Extract from the Beecher testimony:
hloulton never said to me that he told
Tracy that was guilty of adultery with
Elizabeth r. Tilton, and that he (Tacy)
said If this was true, it must be kent

ginning to end; he never said anything
to meabout it, except what have stated.

this course, and that, perhaps, good
would come out of it.,
