lion Of Mr.. Tilton's sworn statement,
Mr.. Mou''7n consulted three well known
LAWYERS IA S.w York, Cen. Butler, and
two noted civil lawyers. Their uuited
advice was tnat he Should Keep Ills mouth

case appeared 10 the Q0arls. lie has
NOT REFLlED roMn. pEEcHER's REQUEST,
asking him for tnU documents which he
holds, and his silence Is construed into
refusal TO give them up.
/ Mr.. TiltUn says that in the propara'
tion of his own statement Moullon re-
fused to allow him to see the documents,
and tina, the letters had to be written out
from Photographic notes. lie docs not
think that Mr.. Moulton would show
more favor to Mf. Bsecher. MOulton Is
missed In the Faust Club rooms, where
he Is often greeted by The editors, authors,
actors and artists.

they have been greatly delayed In walt
ing for Moulton and propose 10 wait no
longer.
