TESTIMONY or MRS. I1L1ox's MOTHER
The most important witness examined yestar-
day WAS Mrs. Morse, mother Of Mrs. Titon, ono
OF the persons to whom Tilton swore before tho
Committee Mrs. Tilton had confessed her crime.
M1r. Morse WAS particularly named to the Com
mittee by Tilton, and her testimony WAS awaited
with much concern. When placed under oath
yesterday she denied in the most solemn aud
uuequivocal manner thas Mrs. Tilton had ever
made any such confession to her. Witness, in
particular, clinched her testimony with the fol-

think Of accusing the Virgin Mary Of ADULTERY as
Elizabeth Tilton-"
