Following is a re-1 port of the latest interview with Til-: io,,: .' I porter- W hat is the tituation, ! Mr. Tilton? Mr. Tilton I have no! douht of my complete vindication. Will it come through the courts? I can only say that the public will be convinced that I told tiod's Bolomn iruih in my sworn statement. Is General Butler familiar with the points of the statement which Moulton Moul-ton has prepared? He- is, I believe, perfectly familiar with tho lengthy mid detailed statement which Mr. Moulton prepared but did not pre-' Bent. Has Butler baid anything to you concerning that statement? He has. He said that Moultou's statement would kill Henry Ward Beecher. He said it was simply damning. Is Moulton guided by the advice of General Butler? They have hud frequent fre-quent consultations. I have not made a single suggestion to Frank Moulton in regard to his statement, hnl I know what Moulton knows, and lean simply repeat what I said to you ye.-ienlay. Frank Moulton will confirm my store, for be will tell the truth. Has District-Attorney Winslow seen the originals of the letters frra which you quoted? He has. lie has made a full -and thorough eom-uniison. eom-uniison. It has been charged that I garbled those letters. If 1 had done any such thing I should certainly huvo held myself up to- the ecorn and conlempt of the public. Alter Mr. Winslow had in-Miecled in-Miecled LholettoT To." . room where 1 was. I Eaid: John, did I garble those letters.'" He replied, re-plied, speaking slowly, and with 6.od emphasis, " Why did Mr, Beesher write those loiters?" Will Moulton give the detailed statement to the public? You know just as much about that as I do. Butler, I think, had advised Moulton not to give his proofs to the world unless un-less they are wrung out of him. Now, Winslow knows much of the case, and we can afford to wait developments. develop-ments. I repeat that I have told the truth in my sworn staleraent. J have been maligned terribly; all sors of crimes have been laid at my door; but not a word of explanation or defense de-fense have you heard from the other side. Now, I can afford to take all this abuse, for I know, that I 'am right, and I know that I can prove it. . . i Judge Morris, your counsel, says you have not fired your biggest gun yet. Is that true? tl hope to settle , the case without being obliged to produce any more evidence Then you have more evidence in reserve? I have. ' . ; ". Y'ou have 'heard the rumors to tho effect that a compromise Las been agreed upon. What have you to say on that? When Lb? pavin-?tones blossom into roses then I will compromise com-promise this case. |
