Great Confusion Within the Walls of Plymouth Church. f —_— Bymptoms of Another Scofal Bilious At~ tack Alarmingly Prevalent, ** LIBBY.” ONEZ OF IER PEMALE ‘“FRIENDS" GETS IXTO DXR FOUSE. ‘ Bpectal Dispatch to The Tridune, Nrw YoRr, April 16.—All attempts of inter- viewers to sco Mrs. Tilton have falled. The only conversation with her made public is that of a ledy member of Plymouth Church who has malntained fricndly relations with Mrs, Til- ton and her mother, Mrs. Morse, and who called on Mra. Tilton last evenlag, belng, as she says, unable to sleep until she knew the trutt or falsity of the alleged confession. Mrs, Tilton opened the door. The halr above her forchead had blanched to whiteness, aud sha scemed to have grown ten years older within the last few weeks. The feelings of the visitor were £ 80 INTENSE that she walked directly past Mra. Tilton into tho parlor without utteriog a word, Whea Mrs, Tilton had entered, the lady asked her, while both were yet standing: “Libby, what is all this trouble sbout1" “Thero is trouble ehough, but what do you meani"” “Dig you write the statement that purports to be your confesslonof guilt, and that has been sent to the newspapers for publication 1" “Id1a," replied Mrs. Tilton, firmly, “and every word of it s tiue.” “Then I wish,” sald the lady, “that you wero, . PORTY PRET UNDER THE 80D." “#Wel),"” replied Mrs. Morse, who bad en- tered the room, “*I don't think griel will ever kill us," * How could you,” continued tho Risitor, holding her attention fixed on Mrs. Tilton, **sit for all this time perjuriug yourseif every day?' “Idon't know how 1 could do 1it," repiled Mrs, Tilton, ‘*but I did." *DId your daughtera know what you now say is tho truth before they went to Europo?’” “Yes, they did,” Mrs, Tilton was almost broken down, 8he displaycd wonderful courage In maintaining the rightfulness of her new attituds Yoward Mr. Beccener, but was fn a state of NERVOUS EXCITEMENT, “Has Mr. Tilton beco supporting his chil- droni' asked the visltor of Mrs. Morsv. “Sumptuously, replicd that lady. **Has he scen Mrs. Tilton lately " “Hohas bad two Intorviews with her after his last return from lecturicg.* In the courso of further conversation, the visitor ascertaincd that Mrs. Morscliad scnt for Mr, Tiitou, Bhe was told that the house in which they iive, No. 238 Madison strect, Broaklyn, was to be occupled by other tenants on May 1, and they did not know where they ‘were going to move to. IT 15 THE LADY'S PIRM CONVICTION that they will go to Europe with Mr, Tilton, who has alrcady, sho had lcarned, taken pas- sago In a steainshlp which salls at an early day, ‘Tho lady's theory t6 that Mr, Tiitonhad been trylog to conoiliate Mrs, Tilton, and tbat her wavering betweon him and Plymouth Church in some way became kuown to Mr. HBeecher's fricnds. The cffect of this was to stop the fn- come from $10,000 which the lady says was reg- ularly paid to -Mrs. Tiiton, comiog lndirectly from four geutlemen outside of Plymouth Church. 2 TR STOPFAGE OF TS INCOME 1ed Mra. Morse to joln her persuasive powers to those of Mr, Tilton, Tho result Is tho present statement, which wilt be followed by a journey of ull hands to Europe. “Did you," ehe asked Mrs, Tilton, **let Mr. Beecner know You were gotog to do thisl » 1 tried to do so," Mra. Tilton replicd, “but T couldu't get a letter to bim." **1f you had glven it to me," HEULIED THE VISITOR INDIONANTLY, “1 would biave taken it to bim, and {'d havegot an answer {rom him, too.” While sbe was In tho houso several reporters called at the door, One of these, catching sight of Mrs, Morse, called out: “I oaly want to know whether Mrs, Tllton really wrote this statement” (boldlog up s bit of paperon his finger). I doo't know auythiog sbout It," was Mrs. Morsc's savage rojolnder. ANOTIER INRIFLICABLE ACTION, Mrs. Tilton sent -a message to-day to Mr. Beecher’s hiouse, telling him that the publica- tiou of the confcssion was premature, and that she had |utended to consult bim rst. This but sdds to the womsn's {nconsistencies, and strengthens the assumption of oue portlon of Mr, Boecher's friends, that she s crazy, She does uot, however, appear to bo crazy, but deep- 1y in earnest In ridding her soul of a load she could not bear. ¥rank Moulton calls hera religlous fapatic, and explslns her conduct wholly on