his SOD, Henry T. Bowen. who eaid tuat thoy
wished tho responsibility Of making tho state-
uent publin 10 tost with Mi. Deocbtr and ths
Examining Committee, aud shon added, 1--WE
want TO get as much responsibility Oil them aa
possible" In reply to what had been
said by mombers Of tho Committee as to
tho contonts Of the htatsment, ho asssrsed
that IL contained references to confoeaions made
personally to hia father. and which royo tho
stroaRout possible proofs OF bIr. Doecnes'a
guilt. II these roferoncoa' wero not true, he
asked: would the Committee have been so onEer
to gan further knowledge as to lock tho door
upon him Tho ntalonont consisted Of tbs
gsuasel lasts iu Tho case. which was all tho
Committee aaaod for. and TINT IL wsn not under
stood that they required names. dates, and al
detai14. sucll q course, ho said. would pulAiolY
gested ! method by which tho names and dates
could DO obtainod. lilo did not feel
definitely in, regard to tho paper.
lmpar.ia, ono. from the fact that among the
nins members worc Horny Ward 15eechor. Dr..
Edward X. Dcechor. Assstan. Pastor Halliday,
Mr.. Shearnat,. aud Mr.. Cleveland, all Of whom
had proclaimed their bolief In tho innocence of
Mr. beceter aod the Euilt Of ME: poweu. He
wished to add that bis father would hold Mo,.rs.
White md eLoatmkn personally responsible for
giving to tho reporters Of tho press ono cortaiu
name as being in tho liHt of AFR. Deecheta VIC
tims ue conoldered tlsls a most ,Hexcnsablo
outrage. This nhmo was Mr. Douen's Hrss
wife.
Ir Bcecher, when appealed 10 for any roasons
for withholding tho statement from tio public,
auswetod tLat ho know Of no1p whatever. Fur
his OWL sake. he would be Il nd to tays It pub
llshod, Ii 1t would show to tho world how empty
Mr. DoWon's charges ngaiust him We1o. He
kuew Of nothing that could do 6rcater harm to
Mr. Dovou's cause. Then ho suddenly checked
hssnso1t and added, "i.h laugh, II don't kn,w
but TINT sounds like malicious rotnArk." Hc
thought tho stnsoment uuIit to Le road before
the Church, and SAID that hfr. Bowen might at
any ttnlo be expelled On other chnrges, and that
o ulombcr OF tito Council had sAifl to him that
II hlr. Bow ca Hns expelled on tho chhrga 1T ho-
ing Infamous in tbs sight OF God aud ulnn, fow
would condemn its action,
Other mombern Of tho Executive Committee
said that the ambiguous and eyasivo language Of
3Ir. DoHen'A statement Ieft blE. Doechar no room
for dlHptoviug tho charges contalmtd tn it. For
that reason tueY did mt feel bound to koep tho
statomGut private and Waro uQwlllln9 to take
the responsibility OF publishing It. only on tho
groyad that they dld not W1ah to aid Mr. Dow0n
cant parsun4. In oartAin cbAsgeh against Mr.
Deccher, reference Nas mado to aouo polson ua-
nan,od, supposed by many to bo nlombor Of
tts family. II this eirpotition VAS correct.
t4ots would nacd to DO no hesitation about pub
iiAbing the statement; but fear ths4 Mr. low
On might bo attacking some other person under
tho cover OF tus ambiguous language, mads csu-
tiun necessary.
