Together they determined to bring
Beecher into this free love movement.
Tilton had malicious intentions in it.
Beecher fatty refused, and hurt her
vanity and prolonged his envy
''Why did Tilton quit the Woodruff
woman? Did they quarrel o.
mo. After Greeley was nominated,
and it looked for awhile as if he might be
elected, Tilten saw chance, for getting
some important Office abroad, or in lieu
of this, succeeding Greeley as editor Of
the Tribune. Sc he discovered his un-
popularity with the Woodruff connec-
ton on his hands, and he simply stopned
coming to their house. Wick felt out
ragged at being dropped in this way, and
now she hates him"
t'Don't you believe Tlton really loved
his wife and grievcs for her?
II think" said Cooke, 'sthat at home
he is brute. If that woman were to re-
turn to live with him tomorrow, his con-
duct would make her quit him in a
week.
"But Beecher's letters What can ex-
plain them?''
"Well. He was either a deep, wicked
scoundrel. or a perfectly frank, emotion
al man. If he was the latter, and had
injured Tilton, as he supposed, his letter
would indicate the remorse of his guilty
gentle nature. OF course, he did think a
good deal Of Elizabeth Tilton, but not to
the extent charged. The sentimental pi-
ETY. of the Plymouth Church has exposed
it to such misbchavior and conspiracy as
this. Beecher will drop out, at last,

prove his innocence

exhaust Tiltcn and make him odious in
this community. 1t will take good
while, but they possess piles of evidence.
Next they will attack Moulton and des-
troy his character absolutely. Mrs.
Moulton will then be left with two such
fellows, who had been her props, removed
from either side. They will show her de-
pendence on these two and dismiss her.
But il Mr.. Beecher had not objected. say
ing that he would not see that family
ruined, his counsel meant. also, to call
equal disgrace upon her head
''How could this be done?''
''Mrs. Woodruff says that SO far from
being called upon by Mrs. Moulton in re.
lation to Tilton's affairs, it was on Mrs.
Moulton's own salvation that the latter
called. She (WoodhulD had become pos
scssed of some family knowledge as to the
Moultons which brought Mrs. Moulton
to her feet"
said, only, to Cooke: ''Don't this
bear some relation to the marvellous!
How could Woodruff know anything
about the affair Of remote private fam
lily like the Moulton's? '
''How can she know anythingi" said
Cooke. ''She has the private secrets Of
large part Of New York"
"What for!"
