MRS. TILTON'S TESTIMONY.

EXPLANATIONS ON MANY POINTS.
THE GENERAL CHARGES AGAIN DENIED-No CONFESS
SION OF GUILT MADE TO MISS ANriioNf-rHE
LETTER TO DIR. sroRRs COPIED UNDER PROTEST
AND SUBSEQUENTLY RETRACTED-HER HUSBAND
VIOLENT IN WORD AND DIED - TIE NEXT
WITNESS
The examination of Mrs. TiltOn before the
Plymouth Church Investigating Committee
was exceedingly thorough. She denied the
specific charges of impropriety in the bed
room and library scenes, as well as
the general charge of improper intl-
macy with Mr. Beecher. She admitted
that she had told Miss Anthony that her hus-
band had charged her with criminal intimacy
with MIR. Beecher, but claimed that she as
serted her innocence throughout. Her tes-
timony is somewhat at variance with that OF
Mr. Carpenter, but she admits that she copied,
the paper which was shown to DR.. Storrs. A
month before the Congregational Confer
ence she informed DR.. Storrs that
the charge of improperly against Mr..
Beecher over her signature was false. She
testified that her husband had often been
violent in word and deed and had charged
her with improper intimacy with others be-
sides Mr. Beecher. The SchOharie County
letter was fully explained. Mr.. Carpenter
will be examined tonight in place of Mr..
Moulton, who has not returned to Brooklyn /;
and whose whereabouts is unknown.

ing of her Sc0harie letter sharp and Iigd. She
was asked if she had the thought Of adultery in her
mind, when 10 tina, letter she referred to her SIM
She answered that she had not the least thought Of
that kind. The interest of Catherine Gasnt in
Brother Leonard, her director, represented in the
story, had no tant of infidelity about it, neither
danger of it or thought of it. When Mrs. Tilton
was removed from the troubles Of her home and tho
unhappy influence of her husbands treatment, her
thoughts were free to consider scrupulously what
reason there had been for her husbands reryerIty,
and she realized then, never before how she had
allowed her love for Mr. Beecher to suppant her
love for her husband and expressed deep contrition
for it.
DENIAL OF THE SPECIFIC TMPRoPRIErIEs ALLEGED.
In the course of Mrs. Titons examination the two
incidents of improperly in Mr.. Beechers behavior
toward Mrs. Tilton, which Mr.. Tlton had alleged
had taken place in his presence, were entered upon
The statement that Sfr. Beecher gave Mrs Tlton an
improper caress by touching her ankle, when both
were upon the floor looking at engrayngs was
denied by her in particular besides her general
denial that there had been any improper intimacy.
OF the other incident. the so-called bedroom
of which Mr. Titon tried to make so much at tho
first Ifrs. Tilton said she remembered nothing moro
than this: She was sitting with her husband and
Mr.. Beecher one day in the bedroom. which is con-
nected by folding doors with the common sitting
room in the home Of the Tiltons. Mr.. Tlton went
away for short time and when he returned found
Mrs. Tlton and Mr. Beecher the same place whero
he had left them, in this BEDROOM.
