DIR. BROWNS CASE.
Miss Ovcrman Says 1t Was n Scheme to
Biackmall on Her Part.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 2S.-The
silence has given his defense to the pub
Ilc. The sto.y is the most startling which
has yet been told In the scandal. 1t was
related as a confession to the ecclesiasti-
cal court last night by Miss Martha Ov-
erman, who is the first in the sensational
case to confess herself n blackmailer.
Miss Overman's manner was striking.
She spoke so quietly that even the MEM
bers of the council We're forced to draw
forward, until their chairs formed 4
small semi-circle on the platform. She
spoke deliberately, weaving a remark
able story, logically and clearly. She
confessed that she was blackma;ler
and tried to be thief. and she gave the
information with n smile.
She confessed that she plotted the de-
struction of the man whose hospitality
she now enjoys. She declared that to
save herself from work and the possible
hardships of poverty, she consp!red with
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson to ruin the char
acter of the Rev. DR.. Brown and to
blacken her own. She asserted that she
approached the representatives of n
morning newspaper with hope Of
tempting them to blackmail the accused
pastor. She drew her recital to a drl-
matte climax by asserting, with the
smile which never left her face, that she
wrote the letters which picture her own
moral and physical ruin, and placed the
= N =
the Rev. Dr. Brown. Asserting all this,
she denied that there had ever been the
slightest impropriety in her relations
with the man against whom she plotted
so shrewdly.

Decision Of tho Supreme Court In tho Suit
Against Hcr IIu 'bant's Estate.
Washington, March 2.-The Supreme
court to-day decided the Stamford case
in favor of Mrs. Stanford.
The title of the case is the United
States VS.. Jane l.. Stanford, eXecutrix
of Leland Stanford, deceased. 1t In
volved the Individual liability of stock
holders in the Central Pacific Railroad
company for the debt due the United
States on the bonds issued In aid Of the
Central Pacific under the California con-
stitutlon. Mr.. Stanford held 144,3S"i
shares of the Central Pacific stock, and it
was claimed by the government in insti-
tuting Its suit that the government was
entitled to collect S15,23T, 900 from the
Stanford estate. This contention was TO-
sisted by Mrs. Stanford on the ground
tnat the California constitution was not
self-ruling, and also on the plea that 1t
was the intention of congress In grant
ing aid to the Central Pacific company
to put in on n footing different from the
footing on which other government-aided
roads were placed.
The suit has attracted great attention
from It's initiation, because of the effect
the decision will have upon the other
Central Pacific stockholders, and also be-
cause the fortunes of the Stanford uni
yersity will be determined largely by the
decision.
