TS BROOKLYN PESP. Between the Acts in the Creat Social Drama. AN OFFER TO TILTON. Remarkable Letter from Mrs. Tilton. ‘The situation of the great scandal case, a8 far as the journaiistic plummet coula sound, re- mained unchanged yesterday. The flaming head- Unes, “Beecher!” ‘filton 1” “Moulton!” “Startling Developments!” and similar standing headings which have been kept before the Public eye in the Provincial journals for the past tew weeks are disappearing from their wonted positions at the heads of the columns, and the milder terms, “Gossip,” “Speculation” and otner less expres- sive words have supplanted the more attractive phrases, Theodore Tilton said yesterday vhat he did not Wish to be interviewed, and the greatest favor one could do him was to keep his name out of the zs Rewspapers. He is sick of notorlety. Heis hard at work on his second statement, a synopsis of the chief points of which, appeared in the ALD of yesterday. Thg Services of Gen- eral Roger A. Pryor, ‘who is ‘the distin- guished counsel” to wi Mr. Tilton alluded at the time Mr, Gaynor Satised his zrrest for libel, have been accepted by MF. ‘fulton, and the General will confer with Ex-Fhdge Morris upon the plan of a | battle in the courts. The summons and complaint are prepared and are ready to be served when Mr. Mouiton suall havespoken once more, Frank 1s ex- pected to arrive at his home in Remsen street, on ‘he Heights, irom Boston at an early hour this morning. The District Attorney, John Winslow, Who is hard at work on the preparation of the tes- timony taken before the Plymouth Committee, ar- rived in town from Shelter isiand yesterday, and consulted with several members of the committee. He was advised to go on with the work o! arrang- ing the evidence. which will be prepared by Thurs. day evening, when it will be presented to the com- mittee, which will hold a meeting at No, 34 Monroe Bice: the residence of Mr. Augustus Storrs, Mr. insiow wiliremain at Bay Kidge, bis country Seat, antil to-morrow. Mr. Cleveland said that Rothing woula be given the press from the com- mittee, They wouid report to the Charch at the Friday evening sessivn, and the newspapers Would have to look to the Church for the report. Theodore {s persistently piunging deeper in the slough than before, and a wondering world is Waiting for the mysteries of tie new revelations which he is understood to be hard at work prepar- ing. Mutual Moulton is vibrating somewhere be- tween deep sea fishings and Brooklyn. Verily Frank's angling must resemble that piscator con- @erning whom erstwhile it was written :— His hook was baited with a dragon’s tail: He sat upon # rock and bobbed for whale. BX-JUDGE MORRIS NON-COMMITTAL, ae Morris was scen as he waa leaving his office. ‘Has Mr. Tiiton’s complaint been prepared?” the reporter asked, “I cannot say anything on the subject,” said the er. “Will {t ever be prepared, signed or presentear? “I cannot answer that question, sir.” “In sbort, Judge, will Mr. Tilton seek any such Jemal redress as has been stated!” “T have not 4 word to say, sir. MOSES S. BEACH CHILDLIKE AND BLAND, Moses 8, Beach, the well known ex-newspaper proprietor, was called upon at his residence, No. 96 Columola Heights. In answer to the reporter's card Mr. Beach presented himself in his drawing room, radiant, smiling and mysterious. in a man- ner at once childlike and bland he said he had no opinion on the scandal in any way. He had not the remotest conviction either Way as to the black- mating charge; in fact, he nad not a word to say about the business, However, alter some pleasant couversation, Mr. Beach said he did not see that Mr. Beecher was at all ‘nculpated. No, sir; not at all inculpated by anything that nas appeared in the form of evidence. AS a newspaper man, I don’t want to say anything about the supject, ex- Sere tat I don’t believe Mr. Beecher is incul- pated. MRS. STANTON CONTRADICTED, The following letter from one of the most infiu- ential Congregational clergymen in the West was feceived yesterday by Mr. Heury M, Cleveland, Although not intended for publication, yet so di- rectly does it bear upon the case that Mr. Cleve- land feels justified in putting it on record. The letter ts dated Kalamazoo, Mich., Friday, August 14, 1874, and proceeds as follows:— last I had @ conversation with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, during which our talk turned upon the Beecher-Jilton matter. ‘We bowh expressed regrets at the absorption of the public with such a case, and while I expressed absolute confidence in Mr. Beecher’s integrity she did not demur in the least at the sentiment. I cannot aflirm that she expressed the same confi- dence, but in the absence of any word to th» con- trary the impression was left upon my minu that she entirely agreed with me. I remarked to her that I considered Mra. Tilton the one to be pitied. Atthis she spoke of Mrs, Tilton with great earnestness and sympathy, say- ing that she (Mrs. Tilton) was as pure a character as cver lived; that she was well acquainted with ber and knew her troubles and sutfering; that she was wrecked with grief brought on by ner hus- band; that for a long time she had withdrawn from society, making or receiving scarcely a call, but shutting herself up to her own sorrow, which would doubtless lay her soon in her grave. This, she said, 18 an instance of what a husband has power to do. She spoke of Mr. Tilton’s fall with the Woodhull; how, in his strange infatuation, he clung to ner (Woodhull) when every decent person had aban- | doned her; how she had hoped for Mr. Tilton’s retorm, and that his wile might condone his course, and et have measureless peace | again in her lite, &c. I do not profess to | give any expressions verbatim, but I am certain that I do not deviate from the meaning which Mrs. Stanton intended to convey to me. She gave no | hint of any suspicion against Mr. Beecner, but amMirmed, with great earnestness of manner, ner jail belief that Mrs. Tuiton, a pure and beautiiul cvaracter, was crushed by grief at the reckless un- faithiuiness of her husband. My amazement was so great at recent news- peer accounts quoting Mrs. Stanton to the con- | ry that 1 mentioned to some parties that I | knew they (the accounts) could not be confirmed, J cannot jorbear pointing out to you the wide dis- parity between Mrs. Stanton in May and as repre: | Sented by late papers.

