J Tne Brooklyn Eagle publishes an interview with Henry 0. Bowen, ol which the following is au extract: The reporter asked Bowen how he explained tiie fact that plaintiff's lawyers in the or ss-examination of . uieuibers of tbe -committee, did not i ask client if they saw the euhniWion i sigiici.1 by Bowen and Ttlton? Bowen 1 replied: Ibey ditl not know of, its , ' existence. On tho night of the aibi- 1 tratiou a triend came to me, i will tell you woo it was, ritorrs, and he said lo tm1, Bowen, they are laying a trap for you down there. I sutd, iu what way? 1 He answered, Why, they are going to bring in Tiltuu's charges ol seduction j again.- Beeclier, and nil other dilli- 1 cullies between them, and are to : make thein part of your settlement, j They want to havo them settled at the , same time. I answered that they would not draw me into that trap il I hud iiny sense about me. So I went there and the submission was drawn up, which stipulated that tho business difheullies between Tilton and myself were only to be considered. It was laid on the table, and after the arbitration was over I put it with the two cancelled contracts into my pocket and locked them up iu my sate and iorgot all about having the submission. Tilton forgot it, Muulton forgot it, and their counsel didn t know anything about it. Til ton's lawyers came to me seven or eight times to try and get mt to m .ike some statement of what I would testify to. I said I wouldn't say one word until und'r oath and on the stand. When I got there Puller-ion Puller-ion stood up trembling and put the question to produce all the papers in my possession relating to the case, ui.d 1 did so, and when they saw the submission Tilton, Moulcon and Tilton's lawyers were delighted, while Beeeher's side was thunderstruck. Now I haven't spoken one word to Tilton since that arbitration, and members of the committle testily that they don't remember such a paper. Well, there is the writing of it in JIoul ton's big scrawling stylo, with Tilton's signature and three good, substantial and living witnesses to the truth of my statement. What more is wanted? |
