love IN the same warm manner IN which
she rendered it to him.
IN January, 1868, Mrs. Tilton wrote to
her husband that Mr.. Beecher called to
see her, and there talked of her husband,
and Mrs. Tilton says Mr.. Beecher loved
him. Mr.. Beecher speaks of the sooth- |
ing influence she has over him. This |
woman writes her husband of every visit |
to her and Of what passed 1t these visits. |
This man pretends that after the al
lodged confession Of the wife to him, in
july, 1870, he broke off from the church,
and swears himself that his connection
with the churched ceased four years be
fore 1873.
Counsel then referred to the gifts Of
books, &C., which were paraded by Judge
Morris, and which, he said would not be
likely presents to be made by libertine.
Counsel read other letters for the pur-
pose Of showing the jury what passed be-
tween Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton at
each visit, and said they only offered the
excuse Of jealousy to man who only
wanted an opportunity for his infideli-
ties. deny that in the history of the
whole human race have we similar case
of woman writing such letters to cuck-
old husband. Counsel here quoted from
the letter in which she asks her husband
to love the Lord Jesus Christ. and bear
patiently with her. The woman who
wrote that letter to Theodore Tilton was
not an adulteress, but she was faulty only
in that she loved him too well. Had the
letter of December 18th, 1885, been pub
lished, he said. before the Catharine
Gaunt letter, what color would it have
given to the present accusation AL
though it was written At the time it was
admitted she was pure.
On the oath Of February. 1855, we have
letter beginning my darling Of dar-
.ings, and in which she ST eaks Of her sin;
and Tilton 1t once hastens to make an
accusation Of adultery against Fl. W.
Beccher.
Mr.. Tilton wrote in September 1866
regretting his being overcome with
worldly -mindedness. In December, 1856
there is another letter from him in which
ne says he has been reading Catherine
Gaunt, and that it turned on jealousy
He expressed the thought that any mar
was fool who was victim of jealousy
and in few sentences afterwards, says
.sOh Fraiity thy name is woman" Ii
all these letters to this poor little woman
) there was nothing but glorification ant
admiration Of Theodore Tilton.
Counsel then read letter dated Marcl
9Th, 1859, in which Tilton wrote his wifi
Of his grey hairs. and, said counsel, Bessi
Turner says he spoke Of them in 1870
and vet this man comes here and in tn
, presence Of the Everlasting God, swear
7 he had no grey hairs then!