About noon to-day an Hagle reporter accom- panied Mr, Tilton from the County Court House to his residence on Livingston street, Un his way thither the following conversation took place :— REPORTER—Is there anything, Mr. Tilton, which you would be pleased to tell me in connection ‘with your case of interest to the public?

An Eagle reporter called round to Mr. Kingsiey’s Office, in Montague street, to make an inquiry a8 to one of the allegations made above. The reporter ascertained that Mr. Kingsley is absent irom the city, and is with his family at Lake George. Mr. Beam, the business represent: tive of the firm of Kingsiey & Keeney, Was presen On being asked what he thought of the stutement made by Mr. Tilton, he said: I have heard a statement like that before. There is just about this much truth in it. When Mr. ingsiey was in the city a week or ten days ago the Beecher-filton scandal was at its height. At that time neither Mr. Mouiton nor Mr. Beecher had made any statement. re Kingsley thought that the scandal was bringing tuily certain to ve the assailants of Mr, Beecher in a common ruin. He 1s and nas been pe. rms, Iknow he believed thay the best thin, ton could do was to shaké off tims trouble apd sake up the interrupted business of his lite. In his own words, he thought in this ¢ Be that there nad been ehough of pulliig do®d, Sb that 1t was time to try and build somebody up. have heard him say that he would gladiy help Tueo- dore, and Tam sure that all the foundation there 18 for Tilton’s statement is, that Mr. Kingsley told Tilton what he certainly told others, that he woulda help Theodore Tilton, and to vring all this dis- graceful business to an end, Reporter—Ig Kingsley “acquainted with Mr. Beecher Mr, Seam—They are just about on speaking serif, Mr. Kingsley has a very high appreciation of Mr. Beecher’s abilities, and when he lived down town had @ pew in his churci, although Mr. Kingsley usually attends the l’resvyterian Churca, RevorTeR—What do you think of ‘ilton’s story? Mr. BEAM—I think Mr. Tilton is a man 1t is very dificult to serve, and don’t like his iriends. His enemies are pretty certain to be bespattered by the mud he is throwing round so recklessly. The color Tilton gives this story shows how he has painted up his case from first to last, Mr, Tilton 18 a good man to avoid, to keep away from, in my opinion, STRANGE LETTER FROM MBS. TILTON. [New York correspondence Chicago Tribune.] BROOKLYN, August 15, 1874, If anybody supposes that Mr. Beecver’s long and perfumed statement has settled the case of Tilton’s desolate house against Henry Ward Beecher’s work, then he must sleep the sleep of Rip Van Winkle to be perfectly happy. I came down from Saratoga to-day, and went over the field in person. Beecher had gone off hke a travel- ling menagerie and waxwork show. Tilton stood guard in his- home, with his old Irish house- keeper. His daughter Florence was at Cornwall, on the Hudson, near West Point; the little chil- dren were at Montclair, N. J. Mrs, Tilton was jealously hidden away, as Tilton said, be- cause the Beecherites thought she might {ail into his hands sooner or later. ‘It may be many years,” he said. “She will confess the whole truth, Confession, with her, is absolutely necessary for the repose of her soul. Poor child, they will not let her cleanse her soul by speaking. I told my daughter Florence,” continued Mr. Tilton, “that before these people were done with Elizabeth they would reject her, disgrace her, and cover her with contempt. Beecher did just that day before yesterday. Itis apartof his plan to disbar her and make her unworthy of belief. Ido not know where she is, I cannot learn.” lwas IN SEARCH OF MOULTON, anda letter of inquiry was sent to his business house, The following answer came back from one of his partners:—“Frank 1s, 1 think, in Portland, Me., to-day; at least, in a letter received from him this morning, dated the 13th, he said he should go vhere to-morrow.” Whether he 1s still there or not I cannot say. Should think he would hasten back under the circumstances, and I look tor iim Monday morning. I was gratified, yet made sad, to-day by the sight of A LETTER FROM ELIZABETH TILTON to her husband, written in October, 1370, three months aiter her coniession. I will not say how or where I saw it, but that is not vital, Seduced, confessed, penitent, miserable, she addresses du- Plicate letters to her mother and husband irom a point in the West where she was ilving out her ear of contrition. All this time her mother, Mrs, orse, the evil genius of the house, was preparing the pubNe mind jor the day of wrath and nerving on her daughter to desert Theodore Tilton iorever. The wife, getting her ideas of her houxehold while sbsent from this unhealthy source, wrote upbraid- jogly, and yet in shame to her husband, seeking, it appears, to give him strength in his affliction to bear his woe. The letter said neariy as follows, though I could not copy it. lam telegraphing en- refi Ps memory two hours aiter I have seen e letter :— Theodore, I have taken my own fault to my Saviour and made my peace with Him. Oh, why do you kee intimating it to my mother, and say in your intense mo- ments that after 1am dead you will depiction of Mr. B.

Tnever renewed that woful intimacy. When you break out in these strains of ferocity evervbody suspects what you mean, Even our daugiiter, gathering the meaning 01 the offence, asked me one day over the table whether I was an adulteress. Think of the children born to us, of the one still unborn. and pray God's forgiveness upon’ us both. know the rum in our household, the aap between us who loved too well; the agony of spirit that is driving us on and on.