that ground. THE ONLY OTHEB IMPOKTANT ADDITION to the Tilton-Beecher story to-day Is tho fact that, four or ive weeks ago, Mrs. Tilton wrote letters to four lady members of Plymouth Church, anticipating her confession of Monday, 4 LETTER THAT WENT 70 BEXCHER. <. _Touts Western dssociated Press, Nsw York, April 16—Ono of tne leadivg members of Plymouth Church, who declined to permit the use of his name, sald to-day that bis wifo recelved a letter from Mrs. Thiton threo weeks ago. “It was on personal matters,” said he, *‘but, toward the close, mosl unexpect- cdly dropped into a discussion of her guilt. Mrs. Tilton then set forth the printed falsebood that she bad never denled her gullt befors she think she should disclose to Carroll until he was aman. *‘The times,' 1t sald, ‘when you have seen me turst into those paroxysms of tears, these were times when the burden on my con- eclence was unbearable,! or something to that effect. Now, tny wife never In her life saw her burst into any parogysms. The most she ever saw was a trembling of her lips when she spoke of her children. The first impulse of my wife was Lo throw the leiter fo tho fire. The accond was to improve the cautton we had Jearned dur. ing the days ol the great trial, and 80 It was sent to Mr.Beocher’s lawyers, wtio bave it now.? BEKCHER, 1N TUE MORNING, Kusra, N Y, Apru 10.—Henry Ward Beecher was a passenzer ou the Etie Hoad west tuls mornfog from Waverly, All efforts Lo get an juterview with Lim were unsuccessful. te went dircct to his hotel after the lecturo last vight, and refused to sec any onc connected with the press. Ile went from the hotel direct to the depot this morniug. When the train atopped, n reporter sought an futcrview, but Beecher refused totalk. A lugecrowd gathered about the car to catch a gliwpse of L, Ie lectures at Bath to-dight, A reporter sought un fnterview, and Mr. Beecher sald: ** It will do you no ggood.” The reporter showed him the morning papers, and Mr. Beecher said: ** I dun't thiuk you haye any moro news than 1 have already recelved.” TOND TALKS. Mr. Pond, bis agent, sald: *“‘The editorial that the absence of Mr. Tilton showed he had nothing to do with preparing Mrs. Tliton's con- fesslon is absurd. The rumor of this arrange- ment, to my personal knowledge, has becn known widely in the West for a lung time, and Mr. Beecher has been often reminded of It Tne Cuicaco Trinuxe of April 2, in an ed- itorial, forcshadowed the coming confession, and warned Tilton thst eny such .attempt would not be welcomed by the public. It may be true that Tilton has not acted directly, but that he acts through bis son Carroll 110 ope ae- quainted with the afair will deny. At St Louls and in Fort Wayno [ was told that TUton had threatened that he would crush Beecher yet. I belleve Mr. Beccher fs convinced that Mrs, Tiltou {s now under the absolute con. trol of her husband: that she loves him, snd that this letter of confession {8 the price she vays for reconcillation, and you will see that they will be liviog together before three months roil round.” NR. BERCAER then stated that for more than four yesrs Mrs. ‘[ilton had been denylng tho truth of what was called ber original confession. In court, before the church, and before committees, she has as- serted her fnnocence. This would more than offeet anything she might say now. Her latest statement was fnstigated by a.desire for a re- unfon with her husband, and was the price she pald for asserting the same. He said ho would contluue bis course just the same; notwith- standiog the scandal. IN TR RVENING. Batm, N, Y., April 16.—3{r. Bercher lectured here this evening to a largo audlence, and was warenly received. fIo appesrs cheerful, refuses to read the papers, will make no further state- ment, and will go right on about his business and ill Iecture engagements as though nothing had happened. He sald to-day that, if Mrs. Til- ton had felt so conscieuce-stricken, she would have made her statement to the church and not to the newspapers, Mr. Boccher has recelved a large number of telegrams to-d suring him that the confession has fallen flat upon the country, aud hes produced no imprezatss upon bis frienas. - TILTON, MUM, Deconan, ls, April 16.