a 1954 New Yorker article (!) lays out much of the juicy detail, including appearances by itinerant psychics, feuding members of the suffrage movement, and the phrase "Mrs. Woodhull delivered her first blow at a spiritualists’ convention in Boston."https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1954/06/12/the-beecher-tilton-case-ii …

As best i can tell, the original essay in which Mrs. Woodhull laid out her case (thus prompting Mr. Tilton to sue Beecher) does not exist online. But it was, let's say, WIDELY read. It does not, however, appeared to have slowed Beecher's affections.pic.twitter.com/0UB2NCPfxA

this last screenshot, and my last plea to you to go read the whole thing, is to say the '54 new yorker article ALSO INCLUDES TESTIMONY of the trail, the official Brooklyn Scandal. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1954/06/12/the-beecher-tilton-case-ii …pic.twitter.com/XAjwSmG3pm