Although he isseparated trom mother, it gladdened my heart to hear w For. pity’s sake, let silence rest upon this thing, and, it we can never love again, let us spare the dear offspring God has given us. ‘rhe letter is about eight or nine pages long. A duplicate was sent to Mrs. Morse, witu orders to destroy it and never mention its contents to the husband, but to read it that she might be advised what was being said from her daugiter to the hus- band. The letter strictly BEARS OUT MR. TILTON’S THEORY that Mrs. Tilton Jeli without the knowledge of guilt; that she was awakened to the fact of guilt by some such Circumstance as reading the story of Catherine Gaunt; that she then made a voiun- tary confession of her offence ; was put in despair by the constaeration that she had destioyed Mr. Beecher’s useininess as well as her husband’s peace of mind, and that the housenold was going to pieces beiore her sight. She saw her husband backsliding, tippling to arown his misery, and Beecher equally smitten with fear ana despair. ‘Through all 1t is ‘A RATIONAL, TRUTH-SERVING DOCUMENT, and it is closed by an imploration to destroy all correspondence, and speak nothing that will spread evil report. Not a point in this letter 1s met by Beecher’s labored deience. Talso saw TWO LETTERS FROM REYNOLDS AND FORD, Tilton’s attorneys, written in 1871, while the suit of Tilton against Bowen was pending, which wholly refute Mr. Beecher’s atatement that he settled Tiltou’s case witu Bowen, put $7,000 in his pocket and enabled him to establisn the Golden Age. Toese lawyers write letters, each of them, and enjota Tilton not to submit to any arbi- tration, because his case is perfectly sound tu open court; aud they say “if you submit to an arbitration 1t must be in the interest of a third principal to avoid disclosures and not to get de- serts. What I advise is that you prosecute your own rights. Be not diverted by sympathy with any outside party, and play your part like @ man_ of business, open and aboveboard.” When Mr. Beecher, thereiore, says that Mr. Tilton used nim (Beecher) to get what was belonging justly to Tilton he prevaricates and ascribes to himself AN ACT OF GENEROSITY HE NEVER PERFORMED. On the contrary, Mr. Beecher was the man who had Tilton discharged irom both Bowen's pubdlica- tions immediately after he found Tilton had knowledge of guilty intercourse with his wife, a3 the following memorandum will show :—Mrs. Tilton confessed to her husband July 3. She failed to tell Beecher that she had conressed until De- cember 30. Tilton had his celebrated interview with Beecher the same night. Next day, Decem- ber 31, Bowen, in @ curt note, broke his’ recently revived and strengthened connection with Tilton, thereby involving himselfin the following penalty, to wit:—He agreed, but two or three weeks velore, 40 Day. Tilton $5,000 @ year as a contributor to the Independent, and $5,000 a year, besides ten per cent in the profits, as editor Of the Brookiyn Union. ‘Ten thousand dollars, added to ten per cent, made the sum of forfeit to be paid by any violent cancei- lation of the engagement. Mr. Tilton never knew until Mr. Beecher’s s'atement that 1t was Beecher who waited on Bowen and demanded him to get rid of Tilton, “Why did he do it?” said [ to Tilton. He answered, “Because he knew that, with my knowledge of his guilt, I must be degraded before the public and put out of influence and the power to harm him, Therefore, while he seeks to