Beecher to Mrs IitOn, all of which have been
published in whole or part. He then reiterates
Mr.. Beecher's confession to him of the crime
of adultery with Mrs. Titlon. There is little
interest until he comes to the charge of
Beecher's Alleged Confession of Adultery
and justification of il.
But to answer this criticism in another drec-
ton, and to show the impossibility that could
be mistaken, not seeking to shelter myself from
any supposed misunderstanding: but taking all
the burden Of veracity between Beecher, Tllton
and myself, [ now proceed to give such posi-
lions as are necessary of some few of the con-
versations in which Beecher made confession
of adultery:
have before stated that the first confession
was made on the night went for the .retrac-
ton" of Mrs. Tilton; that 1 there told him:
''Mr. Beecher, you have had criminal inter
course with Mrs. Tiltop, and you have done
great injury to Filton otherwise" and l say
further in my published statement: 'that he
confessed and denied not, but confessed" As
he did not deny this charge, so explicitly made
by me, whatever differences l may have made
from his words at other times, he certainly
could not have mistaken mine at this time.
When speaking of the relations of a man and
a woman, criminal intercourse has but one
illegal OF literary meaning" even to clergy
man.
1t, however, seems necessary that ] should
40 still further, which | do. and say that on
that evening he confessed to me his relations
with Mrs. Tilton ID language so vivid that
could not possibly forget or mistake it. He
said "My acts of intercourse with that woman
were as natural and sincere an expression of
my love for her as the words of endearment
which addressed to her. There seemed to be
| nothing in what we did together that | could
not justify to myself on the ground of our love
| for each other, and 1 think God will not blame
me for my acts with her. l know that at pres
ent it would be utterly impossible for me to
| justify myself before man. This is impressed
| upon my mind because it was the first enuncia-
ton of justification of the doctrine of free
l love that had ever heard
Not only on the occasion of handing back
| Mrs. Tilton's "retracton," and when giving
me the letter of cootrtion of January 1st, 1871
did he partieuarize with regard to the feelln
| that Influenced him to do as he did with Mrs.
Tilt9n, but in many of the conversations held
