short letter this morning. He says. in
the report of Mrs. Tilton's testimony.
before the Brooklyn committee, pre-
sented as making the following state
ment concerning a conversation which
she had solicited with me at my house
In March last, in which she ascribes
TO her husband the real authorship of
. letter written by her hand, and which
had been shown to me fifteen months
before, DR.. Storrs looked up and said ]:
l"I wish I had known that a week ago,
| because on that letter alone, believe
Mr. Beecher to be q guilty man. He
WAS N hurry. and said that i'll want
ed to talk further he would like me to
see his wife," ~
OF this statement DR.. Storrs writes /:
II INSIDE no such remark to Mrs. Til
ton concerning Mr.. Beecher. She
must have attributed to me an i,npros-
sion which was resting heavily on her
own mind though / excused myself
nom general and prolonged CONVEX
sation upon the matters with which
her present testimony is largely occu.
pied. Il was until she, in q brief
hours talk, had said all that she wish
cd to Ray In regard to the origin of the
latter referred to, and certainly nothing
could have been further from my mind
than the thought 0f, referring her to
my wife for further conversation on q
matter 80 entangled and every way so

ing Of the Bcecher- -1ilton case: "This
entire business has caused me much
pain. have had no hand id it and do

Mrs. Hooker In Plymouth Church,
caused BY her belief In Beecher's i'm
morality, and bot for the fact that she

strus his course unkindly. ! consider

less, TO retain my position and pew in
the church, because I intended to be

AZ to Tilton, Bowen said he did not
care which way II went with him. The

TO my grave without saying something
concerning my relations with this
scandal.

letter from Catherine e. Beecher pro-
| testing against the action of certain se-
cnlar and religious papers in accepting
the attacks and assertions against the
character of her brother, Henry Ward
Beecher, - conclusive evidence of his

blemished reputation should be q suf-

per assaults on many pure and distin-
guished ladies. She writes to appeal
for protection for her sex.
