Victoria Woodruff was interviewed by a
Tribune reporter on Saturday Mr.. Tilton,
she said, must be lunatic, judging from
the absurd things he had sworn to with re-
gard to his connection with her. She said
he must certainly be crack-brained to swear
to matters immaterial, which could be dis
proved by scores of witnesses. lie had de-
MED, she said, that he had slept in her
house. On the contrary, she declared that
he bad made it his home for q time, dining
at her table, living in her parlors, writing at
her desks. She said that she had FREQUENT
ly gone home at night with her husband to
lind Mr.. Tilton writing at her private desk.
As to bathing with him, it was absurd for
him to deny what had occurred frequently,
and what ladies and gentlemen of the high
est responsibility do every day without
thought Of immodesty in the act. As to not
visiting her s. fifteen or even ten times" as
he had sworn, he had sworn falsely. and
more than that, foolishly, for he might have
boldly sworn that he had frequently visited
her in company with Gen. b. F. Butler, and
others OF political prominence. She spoke
also of the abeGnd and false statements of
Mrs. Moulton on the stand as to her visits to
Mrs. Woodruff. Mrs. Woodruff stated that
she was for many months constant visitor
to Mr.. Moulton's house, and instead of their
dating their ruin from their acquaintance
with her, she, on the contrary, had reason
to date her ruin from the Acquaintance
which Tilton and Moulton imposed upon
her.