parade his patronage of me as something chivalric, he was really waking the bread out of my mouth and out ofthe mouth of the woman he betrayed and her children.” Said I, “What do you think of the Brooklyn Zagle attacking you as @ biackinailer ?”” “Tes A PURELY MERCENARY BARGAIN,” said Mr, Tilton. ‘Tracy, attorney for Beecher, is only needed to give lim twenty-four hours’ no- . also the attorney for Field, whose wife Kinsella, Lhe edutpr Of bag Aggie, wcbauched aud seduged, | Ble terrorizing an discredit on evErTpody conneotea with it, apd was | vi very friendly to Mr. Tilton, although they are not | willingly contribute of his own money $5,000 to | State P | is a true statement, as the same was made by Mary BE. ive the world a |} it and a consent to live unul | Sow there 1s a bargain that when Tracy comes to | rosecute Kinsella he will let up lightly on him if | inseila takes the part of Tracy’s other client, | Beecher.

One of the actors in the Jersey City church scan- dal is no more. Alter a night of intense suffering, in which mental tortures almost completely sufed physical agony, the shades of death settled on the eyes of Mary E, Pomeroy. The closing hours of her biighted career were hours of anguish—that anguish that wells up trom blasted hopes and that | has consigned so many of her sex, while yet m the | morning of life, to the sieep that knows no wak- | ing. Beside her bed sat and watched the | Telatives and guardians who took her into their keeping and protection when her parents passed from tbis world, who felt | the pride of parents in ner promising talents, modest demeanor and lady like deportment, and whose faith was never awarded to any prediction | that did not augur for her a happy and prosperous | future. Alas! what a load of misery this one small word has heaped on many a glowing heart. Their hopes are meited and no more trace is left than of | last winter’s snow. They, too, passed through a night o1 misery as they saw the blossom droop, droop, and then quietly fade away. It was, in- deed, a peacefal, a childlike transition from this world of days and years to the realm of eternity. Atan early hour yesterday morning the Over- seer of the Poor, Mr. Dudley, called at the bedside of the young woman, and perceiving that she was dying he called on Justice Aldridge to take her dying statement. The Justice refused, except on condition that sne expressed a desire to see him, Mr. Dudley again called at the house, and having obtained her consent, Justice Aldridge proceeded | to the house. This was at eleven o’clock, Ap- proaching the bedside Mr. Aldridge asked, “Do you know me, Miss Pomeroy?” The reply was, “un, yes, I know you—I know yon all bere.” “You are quite ill Do you wisn to make any statement?” was the next question. “Yes, ldo,’ was the answer gasped out, with failing breath, She then proceeded slowly and | deliberately as follows, the magistrate taking down every word caretully :-— Lfeel as though I have not tong to live. There have | been a great many things said about me. T now tell the | truth in the sight’ of God, that John 3, Glendenning is the father of my child.’ He has denied it, and sill | denies it; but he and no one else is ths father ot that | child, He has said things against me; 1 was atraid of him, but now [am not, He may have papers, but that does not clear him. ‘This statement was taken down tn pencii, and Mr. Aldridge leit the house and proceeded tu his onice tocopy itin ink.

