PATTON. 4 On Thureday last the Rev. W. W. Patton, D. D., of this city, recoived & lotter from tho Chajr- man of the Brookiyn Investigating Committco asking him to appenr before the Committeo and give any information in bis posacasion touching the charges agaiust tho Rev. II, \. Boocher, or, if he could not appear in porson, to send o writ- ton statoment of the samo. Blr. Patton replied by o noto that he was unable to go 1o Brovklyn ot the presont time, but that he would send o writton statement at Lis enrliost convenience, On tho eveuing of the seme duy Mr. Patton for- warded the following papor to the Chairman'of the Committeo: z Mr, . W, Sage, Chafrman: In accordanco with the promise in my brief note this day sont 1o you, I now preparo a siate- mont of what L kuow about the chiurgos bronght ogainst tho Rav. Henry Ward Becebor, Perbaps @ historical order and form may bo the best. In November, 1871, 1 was in Olio, and met Mw, Putnam, of Mariotta, or that viclnily. Bhe requested an intorviow, that sho might give me bottor understandiog of Mr Theodore 'Tilton, with whoso utterances og cortain theologieal and social topics 1 bad expressed editorial dissntis- inction in the Advance. At the interview, at which her husbund was_also present, tha ' iu- formed me thut eho had been intimatoly ac- uainted with both 3r, and Mrs. Tiltou from their enrly childhood, and had esteomed them bighly. “Avout a year previous, Mm. Tilion came to her boueo to takie refuge, ns sho eaid, a4 with & mother, from the sure abusos of her hueband, whoso actious were as bad na his prin- ciples, Thus Mrs. 0, aflirmod to Mg, P, that ner husbsud filled the bouse' with fo- wale visitors whose sentiments on Jove aud marrisge were offensive ; that bo woutd have them thero for duys at a timo; that ho would treat her with entito nogleet, and luvish attention on thom; that bo would sometimes say, in thoir rosence, vo her: *1 love such a peison (nam- 1ng one) more than Icoyou;” tuat ho would spenk insultingly of hor appearanco, and suy that it was o shame for such a fine-proportioned man as ho to be compelled to walk ou tho strevt with such a dricd-up littlo woman ny she; thas he would often accuso her of boing the mistrosy of Heury Ward Boecher, and would sometimes propoge a soparation, saying that he would go with his sot, und she might go with Mr, Boochor; and that ho Lind aleo tried to nduce hor to take tho childron and live abroad in Europe, But slie was unwilling to leave him, hoping that ovantu ally Lis would retraco hin #tops and bo Wls old solf again, as rogarded morals and roligion. Fioslly his treatiwont became euch thar she could not ondure it longor, and so bad coie n broken-hoarted #oman to her omly friend, Mra, DPutmnn, Mrs, I furthor stated that a young woman lad also boen_to her (whom I wape poso to have beon Dessio Turner, though tre, 1. mentioned mno mname) who had lived for years ns an inmate of Mr, il ton's family, assisting Mrs,'I', and that this young woman roprosented that theso complaints of M, I\'s woro truo; that she had scen and hioard many wuch things in the houne; that dr, T, hina {nsilted hor modesty, also, fn such ways an causod kior to loave, altor long pationeo, ow- ing to her love for Mrs, I’ ; that, on one veea- sioh, 840 heard him abusing his wifo outingeous- ly in the next room; and was 80 enragoed theroby that she stepped fv and eaid : *Thooaoro Lilton, it you dara to treat your wife o ngain I will ox- Knnu your chnracter ;" that he roplied: * You ave oxposcd mo alroady to Mis, Putnam ;" that she auswored: **1f you ropent your conduot (o Mra. Tilton, I will expose you to the publio;” aud that ho fnatantly ralsed bia band aud knockod hor down. Dirs, Putusm furthor eald that, when The Chitage Buily Teibune, ‘NUMBER 6, . Tilton's businoes tronbles came upon hi M.rs, I pitied bim so much, and wns nlx; afra tunt ho would go to dostruction, that she wonk hack to him, ond o did tho young womnn; bus ihat aftorwards the Inttor wns epirited away to somo unknowniplaca by Mr. Tilton, o that Mra, Dutnam bnd boow unable to ascortain where sho was. . Buch bad long boon the unfavorabla roporta curront respocting Mr, Tilton's Libils, and such was my porfoct confidonco in Mr. Boecher, that this rtatement of his ncousation ‘| feainst Mr. 3, aud his own wifo did not avon ralgo o suspicion in my mind agninat Mr. Doech~ or. It only oporated lo produco an lmprossion »of tho iho fearful corruption of Mr. Tilton, aud to oxplain, appurently, his