Address PIAN(>T, Mr. Moulton accompanied his dangtter in-law to the witness’ chair and handed her up with the venderest respect. Mrs. Moulton was dressed ina dark silk, an em- % broildered back sacque, covered with loose lace‘ ; &nd a bodice of irilled white linen below. She | had a muff, a small ruffed collar, lace sleeves and gray kids, A gold chain was around her neck. She wore a very pretty silk hat, of a dark purple or violet brown, with a jeather of the same tint and a velvet bandof adarker hue. Her eardrops were solia gold, a monogram within their rim. This description should convey an idea of elab- orateness of toilet; it is only because of the enumeration of the articles. Mrs, Moulton’s dress was the street toilet of a lady of the day, the col- ors adapted to ner figure und complexion, She ts an agile and chirpy little woman, who addresses her husband as “father,” and eschews all literary pretension. She weighs about 120 pounds, nas small and pretty features, grace and geatieness, and is the only bouquet yet seen in court which could look pretty tn sach a@ place, She appeared to have soft blue or fawn eyes, with long lids and lashes; a somewhat small nose, light brown hair, @ forehead of the middle size, a little rippled with the wrinkles of sensibility. Her chin was very delicate, the throat and She fanned herself with a dark red fan, and did not at any time remove her gloves. While testifying she was at first fluttered; her throat moved and the Clerk of the Court gave her @ glass of water. But, applying her mind directly to the subject in hand, she presently gave a strain of testimony spontaneous and clear, if timid, as the song of abird. It was merely evidence with a lady bebind it—not tne lady advanced before the evidence. In short, she did not insensibly char- acterize herself. HER REVELATIONS. Her auditors saw under her story the sibyl speaking in the song of the bird, the small lips unsealing upon words whose meaning might have been accentuated in thunder, and the sympathies of dispassionate people ran from this tangle of intrigue and secrecy to the story. ‘That strange secret, whispered to her, made her its servitor. That terrible husband, tortured with his doubts or his revenge, was following up her frank and joyous husband, his schoolmate, as Steerforth pursoed David Copperficld with his friendship—as Abel Newt was the shadow of Hope Wayne. And that great tower of reputation on Brooklyn Heights, near by, she knew tu be under- mined, and the matertals to biow it up were in her new and elegant home, and she—terrible the thought—was made, by the confidence of the principals, an ingredient of the mine. Such was the impression conveyed by her testi- Mony. However unflinciungly she gave it the all- embracing dimensions of such an offence as alleged were faintly revealed, as her evidence seemed to lift the hortzon. One small secret, en- tering a household like a friend, carried devasta- tion with it. There isa legend that whoever dis covered the secret paternity of the prisoner in the “Tron Mask” had to share his captivity. So it has seemed with this secret crime or delusion, which- ever it may be, in Brooklyn. it has gone about like @ secret contagion, touching people and Plaguing them forever aiterward, HER MANNER. Mrs, Moulton’s manner had a refinement so un- Usual In the witness chair that she receivea the Unconscious consideration of the cross-examin- ing lawyer, Her voice was sweet and spirited, without any touch of infection, so thatit was pleasant to hear and in no degree qualified her meanng. Ste therefore kept up the equal character of a dis- Passionate witness, obeying the law, sorry to tes- tify, but mot weakening in any nataral faculty under the responsiotlity. For a lady in delicate health, of rather small and supple physique and of gentle temperament and sensibility, this little woman made a witness as perfect of her kind as Frank Moulton, He was, howevor, a real plaints witness, positive, alleg- ing, relating and resolved to get the testimony in. Murs. Moulton was merely an assenting witn the saddened performer of a duty, else gladly abandoned, bat noless conscientious, according to her power, to do it fully. She had been the subject of a thousand newspa- per paragraphs, many of them deprecating her appearance at all, Sne had been represented as flying, suffering, antagonizing, and threatening divorce from her husband rather than appear. Few people had seen her; for she has none of Frank Moulton’s weakness for literary people. Her testimony was, tnerefure, the more re- Markabie, as it was copious without being de- sirous; intelligent in light and shade, yet without art. She often let the lawyer appear to make a point rather than expiain herself, She never sought to run in any testimony. Disentangled from all the coterie of woman's suffrage people, the aadience saw a house- hold, orthodgx