After Recess.

Mr.. Porter continued his argument.
He said that in describing Henry Ward
Becchor as IL liar and II sneak, Frank
Moulton correctly described himself and
Theodore Tilton. If the blood of Tilton
and M0ulton were transtuscd it would
find as black resting place in the heart
al one as the other.
After continuing for some time in this
strain of invective, Porter spoke of the
improbubility of u lady's saying to n
gray-hnircd clergyman, as Mrs. MouItoa
sid she did in her own house, that he
had added four years ofperjury and lying
to his original sin of adultery. Yet she
said that having told him, she declared
to him belief that he could confess 1t to
Plymouth Church and be forgiven. The
story which Mrs. Moulton had been
made to tell by her husband was mon
strously incredible on the face Of ii, and
furnished its own refutation. Men who
medtatcd murder; men who talked OF
their wives lying for them, were capable
of devising such fabrications and
inducing their wives to ut

minion and consort of Theodore Tilton.
He had also threatened to drive Mr..
Beccher out of Brooklyn. Tilton made
this threat even upon the witness stand,
forgetting that it, fuitillment required
the aid of each man upon the jury. He
thought that he could make this threat
regardlcsssof the jury, 50 long rs he had
the assistance of suchsplendid advocates
rs Frank Moulton and Emma Moulton.
The case of Franklin Woodruff was an
instance of the degree to which one man
can corrupt another. Mr.. Woodruff
who would regret his action
in this case 80 long as he lived, was hur-
ried along from one thing to another by
the craft of TIlton and the cunning of
Moulton, until he was brought to the
stand to deny the word of one Of the
most prominent merchants Of New York,
