course taken by 'rilton in se!f.detence.
Mr.. Moulton finds it necessary to re.
cur to the beginning of the contro-
versy, the whole difficulty having
originated in IL difference between
Henry O. Bowen aud rilton. He
gives q history OF riltou's serious COM

step traces the progress OF the breach
between them. leading up to the final
complication between 'rilton and
Beeoher, out OF which grew the tri-
partite covenant. Monlton makes in.

Mr.. Moulton before the committee. It
