they have been resofted to, and are also
destructive Of the individual freedom oi

ave believe that labor organisation

BosToN. March IL.
The announcement that Rev. w. w.
Downs would disclose startling facts to prove
gigantic conspiracy against himself, failed
to crowd Music Hall tonight, although fair
audience was present In opening, Downs
claimed that the Post and its reporter, ,Dillen-
bach, were in league with the district attor-
ney's office in attempting to crush him. He
spoke of the charge against him of being at
hotel in North Manchester, Conn.,, in 1888,
with Mrs. Taber, and read affidavits from
persons connected with the hotel and com
munications from the woman herself to show
that the lady was not Mrs. Taber: that it was
a young lady parishoner of his in Boston who
had been injured by fall, been carried to
the hotel from the train and who had sent for
him as he was her friend and pastor. He
went down Friday and returned Saturday.
The lady is now married and living pleasant
ly in Illinois, and Downs added. ''d-.n the
man who would now seek to destroy her
home" Referring to the charge of adultery
with Mrs. Taber, Downs said he had such
contempt of the district attorneys office that
he was willing to give away half of his case.
