spoken evil Of Mr.. Tilton, who had done him
q noble service and been his friend, his remorse
at having believed the scandalous stories against
his friend, and his selfreproach when Mr.. Moulton
assured him that they were FALSE, and lastly, bis
modification and sorrow on copAing to the conclu-
sion, to which Mr.. Moulton's declarations urged
him, that through his want of foresight and pru-
dence he had won the affection of Mrs. Tilton
and come between her and her husband.
His agitation over these thoughts, he explained,
was the greater because his former conversations
with Mr.. Moulton had been diplomatic, but at this
interview he had for the first time given vent to his
pent no feelings. And his self-accusations were
especially bitter when Mr.. Mouton declared to
him: Mr.. Beecher, Elizabeth loves your little
finger more than all of Mr.. Tton" He broke forth
in self-reproaches aud expressions of sorrow. Mr..
Moulton at this stage suggested that if Mr. Tilton
could only hear him talking in that strain there
would be peace once more between them. Mr..
MOulton at length asked permission to make q
memorandum of what Mr.. Beecher said 80 as to
read it to Mr. Tilton. Mr. Beecher SAID that he was
IN too much of a whirl to write. 1t was nearly 8
o'clock, and in the dim light Of the Winter twilight
Mr.. Moulton wrote some sentences on separate
slips of paper The supper bell rang at and the
interview had to come TO an end Mr. Moulton
asked Mr. Beecher TO sign what he had written.
Mr.. Beecher refused, saying that it was not his
letter. Mr.. Mouton then asked him to put his name
to it let Mr.. Tilton know that it really came
from him. And then, without reading or knowing
what was on the paper, he wrote near the bottom
of the sheet and as far as possible from the other
writing II have intrusted this to Frank Moulton in
confidence" and signed his name to this separate
note This concluded Mr.. Beechers account of the
manner in which the letter of contritIon was
written.

THE DENIAL OF ADULTERY.


The most dramatic scene of the morning ses-
sion Mr.. Beechers solemn assertion of his limo.
cence of any and all of the charges brought against
him from time to time by Mr.. TitOn. Mr. Evarts
led him by slow degrees to the eliminating point
and the effect Of the final declaration of innocence
was thereby heightened. He was first questioned as
to the scene described by the nurse, Mrs. Carey,
wherein Mrs Tilton wasrepresented sitting Mr..
Beecher's knee and as calling him Dear Father"
He gave brief and emphatic denial to that state
meut. Again. as to Mr.. Richards meeting them I'M
der suspicious circumstances, he declared that he
could not recoect of ever having seen Mr.. Richards
while on a visit to Mr.. Tilton's house. Mr.. Brashier
might have seen him on the stoop of Mr.. 1iltons
house at an early hour of the morning; but if so,
MED the truth of Mr.. Tilton's allegations concern
ing his acts on Oct 10 and H. 1863 Then Mr. Evarts
slowly and with marked deliberaton, put the fol-
lowing questions:
O During your entire acquaintance with Mrs. TIlton
Mr. Beecher and up TO this month of December 1870,
had there been any undue personal familiarity be-
tween yourself and bert A Neveri
O Had you at any tme directly indirectly solicited
improper favors from her a wOmanf A. Neveri
@ Had you ever received improper favors from her
A. 1t was thing impossible to her-Neyert
Between each of the three questions there was q
long pause if Mr. Evarts wished the jury to take
in the whole force and meaning of the emphatic de-
malls which came in response to each. The last was
given with increased emphasis, and the long pause
between it and the next question was broken by the
loudest and most general applause yet heard during
the trial. This demonstration was so positive that
Judge Nelson gave orders to the police TO eject any
person detected in a repetition OF the ofense.

MRS. TILToN's DEEP RELIGIOUS DEVOTION


Q. During this long acquaintance with Mrs.
Ton did you to have, az you supposed, an inti
mate knowledge OF her character her temperament and
her intelligence A. think 1 did.
Q. Now what estimate did you form concerning her
mental and moral characteri A. At first thought she
was Of great simplicity and purity and Of fair
intelligence As became better acquainted with her
admired her domestic traits and that which only after
considerable acquaintance found out, was avery
deep and unusually religious nature developing itself 80
differently from what ordinarily, that 1t struck Inc
very much.
O. In what regard did il strike you-what form of d.
velopmenti A. Well it was- don't know that lean tell
it exactly unless by saying what the usual forms that
perceive. Some religious characters develop them
seve in ethical strength and conscentousness in all du
ties persons develop themselves in their religious
nature largely In social enthusiasm and generosi
ties and persons develop themselves in generation
and Now in her 1t was very unusual sight
for me TO person whose religious character devel
oped itself in the two forms, of ecstatc devotion,
reny peace and trust in God, and also in the form Of
generous social sympathy and excitement.
@ Was Mrs. Tton, under your observation, actively
engaged in benevolent worki A. necessarily
O. Were you of it all the while il going on
A. Hardly visit that she not talking to me about
some case that she had in hand poor man,
family something Of the class Of married women OF
which she then experimenting in the Bethel, or at
some period of the time was in connection with.