womal ho might pave passed “Lt Mr. Tilton publishes my letter of apology it is useless Jor me to try to keep this quiet any longer or vo try tolive this down; I never betleved in Theodore; I always considered him faithlesa— faithless man; he seems to lose sight of the fact that he will sacrifice his wife if that letter is pub- lished and I might as well end my ilfe as to try to live it downy? PLAIN ADVICE GIVEN. I said, “Mr. Beecher, there is something better for you to do thao that; go down to your church and confess your crime, and they will torgive you;’’ he said, ‘No, I cannot do \t—for the sake of the woman who has given me her love, tor the Sake of iny family, for the sake of my church, for my influence throughout the worid, 1 can never do it—I will die before 1 will confess it;” I said, “Mr. Beecher, sooner or later ’ the truth in this case will come out, and you had much better take your case ito your own hand, and give to your churcha confession; I am sure they would iorgive you;” he said, “No, that cannot do; my children will despise me; I cannot go back to my home, and my churcen would not jorgive me; there would be nothing left for me to ao; my work wouia be finished; it would be better for me to go oat of Ife than to remain longer in 1t;” I said, ‘You might go back to your farm and write;”’ he said, “If they won’t hear me preach they won't listen to anything I write;’ he said, “My position 18 that of a moral teacher, which | coula no longer hold; Ihave resolved ¢o take my ie first; Lhave a powder at home on my library tabie which I have resolved to take; “{ HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR: I have prayed for death as a happy release; I feel that if 1 publish a card in the £agle it would only be a temporary release; Mr. ‘ilton is likely to break out at any time; Iam unable physically or mentaily to bear this strain;'’ he said, ‘1 shall probably never come and see you again; I felt very badly; 1 asked him to go down to the church; I said, “Mr. Moulton will stand by you, but the only way for you to do is to tell the truth ;” he said he Would come and see me on the day following, that lie had some litle gifts and mementoes for different people, something he wanted me to bear to Elizabeth and something for different ones, and he Would come on the aay following to sec me; along in June Mr. Beecher was very much excited; he told me, witn tears streaming down his face, that he had suffered the tortures of the damued; that he had to go home and wear a cheerful smile; that the slightest {ndaicauon of weakness was a confession of guilt on his part; he said 1 was tue ouly person to whom he could un- burden his whole heart; this interview lasted three or four bours; he lett near the hour of lanch; when I saw him afterward he said he felt very muci depressed, but 1elt more hopeiul; he spoke of Mrs, Tilton. BEECHER’S LOVE FOR MRS. TILTON. He nearly always spoke to me of Elizabeth and his great love for her; he wanted me to respect her and have regard for her—to go and see her and try to comiort her and console her, and see if there was anything that 1 could do Jor her; that I was 4 woman Woo knew what @ woman needed most; I carried wessayes irom him io Mrs. Tilton; Irepeated to Mr. Beecher a conversation I had with Mrs. Tilton, in woich she said she felt a great deal more sympathy for him than for herself, und chided me because I had lost my taitu in Mr. Beecher; she begged me to go back to the church, and velleve tn Mr. Beecher; [ said, “Elizabeth, how can you ask me to go back to the church and take communion from his hands Knowing what I do of his iife;’’ she said, “1 want you to believe in him, Lam the one to blame, I Invited him;” I said, “i might hear Mr. Beecher preach and perhaps derive benefit from his ser- mons, but J could not go back with the same faith 1 had had in tim, as he had fallen.” “SACRIFICE MY HUSBAND.?? In a turther conversation I had with Mrs. Tilton Isaid, “If you are cated before the church what are you going to do to save Mr. Beecher?” she said, “[ shail sacrifice my husband ana deny every- thing;’’ I said, iil you let your husband go down *” she said, “I think for the sake of his in- fluence in tne world—or my own position—for my cnildren’s sake—I think it is my duty;’ I re- ported this to Mr, Beecher; he said, “Poor chila, she 18 trying to repair the wrong she has done in confessing her sin, but it ig too tate;” he said also was very cruel that Elizabeth should confess atvall; be could not understand it; that she should not’ have al- Jowed him to visit at her house without telling him she had coniessed to her husband, and he urged me to attend church; I told him how much 1 missed his church; that 1 had been @ member of his cuurcu ana believed in him, and it was very hard; but, owing to what! had peara of him, [ could not go back With the same feeling; he said it 1 