EditOr Ere71in0 SIR: In your report of
MOultOn's testimony, published yesterday, the
defendant states that he aSSigned all his prop
erty 10 me, before he left the city, for the bane
ut OF his creditors. As many may be miSied
by such a statement in forming correct opin-
ION OF his intentions, and in rightly understand
ing the true inwardneSS of his case | beg the
privilege OF making q true statement OF the
facts III the case. MOultOn left this city OctO-
Der 18th. 1876, between two days or in the
night OF October 18th. unknown to myself or
any OF his other creditors. On the following
Saturday, the Dist, received letter from him
dated at Richmond, Va, enclosing power of
attorney and instructions to sell all his proper
~, real and personal, for the benefit of his
creditors. A deed was handed me two DAYS
after he left, conveying all his property to ME-
signed, blt not dcHnOriedGed, and was cOnse-
quentiy worthless. By examination and ad-
vice OF counsel, concluded to let things take
THEIR course, as the power of attorney was also
found 10 be worthless l also soon aScertainpd
that all his real estate was encountered for
more than IL would sell for. while befo e
the deed or power of attorney reached me his
creditors, the Citizens Bank and Others had
attached all his personal property and real es-
tate. L then decided to shoulder no RESPONSE
Dlllty beyond my own losses, which We're very
large: 1 his statement can be easily verified.
