New YORK. Aug. 10.-The Brooklyn
Argus, Tilton's organ, says tie state-
ment submitted by Moulton covers
! more than twice the number of pages of
manuscript made by Mr.. Tilton in his
statement. Moulton rests his case
almost entirely on documentary evi-
dence, which had been voluntarily plac-
ed in his hands by Beechef, Tilton. Mrs.
Tilton, Mrs. Morse MRS. Tilton's mo-
ther), and other persons. Moulton de-
clares, with repeated and renewed as
surances, that he has preserved his
friendly relations with all parties DUR
ing the long period covered BY the doc
uments in his possession, and that no
has sincerely desired to effect recon-
citation between Tilton and Beecher.
When the attacks on Tilton were made
public by Beecher's friends. Moulton
felt compelled to come to the support
of Tilton, and approved of the course
taken by Tilton in self-defense.
Moulton finds it necessary to refer to
the beginning of the controversy, the
whole difficulty having originated in the
difference between Henry C. Bowen and
Tilton. He gives the history of Tilton's
serious complications with Bowen, and
step by step traces to progress OF the
breace between them, leading up to the
final complication between Tilton and
Beecher. out of which grew the tripart-
ite covenant. Moulton makes incident
al illusions to some important inter-
views mentioned by Frank B. Carpen-
ter, especially those which related to
Bowen's connection with the case.
Moulton's s narrative comes in direct
relation to the scenes between Bowen.
himself and Beecher at the house OF the
latter; the letter written by Mrs. Tilton
at the request of her husband and Beech
er, a written copy of Beecher's apology,
the whole text of which has already been
made public; and the remarkable letter
in which MIR. Beecher describes himself
as living on the sharp and rugged edge
of anxiety, remorse. fear and despair.-
The last named letter has remained in
his custody from the day it was written
up to the present time. The small por-
ton of it included in Tilton's sworn
statement was all that was then placed
by Moulton at Tilton's disposal. The
letters occupies two pages Of foolscap,
and the intensity of expression revealed
in the extract already published. is its
prevailing tone throughout. All letters
from Beecher from which quotations
are maQ6 III 1lltOu btoeoHChes 0"'o
bsen laid in full before the committee
by Moulton. 1t IS established by Moul-
toms testimony that the letter Of apolo-
gy written by Beecher on the evening
of January 1st. 1871, was, as has alrea-
dy been intimated, written by Moulton
at Mr.. Beecher's dictation, and that
Beecher himself wrote the last line and
appended his signature. The statements
made by Mrs. Tilton in her cross exams
|ination before the committee are not
sustained by Moulton's evidence. Be
states that Mrs. Tilton communicated
with him freely and confdentially in
regard to the complications of this scan
dal, regarding him alike as the friend Of
herself, her husband, aud Mr.. Beecher.
Mrs. Morse also made a confident OF
Moulton, depositing with that gentle-
man some very important letters bear>
ing on the case. These letters, togeth-
e- with others written to Tilton go far
towards strengthening Tilton's posi-
ton.
The Brooklyn Eagle has a long de-
tense of Beecher. and says in an extra
to. night that Mouiton's testimony is
favorable to Beecher. The full state
ment of Moulton' will be submitted to
the press to-day.
