New Yong, July 20.—The Tribuns fumishos the cross-oxamination of Mr, Tilton boforo tho Boechor Investigating Committeo. It Is prefaced by tho following letter from Mr. Bago : . BrooxLry, July 25, 1874, Mr, Tilton's direct testimony hsving been publishied withont tho knowledgs or consent of the Gonunlites of Tnvestigation, and fragmentary and inaccurate rejiorts of his testimony under cross-oxamination having been publisbed, by meaus unknown to the Commitfee and ‘without its consent, whereby it 1s eafd that Alr.

W. 80R, Ohairman, TUE CNOBS-EXAMINATION IN DETAIL. Tho tostimony makes ton columns of the Tribune, Tho following are the principal points of intorest : In ansier to queations by Gon. Tracy, Tilton #aid ho could pot give the date of the transac- tion which ho eaid ho witnessod at Mr, Beocher's houso at the timeof tho examinationof on- gravings. His wifo continuedto attond Plymouth Churoh after tho traneaction, but not regularly. About tho time that ho consed to ho editor of the Independent, ho mado & distinct allogation to Bowen againat Mr, Beecher of the offenso he had committed against him, and a lottor was agreed npon botweon_bim and Bowon, domanding that Boacher should quit Plymouth Church pulpit, -Tho oxamination procoedod as follotwa: Q.—And waa that agrooment tho result of his statomont of offonscy against Mr. Deecher, which he and you kneyw of ¢ A.—On tho part of Mz, Bowen, yos, Q.—On your part ? A.~I made one statomént snd ho made many. Q.—Will you state what offcuss you atated ag! 1:;5! Mr. Boccher to Mr. Bowen on'that ocea~ sion A.—Mr. Jobnson, having introduced tho sub- Ject to Mr. Bowen, enid to mo, ** Mr. Tilton, you do not say ss much of Plymouth Church s a Brooklyn paper should; you do not go there; why do you not go 2" Q.—~Iaskod you what offonse you statod ngainat Mr, Beschier to Mr. Bowoen. TILTON ANBWEDS IN TR OWN WAY. A.~I must answer your question in my own way, Tcamo to toll you the truth, and uot fragmouts .of the truth. "Mr. Bowen wantod mo to spoak ‘moro in the paper of Plymouth. Churck, Mr. Johnson eald: ** Parhllpfl Alr, Tilton has a ron~ gon for nat_going to Plymouth Church;" and thoreupon Mr. Bowen was curious to know the reason. - I, io a_golitary phrase, enid that there was a personal domestioreason whyIcould not go thore consistontly with sclf-respect; that Mr. Beecher had been unhandsome in hisapproachos to my wifo. That is the sum and substavce of all T havo ever said on this subject to the very fow people to whom ¥ have spokon of it. Being asked whon ho firat learned that Mr. or Mrs, Beachor had, in sny way, communicated tho facts to Bowen which inflamed him in tho mattor of his (Tilton's) dismines), witness said : I leurned that from Mr. Boechor himaolf on tho dny aftor tho apology was writlen, the 2d—possi~ bly the 8d—of January; it was in Mouiton’s room, DBoocher came in j it was ap unexpected” meeting. Beecher burst out in un oxpression of gorrow, and eaid he hoped tho communication ho sent to the witnoss by Moulton was satisfactory, He then and there TOLD MOULTON HIE ITAD DONE WRONO § not 8o much a4 somo other had,—roforring to his wife,—who had made statemeunls to Dowen that ouglt to be unmade, and volunteered to write s lotter to Boweu concorning tho facts be had mik. stated. Mra. Tilton had Lold tho witness of tho visits Mrs. Booohior made hor, aud of the testi- mony thoy wanted to get, AMrs, Tilton avolio a number of timea of the eumlity which Mrs. Beechor had, for some strangoe reason, connected with Mra, Morso (Mra. Tilton's mother), Thera ‘was & conepiracy batwaen Mra, Morse and Mrs. Boscher bofore Septomber, The truth is, Mra, Tilton’s confession was mado also to hor mothor, and the mother natursily wanted to piotect the daughter, and sho made a kind of alliance with Mr. Boocher, and AMra, Beechor took part in 1. There was a_desiro on sheir part to prolect Elizaboth, Mra, Tilton thought tho witness' re- tiremont from the mfim was duo in some way to Mr. and Mrs. Decohor, and, as