THE RESULTS,
Now, two things result from That letter First,
that Ii ala not originate from tie arbitration and
the award and.second, that there was no request
or demand or lntimation, that IL was the duty or
Mr.. Moulton 10 burn all the papers. IL was CON
nned to tho letter OF apology tue so called ''letter
Mr. Storrs when he repeated the Conversation
mat Mr.. MOult0n attributed the request TO burn
ing the papers OF MI. Wilkeson, arising out OF the
tripartite covenant he Of course was somewhat
COMPOUNDED, and II Is perfectly evident gentle
men, that Mr. Stoirs. IN the relation OF TINS cou-
sverSatlon, was wholly mistaken IN the aliuslon
which was MADE by Mr.. Mouton 10 the papers.
You VIII remember the lessons which our learned
nature OF evidence as 60 Conversations and comics
sions. My friend, Mr.. Porter, renders very able,
In every word OF which / aeree-lt Is one OF the
most difficuit Efforts OF human memory 70 recall
hazardous species Of evidence, TO be scrutinlzed
and criticised and taken with proper degrees OF
allowance and am quite content that tnat rule
OF law should he applied TO the evidence on the
part or the plaintiff, ana insist mat the same
application should be made OF II 10 the evidence
the part or the defence.
When counsel sald il was one or the most din.
cult things TOR the human memory 70 recall and
give precise recital OF a conversation long past
the Beecher peogss smiled nj the admission and
remembered Tor moment Mrs. Moulton's oele-
brated interview with Beecher, which she ap
peared 10 give word FOR word two years after its
occurrence. II Is u noticeable feature Of the case
that on the side OF the defence any trinIng straw
Is grasped at TO save from drowning.
MoUIroN AND THE BHEcHER LETTERS.
Another thing II obvious from this le tier, that
there was mo- assertion on the part OF Mr.. Nllke-
son. There never has been pretence made, 50
far as this evidence Is concerned. OF any demand
suggestion TO Mr.. TlIten or Mr.. Moulton that
the papers or any papers connected with this
transaction were 10 be burned, founded upon any
tdea either OF an expressed agreement TO 90 IL or
any obligation arising out OF any proceedings be-
nad Just completed that act OF amnesty anu con-
Citation. the triPartite covenant. Then ne ap-
peals to Moulton or 1iiton through Mouiton, as an
act OF ciemency and OF duty under the eircum-
stances, 10 burn the apology and nothing else.

exuberance OF friendly feeling which controlled
and followed the trtpartite covenant Triton and
Moulton had said that they would burn all the pa
