into the case peacemaker to settle it, and
all he has done has been dOue in. that di-
reetion. Without his knowledge and
against his wishes. certain documents in
the case have been published mainly
through Dir. TiIon, and hl the statement
made before tlie committee. So many of
the original documents as he has copies Of
and which have been made public, he feels
under obligations TO place in the
hahds Of the committee if neces-
Sary. Mr.. MOultOn had had copies
OF all these documents made, and he
handed these documents TO the committee,
holding himself ready 70 produce the origi-
nails when the committee desired to verify
them. Beyond this Mr.. MoultOn is not
willing TO make any statement, nor did he
feel himself justified in honor or conscience
IA producing documents save those quoted
by Ar. TiltOn in his statement.
MIR. MoultOn handed the committee a
copy OF his statement and copies Of the let
ters quoted in Mr.. Tilton's communication.
Dir. MOultOn was briefly examined, and he
maintained the same position. He reite-
rated what appeared in his statement,
that if any attempt was made
10 assail his position as a friend
oi both parties on question his honor, he
might be under the necessity of making a
further statement, but for the present, he
eontented himself with furnishing the com
mlttee the exact documents used by Til
ton.
