REECHER REPORTED TO HAVE
ADMITTED HIS GUILT.

~ L>N ~ h"N
Moulton was about to acquaint the
committee with the facts in his possess
sion. Moulton's delayed statement
was withheld with the express under
standing that Beechcr would publicly
confess what he has privately ac.
knowledged to his lawyers and 10 the
committee. On or about August 9TH.
Beecher summoned certain members
of the committee ana ShearnIan and
Tracy to his house. and then
and there confessed his in:i-
macy with Mrs. Tilion. His friends
were astonishe ed and alarmed. and they
consulted and decided that publicity
would be fatal TO Beecher's reputation
and to Plymouth Church, and iim-
plored him TO forego his intention at
least for the present, and leave it to
them 10 vindica.e him in the eyes of
TIE public; but Eeeoher was decided,
and he argued that it would lie much
better that he should have the credit
of a confession. His friends ultimately
were convinced that this perhaps
would be the best course. In order 10
gain time, however, it was necessary
that the prcsentment OF Mou.ton's
statement should he delayed or pre-
vented. and that Tilton he induced TO
refrain from pushing his suit. Among
the gentlemen who managed this part
of the affair We're Peter Robinson.

band TO withhold his statement.
Noul,on consented, when assured
that Iicecher would make am
pie acknowledgements. Tilton, also,
affirmed his willingness to postpone
further prosecution of his suit. At the

placed in, that he avowed his intention
of publishing the truth in his own de-
Tense. Moulton advised u peaceful
settlement OF the difficulty, and re-
strained Tilton from his avowed pur-
pose. Frank Carpenter advised final
public se,tlcmcn; of the scandal.
