WITH REGARD TO LOADER,
the carpet layer, arrested for SANDER on
beecher, your correspondent has been in
formed that he is wealthy, well.to- do
upholsterer; that he is poor devil, that
ne is sincere, truthful, innocent. man,
chat he is man you wouldn't care to as.
so:1ate with, etc. The two carpet layers,
Loader and Price, were under arrest be-
fore Judge Reilly this morning, the form.
er tor SANDER on Beecher, the latter as a
witness. Loader, it will be remembered,
told reporters, and made affidavit to hav-
Ing been laying carpets at Tilton S in 1869,
that while so engaged, he saw Beecher
come in and kiss Mrs. Tilton, and that
Price, who looked through the keyhole,
told him he saw certain improper famili.
arities.
PRICE HAS TAKEN BACK
his first affidavit, as to what he stated he
saw. Loader is now in trouble, but as
will be seen, though a thoroughly fright
ened man, he maintains that he has not
told lies. The whole new evidence falls
TO the ground, anyhow.
Your reporter saw Price this morning.
and he refused to make any statement,
saying that all the facts in the case would
come out tomorrow. He admitted, how
ever, that the affidavit made by him be-
fore Mr.. Pearsall expressed his declara-
tions at the time, all Of which he now
states were false. He acknowledged his
completely in the plot few days ago, but
refused to say to whom he first commu-
nicated the facts. Late this afternoon,
says the Brooklyn Argus, reporter was
admitted to the Raymond street Jail to
see Loader. 1t was explained to that
gentleman that a statement had been
given out by Beecher's counsel that he
had made full retraction of of his afr
davit. Loader was thunder struck, and
denied that he had taken any such
course. "Why,' said he. II can't re.
tract the statement that saw Mrs. TIL
tons
CLOTHING SOMEWHAT D1sARRANGED.
More than that I never saw. I never
said that did. I never meant to say it,
because it is not true. The whole trans
actiod was decidedly suspicious. WhatI
have sworn to is the truth, with one ex-
ception, and that is with reference to the
name Of John }. Price. I cannot account
for his name appearing in the affidavit.
The man who was with me was not John
j. Price, and so said before ever made
my affidavit
1t is impossible to find out which of
the various stories about Price and
Loader is the true one. The whole
affair is
TERRIBLY MIXED.
Your correspondent was given ''tip"
this morning by an ardent Beecher man
that Loader confessed last night that his
affidavit was lie, and that Beecher and
Mrs. Iilton were only
PRAYING TOGETHER.
The Beecher man never reflected that
this did not correspond with Mrs. Til.
tons affidavit that Loader was not there
at the time. Loader states positively to
the reporters that Price was not the man
who was with him laying carpets, but an
older man. Price is slangy-spoken
young man. Ex-Judge Morris was not
in
HAPPY FRAME OF MIND,
when interviewed. He complained that
it was too bad he should be overhauled
by the newspaper men at every turn of
the case, and he thought the public might
reasonably await developments. Mr..
Dana, member of the bar, and nephew
of DR.. Buddington, who first heard the
story from Loader while the latter was at
his house, and reported it to plaintiffs
counsel, states that he has been
MlsREPREsENrED BY sHEARMAN,
and that he considered that Loader was
telling what he believed to be the truth,
or he would not have reported it.
