't
remember which OF his friend Frank MOultOn,
70 contradict the Woodruff scandal. In the
course OF that conversation he said' My vile A.
as pure g. the hight aud added, Mr.. Beecher
will tell yoU thar she IL rs pure as gold, or as
pure a. An angel don't recollect whether he
said gold or angel-one OF the two. So emphatic
weTe hs expressions az 10 Mrs. TllUOn's purity
that had not the least suspicion that he woald
attempt In any way 20 impncate Mrs. IiltOn"
Mr.. Samuel WilkesOn is also alluded 20 n
Mr. Tilton's cross examination, and his state
ment before the committee thai Mr. 1iltOn
had cOmplaiDedtO him that MI. Beecher had
not befriended him denied. MIR. WilkesOD re-
sfiirms the truth Of his statement before the
committee a. follows. IL reafirm every word
Of my published testimony. Ii is truo--eyery
word OF it, and will testify % II under oath in
a court Of justice When TiltOn denies my
statement OF his conversation with me he lies.
Indeed, be Is the champion liar OF America
no man since Baron Munchausen's lay has lied
as lie lief daily"
Mr. Sage said that TO the best Of hIs recollec-
ton nothing was omitted from TiltOn's testi-
mOny m the published statement, and he 49,
did not hear Til0on testify TO Beecher's and
Mrs. Tilton's confession OF criminality. dc
might have said this In an informal chat with
some member OF the committee.
Mr.. Claftn says he was not present when the
alleged omitted testimony was given, but I'M
dersto0G the statements W re made IN an intor-
NAL conversation on an afternoon when no ties.
Another member OF the committee save Til
ton came one afternoon before them aud said
he wss Lot well enough 60 proceed with his tes-
timOny. desultOry conversation ensued, in
which lie made the statement about confessions
Of Mr.. Btecher. No notes were taken OF this
as the meeting and CONVERSATION were informs.
IEcIDRHTAL NOTES.
The investigating committee held three
hours session last night, ana adjourned until
this evening. Only one witness was examined.
His name and the character Of his testimony
could not be ascertained.
The Brooklyn Union says" Not half the
evidence is yet received by the committee.
Moulton will be invited 70 testify before Il sech-
er, whose statement will be reserved until the
last moment. Mrs. rilton will be again called,
and possibly Titon."
Edward Oyibgton, al whose house Mrs. Til
ton IL stopping, says she lie perfectly calm and
serene She read the interview with Mrs.
Stanton, and pronounced IL utterly false. She
has been advised by her friends not 20 make
any written denial OF statements from such
sources
Mrs. TiltOn's children have gone 70 Mt. Clair
20 her friends.
Beecher viii net appear before the committee
tonight, as be cannot testify satisfactorily to
himself or Others until he has seen the alleged
originals OF letters written by him. lie has
kept no copies Of any letters he has written.
The Graphic has had interviews with several
committeeman. who say Beecher has no inten-
ton OF resigniDg, and stories 20 that effect are
mere gossip.
Mr.. Tilton was visited yesterday BY a number
Of members u the press, but ms answer 20 ali
was, 81 have nothing further 10 say In regard %
the case, anO 1 decline 70 be Interviewed" IL
Is said that IN the libel suit he will bring for
ward witnesses whom the committee refuse 60
call. This coarse 10 II said, will be the only one
by which the matter can he solved.
