Show WHICH H HECHES PIT CP. Were your things taken when arretted? ar-retted? . Whv, sir, the officers emptied the contents of our trunks into tho street . and carried Uiem ofl". They left us of our clothing only the dresses we went to Ludlow street jail in. Previous to the publication were you on friendly terms with Beecher, Tdton and Moulton'.'. We were excellent friends. They were frequently nt my house, aud I was veiv often at Mr. Moul ton's. Mr. Beecher, Mr. Tiliou and myself often diued at Moulton's, and Frank's bit.gtndy wine was the subjact of many a joke with us. It was very superior, and Mr. Beecher never let his g'.as.i go dry. One day at dinner one ofusacktd I him how ho could drink wine and go out as he proposed to that evening and deliver a temperance lecture. 1 He replied: "The inner man dines aud drinks the wine; it is the outer man that will apeak to the temperance temper-ance people." Mr. Til ion was then happy with hia wife? Yes. Theodore had thoroughly condoned his wife's fault, and had told Mr. Beecher if he loved her it was all right. The hist time I saw Tilton at Murray hill he came in saying: say-ing: "I'm ten feet taller than ever beiore." I asked him what he done. He eaid that when going home from my house the evening previous lie met Mr. Beechor on the boat, and walking up to him said, " You have nothing to fear from me," and then he described how he saw Mr. Beecher safely home. What is your opinion of Tilton? I think it he lives to grow up he will make quite a man yet. He has been the idol of too many frivolous women to be much of a man now. There was a time when I thought Theodore would be the hero of this social movement. He gave promise of ability to do it. It was under his inspiration that the VICTORIA LKAOUK was started, which was a secret organization, or-ganization, having iu view the inauguration inaug-uration of a combined social and political movement, and the first breach that occurred between us was just, before Mr. Greeley waB nominated nomi-nated by tho Cincinnati convention, I believe he was promised some high office by Mr. Greeley in case of his election, and he broke with me and the organization to assist his old friend. When, in my office, he informed in-formed me of his determination, I said to him, ' Theodore, don't you do it. I see Horace Greeley's coffin passing right round by you, and you are putting a nail in it. Mr. Greoloy will never go to the presidential chair, but to his grave." From that moment mo-ment to this Tilton has been at sea. But previous to all this he had peddled ped-dled round everywhere the story of his hearthstone. When this trial is ended I Bhall sum up the case and tell the whole Btory, and spare none ot the parlies involved. I have, perhaps, per-haps, said all I care to now, but, mark you, the half has never been told. I ought to add that the object in stripping my house waa to get at Beecher a correspondence with me. It was not found. It was in the safe of a prominent gentleman gen-tleman in New York, but it may soon be given to the world. Neither Beecher nor Tilton wants me as a witness, for they know that I should be a two-edged sword. Washington National Jtepublican. TO THE PROTESTANT ILEKUV OF AllKitK A.
