NEW HAMPTON, Ia, April 18.-Theodore
Tilton lectured here last night to large
audience. Although the lecture was good, and
well received, the speaker seemed to be
laboring under considerable mental excite
ment, SO much 50, that it was the general
remark Of the people. The GLOBE reporter
approached him this morning, but he posi-
lively refused to be interviewed, stating
that he had received numerous dispatches
and letters from leading journals requesting
statement, but had declined in every in
stance. He, however, made concise state
ment to DR.. a. Babcock, as personal friend.
The statement was written at Mr.. Tilton's
dictation, and he read, corrected and signed
it, after which was perm tilted to copy it for
tho GLOBE. 1t is as follows:

no agency in it's publication, preparation or
origination. Mrs. T;lton has made over
turea to me for family reunion, nor have l
made any to her, nor have our two daughters ever
made such overtures to either Of their parents.
What Mrs. Tilton's future plans are do not
know. Whether she Is to live in Brooklyn or
not do not know. Ihave not been in Brooklyn
rooms in New York city for more than two or
three days during the present year. Accord

the apartments. I have long ago bought and
paid for ticket to Europe, to sail Immediately
on the close of my lecture season. My daugh-
tiers are in Germany, designing to stay there
three years, and during that time expect to
spend with them every day and hour which my
vacation will permit.
The story that Mrs. Triton is to accompany
Of the family on my return, is u fabrication.
A week or two before the publication of Mrs.
Tiltons card heard, as other persons heard,
TINT she had made private confession to some
of the ladies Of Plymouth Church, who had
been her intimate friends, but all this
knew, less definitely, ,tgeJa did my enemies,
and here repeat that had nothing to do with
the originating or inspiring Of HRS. Tilton's
card; nor had any previous knowledge that a
public confession was to be made, or that there
had been pending any negotiations between he,

MI. Beecher, but che was in state of great
nervous excitement.
HAS Mr.. Tilton been supporting his chill
! dren?" asked the visitor of Mrs. Morse.
''Sumptuously," replied the lady.
"Has he seen Mrs. Tilton lately3''
''He has had two interviews with her after
his last return from lecturing, but he is now
off lecturing again-thousands of miles,
In the course of further conversation the vis-
itor ascertained that Mrs. Morse had sent for
Mr.. Tilton. She was told that the house in
which they live, 1928 Madison street, Brooklyn
was to be occupied by other tenants on May L,
and they did not know where they were going
to remove to. It 10 the ladys firm con-
v.ction that they will go to Europe
with Mr.. Tilton, who has already, she had
sails at an early day. The lady's theory u.s.
that Mr.. Tilton had been trying to conciliate
Mrs. Tilton, and that her wavering between
him and Plymouth church in some way became
known to Mr.. Beecher's friends. The effect of
this was to stop the income from $4,000,
which the lady says was regularly paid
to to- Mrs: Iilton, coming indirectly from On,
church. Tho stcapage of this leo ne
led Mrs. Morse, she thinks. to join her persua-
sive powers to those of MI. Tilton. The
result is the present statement, which will be
followed, she thinks, by a journey Of all hands
to Europe.
"Did you,' she asked Mrs. Tilton, 'let Mr..
Beecher know you were going to do this?''
Il tried to do so, Mrs. Tilton replied, "but
l couldn't get letter to him."
IF you had given it to me-" replied the
visitor Indignantly, II would have taken it to
him, and Id have got an answer from him,
too.''
While she was in the house. several report
ers called at the door. One of these, catching
sight of Mrs. Morse called out:
i only want to know whether Mrs. Tilton
really wrote this statement" holding up bit
Of paper on his finger.
II don't know ything about it, was Mrs.
Morse's savage rejoinder
Daring the evening Carroll Tilton, who had
been out walking, returned homo and entered
the parlor. His mother, at the time, was down
stairs in the dining room.
And this boy must be told, too" exclaimed
Mrs. Morse almost Historically.
''Why should he be told - asked the visitor
above referred to.
''Why, he reads the newspapers explained
Mrs. Morse. land he'll read it tomorrow
morning. His mother had better tell him to-
why, what is it," asked Carroll, becoming
greatly alarmed.
Il don't think you ought to be told" replied
the visitor. 1t is something too terrible for
you to hear
The boy darted down stairs into the dining
room, like shot. In half minute sobs and
EXPLANATIONS of grief from his mother and
ufterward Carroll left the house, and from
window was seen to pace up and down in
vacant lot adjoining it.
''What is he doing!'' asked the visitor.
He's walking of his grief" replied Mrs.
Morse.
He remained walking up and down in the va
cant lot until the visitor took her leave.