She | then offered herself to her Creator, but the words | here failed her, and as she gasped | and faltered the scene was 80 thriiling | ; that those who were near the _ bed- | side buried their taces in their hands | and burst into tears.

Taliaferro was suspected at once and placed under surveillance, and two days alterwards he was arrested, He was tried soon alterwards, and altnough the ciscumstantial evidence pointed clearly to nim as the perpetrator ol the outrage and murder, the jury upon going out stood eleven for conviction and one ior acquittal; t ey remained locked up for several days and were lischarged in consequence of the sickness of Mr. Sdmue] Busey, who, 1 is stated, was the juror who was for atyuittah SKCOND TRIAL AND CONVICTION. A second trial took place in March last and re- sulted in Taliaierro’s conviction, and his being sentenced to be hanged Friday, July 31, having been the day fixed by the Governor, His ‘counsel had, however, taken an appeal. On the day of the ex- | ecution (he gallows a dy been partly alreai erected), large crowds gathered in i ‘osbyrz to witness the scene, wheh they Were HigHiney tmnt @ stay of proceedings bad arrived two days before, and that the Court of Appeals had postponed the hearing of the appeal ior a year, This exasperated the people very inuch, aud numerous threats were made that they would not await the law's delay. but proceed shemaélves to execute sentence. NO attention Was paid to these threats, however, as It Was not thought at ail likely by the authorities that they would be carried out. TROUBLE BREWING, On 'rhursday, however, during the day clusters of men wore observed on the streets in close and earnest conversation, and at night there was un- usual commotion in the town, but no attention Was paid to it, as it was attributed by those who were not in the plot to a wedding which had been celebrated that evening. THE SIGNAL POR ACTION, Between eleven and twelve o'clock a pistol was discharged on the street near the Post Ufiice, which being unusual aroused a number or per- sons and caused a small gathering of footmen in the vicinity of the jail. Soon after about 100 mounted men charged down several of the streets, converging at the jail and formed in culumn, the Tight resting on West King street. All the street lights in town were then put out, and sentinels placed at the street corners, The jail 1s a two Story brick building situated on the corner of King street and another small street, about a square and @ hal! east of the public square, It fronts on the snail street, and adjoining it on the south is a private residence, which 1s occupied by Deputy Shert’ R. A, Blondel and his family, The Sherif, A. J. Thompson, resides in another part o1 the town, some distance from the jail, and he knew nothing of what was going on until it was too late for him to interfere. THE MOUNTED MASKERS, The mounted men were all masked, some with Yags over their faces, Others with pockethandker- chieis, and still others had their faces blackened, Alter they had formed, one who was recognized as toeir leader, and addressed as Colonel, with dence and aroused him by Knocking. The Deputy was wapted. The reply was that they had a pris- oner jor him, .Mr. Adam Virtue, the turnkey, then arose, and, having procured a light, went down stairs, followed by the Deputy Sheriff with the keys. CAPTURING JAIL AND JAILOR, As they opened the door a crowd of twelve or fifteen men rushed tn, and pistols were pointed at ‘The keys were forcibly taken fro! . Blondel and he was Jorced into his parlor. ‘tne door was held by sev- | eral of the mob, The remainder rushed to tie jail | door, taking the turnkey with them, carrying a light. Having opened this door they immediateiy commenced the search for faltaterro, but were some time before they found his cell. When they got the door opened he was discovered in the furthest corner, with his fands thrown up and mouth open, terrifled and apparently supplicating. BINDING THE PRISONER, He was thrown on the floor and his hands tied behind hig back, his feet being already manacled, He was then dragged irom the jatl and placed in @ no-top buggy, which by that time had been driven up to the door. He was then driven into King street, and the buggy was surrounded by the mounted mep. A number of others had gathered by this time, and as the crowd moved olf down East King street three lond cheers were given. They went down King street, then unaer the ratiroad paeie over Burke street, and out High street to the Williamsport pike, and thence to tne place where the Warm Spring road crosses the Cumberland Valley Railroad, about a mile from the | town, on the farm of a Mr, Rutherford. On the way they visited Mr. Samuel Butler’s farm, witn the intention of hanging him there, put could not find a suitable tree. LYNCHING SCENES, On arriving at the crossing a solitary locust tree which stood in an open lot was selected, and the | buggy Was driven under. No lights were used by | | the masked lynchers. The prisoner was then several times called upon to confess his guilt by persons in the crowd, but, standing up in the buggy, he firmly said, “1 am innocent of this crime, and ail of you will suffer for this on the Day of Judgment.” A minister. who | had been pressed into service by the crowd, asked | Taliaferro u he was prepared to die, but the prisoner, doubtiess thinking he was one of Is willing ‘executioners, refused to gay much to him, only replying he was ready to die. He | was taken from the buggy and piaced on the | ground and given ten minutes to say nis prayers. He knelt down and pray:d earnestly, and, being notiied that his time was up, Submitted to veing | replaced in the buggy. He again declared his in- nocence, and severul voices cried out, “You're a liar!” After this he sald notaing. THE MIDNIGHT EXECUTION, Arope, about the size of an ordinary clothes- | line, had been by this time fastened to a stout | shghtly threw up his head to allow the rope to be adjusted properiy. The horse was then started aud he was dragged over the seat of the buggy and the next instant was dangling in the air, His straggles were not at all violent, though ne died from strangulation, Alter lie had veen pro- nounced extinct the crowd dispersed and two or | three shots were fired. Some few, however, lin- | gered around the piace of execution until the next | morning.

