How Elizabeth Abandoned Theodore.
From the Brooklyn Argus


The principal event in the trial on Thurs
day was to define the occasion and manner of
! Mrs. Tllt1n 5 leaving her house last July.
There is a singular harmony in the testimony

this point rs far as they 90. But there is a
bre TX in the knowledge of each as to whv
Mrs. Tllton frs. went before the committee.

agreed by Mrs. 1iton, Mr. TIlton. and Mrs.
Ovington, rs related to her by Mrs. Tilton,
that an unusually pleasant and satisfactory in

They slept in peace; but III the morning,
without previous notitic ltion, Mrs. Iilton APP
pears to have risen early aud dressed herself
and then awakened her husband to inform him
she was gong to leave him forever 1t will
be pity If Mrs. IlitOn cannot % upon the
stand to explain these important actions
Probably she is the only person who can tell
all of the circumstances connected with these
two most important mysteries of the case 1t
appears that Theodore followed his wife to
Mr.. Ovington's and arrived there before Mrs.
Oving.on was dressed. He WAS invited to

Mrs Tllton seemed unwilling to talk at
that time The following is all that was
elected in which she was an actor:
Question TO Mrs. Ovington-Do you recol-

you had made TO Mrs Tilton?
AIR. Tllton said: For what Elizabeth
has done, Mr.. Beecher should kiss the hem of
her garment. When he mentioned Mr..
Beecher's name, Mrs Tllton got up and went
up stairs.
In the hall Mr.. Tilton asked to see his wife
igain. Mrs. Ovington continued:
Then he said, Call Elz beth | called
her, but she did not come at first. ] asked
him if he wished to see Der again. She then
came down. and Mr. Hilton said to me: ''lIrs.
