"I recollect when Tilton aequainted with Mrs. Woodhuil, lim there. often saw TILTON AND together, but never observe miliarities between them. They addressed each other as Mr. Tilton and Mrs. Woodhall She sometimes called him Theodore. I wrote articles for Mrs. Woodhull’s paper and cor- rected proof slips of paper. Evarts asked what this had to de with the case, and Fullerton replied: it rebuts tes mony of one of your witnesses, Woodley, who test to reading of proof slips.

There was not, to my know ledge, a sofa- bedstead in either of the parlors at Mrs. Woodhull’s house when I was there. Toply remember one occasion WHEN TILTON STAYED AT HER MOUSE. He was preparing the life of Mrs. Woodhull. I frst heard of the seandal in the beginning of May, 1871, in Mrs. Woodhull’s parlors, from Mrs. Stanton. Mrs. Woodhull was told the facts of the scandal by Mrs. Stanton, in my presence, on either the &l or 4th of the monjh.
