A the 2 Te i a : F THE BROOKLIN INQUIRY. More ef Beecher’s Cross-Examination The following is a report of the continuation of the cross-examination of Henry Ward Beecher, before the Plymouth church investi- gating committee, the first of which was print- cd in yesterday's Stam. Mr. Beecher was fur- ther cross-questioned by Mr. Winslow with ref- erence to the letter written by him stating that Tilton had condoned bis wife’s fault, as follows: T TO STABBING A WOMAN DEAD. Q. You sayin the same letter that he had ‘‘enjcined you most carvestiy aud solemnly not to betray his wife”—in whai respect? A. No: to betray thie whole Giticalty into which his —— have been cast. Consider fall than to bave a woman, a wife made the subject of even inv: ation as it re- spects her moral character. For no greater harm can befall a woman than to be talked about trem house to house with discussions as to the grade or offence, and the probable value of the offence, and the cause of the offence aud everything about it. Next tostabbing a woman dead is to talk about her virtue, and If the pub lie suppore that in order to interpret these let- ters I must refer to a vulgar, physical, gross in- dignity, then they are living on a plane where I do not live. You must remember that I was Aware that, in addition to the trouble involving my name, Mr. Tilton bad also, io fits of jeal- ousy, accused his wife of criminal intercourse with several gentlemen of whom I was not one. and had asserted, in the presence of witnesses, that all her children, except the first, were the children of those gentlemen, respectively. In his decent moods he was very anxious to have such accusations unknown tothe world. The mere rumor of them would cast an ineftaceabls blight upon his children. Nothing would ba: induced me to make this explanation but th: Mr. Tilton bad deliberately chosen to cast a blight of precisely the same kind upon those very children by his subsequent course, and all that is left to me is the power to speak of this abominavle accusation with the scorn which such a horrible falsehood deserves, STORMY Days. Q. You can refer to some points which have already been considered for a moment. “I have a strange feeling about me that I am spending my last Sunday and preaching my last sermon.” Do you refer to the same condi- tonofr health and mind that you have de- scribed’? A. | refer to the factsimply that that Was my state of mind during this great troubie, although, if you were to collect all the language Ihave ueed at various times, it might produce an impression that I had wallowed in asea of unparalleled distress. I have had story days, and have suffered more from Uusthan probab all other causes in my lite put together; yet, tuking the four years together, | have had more religious peace, and more p-ofound in Sight into the wants and sufferings of men. Since [have become acquainted with trouble and despair I bave had an experience in the higher regions of Christian lite that is worth all the sorrow and suffering that | bave had to 0 through to get to it. TILTON’S MANIA Q. Is it or not true that in the course of these matters Mr. Tilton expressed @ strong desire that the secrets of his family should not pe kpown? A. Alwaye. At least that was bis mood, except when he fell into a strange mania attimes. There were times in which it was very evident that he perfectly longed to be obliged to bring out, or to have somebody bring out, @ scandalous storyon bis family, in order that he might have the credit with the world as to be so magnanimous as still to stay at home and live with his wite. «. You say: “My mind is clear; I am not in haste; I shal! write for the public a statement that will bear the light of the judgment day?” A. Ihave done it. Q. You didn’t do it, however, then; had you apy present purpose of doing it then’? A. I thought a good many times that I had better sit down before my memory failed me and make a memorandum of the course of events, and the Tessons of my Conduct, but I watso busy I couid Rot do it. mother, es a clause in which you express @ profornd contidence in Moulton’s fitelity. represent your own feel ithoagh Mr. Mowiton was should select as an idea! man.
