Up lb December, 1870, there had never

This caused applansa from the andienco,

he proceeded to talk about Tilton. Said he
had dismissed Tilton from the editorship of
the Inttcpenrlmt to that of contributor, on ac
count ot business rojsons, as Tlllon's views
did not scree with those of tho papor. That
wbon he had dismissed him, stories worn told
him about Tilton, One was wlih regard to a

woman in tho office to whom he had made
Improper advances. I told him I was not
surprised, aud told him what Bessie Turner
bad told me, and also said there was another
womanwith whom rumor connected him.
On the evening of the 6'b of December,
Moulton came to witness' house and said Til
