It is roliablo, becauso it oamo from & member of tho Committeo, Mr, Monlton's statornent is unoxpoctodly brief, making nok moro than five or six foolscap pages, not closely written, Mr. Moulton snya In subatance that all he EXOWS ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY botweon Mr. Boocher sud Mr. Tilton was in- trusted to him in confidence, with all the docu- ments he has boon furnished relating directly or indirectly to the caso, and that thoso docu- ments wero intrusted to bim in_confidenco, Ho says that he has known Mr. Tilton since 1857, and that ho bocame personally acquainted with' Mr, Boacbior in 1869, and mainly through this case. Notwithstanding the fact that ho hog the coneent of both Mr. Boecher and M. Tilton to tell all ho knowa sbout tho case, and to fur. nish all the documenta ho has in rotation to it, and the 'additional fact that ho hins been twice summoped befors tho Committeo, bio says that he cannot In consclence, and as & man of honor, dlecloso any confldences which have boeen place him. Ho came into tho case as a peaco- maker, to sottlo it, and all that ho has dono Las boen done in that direction, Without his knowl- edgo, and agsinst his wishes, certain documenta connected with tho caso have been published, mainly through Mr. Tilton, ond in tho atato- mont made before the Committes. 8o many of tho original documonts aa Lie has copies of, and which have boon mado publio, be feels under obligations to place in_the hauds of the Com- mittao if nocessary. Mr. Moulton TAD HAD COPIES OF ALL THESE DOCUMENTS MADE, and ho handed theso copics to the Committeo, holding himself ready to produce tho originals whon the Committeo desired to verify thom. Boyond shis, Mr. Moulton was not willing to make any atatement, nor did ho feel himself justified in honor or conecionca in producing any documonts, save those quoted by Mr. Tilton in s statomont. Afr. Moulton handed the Committes his state- mont and the copies of tho documents quoted in Mr. Tilton's communieation. Br. Moulton was DRIEFLY CROSS-EXAMINED, and he maintained the same position. Mo roit- erated what appoared in bhis atatement, that if any sttemps was made to assnil bis position 8s o friend of both parties,.or to question his honor, he might be under tho necessity of making fur- ther statement, but for tho presont ho contonted himselt with furnishing tho Committeo exact copios of the documents quoted by Tilton, ok stit I8 IT A COMPROMISE P Bpesial Dispateh to T'he Chicage Tribuns, NEew Yony, Aug. 11.—Thers iy no possibility of obtaining Moulton's statoment for publication to-night. Ho and Winslow, of tho Committeo, aro alone authorized to make it publio, snd both havo rofused to do €0 for anothor day. - This much positive and truthful I baye learncd about it from corroborative sources. Monlton'a first purposo, as you kuow, was to avoid makicg any statoment or publishing any doonments, and lionce his trip to the East, This silonco was by advico of Gen. Butler, with whom Moniton ppont his timo when Kast. - Forced by tho Dbeliof that tho Committoo moant tosevorely cross- examine him upon side issues, ho propared o Jong statomont iu which Lio gavo not only tho Jottors from wbich Tilton quoted, bu all kis correspondence with Boechor. They wore struug upon a throad of sliliful parrative, not only ex- planatory of tho lottors, but dotailing - BOENES AND INOIDENTS OF TIE UTMOST INTEREST, This varrative was undoubtedly caleuluted lo damage Begchor, It added many new points to tho case, In fact, it was a clean unloading of Moulton's entire budget, He was exaspernted st Baecher when he wrote 14, and was undor tho advice of Tilton and I lawyer, Marris, who, bxlum ‘way, 1o also 8 lefi:fl adviser of Moul- ton. This utatemont would have been a thun- dorbolt Indeo ark of tho unpublished utlor came ‘;)’“ tho scena again on Baturday lagt, and foulton's statemont was anbmittod to bim on Sunday. He sdvised its supprossion for the presont; urged that Jt was advisablo to koop something In . roservo, and Boulton wag thus induced not to give himself outirely away. The shorter statomont waa finally propared. It is based on the Committoe's roquest for tho originals of the quoted Iottors, and not on Boscher'’s irritable demaud for oll paperaand facts in Moultou’s kuowledge, A far a8 tha original matter {s concornod, It alnply recounts how tho mutual friond was DIAGOED INTO TILE YOHITION OF CONFIDANT for all parties. Tho letters submitted aro thoso anly from which Tilton made excerpte. Moullon atated to tho Committee that thevo wero 81l thoy aaked for or were entitled to. All othors were lettors to bim, which he would not surrender or ninke publio st tho request of erfher Yilton or Boecher, or both, and the Comuwittea bosidos. “This louved Moulton fn the attituda of having satisfied prosent demands, and still retaining ovideuca which I8 J:ouulnrly supposod t0_bo worse than any made public, and which only a court of law can draw from him, DEECUEL LIAS NOW to make his defenso, after oll, beforo knowing ‘what Moulton will testify to, Moulton peramp- torily refusod to bo cross-oxamiued, having tho knowladen. as ha asid. thet tha (ammittas maant but it {s to romain atory of this affair. demands of Docchor ond the Commit- tos, Moulton roturned, and wundor ad-’ vico of Tilton and Morris, and the L sa paatar, st to fosult him, 1o had rando no statements of hiy own knowledge, aud refused to Lo drawn mto making sny.
