Then Does the Case, IA put by the
NccuScr. Rest Upon What:

We answer: "Cpon mere words and
assertions, supported by no circumstances
whatever that are the usual Indications of
adultery" Tilton says he knows the
fact from his witc'S confession on July
:ird. 1870. and from her subsequent con-
icsSion to Moulton and to her mother
Mrs. Morse. This l. answered:
First. That Mrs. Tilt"n says in effect
that this confession. whatever il WAS, WAS
cytortcd from her by an impcrou- and
malicious husband, and by means that
were. in moral sense, mere fraudulent
rrctemScS that were made, that she must
say something to cXtricatc Theodore out
sfhiS business pcrpleXity She was made to
believe there was charge against Tilton.
The fact that Mrs. Tilton
had withdrawn the charge
when Mr.. Bccchcr first confronted her.
after he had heard of it on the evening
of December 80 in order in his connec-
ton with the truth of the charge when
free from the dominating influence of her
husband. she explicitly denies that the
charge was adultery. We now see Der
coming before the Committee with en-
pressionS of JOY that
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1874-08-31
At Last She Can Come and Speak the
Truth

and in the most solemn manner she de-
mics absolutely the charge, and proceeds
to set forth facts and circumstances which
demonstrate that this unhappy woman
has for years, been the plastic victim Of
extorted talSchoodS. Tilton's allegation
that she confessed to her mother, Mrs.
Morse. is pronounced false by the moth
or. who testified before the Committee.
The source of the scandal then, is the al
lcrcd words of Mrs Tilton, which she en-
plains in such Il manner a TO deprive the
allegations of all force and credit. Then
comes Mr.. Bccchcr. who Solcmnly de-
clared that whatever words by whatever
means have been drawn from Mrs. Til
ton bv her husband, he is innocent of any
and all improperly towards her, whcth-
or relating to improper advances or
adultery.
1t is not for the committee to defend
the course of Mrs. Tiiton. her conduct
on any theory Of human responsibility is
indefenSible Our hope is that il may be
made clear rs the testimony affords much
reason to believe il may. That this dis

The Following Resolutions were als'
Unanimously Adopted.

Resolrcd That the evidence laid before
the examining committee not only does
not afford any foundation for putting the
pastor OF this Church, Rev. Henry Ward
Bcrcher upon trial, but on the contrary
establishes to the perfect satisfaction Of
this Church his entire innocence and alb
,olute personal purity with respect 10 all
charges now or hereafter made against
him BY Theodore Tilton.
Rerolred. That our confidence and love
for our pastor SO far from being dimin-
ished are heightened and dcep"ncd by
the unmcrited SrfFcring> which he has 81
hong borne, and that We welcome him
with sympathy more tender and a
trust more unbounded than We ever felt
before to his public labor among u, 10
our church, our families. our homes and
our hearts.

came to the front portion OF the church
and took II seat along side Of

He claimed that Mr.. Tilton did not
know where the money came from, but
it was evident that Mr.. Moulton paid
him money out of his own pocket. Was
it upon his insinuationS, garbled lanGUSg
and letters? Was it upon this he wanted
to know if they were To- wait and
doubt? With regard to the pistol. il
was not pretended by Mr.. Bcecher, or
advanced by Mr. Moulton that under
the influence ofthc pistol he WAS hurried
or inundated into any action. The
story Of hcpistol wa, just this, it went
to show the character Of II man who went

He concluded his address by stating That

though your opinions are not rcstful. or
congenial to my soul, Yet my integrity
and purity are sacred and holy thing
to me. Bless God with me for Catharinc
Gaunt. and for all the sure lcadings ofan
all-wiSe and loving providence This
letter was written June 80, 1871, about
Il year after the pretended confession. In
no sense can its words be construed Is
referring to adultery. Tilton, when
before the Committee, when reference
was first made 10 this Schoharic letter,
seemed tn think that the offence i'll the
story of Griffith Gaunt was adultery. and
consequently relied on this letter Us in
contrnvertible evidence of his charge
In this he was mistaken. 1t is II principle
of the common law that married woman
cannot commit or be held t. commit II
crime perpctrated in the presence Of her
husband. This is upon the idea that the
husbands presence and influence amount
to durcss. and that she is not, therefore.
responsible. Whether it is necessary {"
work this rule to excuse Mrs. Tiiton or
not We NAV see in what Tilton was able
to cx,ort from her without her yolition
or real assent is something of the reasons
which moved the early eHpounders of the
English common law to assert the doc
trine referred 10.
