Mr. EvartS-NOw, MIR. Tracy, Will You answer
the question: A. After Mr. Moulton had stated to me
that this last prths part OF the Woodruff publication
last referred to-was true, said "Of then, Mrs.
Woodruff never got any information from you OF this
kind" He said Certainly not; never informed her
word OF anything she has published in that pubica-
ton" nearly recall the conversation in the
order which 1t occurred (bu that hardly attempt to
do-to orderly how each part OF the conversation
succeeded the other but can recall the next
thing that occurred was asked Mr.. Moulton "Well,
did Mr.. Tilton ever give Mrs. Woodruff this infOrma
toni" His reply was: 81 don't believe he ever
did | don't believe he ever said a word to her on
the subject OF Mr. Beecher's relations with his
wife" Then / asked Mr. MoutOn: "Well, what
does Mr.. Titon charge Mr.. Bcccher wlthi Does
he now charge him with adulteryf' He said, " No" |
said What is the charger He SAID; - womb
rather Mr. Tton would state that TO you in his own way
if you will consent to hear it." And he asked me If
had any objection hearing statement from Mr. Til
ton said had not, II Mr. Tlton felt disposed to make
IT, then learned for the first time Mr.. Tton was TO be
present at that interview am sure he said To me either
that he had Mr. Tilton come the hCse that he had
notified him come, with reference TO this interview
GEN. TRACY ON PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE.
-And he went out of the room, was gone some
few minutes and returned with Mr.. Tlton and Mr. Til
ton and spoke and then think Mr. Tilton proceeded
with the conycrsatontook up the conversation from
called into this without his knowledge or consent
or approval lie said: "Mr. Tracy, 1 will
ask"-or he said: 81 am about to IL
IN not sure which, - to make statement
to you about my case against Mr.. Beecher;
| don't know what the etiquette OF your profession
allows. II | make statement Of my case against Mr.
Beecher to you, and Mr.. Beecher and myself should
afterward come into collision would the etiquette OF
your profession permit you 10 be counsel for Mr..
Beecher3" l replied, "Mr TltOn without discussing
what the etiquette OF profession would or would not
allow say to you that II person hayinga controversy
with another To and makes statement OF his
side the controversy and the parties should afterward
come into collision that case, should not feel at
liberty 70 become counsel for the other party"
MR. TILTON DISPLAYS THE TRUE STORY"
-ThereupOn, Mr.. gitOn unfOlded, as remem-
ber the covering OF manuscript which he brought with
him into the room and began to read statement; the
manuscript in loose Sheets detached ana was much
erased and underlined, and while it was generally writ
ten on side of the sheet parts that had been erased
and rewritten in instances, as remember as
he turned them over written the other side OF the
sheet and he read and talked about his relations with
Mr.. Beecher and Mr. Bowen; he stopped TO elaborate
points that he had made in writing and TO make explana
lions, and he talked ami read it 10 impossible for me to
discriminate between what written and what was
conversations but remember the story have recol-
lection; the general tenor OF it i'll effect what
Mr. Beach-wait one moment, Cir; I object to that

1t, will state It,
Mr. Evarts-I will ask him the question, 80 that you
may make your objection

stating generally inference which does not depend on
his own knowledge.
