pretty close to the questions which asked?
Mr. Evarts-No doubt. We will be as brief az possible ;
when he answers covering that, have right what
words he used.
Mr. FulertonYour Honor will perceive that in giving
the conversation between the witness and Mr. Mouon
which Mr.. Mouon willing to give himself but did not
give, they will claim "Why he is contradctcd" when it Is
no contradiction at ALL

in maknga statement 10 that efIcctt
Mr. Fulerton-No Sir because co7Sq but that II Mr.
Mouon had been permitted give the conversation he would
have related IL the witness will relate IT, and probably in the

tice TO Mr.. Moulton; don't any objection TO that