knew what @ comiort it was to him to see my face in the congregation [ would certainly come. PITED BY E&XPERIENCE. He said that he had repented, and was better fitted by the ordeal he had gone through thy ever before in his life to do great good; | satd, “1 do not understand how you can stand up in your pulpit and preach to young men ittaed the sin Ol adultery when Psd Nave been guilty &fit;”? he said, “Having suffered what | fave am better fitted than ever betore to do good.” ELIZABRTH WOULD TALK. He spoke about Klizavetn’s tendency to talk over the matter; he said that Klizabeth was con- tinually making mistakes; that she meant weil, but had not judgment or discretion; tuat she al- lowed every one to talk to her about it; he asked me to speak to Elizabeih and ask her not to speak about it to any one; that she was always talking about it to everybody; he sent her @ message tell- ing her that she must not speak about it and must try to live with her husband; she told me that it Was impossibie for her to live with him, as he was continually bringing up her sin against her, COULD NOT LIVE WITH THEODORE, She said she could not live with her husband any longer; she would leave him; he id she must try to live witn him, m make his home at- tractive; she had much more to suffer than had the church and the tamiiy; her sufferings were notso much compared with his; she must not leave Theodore; her reasons for desiring to leave were that Mr. Tiiton was always reierring to the sin she committed, and would not permit her to lead a better life with nim, A TRANQUIL NOTE. Q. State whether you ever saw that paper (handing witness ihe paper) before? A. Yes, sir. Q. From whom did.you receive it? A. From Mr. Beecher. Mr. Fullerton—I propose to read it in evidence. My Desa Mas, Movuton~Don't awake Frank; give arded Theodore a3 a faithless man; he felt that e had not mucn to hope for; “but now f have made up my mind to lot them go on and do their worst; they cannot convict;” alter that conver- sation with Mr. Moulton in the front room, and alter Saying good by to us, he came back, took My hand in nis and said, “You are the best friend that i have in this worid; you are dearer to me than any sister | nave, for you, Knowing all the truth, and knowing that | am guilty, still stand by me, Whiie they believe | am innocent.” MR. BEKCHER'S REMOKSR. Mr. Fullerton—What did he say as an evidence of remorse? A, That he had brought so much trouble and sorrow both to himsell and Elizabeth and to the househola, and J said:—“l think ‘woman Is a8 Much to blame as a man; she was the mother of five or six chiidren, and it does not seem possible that she could bave done what sh has done without kuowing fully what she was doing, and 1s certainly as much ‘to blame as you are ;"’ he said:—*“No, she wasn’t to blame; it ts my fault aes aii the responsibility and all the blame myse Yeu WHY DID HE CONFIDE IN MOULTON ? Mr. Fullerton—What did you tell Mr. Beecher of the conversation you had with Mr, Robinson ? witness—I told Mr. Beecher that Mr. George Robinson iad spoken to me of his frequent visits to the office to see Mr. Moulton; be thought it was very strange that he (Mr. Beecher) should select Mr. Moulton, not a church man—that Mr. Beecher, the leading minister, of cours & host of friends, and it was strange that ne should come to the office and sit aud wait for hours to see Mr. Moulton; he couldn’t understand it, bat he realized that there must be some great trouble, but he didn’t quite understand what it was; he (Mr. Beecher) Knew his brother, Jeremiah Robinson,and also Knew Franklin Woodruff; and Mr. G oreo Rooinson feit 1 ought to tell him what was the trouble; that he was a leading man of Plymouth courch, had been a deacon there and waa still attending Mr. Beecher’s cnurch and meeting him constantly; it was rather embarrassing for him, and he felt perhaps it might be for Mr. Beecher, and he would like to know the trutn; he said he had someumes felt that perhaps Mr. Beecher had appropriated church money or been gulity of theft, or something of that sort; he realized 1 g crime he had committed; I said, “No, it is not that; he has been guilty of adultery with Mrs. Tilton;” he “Weil, 1 can hardly believe it; it doesn’t seem possibie that the mani nave velieved for years, under whose preaching I have sat for so many years, Who has preached against that very sin—£ cau’t believe it is possible that he 18 guilty;” and Tsaid, “Lam very sorry to tell you that he 1s; he said, ‘‘How do you know?” I said, *#rom the con- jessions of both parties, both Mr. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton themselves, to me; | then told Mr. Beecher that 1 had told Mr. Robinson, and feared that Mr. Meecher might be embarrassed and it might be easier for him to talk, Mr. Robinson knowing the truth—that he frequently met bim in the office and sometimes at our house.
