strous falsehood, which fell to pieces so
quick when it was subjected to the slight
est examination, that they were Obliged to
confess the imposture, but Beach and
Morris took the responsibility of submit
ting that falsehood to the court as truth,
and practically of putting it before the jury

the jury any new light on the subject, and
persisted after further conference with Til
ton himself"

strued to Indicate the criminality either of
Mr.. Beecher or Mrs. Tilton.
