Ho bias dwolt at great length aod with much in- genuity on tiio gushing correspandence botween Tilton and biu wife for several yoars previous to tho nllnged adultery, All heslihy minds must regard this correspondonco on the part of both husband and wita as simply nauseous, Nobody' would think it safo to eay” what peoplo whose amorous susceptibilities’ are 80 abnormally quick and outilowing might or might not be capablo of dolog.
