Henca, what- ever conversation he may have beard In which Mr. Tilton took apart must have been at No. 44, But Mr, Woodley saya that all of this longthy and important conversation occurred in the fall of 1874, shortly previous to the publica- Sion of the sonndal, and in the ofitcs described as No. 48, ‘ho whole story faa pure fabrication from beginning to end, dnd is nol relievad by & particle of trith, Thore was never any such converastion hotwoen the parties named, oithor at the time mentjonod or at any other time, Alr. Tilton never meutioned the sum of 109,000 or any othor number of dollars as the morchandiso yalto of the scandal in Plymouth Church; nor did Col, Blood ever make or tava occasion to make objection to the publication of the Beeohor article.
