and clear an explanation of all the facts and

explanation.
MRS. HOOKER TO BEECHER.
HARTFORD, Nov. 1871.
Dear Brother-In reply to your words, I" II
you still believe In that woman" &C., let me
say that from her personally 1 have never
heard a word on this subject, and when nearly
a year ago heard that when here in this city,
she said she had expected you to introduce her
at Steinway Hall. 1 wrote most indignant
and rebuking letter, to which she replied in a
manner that astonisbei me by its calm asser-
ton that she considered you as true friend to
her as 1 myself.
enclosed the letter to Mr.. Tilton, asking
him to show it to you if he Thought best, and
write me what it all meant
He never replied nor returned the letter as l
requested, but l have a copy of it at your SER

Very respectfully,
H. G. BOWEN.
In pursuance of this correspondence we met
at my house and entered into negotiations
about the settlements of the contract with
Tilton at that time. During the interview L
showed Bowen the letter of Jan. LIST of Tilton
which he (Tilton) had placed in my bands TO
use in accordance with my own views (hereto-
fore given.) Bowen, during the reading of the
letter, seemed to be much excited, and at only
one point of the letter questioned the accuracy
of the statements which states as folloWs
THAT abiding by name to o woman, now
widow, whose husbands death no doabt was
fastened by his knowledge that Mr. Beec5er
| had maintained with her an improper lntl-
| Macy
| To that he said, 81 didn't make that allusion,.
| Mr.. Tilton made it." l went on to the close OF
| the letter and finished 1t when Bowen said to
me, ''Has Tilton told Beecher the contents of
| this letter?'' L replied HE has" He said,
| "What shall do?' What | said at that in
terview was said in confidence. We struck
| hands there aud pledged ourselves to God that
| no one there present would reveal anything
| there spoken. | said to him, ut would be an
| easy matter to confirm what you say, or prove
| that what you say Is false.
| Mr.. johnson says,a and this confirms what you
| say in regard to one point, namely, that the al
| fusion TO the widow was made by Theodore
| Titon aud that you said you had no doubt thai
her husbands death was caused by his know
ledge of her improper intimacy with Beecher
Quoting your language he says that you said
II have no doubt of it whatever" Mr. John
son also says that your statements in rege re
to Beecher were not intmatlons OF his adul
teries, but plain aad straightforward charges
of the same He says that You said that you
knew of four or five cases of Mr. Beecheri
adulterous intercourse with women.
Mr.. johnson says also that you at that inter
view you plainly declared that Beecher hat
confessed his guilt to you.
/ also said to him, "Mr. Tilton states tina
you said, Il can't stand it any longer. Yo'
and owe duty to society in this matter ,
That man ought not to stay week in his pull
nit. IL isn't safe for our families to have hin
in this city. 1 also said to him, Mr.: johnson
| also states that at the interview of Decembe
26th, at your house. you voluntarily pledges
your word to MIR. johnson that you would TAX
