Jay MORNING, AU(
THE EVERLASTING SCANDAL.
The Investigating Committee
to Meet Again.
NEW YoRK, August THE Plymouth
Investigating Committee will hold an
other meeting this evening, chiefly for
consultation. Several of the minor wit
nesses summoned have declined to testify
and Others have as vet given no answer
1t is remarked by the counsel that
considerable number Of witnesses have
been requested to appear before the COM
mittee who are only expected to furnish
unimportant links in the chain of evil
dence. Some Of them will supply details
concerning the married life of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tilton, the class of evidence which
the counsel for Mr. Beecher consider,
essential to investigation. The counsel
also say. il is still uncertain whether Mr..
Beecher will present a written statement
To the committee or simply submit 10 AN
oral examination. He will be governed
by the wishes of the committee.
Bcecher has not been Summoned.
He has not received any summons
from them to testify, and the report that
he has drawn up written statement
which he read TO the committee, Is de-
clared to be- premature. Member, of the
committee say il j. impossible to tell when
the labors of the investigation will be-
over. 1t is
Undecided whether Beecher will be
called Monday Evening or NJ n La-
ter Date.
rs it is thought possible that the prc>cn-
| tatiOn of MOultOnS testimony may Sug-
I gest calling other witnesses aftcrward.
1t is suggested by one of the lawyers en-
! ploycd upon the case that the committee
/ may conclude that it is inadvi,able t"
! present their report for the colL Iteration
I of Plymouth Church till the return OF
/ many who are now away for summer
! rest. and can render full meeting of
the church possible.
MOuItOn Al Peacemaker.
Mr. Moulton said yesterday, hav"
/ hitherto endcavored to bring about pruc"
! between Becchcr and Tilton, and shall
continue to do So and hope to remove all
misunderstanding and bring the parties
/ to an intelligent realization of self inter
! est. Moulton has had long consultation,
/ with three criminal and two civil lawyers,
as we'll as with Benjamin f. Butler. The
| RESULT of all these talks is said to bc that
! Mr. Moulton will not be- too much Of
friend of Tlton to join in his bittcrnc>,
or of Mr.. Becchcr to refuse to tell
, fair story.
Most Convincing and Conclusive EYi-
dencc on Hand.
! Ex-Judgc Morris says that the owl
| dence Of which he was in possession
and which he was engaged in cullcctin"
! preparatory to tn" trial, WAS the most
convincing and conclusive which he hal
ever known in any case of law, and in
particular that Mrs Tilton'S statement
concerning her husbands cruelty, nd his
: locking her in her room like prisoner.
| his freezing and starving her. will be
shown to be such fiction that if there is
any insanity in the family ut all, tn"
charge will be at the door, not Of Mr.
: Tilton. but Of his wife
