OVerman'S Record.
TACOMA, WASH, Dec. .30.-W. C. Wheeler,
president of the Chamber of Commerce,
and several prominent citizens, besides a
large number OF DR.. Browns congregation
here, speak very highly of him and say he
is the victim of blackmail. He had charge
of the Congregational church here for over
two years and was very popular, his Sun
day evening services drawing crowds.
Miss Overman is not thought highly of
here. She had trouble here and in Seattle,
when her husband BACKED her eyes in a
fracas. This was some time before her
going to San Francisco. The sentiment
here is strong that DR.. Brown is victim
of blackmail.