Duiing the month of May of that year the quiet mountaineers of tnis county were startied by the intelugeuce that a murder had been com- mitted in tbls vicimity—a most coid- blooded, deliberate and {oul murder, The victim of this tragedy was a well knowo and es- | teemed young man, a storekeeper by proiession, named Peter D.

Among the witnesses at this trial Was one K. ©, Willams, & )oung lawyer, who testified to some of the threats Busnkirk had made against Morgan. The jury, however, disagreed and his counsel moved tor a change of venue, und had his trial transierred 10 Wayne county, where, aiter several postpunements, it ne vit last March, resulting in another disagreement of the jury. Bushkirk was then reieused on pail and returned here, where he most ov portunely tn- terposed and prevented a great deal o: bivodstied op Tuesday last. The only connection this der has with the atfray of Tuesday tes in the fact that the origin of each was suniar, the results neriy Whe principal characiers figured in both.

Among tne admirers of Mrs. Morgan was RK. ©. Williams, now Prosecuting Attorney of Logan couaty, with Whom she bad on amour of a considerable duration, Williams, 1+ he ‘principal wit- der oF Morgan. The fact of thé intimacy of Wyhlams , with Mrs. Morgan having become a matter of | notoriety, it soon reached the ears of ner brother, Guy Lawson, who became fearfully incensed against Williams, and he resoived to call him to | account jor it. On tuesday morning last Gay Law- son met Williams in the street, or rather road near the Court House.

The writer has accompanied several of these gen- Ulemen on their rounds of visits, and yesterday went with a doctor, weil known on the east side, on his daily tour. Among other places to which a visit Was made was Bone Alley. This wretched district has been described in the ieracp before now as the “nome of the ragpickers.’” ‘the 1oul court yesterday pres:nted little change from its former dingy character. The same specimen groups of poorly clad women were observed about the doorways, the same species of gamin lying about on tue flag- stones of the pavement, Down through the iron gratings the ch(gonters were as usual busy at work over their filthy stores of rags, bones and class and grease, and the same sour-visaged agent Bu. ” little aloof and scowling at the throng.
