witness AT All, although his manner vi
te>,ifying on that point, as on many others,
will have independent of what he says,
its weight with a jury.
In brief, this is Mr.. Beecher's defence
that Moulton made him believe that Mrs.
Tilton was in love with him; that Tilton
believed it, and also believed that Bcecher
was guilty beyond that that Beecher al
WAYS had been Il warm friend Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tilton and their family; and that
thus he had been the innocent cause of
bringing great trouble upon persons whom
he loved very much. His "letter of con-
triton" and the other letters and state
ments written by him concerning the mat
ter, showing his rcmorse over the wrong
he had done, he thus explains Below we
give rs the most Interesting part Of his
examination thus far, his account:
