NEW YORK, August 12.-On recorC
book in the registers Office of Brooklyn
| there is a mortgage signed by Henry
w. Beecher and Eunice w. Beecher, hi
wife, for five thousand dollaIs on thei
Columbia Hights residence. It is dated
May l, 1878, and sworn to before Justice
OF the Peace Snedeker, before whom
Theodore 4ilton swore to his statement
charging Mr.. Beecher with adultery
Horace Webster, president OF the Brook
lyn savings bank, is said to have made
the loan. The mortgage was given about
the time Beecher's son Henry became
involved in bis lumber. business in Al
bany, but it is strongly limited in Brook
lyn that IL was procured to meet the
sudden demands from another quarter.
Mr.. MoultOn said this morning that
his statement would not be made public
to day, but refused to answer the ques-
ton when the statement would be given
out. General Tracey said he had no idea
when MOultOn's statement would be
given TO the press, but thought it would
not be until Beecher had testified, when
Beecher's would be given. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Beecher will be before the in.
vestigsting committee this afternoon
but on this matter, as upon all Others
connected with the great scandal, the
committee is silent.
The Brooklyn Age says Mr.. BeecheI
will make his statement this evening,
and that it will make eight columns OF
that newspaper.
Theodore TiltOn gave an emphatic
contradiction to-day to the story kept
afioat since the suppressfo ion of the state
ment made by Moulton that a cOmpro-
mise would be made which would be
satisfactory to all parties concerned in
the scandal. TiItcn says, for his part,
he will enter upon compromise when
"paving-stones blossom into rOses."
The presentation to the committee by
MOulton of the short statement instead
OF the long one which he had at first
prepared, is said TO have been the result
of another tripartite agreement,
the parties thereto being General
Butler aud deneral TraooS, of counsel
for BeeeheT, and the investigating COM
mittee aud Moulton.
Butler and Tracey are represented to
have agreed that Moulton should con-
fine himself in his statement to dOcu-
ments alluded to by Tilton in his state
ment, and Moulton consented, in hope
some way might be found to bring about
the condition of affairs.
Mr.. WinsloW, ofthe Plymouth church
investigating committee, said to-day
it bad been arranged that MoultOp's
statement should not be made public
until Beecher's statement has been
heard by the investigating committee.
Both statements will be published
simultaneously. It is stated that Moul-
to and Tilton, and the latter's lawyer,
Morris have all left tONn
The movements Of the Beecher inves-
tigating committee are daily being more
completely wrapped up and veiled in
impenetrable mystery, rs this evening"
for more than al hour, no trace could be
found of them. Visits were paid, by
members OF the press, 10 Mr.. Shear
mans and Dr.Storrs's residences, but no
clue to their whereabouts could be OBJ.
tained. Mr.. Beecher's residence, on
Columbia flights, was fixed upon as the
only place the committee were
likely to be, and the side
walks in consequence were throDged
with newspaper representatives About
half-pAst nine o'clock Mr.. Hill drove up
in a Garage, accompanied by a strange
gentleman, and entered the house. Mr..
Willard D. Bartlett, Mr.. Shearman and
Mr.. Hill entered Q short time before.
None Of the members Of the committee
were observed to enter, and it is sup
posed they had gone there at an early
hour. The committee adjourned about
half-past eleven, but would give no in-
formation as to their movements. Mr..
Moulton's statement, however, they said
would not be made public tonight, nor
could they say when it would be ready.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Beecher
was before the committee, its members
being reticent on this and every other
question OF like import.