—Theodore Tilton lectured here this eventng upon ¢ The Problem of Life.” Ho was foterviewed by s reporter, but positively declined to say anything for pub- 1lcation regardiog the late developments jn New York. TILTON’S COUNSEL. WIIAT THEY BAY, Bpecial Dispateh to The Tribune. Nauw Yonx, April 16.—Willlam A. Beach, senfor counsel for Tilton during tho trial, suys ho had not the alightest knowledge or intima- tlon that any such document was forthcoming, The letter, In his judgment, would bhavo no bearing whatever upon the legal aspectsa of the case, Not only was Tiiton not privy to the publication, but he had good reason to beliove he would have disap- proved of Mrs. Tilton's course had he been aware such a step was contemplated. ¥n Lis opinton, Tilton would have preferred the con- fession sbould bave been mado privately, He supposed tho letter WOULD HAVE CONSIDERADLE INPLURNCE over public opinion In favor of Tilton. Asto whcnuir Tilton bad taken steps to effect o reconclliation with his wife, Mr. Beach sald he bad uniformly manifested a most considerate and tender fecling for her, and had, in his opinion, proved his inherent man- lluess o s0 dolog. He did mot think Mrs. Tilton's coufession would lead to any reoponing of Mr. Tilton's action for dam- ages, 1L was not in tho nature of legal ovi- deace, GEN. PRION, also of Titon's counsel, sald it was a terrivle thing, and it was easy to sce that tho con- fession’ had made a profound Impression on thepubliemind, The publlc were deeply in- terested lo the case, and would continue to be until they were eatiafied they bad got at the bottom of it. It was the inbercnt public In- terest ln the caso which kept ‘it alive. Batlsfy the public one way or the other and the scaudat will bo dead Immcdiatcly, Tho day would certalnly come when tho truth would be mado clear, As regards the legal aspects of the casc, Mr, Prior sald thore was uo certainty as to what might happen. The caso was still on the calendar, and cither party could call it up at auy thoe, FRANK MOULTON, AN INTERVIEW WITH Ti($ PECULIAW FERSON. Special Dispatch 10 TAe Triruns, Nzw Yorx, April 16.—Fraok Moulton sald to @ Thmes voporter to-night that Mrs. Tiltou was & woman who could not, when left to her own thoughts, be auything but conscientivus. Under the iufluence of Beecher or his friends she had passed four years in agoay in tho effort to screen Beecher ‘and save his reputation, She had felt that she owed It to ler childrento sssert her’ Inuocence, but conscience had at last robbed ber of this cloak, tor some- time she was helvlessunder Beecher's fnfluence, but tho truth was in her, and she would bave told It before Uf sbe had been free to do if. Bhe is areliglous fanatic, and, so loog as she be- lieved she was protecting a saint, she could say thinge wot true. Sho was unlike Beecher fo this respect. . ; A CHARACTERISTIO BXPRESSION. #8hebelieved in God sud thoe augels, aud, when she speaks, sbe feels that God .1s looking right at ber, Beecher will awear by God and tho an- fels, but then be kvows God and the sbgels won't touch bim, sud that it mskes no differ- «ence who ho calls to witness.” AN INTERESTING KEMINISONNCE. Mr. Moultou then lod the time when he asw Tilton on = bis knees, pray- tog asloud for strength to enable it. When the lctter comes to and without prejudice, 1T WOTLD CONVINCE EVERTBODY of the truth of the original charge, and that charge be did not think so extraordinary as to be beyond belief. This woutd not be the first case of & woman who had fallen by a priest. Wherever he went lie was Interrogated ahout the scandal, and Inquirfes werc as frequently made by religious peopie as by others. The fnct was that everybody was interested. Yet now, when Lhe matter comes up lu 8 shape that was [novitable, SIANDS WRRD NELD UP IN NOLY HORROR, and cverybody pretended to be dreadtully shocked about ft. Mr. Moulton docs not believe ‘Theodare Tiiton compelted his wife to make the confesafon, nor is lic convinced that the confes- slon proves that a reconctllation has been effect- ed between husband and wite, e had met ‘Ifiton, and knew from bim that he had seen his wife, but only lcarned from him that he believed some such statcment as that made yesterday would be published some day. WHAT PLYMOUTH MIGRT DO. Mr. Moulton said he isd been nssured that the matter would not be taken up by Plymouth Church. 