witness was very indignant againet Tlowen, that unloss there waa gome raconclliation botweon: Boochor and her husband, hor scevet would bo oxposed. Sho bogizod witnoss to have au Intoer- viow with Boochor, and wrote a note to that effect. Bomo of tho pupose of that Intorviow was that Mes, Tilton folt that Booohor and wit- ness wera IN DANGER OF COLLISION FOR HER BAKE, At hor roquest It took placo, Tilton's dismlssal from tho Union was two days after that intor- view. The interviow had nothing to do with it, Being asked why a dilliculty with Bowon would fi:volve the expoaure of his family secret, whioli he obtained from Mrs, Tilton six” months bofore, witness said: It was not through fear of my exposing it. Mra, Morse and Mrs. Beooher woro somotimes in collision, and Mrs, "Tilton always made mo boliovo that Mr, Beochor know thia secrot, until in Docomber, when she told mo. I took It for granted all summer )omi that she had told hirm what sho had told ma nnd what ahe had told her mother, aud I supposed lllim Mrs, Beecher was co-operating with Alrs, orae, Q.—Did you not complain of Mr, Beecher for not alding you to romain in tho Independent ? A.—No, air ; I would havo scorned it. . Tilton contintied ¢ He nover told Ssmuel Wil- keson that Booohor had not bufrionded hia in that mattor, but for being uujust to hin and u:;lu Lo ought te bo turned ont, u Ll furthey testimony, witnoss enld ho no- ospted the apology Boooher muade, and forgnve tho offenke with as muoh lurgessn as ho thought it anml:lu for & Cirlstian man to assume, Jlix rolations thoreafter with Boecher woro NOT FRIENDLY, BUT NOT HOSTILE, There wese selutions which Moulion foraed ‘with an fron hand. Witneas bad taken pains to hava it appoar in all quattois that Beechior and himaolt wore siob in hoatllity, and supprossed his Relf-roapect many timos in dofng it; never atated tho offonso of Mr. Bocchor to Dr. Btorrs ; shioned Dr. Slorra lotter whioh Elizabeth sud imunlf wrote, and whiob ho still presorved; ol cliargo Beccher with any offonas at all, beth atated that— : To the question, ‘‘How wng tho offenso statod 7" Tilton roplied : It bogun in tlils wlfil that ou o cortnin dey in tho auminer of 1870 sho lied Informed her busband that Mr, Beecher bad nsked hor to Lo n wife to him, togethor with all that this hnplied. Bha was vory aolivitous to make it apponr that sho did not accopt hils proponition, and, hanpily, in reaging it, thoso who saw it naturally Inferre thay sho did not accopt hia proposition. DEECHER OWECTS AND TILTON ACQUIESCEA, 1t was o porfectly corroot statemont. Witnoss Tond tho statomout_to Beochor, who objectol to 1t, aud witnoss made no furtnor use of {t. o, howover, propared & _documoat on hin relations to Bowon, in which Eliznbeth's lottor waa statod, a8 woll a4 the lattor of apology, which he put in, not wishing to mnke the offenss moro thnn that; way Bolicitous not to bave the worst of the caso known. Thia was also read to Dr. Storrs, to whom witnoss Wout in great distross, wanting counsol, % Q.—And 8o to statod tho caso? . A.—Yos; it was a statomont noecorsary to bo made aftor Mrs, Woodbull'a statomont. I was ont of town,. aud tho thing had fillod .tho country, and Beechor had takon no notico of it. It was soven or clght dayn afler, aud I wont to Dr. Btorrs for counsol. Iloasked manbout the story, I eaid: “Do not ask mo for that.” Hoenld: * Civomasoma facts by which I con juage; givo mo that whioh can bo praved,” Ho gavo an account of my affairs, vory largoly ebout Mrs, Woodnull, and 8o on. Tho origin of that documnent waa a secking for somothiug that would put bofote tho public : A PLAUBIDLE ANSWER TO THE WOODUULL TALE, and 1 concolvod that, by a chain of faots, wo might purhnlm oxpiain it awny. I read it to Mr. Beeclior, and bo burst into a long sigh, and Iuaw that ho would ot or could nut stand upon it, aud Ehzabeth barned or Lore it to ploces. Q.—Why did you abandon the docuwont? A.—DBacaugo thera was no success iu it. { Q. x\;n.vx‘v; was it not because ho did not zo~ copt it .