Storrs, No "a Monroe place. There was a full
attendance OF the members. Among the wit
nesses heard were Mrs. Tilton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Moses Beach, Dr. Minton and
two unknown ones The testimony taken
was understood TO be Of no particular
moment, but was chiefly explanatory OF certain
points heretofore testifed 10 by Mrs Tilton. Dr.
MInton's evidence went to show the weak con-
dtlon OF mind v hich Mrs. Tilton was in alter The
miscarriage when she signed the confession at the
dlctation OF her husband
The committee in the early part OF the evening
decided upon giving Mrs. Iton's crosse xamtna-
ton and testimony in iuil tC the New YORK press
but, owing to some unexplained Influences
brought to bear upon them, later In the night
changed the programme and refused to