1t was not probable Mrs. Tiitou's namc would be dropped frowm the roll of mein-’ bere, a8 that would precipltate snother invest!- gation,which the chiurch had no desire to make, nor thet the ease would be reopencd by Titton, and Beecher would certainly not bring a lbel sult merely for the sake of giviog Mrs. Titon an opportunity of testifsing more fully in court 1o the facts referred to in the confession. THE CHURCH. CONFUSION, Svecial Dispaich tn The Tribune, Nuw Yonk, April 16.—The meinbers of Plymouth Church ate not of a mind on the question of the advisability of muxing the conlession the basis of soother church (nvesti- gatton, A few think the casc should be re- opencd. A few arc in favor of treatlog tho matter with contempt. Tho majority are vacillating, and retuse to express an oplnion. Thero I8 a shoilar difference of judgment as to whether it will ba best to summon Mrs. Tilton before the Examintng Com- mittee, with a view of dropping her name from the roll. Many are In favor of It, but others secm anxious to find excuses for this erring sls- ter. The men speak of her as one to be pitied, as insane, or under an frresistible * influcnce,” while the women, with siogular unanimity, as- sert that she {8 suffering from TOR MANIA INSEPARADLE FROM A CLHANOE or LIFE. Mr. White, the Treasurcr of the church, is the most outspoken lu favor of another fnvesti- gatlon, Hecannot sce how It can be avoided. Mrs. Tilton at least, ho thinky, sbould be sum- marlly proceeded against, and, being a memnber in good standing, if she should put in an an- swer to the charges, s formal accusation of guflt against ‘her the church would bound to it ur. Mr. White is in favor of “taking the bull by the horns '* and effectually alsposing of the matter, 1t posstble. THOMAS B“:ln!e! 2ald be had resigued from the Examining Com- mittee, aod also from the clerksnip of the church, and, being Beecher's counsel, would be careful not to advise the congrezation. So far a8 ho had heard, the general scotiment of the members was that the confession was not uf any moment, aud that no notice whatever should be taken of it. Prof. Reymoud was doubtful as to what had bLetter be done, and refused to commit himsclf without consultation with others. (Gen. Tracy thought the matter aliould be treated with cuntempt, * TOOMAS PITNEY, Clerk of Plymouth Church, satd Mrs. Tilton's letter would canse a scosation for eeversl davs, and then the cntire scundal would sink out of sight forever. *There s not the least possibility,” he sald, “that Plymouth Church will furite a Congregational Councit ta Inquire into any charges acainst. fts pastor. ‘That course has "been followed hefore, and the charges have been completely overcome, As to Mrs, Tilton, it §s not lkely anything wili be done fu the church, Bhe is a member, and could bo subjceted to disclplinary methode. Charges mignt made aralust her, ~ as apgainst Bowen. of slander against the pastor. It 18 probable, however, that the members of the church will tacitly agreo to let the matter drop quietly. There is not, however, any deslre to evade the lssue. If charges are madc agatnst Mre, Tilton they will be tricd."” PLYMOUTI CHURCH WILL ‘CAST OUT THD WIITE- BOULED ANGEL, New Yonx, April 16.—That some further tigation will follow Mrs. Tiiton's cuntession, is generally counceded, but His not definitely known in what shape it will be brouxht up. “The first step, it s belteved, will be taken br Pli'momh Church, Souie member of the Church will make a charge syaluet Mrs, Tilton sccus- ing her of having slandered her pastor.

The Coberega- tlonal Church had practically withdrawn from all assoclation. Withthe exceptionol atew, church- cs in this ncighborhood generally kept aloof from him. le did not think thero would be suother Eoclestasticat Coudal. Beecher could, af course, get a certain amount of recogaition in his own State andamony the few friends who stlll adhere to biwm, and would continuo to do so as loug as hs pushed himsell for- ward, but the moment hLe went outside of this State, as he had a yesr aund a hall sgo, to the mecting of the American Board ot Hart- {ford, he could not get & chanco to speak. The only effect tho confesslon would have would be to ald in the fnal downfall of Beccner, Heo was graduslly golng duwn, snd it was only a ques. tion of thne as to when hu would reach bottom, THB TRIAL.