editoiial courso on nocinl roform. s Whon tho publio’ seandnl was startod, in Woodhull and Cladin's T¥eeldy, a copy of which t friond in Now York vont to me, I iwag aatounde £d; beeauro it wan ko contrary to my faith in Mir, B, 3 beenuso it was plainly based on somes ng, which Mra, Woodhuil betieved wouks ha WIth reluotance invontipated, or sho would ot have vontured to make such Iarzo and pecifia acousations ; and becawso sho referred by hama toso many resnonsible porsons as PoPBOKRING Imowledzo of tho facta. I then recalled tho fnel that Mrs, Tilton had told Mrs, Putuam thnt Lior husband had thrown thoso ‘vory nccusations in lmr’mnn‘ and I placed that by tho sido of Mr, fTilion's intimacy with Mra. Woodhull n‘nd hin suicidal uct in writing ~her lifo. Could it bo, that Mra, Woodbull had knowle edge of hiy family afTairs, which placod bhim in bier powor? Yot mothing moro that o passing Huspicion was nroused; though I saw that un. less tho porkons named by Mrs, W. oxplicitly and Fnbhgly contradicted hor story, Mr. Beechor, or Ir. Tiiton, or both, wonld bo compelled to ad- mit or deny the alluged facts, or to explain what degreo of truth abtnened to tho oharge. DBut E #aw 0o rengon for alluding to the matter oditori- ully in tho Advance, Whilo in this stato of ind, I wae shocked to recoive, on tho 1st day of Janue ary, 1873, a ]ntlfr from ‘my brother, residont in tho City of NowlYork, stating that Lo had learned that Beackier was guilty; that ho being_ known, with his wifo, to boa warm friond and ardenb* adwirer f Mr, Becoher, had, on that ground, been applied to by Mr, Irank’ T, Carponter, the artist, o take stock in n new daily papor, which was to ‘oo started in Now Yorl, undor the editor~ 8hip of Mr. B, : that Mr. O, told him that Baschor was fanlty ; that the fact was known to some of his iutimnto friends ; that it was necessary to do gomothing tobreak hisfall baforo the publio; thak on consultation with Mr, Boocher 88 to s mothod by, which ho conld withdraw from tho minisiry without exciting suspicion undnly, it had boen nigreed o seo whather now daily political paper could not be started for him, on the ground that Greoloy was dead, and Bennett and Raymond, and thus no conspicuous editor remsined, and thut, a8 Dlr, Boechor wag nuw 60 yoars of ago, and bad now celebrated his punms silvor-wod- ding, tho timo wns nuspicious for him to with~ draw from his pastorato with yot unwenkened faoultics, and to give Lis remaining yoars to an Lonorable and useful wark, st the hosd of a groat political paper. My brother eaid furthor, that, on_Lis meutioning fo Mr. Carponter that 1 was likoly to loave tho Advance, and tuat possibly it would bo weil to engage mo on the proposod papor, Mr. Carpentor warmly assonted, and wugpested that 1 ahould bo sont for. my brothor begged mo fo como on immediatoly, whothor I felt inclined to the project or not, a8 my advico might be of value in g0 important an affair. This lettor stunned me. I slept bub littlo that night. Tho statements were sa plaln that I" koow not how to doubt, and g little could I reconcile myself %0 belleve. Tho noxt day I wrole to my brother that if tho facts wero ag ho ropresontod, on Mr. C.'s authonity, I could have abolutely notbing to do with tho proposed papor; that the scheme would boe & failure in all respects, wag based on o wrong principlo, and could not receivo my co- operation; but that I would comply with hia urgent request, and pracced to Now York in a fow days, This I did, informing no ono but my wife of tho occagion of my going, or of the nowa which I had received, but carrying sround a heavy heart, The lettor from my brother T burned, lest by any posibillty it should fall into other hauds and sprend the report. I reached Now York, Jan. 8, I think, snw my brother, who confirmed moro ¢ length what ho had written, and tried that same doy to soa Mr, Carpenter, ra also the noxt mornivg, but in vain, o did not come Lomo from Lrooklyn that might ; ho dovoting at that time his whole energics to Mr. Tilton and Mr, Boccher, $o the ontire neglect of his own business, DBut the eecond eovoniug ho ecame to my brother's, and .o spent two_or threo hours Lelki::s] over tha matter, Ho said that tho nowspaper Liad beon lmd asido, for the prosent ; for tho rosson that, on matuie consideration, Mr. Boeccher thought it wonld oxcito suspicion rather than allay it'; and becauso it was hoped tlat an jnvestigation might be ovaded, and Mr, Beecher bo able to stand cn bLis past reputation.
