NEW YORK, Nov. G.-Regarding the
proposed reopening and investigation of
the Beecher scandal, member of the
New York and Brooklyn Association Of
Congregational Ministers said yester-
day that The majority of the Committee
appointed would undoubtedly favor a
rigorous investigation of all charges
against Beecher. There was a likeli-
hood that the scandal would be sifted to
the bottom, and impartial justice be
done. He declared that Beecher was
now in very unsatisfactory position,
as he had not been wholly vindioated,
and some of the Congregational minis
ters OF Brooklyn and New York did not
ike to see man in the pulpit who rest
ed even under the faintest shadow OF SO
heinous crime as adultery.
The Herald in its report to-day says,
with reference to the proposed appeal
of Mrs. Moulton to the Congregational
Church, and the investigation soon to
be opened by the Committee of the AS
sociation OF Congregational Ministers,
there seems to be u gloomy certainty
that the miserable business Will again
be ventilated before the public. II is
claimed that this new. committee, il Il
really does take the matter in hand, will
certainly examine Mrs. Tilton, Mr. and
Mrs. Richards, Miss Susan b. Anthony.
and other witnesses, who have not had
full hearing before the Beecher Com
milt.e or before the Brooklyn City
Court. 1t is understood that the com
mittee will not begin the investigation

may be the merit of this particular case

tolerated, and prompt measures shoul,
be taken by the State Department to Sc
cure better treatment OF American citi
zens in Cuba"
