The paper also contained praises OF
Mrs. Tilton for resisting the amorous
pleas Of her pastor. He said he pre-
pared the document for publication as Q
set-off to the Woodruff publication, and
that he would show it to Beecher. He
spoke Of Beecher going to his wife, in
her weak condition, and getting the re-
traction. He said to me that Beecher
had admitted his guilt, in letter OF
apology to him.
Witness asked him why he did not give
the publication simply q denial, and he
said this was what this woman wanted
me to do. This would make me liable
for libel, and the case would come out in
the Courts. Had a conversation with
Moulton afterwards, in which he asked
what could be done for Tilton.
Witness said he ought to 20 to Europe,
as no paper would now take him on its
staff on account of his connection with
Mrs. Woodruff. Witness suggested that
each of the parties connected with the
scandal should publish a card denying
the specific portions of 1t In relation to
