Tat apology which Beecher dictated te Moulton was as follows: . . "My dear friend Moulton. I ask, through you, Theodore Tilton's forgiveness, and 1 humble myself before him as I do Vefore God. He would have been a better man in any circumstances than 1 have been. I can ask nothing except that he will remember all the other breasts that would ache. I really wish that I were dead; out others must live to suffer. I will die before any ene but myself shall be iuculpated. All my thoughts are running out toward my friends and toward tbe poor child lying there and praying with her folded hands. She is guiltless, sinned against, betiriaj the transgression of another.
