The Beecher.Tilton Case.
Frank Mouton requires until Saturday
night to arrange and copy the Tilton
BeecLer papers. He will give the commit
tee copies if they desire. If subjected to
personal examination and questioning
he will demand the presence OF his own
stenographer. The general tone of Moul-
toms letter is not kindly toward 3eecher.
MoultOn calls it miserable business.
Tilton sent the following note to his wife
yesterday:
"MY DEAR ELIzABErH-I send you this
note, inclOsing letter from our daughter
yours, affectionately. THEODORE"
The Plot Thickens.
A Chicago dispatch says the Tribune
prints letter concerning the connection of
Miss Anthony with the BeecherT Tilton case.
The writer is q lady residing here. and is
we'll known in philanthropic and reform
circles; her name is withheld at her request:
"Three years the past winter in January
l saw Miss Susan Anthony for the first time
in nv life; on that occasion she urged me
very strongly to become identified with the
suffrage movement in this city. replied
that as long as the then almost scandalOus
divisions between the New York and New
England factions existed 1.-THE divisions
now happily healed), felt no attraction
toward either party. She then proceeded
to say that the blame Of this strife rested
largely on the New England faction; that
they had falsely accused her Of hold
ing free love doctrines, while some of
their own number were guilty of not only
holding, but practicing them. For instance.
Mr. Beecher. the first president of the
Boston Society, was crjminally guilty con-
cerr ng a certain married woman of Brook
lyn. whose name did not ask nor she give.
She continued: Mr.. Beecher will never
attack us, the New York wing, again This
was the reason: She said that when the
Boston wing began to abuse Mrs. Stanton,
she. Susan b. Anthony, knowing facts
about Mr.. Beecher, went to him and
asked him if he proposed to stand
by party that SO accused woman
he knew to be pure as Mrs. Stanton.
Then she went on to tell him what
she knew of MS practices. He made no de-
NAL of these charges, but came down at
once and said, Susan, what do you want
me to do! 'You know she said to me, he
was Henry Ward Beecher and could not
tell him he should resign at once, but did
say that he should not suffer himself to be
reelected ard that he should utterly with
draw his support from that faction, and
said Susan. from that moment he has never
squeaked."
Judge Norris Opinion.
Judge Morris, counsel Tor Tilton, said to-
day he has never seen a case 30 strongly
fortified at all points as his clients. He
exhibited to the reporters a variety of let
ters which show that down to May, 1870.
there was no vindictiveness on the part Of
Tilton toward Beecher. Morris also showed
the receipt OF William Page, dated Feb
ruary %, 1869. for portrait of Beecher
purchased by TiltOn, and row hanging in
in Moulton's house, saying that the fol-
lowing year, 1870, after Mrs. Tilton
informed her mother of her guilty relations
with Beecher, her mother threatened to
cut the canvas into Sits, and Ti.tOD. un-
willing to see a work of art destroyed, re-
moved it to MoultOn's house. where it still
remains. Morris also said that Mrs. Til
toms statements concerning her husbands
cruelty, and his locking her in room, Ike
prisoner, his freezing and starving her,
will be shown to be fictitious, and ii there
be any insanity in the family at all, the
charge will lie, not at the door Of Tilton,
but of his wife.
The Beecher committee OF investigation
did not meet this evening, but will be 10
session tomorrow evening. Frank MOul-
ton is busy preparing his statement 70 be
laid before the committee Saturday eve
ming. 1t is stated he denies his having

and announces his intention of conducting
his own case before the committee.
