statement of Moulton, and although
100 600 copies were issued, by five
O'Clock the presses were stlil run
ming to supply the demand out OF
town. One OF the members OF the
committee of inquiry told reporter
he was utterly amazed at the weak
ness of the statement. There was
absolutely nothing in it; not par
ticle of evidence against Beecher.
Another telegraphed to Beecher:
Moulton's statement is utterly
harmless; we are perfectly satisfied
with the CASE other members Oh
the committee expressed themselves
we'll pleased with the statement, as
they said it contained no letters oi
Beecher's heretofore Unpublished,
which had the appearance OF sup
porting the theory OF Beechers
guilt. Sherman says he feels nom
ored and happy to be associated with
Beecher as an object of attack by
Moulton. Tilton declined to enter
into any detailed conversation about
Moulton's utterances. He told re-
porter that Moulton had told the
truth, and he was glad his informa-
ton had come before the public so
fully. 1t is expected that Tilton's
forthcoming statement Will be mace
public early next week, and Will
consist largely of an argument OF
the report OF the Investigating Com
mittee, Some of the members say
that during the delay there would
probably be no extensive changes In
the draft of the report submitted by
the subcommittee, and that II was
very likely their work would be
adopted in its present shape. Some
insisted on having more time to IN
spect the evidence in its completed
form. About the intent of the re-
port as exculpating Beecher there
was no dispute; the discussion was
only upon the form and fullne IS OF
the report.
The Euening Post says: We are
credibly informed that before Mr..
Beecher left Brooklyn, upon his
present Journey to the White Noun
tains, he expressed his determine
ton to bring, at all events, suit tor
| libel against Tilton, and also against
Mr.. Moulton, in case Of any pub
| LEGATION like that which was made
yesterday.