—Deeause bo did not accept or rojoot it, Ho wanted no statoment made, and eo; the thing wan burlod, - 3 ; .Q.—llavo yon nok froquently asgorted the purity of your wifo ? A.—Noj; I have always had a strangg, technioal uso of words. 1 have taken pains say that 8ho was o devoted, Olristiau woman) sud that neceannrily carried tho othor: it was a lke statoment that I onrried to Dr, Btorrs, I do not think bo caught tho idoa of that statoment; a8 ho took 1t, I do not think it covered the whole, I bave eaid that Elizahoth was » tonder, deileate, kindly, Ohristian woman, which I think she is. : . Q.-—gnvo not you stated that she was pure? A.—No. Q.—Havo_you not stated that sho was as pure as an angel ?’ A.—Noj; dr, Hallidoy says I said that; ho asked mo in Mrs, Bradshaw's preseuco whother or not I hnd not said that MY WIFE WAS A8 PURE. A5 GOLD. > ““No,” I eaid, *Mr. Hallidav, becauso the con- voraation to which you allude was this: T snid Go and ask Mr. Bocebor hitnsolf, aud ho will say that gho s ay pure as gold ; it ia pu exprossion which housed.” I havesouglitto givo Elizaboth o ood character ; I have always wanted todo so; I thk aho dosorves a goad olinracter ; I think sha is better than most of us; bottor than Iam; I da not beliove in poiut of sctual moral gaoduess, barring somo _drawbacks, that thoro is in company g0 white a soul as Elizaboth Tillon. Q.—Did you not state that in substance to one or more of the gentlomen with whom you wore lunching? 3 A.—Iu substance, yos, and I atate it now, but 1 did uot uso the pliraso that sho had nover' vio- lated bor chagtity. @ Q.——;‘Jid-yau not sy that sho was pure ? A.—No, Q.—Did you not uso cxpressions which you in- tonded to bo understood as meaniug tho purity of woman ? 7 A.—I did, oxactly. There are many ways in which you ean produco such improsmons, and I have writton this document to produce the same {mprosston. . g TILTGN CONTRADICTS WILRESON, ‘Tilton was noxt oxamined i relation to Wilkoson's statomont, and axplichly contra~ dicted sovoral pomts' thoreln, atating that tho conversution betweon himsolf and Wilkeson was ebout Bower, whose chinrges againat Beecher, it was desired, should be withdrawn, 4 Witubss oxpressed giadness to havo this done, for he thought every chargo agninst Boochor ondangered hig wifo, but when tho paper was , brought_him fo sign, it waa & com- pliment to Doechor, rose-colored, in which witness was to look up to Boochor with filinl 1o~ spoct. IMosawt: * I won't sign that to tho end of the world,"” and cut out a fow lines and would not use them. If Wilkeson communicates the {mprogsion that witndss ovor wanted money from Deccher it is false, Boecbor hins communicated through Moulton roquosts that witness bo ss- sisted by him, but ho would not take » pevny of Deacuior's money it ho_splored from bunger or thirst, and sald that if, directly or indivectly, Moulfon ever communleatod to bhim any of Beacher's monoy it would bronk their friendship, Witnesa' complaint to Witkenon was that B DEECHER HAD LEEN UNJUST, ot that ho had not helped him, Witness’ rola- tions and fecliuga toward Beachor, sinco Jan, 1, 1871, when he made tho apology, down to tha timo when the church bogan to put out its right hund_nnd toke witness by tno thronf, wero fuiendly, Thoy ware friondly in the senso that they wore not “in collision with each othor, but were not thoso of fricudship. Witness had takon Bocchor's apology, snd given his word that hia would not have him exposod, Q.—Is it yoursentimont that that is an offonse for which one man can apologizo to anathor? - A,—I know ‘thore is a code of houor amoog ‘gentlomon that a man cannot condono such an offense ; but I caunot see woat offunse a man caunot, farpive, when an apology is made by tho porson committing it to_the porson sgoinst whom it was committed. If a man bolisves in the Christion yeligion he ought to, I somo- times forgave and somotimes L d&id nok. Xdo knaw a lina of difforance. " Q.—~In that yonr handwriting?
