In relation 10 his connection with Brown, Mr..
Giddings said he invited him 10 Jeferson
County Ohio, where he delivered a lecture ons
Sunday, after church, telling his trials In Ksns

the audience to contribute relief to Brown.
Anerward Brown took tea at his rssideccs,
where they had q conversation. Though Brown
never said be intended to Welt the Slave States 70 FREQ
slaves, Mr. Giddings Inferred be would If opportcnity
oJered mainly from his having done go 10 Missoexs.
Thete were the only times MIR. Gidiings saw Brown,
