New Orleans La, March 17.-Joe
Scherrer, the jockey, today brought suit
against Dave Gideon, the New York
turfman, for $4,000, for defamation of
character. Upon the mare, Campania's
last appearance Gideon backed her
heavily and she finished nowhere. Joe
Echerrer up. The next day Scherrer
had the mount on Billy Mckenzie and
Gideon also backed this horse heavily.
He was third and Gideon openly declar-
ed that he had been pulled, offering to
bet S., 600 to $1,000 that he could prove
that Scherrer had pulled both Mckenzie
and Campania. The match for $1,000
between Campania and Valet grew out
of this dispute and as this race, which
would have been regarded as a vindi-
cation of Scherrer's honesty had he
won, was declared off, the suit was en-

W Ill DO In Such Event.
San Francisco, Cal, March 1.-THE
council that is sitting in judgment on
the Rev. c. o. Brown, has acquitted
the accused pastor on one charge. Az
ter a long debate the council came to
the conclusion that Brown was not
guilty of any immoral conduct with
Mrs. Stockton. They based their opin-
! ion on the following facts: That Mrs.
Stockton was not a woman whose testi-
mony could be taken for truth; that
there was no e violence introduced that
was strong enough in legal sense 10
convict the pastor, and that he showed
Mrs. Stockton great kindness in every
way that a Christian minister should,
and that she had taken advantage OF
that kindness.
The Post says: a verdict has been
reached in the case of Rev. c. o. Brown
and the committee on findings has de-
clared the minister guilty OF conduct
unbecoming Christian minister. The
committee finished its work today and
presented it TO the council. The report,
which is about 1000 words in length,
will not be made public until il has
been submitted TO the Congregational
church, which will probably be on to-
morrow night. 1t is believed that the
report of the council will exonerate
Brown of the charge of immortality but
will find him guilty of unministerial con-
duct. Upon the precise wording OF
the report under the ministerial conduct
specifications will depend DR.. Browns
future. The council may or may not
fty ha fSb 1ay7r hut
atty is mentioned. a severe condemna-
ton by the council would result in DR..
Browns loss Of his church. