81. LOUIS, August additional in
formation regarding the alleged forg-
ing of cotton warehouse receipts by
Alexander, Dorman d. Co, is that the
younger members OF the firm, viz. {:
Willie Dorman, John Butler and Hen
~ :. Ogden, had nothing to do with or
any knowledge Of the matter. They
were released from custody this after
noon.
Bethel c. Alexander, the senior of
the firm, Is still in prison. A statement
made this evening says the forgery be-
gan about six months ago, and consist
ed in forging the signature of T. w.
Robinson, clerk of Christian Peppers
cotton warehouse. This, he alleges,
was done by Charles Shepard, conf
dental clerk, who, however, indig-
nantly denies he did it. Alexander
says the forgeries were committed for
temporary relief and not for the pur-
pose of fraud, and that il they had not
been detected he would have been in a
position IN fifteen days to take them
all up, and should have done so. How
many of these forged receipts have
been issued is not yet known.
New York, August 6.-Moulton re-

copy the TiltonBeecher papers He
will give the committee copies If they
desire. Ifsubiected to personal EXAM
ination and cross-eXamination, he will
demand the presence of his own sten-
ographer. The general tone of Moul-
toms letter is not kindly toward
Beecher. Moulton calls it a miserable
business. Tilton sent the following
note to his wife yesterday:
"My dear Elizabeth send you this
note, enclosing a letter from our
daughter Florence,
Yours atfectionately, THEODORE"
An endorsed Chicago lady quotes
Susan Stanton:
"Then l went on to tell Beecher
what l knew of his practices. He
made no denial of these charges, but
came down at once and said, Susan
what do you want me to do?' From
that moment he has never squeaked."
