scribes Bowen's last statement as filthy
and partly hearsay and doubt and partly
direct incompetent evidence of nothing
in particular except with the help OF
Bowen's Interpretation, will compel
Plymouth Church to CHOOSE quickly te-
tween pastor and Oldest members. 1t
has now come to be that Mrs. Iliton
brother affirms her guilt, If Bowen
speaks truly, and Bowen affirming his
knowledge of Beecher's guilt, while at
the yery same time summoning him for
spiritual consolation to the bedside OF
his own dying wife.
The Tribune says Bowen is ridiculous.
He offers to show Plymouth Church
he had reasons for believing Beecher
puilty but refuses to put them in form
to be met. He declares he received
confessions of various women OF guilt
With Beecher but the confessions were
under the most solemn obligation of
secrecy which a man can incur. But
he said he will violate that obligation
lust little and will give the names to
a committee of three. The Church re-
ouired that any woman whom he might
accuse of sin should be allowed to come
before the committee either in person
or by representative. Bowen refused
this condition. The Church then re-
jected the proposition altogether.
Bowen insists that no woman whom he
duplicates shall have the privilege of
Of confronting and contradicting him.
He will destroy them but must do it in
the dark. He will not face the victims
Of outrage.
