His suswers wore given in m norvous manoer, and his voice waa thin and lLard, and sometimea it trembled. He moved about wearily in his ohair, and soveral migutos passed beforo he ap- poared to obtain perfect command of himaself, Then he settled back into & comforeable position, snd apswerod the questions put to him quietly and with much daliberation. THN EXAMINATION OF BOWEX wae eonducted by Mr. Fullerton, The lawyer's flrat queation was in roference to tho interviow betwean Mr, Bowen aud Mr. Beecher at Mr, Freeland's hioues, in December, 1870, Thia Mr. Bowen sald was an appointed mooting and not & casual one, aa Mr, Boocher bad atated.

Mr. Bowen denied that Mr. Beschor had handed Lira the lotter, and that he bad read it, TUE THIPARTITR COVENANT was another priucipal subject of inquiry. Mr, Dowen teatifled that that covonant had no eon- neotion whatever with his paymont of 7,000 to Jar, Tilton ; also that'thore was no coonaction between tLe covonant and the arbitration which lod to the paymont of $7,000, Nothing was 8ald whon tho award was tade sbout the difi- ouity between Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton, Mr. Bowsn gave s brief history of what he kneow about the tripartite agroemont.
