Mr. Beecher Appears Before the Brooklyn Grand Jury, And Declares that He Is a Vietim of Malicious Slander. He Procures Indictments Against Tilton and Moulton, Full Text of the Document in the Former Case. Mach Excitement Caused in Brooklyn by the Anmouncement, Tilton and His Counsel Prepared to Meet the Square Issue. BEECEER V9. TILTON AND MOULTON Stecial Dispaich to The Chicago Trivune. ErooxLyN, N. Y., Oct. 3.—For the first time since Heury C. Bowen started the story that Mr, Beecher had violated the proprieties of life (that is the delicate way they put it nowadsys), snd Theodore Tilton corrotorated it'by accusations of adultery with his wife, its truth or falsity is in & fair way of discovery. The numerous libel aad crim. con. suits which have grown out of the scandal, involving newspapers, reporters, and msauy others, promised some settlement more satisfactory than the Committes of Plymouth Chuorch arrived at ; but the proverbial law's de- 1sy was %o early exemplified in the postpone- ment of Tilton's eivil suit against Beecher, and abandonment of Gaynor's suit sgainet Tilton, that people began to despair of ever sccing the maiterin court. The suit of MMiss Proctor againat Moulton was looked upon as a eide-iasue. The activity of the Plymouth Church Committeo in urging it and paying the expenses of the case aroused a euspicion that Miss Proctor was vir- tually a cat's paw for Beecher. Nothing per- tinent to the cate of Tilton against Beecher could be brought out ou the trial of such a suit. The indictment of Moulton was a side-issue, in- volving Beecher, it is true, but not in the main charge. - ‘The civil suit of Tilton, and the eeveral suits of Miss Proctor, promised, as eaid before, no early eolution ot the trouble; but Beecher is no sooner home than he «' GOES BEFORE THE GRAND JURT and secures the indictment of both Tilton and Moulton for scandal. Hedemanded admission to the Grand Jury immediately on hisreturn fromthe ‘mountains, and this morning audience was given lum. Ee laid all the statements of Tilton and Moulton befora tha fnrv. and teatifind to the falsity of every material allegation. He wound up at & question of one of the jurors as to what allegations he denied specifically, and in an 1m- potuous and emphatic manner told the Grand Jury that the whole scsndal had been * AN ARTFUL CONSPIRACY to involve him in affairs difficult to explrin, and to extort from him aseistance in the form of patronage and money. He had been drawn into {false situations, and seduced into impetuons and ungarded statements, which had been miscon- strued and distorted to his damage. This had been poesible only through the treachery of s mutual friend, and he demanded his indictment as the gultier of the two. TheiGrand Jury acted promptly, and, though Mr. Beecher was before them at Y:30 o'clock, they presented the following indictient in the County Court at 11 this morning. THE INDICTMENT. The following i thefall text of the indictment againet Tilton: The Peopleof the State of New York va. Theodors Tiiton = “The Jurors of the peoplo of the State of New York, 4n and for the County of Kinge, upon their oaths, pre- sent that Henry Ward Beecher, st several times hervin stated, resided and hath ever since continued o ro- side. and now resides, in the City of Brooklyn, County of Kings, and State of New York, and was 3 ‘married man and clergyman, of pure and chaste chazacter, and of good name, fame, credit, and reputation, and’ that one Theodere Tilton, now o Late of the City of Brook- Iyn aforesaid, nplawfally, wickedly, and malicionaly, with intent 'to injure, defame, and scandaliz> eaid Henry Ward Beecher, or hia good name, fame, and credit, and to subject him to contempt, Hdicule, and disgrace, and to provoke him and bis {riends to com- mit s breachof the peace, at the City of Brooklyn aforesaid, on or about the 18th day of Sep- tember, 1874, and did compoee, write, and publish, and cause and procure to bo written, composed, and published, in & certain public newspaper called the Latly Graphic, of large circulation in sald City of Brookiyn and elsewhere, and which newspaper there- after was circulated in ssid City of Brookiyn, certain falss, scandalous, malicious, and_defamatory lbels, of and concerning him, 631d Henry Ward Beecher, there- by unlawfully, wickedly, fulsely, and maliciously in- tending to pskert, and csusingit to be believed that said Henry W.

