agreement WAS nignod by Bowen and 1iton,
Doccler signing tsnbscqicntEy. The inducing
| cause to this arbitration Waa tho fact that
Tilton had commenced suit against Dowou, aud
prepared al, article for tho Golden Ago III which
he embodied his lettor 10 bowen aud htatcmcnt
Of tho circumstances. 1Io submitted that nrtiolo
to me, aud begged him to withhold It from
publication. 7 also brought Doceher aud Tllton

staAED THE t4TR1rAnr1TE COVENANT"
| which waa drawn up, M understood, by Sainuol
Wtlkeaon. Il was first signed by Dowon. In tho
form i'll which 1t WAS first drawn It bound The
1else committod by l,ecchor, and fully oxoncrat'
cd him therorrom. After Dowcu bad signed 1t,
1t wna handed to Iilton TO eisn. and hc
refused; lie was willing to sign an ngree-
mont noycr to repeat aga,o Tho charges oi
Bowen snyins that. i fer no. other reason,
II tho mattor should thereafter eyor come
to light, IL would appear That there had hcou
something between Dcocher md Mrs. Tilton,
and it might be used as ovldouce to the injury OF
hEtnsclf mud family, aa well as OF Descher, aud.
therefore, 1t was not for tho interest OF eithol
I'ilton or Doecler to sign 1t 10 tho form first
proposed. No copy OF that trtpartito covenant
