NEW YORK, July 2o.-1no ONB says:
Beecher's committee decided last evening
to call MoultOn as the next witness, asking
him, In their invitation. to produce all
documents in his possession that relate in
any way to the case.
Tilton says Moulton won't testify before
the committee as now constituted. Mr..
Shearman said last evening that no testi-
mony of TiltOn's bearing on the alleged
confession of Mr.. Beecher to him of adul-
terry was ever ELECTED in the reported cross
examination or omitted in the publication
1t. Beechers stenographer says no such
testimony as Tilton speaks of in his card
was regularly presented before the commit.
tee.
Beecher returned from Peekskill yester-
day, and chatted pleasantly with some of
his church members on the door steps in the
evening
If Moulton does answer the call to testify,
which he will receive to-day, Beechers tes-
timony will be taken without further delay.
Mr. Tilton was visited this morning by
number Of members Of the press, but his
answer to all was, II have nothing further
to say in regard to the case, and l decline
to be interviewed 1t is said a complaint
for libel is to be brought against him in one
of the Justices courts, and that he will then
bring forward witnesses whom the commit
tee refuse to call.
This course. it is said is the only way by
which the matter can be solved. The COM
mittee have concluded to close their labors
in a short time.
Theodore Tilton was arrested on a civil
action for libel to-day, at the suit of one
Gaynor, taken before Judge Walsh and re-
leased on his own recognizance to appear
tomorrow.
Gaynor claims to be an interested party
and brought suit to compel the production
of all facts. His action is regarded as
movement to bring the case into the courts.
What the Papers Say.
The Brooklyn Union says not half of
the evidence has been received by the
Beecher investigating committee. Mrs.
Tilton will be again called, and, possibly,
Tilton.
Edward Arlington, at whose house Mrs.
Tilton is stopping, says she is perfectly
calm and serene. She read the interview
with Mrs. Stanton and pronounces it false.
Her children have gone to Mount Claire.
The Brooklyn Eagle says, DR.. Storrs is
to be summoned as to his interview with
Tiiton when the statement of the alleged
Offense of Beecher was made.
Beecher will not appear before the COM
mittee tonight or tomorrow night, as he
can not testify satisfactorily to himself or
others until he has seen the alleged original

no copies of any letters.
Some committee men say Beechers ex-
animation, when made, will be most rigid,
but whether written or oral, they could
not say.
The Graphic reporter had an interview
with several of the comm ittee men, who
say Beecher has no intention of resigning,
and stories to that effect are mere gossip.
