could answer my own question very easily
1t is not because OF the want Of any merit III Iheoooe
TiltOn, am certain.
TIE CHARGE OF IMPROPER PROPOSALS.
Well. il is said in conclusion, upon that
matter that Mr. Tit0n has and over again. decieu
that tie ONLY oR,nse which he charged against MI
Boecher was making undue solicitations improper pro-
posal TO his wife, have said all that care 20 say upon
that except recall your attention 10 the lact ''
while Mr. iiton WAS making these statements ior 'ne
public alleging modified olcnse as against MT bcconoi'
yet whenever the question came TO an Issue ocoro any
private party he uniformly declared and declared carry
in tho history OF the matter, that that not the whole
oft Yon remember the interview with DR.. Storrs fOu
remember Mr. George A. Bell as to Tho interVe" WIN
Halliday You cannot have forgotten now eSrheS'J NV
Bell insisted to Mr.. TltOn that there was nothing at
should prevent hun from denying ms whoe ina'Voi
that it was his duty to himself, TO his family, to the
church. to Mr. Beecher to everybody that there shoud
be at once q public and distinct denial OF any
crime that 1t was nothing but an undue solicl'
tation and when Mr. Tilton again and again. tod MN
he could do it, Mr. Bell forced him to the declaration
that that was not the whole TRUTH that there was stil
more SO it was with Mr John W. Hartman, ana so IL WAS
with Mr. Redplth whose significant evidence on that
pont you will not have forgotten. SO That, while what
they call these inconsistent declarations were being MADE
not only there reason for them explaining .hcni'
INT nj those very times there secret and unaheccd
declarations made by Mr. Tilton in regard 10 heSe hoi
fled statements, that they did not reach the whoio truth
Mr. Evarts-Mr. Beach. we think you are wrong about
this statement 10 MI Bell and Mr. Harman, ana tneSe
people.
Mr. Helcii-Do you think SOL
mr. E.risi 10 not understand there is any such es
tinOny.
NJ. Bcach--Dont yoll We'll must try then and show
it to be So Mr. Boil his testimony says-with permis
sion won't read il al Oyer-Nir Bell says;
Mr. Ton if that is al there is OF this matter your duty

/ am not repeating Ill. exact words an mercy giving
my memory OF very long conversations sud 10 Ilhl'
That is absurd. Who l. suffering ~ ms pr beecher,
your own wife, yourself II yong iriri,. anu te b cer
they all sacIds, an there Is no Tetsnh whateEer
that Should pre .rat yO.f coming out and dthyng THIS

he was through with that said, Why, even thenIeseh

be-cre Is an underlying truth in this story old by
these women, which would make II worse Tor MI beechI
il wero out aud contradict 1t than were 10
let IL alone"
That think, sustains my representation in regard to
Mr. Bell.
bIr. shearman-Excuse me Mr.. Beach, Mr. Tilton had
not told Mr. Bell previous to that OF any ofnse at all
It turns from Mr. Hadays testimony that he told
him finally of the improper solicitations, and said that
Mr. Evarts-That was the thing that, he thought ought
not to be told
Mr.. Beaoh-whatl Whoi
Mr.. Evarts-That Mr.. Tilton SAID that the improper
solicitations ought not to be told.
Mr.. Beach-No, by no means
Mr. 5hearman-Wel, you will find out.
Mr. Blackwell, 1t is easy to say you will find it SO,
show it
Mr.. shearman-We have the testimony -
Mr. Beacl-This gentleman says
He said he had called there at the request OF Mr..
Mouon who had told him that Mr. Beecher had been to
that there to he action taken by the deac0ns OF the
church by the Examining Committee; that Mr.
Mr. Tilton and tell him To come down and see Mr..
Halliday and make some explanation to linn
which would make IL unnecessary Tor the deaconS
to have their meeting. lie then went ~, into
long history OF the scandal prior 10 the Moodhul ana
about fortnight or three weeks or four weeks com
D and M wa S the Publisher g RaG he
said that these matters he gave TO us IN the strict
est confidence not to De mentioned by us 10 any one
after he mad done that think paused and said
him, Why don't you deny T. &c.
Mr. shearman-That is he told Mr.. Bell the Bowen
stories.
Mr. Beach-Oh don't want you to reason about it if
Mr.. ShearmanHc told him about the affairs Of The IN
dependent and what the publisher had stated to him.
Mr.. M0rris-I submit that these continual Interrupt
tions out Of order.
Mr.. Beach-why, what was it, Slri
said to him "That is absurd. Who Is suffering by
your friends, and the churchthey all suffering and
there is reason whatever that should prevent your
coming out and denying this thing"
After the publication Of the Woodruff scandal, who
doubts as to what they talking about and to
what communications Mr. Tilton made to themf
He then narrated circumstances or Impressions opn,
Mrs Tllton and when he was through with that said
Why, even thcn-cyen now cannot see why you should
not and contradict this matter" He said 81
cannot do so would be-there Is an nnderyng truth
in this story told by these women which would make II
diet it than II 1t werc let alone"
Well forced, gentlemen, to refer to Dr. Storrs, to
whom the True story" was read. That imputed i'm
proper solicitations. No doubt about that, think.
Mr. ShearInan-That is conceded; that is conceded.
Mr.. Morris-Never mind Mr.. Shearman.
Mr. Shcarman-I can take care OF myself
Mr. Morris-May be you can.
Mr. ShearmanTha is conceded that he told Dr. Storrs
so. II is only about Mr.. Bell and
Mr. Beach-Only about whOml
Mr. Shearman-Mr. Bell and Mr.. Halliday.
Mr. Eyarts-Aud Mr. Hartman.
MI Shearman-And Mr.. Harman.
Mr. Beach readngl:

nor TO ask me any further questions on the subject
