Beecher's preaching to his mistresses, the
origin Of which TitOn said he did not
know, was said by MoulIon to have been
told to him by Theodore Tilton himself,
when the latter was pretending to be
Beechers friend. Even Moulton was
compelled to confess that when be was
told this he did not believe il,
Mr.. Porter then spoke OF Tilton's
threat to shoot Beecher, and said that the
jurymen were asked 10 condemn the latter
on the oath Of an assassin. In letter to
Complaining friend" said the speaker,
TiltOn denounced the story OF his wiles
adultery US lie raised by Bowen and
Woodruff, and said he had no knowledge
Of the scandal article. lie would have
you believe that when this scandal article
was published and telegraphed all over
this land and abroad, that he (TiltOn)
remained ignorant OF it a week. TheO-
dore Tillon was in love with the woman
who published the article, She was
white-souled woman, but the course Of
true love never ran smooth, and after
this libel on his wife was published
he guarreled with her. She testfies that
when the charge was made against
his wife he did not hasten to put in
q vindication OF her, not because he loved
his wife less, but because he loved Henry
Z. Bowen more and feared that Bowen
would be crushed by Henry Ward Beech
er. After Beechers return from Peeks-
kill on the 18th Of July, 1874, said Mr..
Porter, aud after Redpath's message Of
tho 18th OF July to Beecher, the charge
was then changed to adultery, but Red.
path did not believe this charge. This
impudent cuckOld, said the speaker turn
ing to TiltOn, who comes into court
ilOurishing pair Of antlers which are
not his own and which he asked to tip
with gold. This cuckOld submitted his
short report for the adoption OF the Com.
mittee after Beccher's return. This re.
port, gentlemen, did not contain one word
about Mrs. TiltOn's adultery. Theodore
Tilton knowing all the facts Of the ease
thought this report would reflect credit
on all concerned. This is the document
prepared by Tilton and borne to Bcecher
by MOutOn on the l4th Of July. They
were about to entrap Beecler into the nSe
of the language used in that document
before the committee and leave the
alleged Oilcnse committed by him unde.
lined. In long report Tflton admitted
the ialsity Of his own accusations. Ne |
did not know that in the language Of the
law what a man wrote for another to
sign was evidence against himself. This
report showed that the only oilcnse i'm.
puted to Henry Ward BeGChcr was the
charge Of improper proposals.
Counsel then read the long report pre-.
pared by TiltOn to be submitted TO the
and commented briefly on
different portions. Here was q report,
said Mr.. Porter, which TiltOn prepared
three days after his wife had left his roof
and after he had told the story Of his
wiie's adultery, and he ccrtilies here that
the apology did not mean adultery. but
that II was an apology for mixed up
affair. Which was true, the paper Of tho
l4ih Of July, which exOncrated Mrs.
Tilton and Mr.. Beecher, or the paper Of
the Goth, which set them forth MS shame.

The court here adjourned.
According to the Irihunc's report an
