WHAT He TESTIFIED T0-eCHNE6 AND INCrpENTa-
LARGE ATTENDANCE OF LADIES.
Mr.. Bcecher's testimony Tussay continued
to be in the nature Of denials or explanations.
He contradictcd many OF the circumstances al.
legged by Moulton and Tilton to have occurred,
and put very different Interpretation upon |
some Of tho remarkable phrases and express
piohs he used, aud which have puzzled great |
many people who were sincerely DESTROYS to be- |
lieve in his innocence.
AMONG THE INQUIRIES
addrt ssed him WAS one AZ to the occasion Of Mr..
Moulton's first suggestions to Mr.. Beecher that
he should lend aid in money to MIR. T.lton. Mr..
Beecher replied that 1t was among the first sug-
gestions made by Mr.. Moulton after the storm OF
January, 1871, had passed within that month,
in fact. Mr. Moulton told him that there WAS
mortgage u $1,000 OH Mr.. Tilton's house, and
that It ought to be paid. Mr.. Moulton's next
demand for money was made In the summer Of
1871 for the amour: Of Miss Bessie Turner's
school bills, He represented that he WAS paying
out
LARGE SUNS OF MONEY
for Mr.. Tilton, and that he thought Mr.. Beecher
ought to help. Without any formslity or ar
rangement M to paying other bills, Mr.. Beecher
| paid the sum asked for, and when other bills
were sent to him he paid them without ques.
ton or account Of the expenditures. The only
positive Beecherism OF the day WAS uttered
at this point when the witness declared that he
did not think he chad ever kept an account or a
memorandum OF any money on tho earth"
A part Of Mr.. Tiltons testimony was read rela.
tive to the scene at which he alleged tho

tention called to tho statement that, q
the close Of that interview, Mr. Beech
or burst into tears, and expressed grea
grief and misery. Mr.. Beecher not only
denied that the conversation In any way no
ferred to the cl ii, but also asserted that 1t wa

the last thing that was done was to kiss eacl
other, all three around, and he added, 81 di

Mr.. Deecher presented the same
