HAS GONE EAST.
Matte Overman Will Enter the Critten.
ton Home in Philadelphia

Miss Matte Overman, whose confess
sion in the Brown case is now in the
hands of the special committee named
by the Bay conference to confer with the
Dubuque association with the view of
having that body rescind its action in
taking the Rev. Charles o. Brown into
its fellowship, has gone east, says the
San Francisco Call of the 18th inst.
1t was learned todya that the young
lady left California some weeks ago and
went direct to Philadelphia, where she
has gone into ore Of the Florence Crit
tenton homes maintained by the mill
ionaire Charles Crittenton in memory OF
his beloved daughter who was taken
from him by death when she was quite
young With the new surroundings and
people unacquainted with her past Miss
Overman intends to take up the study
of the Bible with the view Of being a
teacher.
1t was while in Los Angeles in hiding
during the investigation made by the
Bay conference that she claims to have
been completely converted. She claims
that her life before that period was one
of shams, but since then new light has
come into her life, and her whole desire
now is to devote her life to teaching the
gospel and helping others who have
fallen.
In her last letter to DR. Mclean, Miss
Overman stated that she did not intend
to swear to any more testimony against
Dr. Brown, as she had already sworn to
much that was false.
Dr. Mclean said today that he did not
want it to appear that he is seeking any
opportunity to express his views of DR..
Brown, but he says that when inter-
viewed and asked pointed questions no
good purpose is served by giving an
evasive answer.