THE INDICTMENT AGAINST MODLTON is virtnally the game. Both were prepered in advazce by Mr. Winslow, whois the same per- 80n who was on the Committea of Plymoutt: Charch, and is now District-Attorney. Mr. Beecher's lawyers to prosecats, and who have advised g)mmpt action, are Willam M, Evarts, John K. Porter, and John Grabam. Natarally the announcement of an indict- ment haviog been found created great excito- ment in Brooklyn, but the demonstrations are ©of a quiet character. Tilton retired to lus houss with Ssmuel D. Morris, his counsel, ss soun as the indictmeut was made public, and retused to gee a0y reporters of local papers. Samnel D. Morris, counsel for AMr. Tilton, say8 that Mr. Beecher has at Iast DONE WHAT HLE WAS ASKED TO DO by Mr. Tilton in the opening of the controversy, He has been forced to this act by the recopni- tion that public sentiment was against him, and demanded . gome action to rolieve bum of mdverso criticism for not squarely meeting ihe isme. Alr.

There was great excitoment in Brooklyn wher it became known that Mr, Beechsr had appeared before tho Grand Jury ond made complaint sgaiost Tilton and Moulton, and that indict- ments were found against them for malicious libel and slander.

The present District Attorney of Kings County is Mr. John Winslow, 3 member of Plymouth Bociety, s member of the Investigat- iog Committee, and the author of its recowned report. It is gonerally understood that Mr. ‘Winslow accopted Lis position on the Committes early in the controversy, when ho fancied that tkers would be but one side to it, and that the side of Mr. Beecher ; and that, if he rendered a seryice to the Beocner party by a triumphant uittal of their pastor, the nomination of District Attorney, to which he was bat recently appoiated to il a vacancy, would be gecured to him. But **The best laid pleos of mice and men gaog aft a-gloy.” The report was so badly bandled by Tilton in his last s:atement that Winsalow has fairly had the laugh of the town tumed upon him, and especially that of the legal profession. Tt is proverbial that men can stand almost aay other opposition than ridiculs. It is the same with political parties and their candidates. Re- publicans in Brookiyn do not wish to have Dem- ocrata laughing at Winslow and his reort, and, to save themselves from this mortification, they are seriously debating whether or not they can afford to bniog discredit on their ticket by put- ti;lg 8 man on it who has so successfally stulti- fied himeelf before tho public. And a competitor bas suddenly arisen in the person of Gen. Cat- lin, the law-partuer of Goa. Tracy (who was the counesl selected by the Committes to conduct the examination of witnesses in Mr. Beecher's be- half), who is known to be a personal friend of Mr. her. As matters are, the Republican party here stands between two fires. One fac- sion say that, if Winalow is deprived of the nom- ination, the result will be held to be hostile to Mr. Beocher, and that the ticket will encounter the hostility of Plymonth Church. The other faction say that, if Winalow is ot thrown over, the party will have to go into the canvass with a man who has suffered already worse than a po- litical defeat, and that the chances of euccess will be badly damaged. Itwill thus be scen that the Beecher scandal finds itself suddenly radiat- ing into the sphere of our local politics in a most unexpected manner.

Tilton I alluded to the fact that I dud not expect, when I saw her laot, to be alive many days. That statement stauds connected with a series of symptems, which [ first experienced in 1856. I went through the Fromont campaign, speaking in the open air, three hours at a time, three days in the week. On renewing my literary labors, I felt I musi bave given way. I very senouxiy thought that } was going to have apoplexy or paralysis, or some- thiug of the kind. On two or three occasions, while preaching, I shoald have fallen in the pul- it, if I had pot beld on to the tal Very often, I came near falling in the ntrcets. Daring the Inec Afteen yeats I have goaa iuto the pulpit, I suppose, 100 times, with a very strong impression that I should nes- er come cut of it alive. I have preached more sormons than any buman being would believe, when 1 felt all the while that, whatever i had got to sax to my people, I must eay then or I never would have another chanca to use it. Du=- ing the last four years these symptoms ba1be o repeatedly brought on by my ‘inteuse work, car- ried forward on the underlying ba«s of so muci sorrow and tronble. My friends will bear witness that in the pulpit I have very frequently alluded to my expectation of sudden death. I foel that [ have more thau once already been near & stroks that would have killed or paralyzed me, and 1 carry with e aow, as I bave 80 of:en carried in years befora this tronble began, the daily thought of death sa a door which might open for me at any moment, out of all cares and labors into most welcome reut.
