The sneaker denounced Mr. Beecher as one who had
for three years practiced imposition and fraud MI
Beecher's silence during the progress of the scandal
was also touched upon.
The speaker then brought mp the point raised by
Mr. Por1er 10 the effect that, as regards alleged COLI
fession NM Beecher did not therein confess ito any
specific oiiense. The evidence OF Moulton, Mrs
Moulton and Tilton was declared To show that the
charge was one Of criminal intimacy and that the
confession was of that ofenSe. The Charge, he
claimed was so perfectly understood that it not

Bcecber's anguish. But Mr. Beecher had not ADVISED
separation at the time Mrs. Iilton was then away
from her husbands home, and living with her
mother. She desired separation from her husband.
Mr. Beecher as he says, advised her to that course,
and SO did his wife, the leading matron III

advice asked the speaker. Again, If Mr. Beecher's
story be true, what occasion was there for hun to

Mr. Beechers declarations of the nature of his re-
la.ions with Mrs Tilton said by the speaker to
be inconsistent with his alleged efforts to suppress
investigation into the subject. If Mr.. Becchcr had
accepted church invest cation at the time OF the
making of the West charges-had he then proved

by Mr.. Evarts, received q new Interpretation at
Mr. Beachs hands, in accordance with suggestion
received by him from lady correspondent at BmG-

speaks of writing for the public "a statement that
will bear the light Of the Judgment Day." Was de-
clarcd not TO be, had been asserted, letter OF
defiance and evincing determination the part Of
the defendant to meet the issue boldly. Had Mr..
Beccher only followed Mrs. Moulton's advice and
confessed has sin, not only his own church, but the
whole Christian world would have forgiven him. In
this way NT. Beecher sould have given the world
the example Of great mind and great heart fall

it, exalted faith. In this WY Mr.. Beccher would
have hOnOIed ss own nature and exalted his

Moalton which he tells Beeclier lyon can stand
