SEw YoRx. July 25.-At a session Of
the Plymouth Church Investigating
Committee last evening. Oliver johnson
testified In relation to an interview be-
tween Mr.. Tlton and himself in Decem-
Der. 1870. In this interview Tilton re-
lated, and Johnson said he heard II for
the first time, his complaint about
Beecher's conduct towards him. Tilton
spoke Of Beecher as having alienated
the love Of his family from him and
otherwise injured him in his business,
but there WINS no allusion at that time to
the charge Of adultery; hence in n letter
in 1873, he did not refer to any charge
Of adultery. There IVES a good attend
ance at the usual weekly prayer meeting
last night. but several Of the best known
members were absent. The hymns
given out were c~onsola,ory in their tend
ency. and in the prayers the warmest
sympathy for their suffering pastor and
the most earnest solicitations for his
safe deliverance were expressed. Rev.
Mr.. Halliday closed the services by CIV
ing out the hymn, "'AIid M Of con-
fusion and creature complaints" which
was sung with considerable Feeling.
After the benediction had been pro-
nouneed and the members had gathered
in groups, Mr.. Halliday remarked 80
that all might hear, - suppose you are
all anxious to hear how Bro. Beecher is
tonight. left him only an hour and a
half ago, and he is in admirable spirits,
and I believe weighs more than he has
for years." Halliday said later that he
tried to get Beecher to attend the meet
ing. but believed the pastor was too
busy and hurried. Being asked II
Beechcr was still preparing his state
msnts, Halliday replied: Possibly. I
don't know but he has already prepared
them. The next meeting Of the In
vestigating Committee will be held next
Monday night.
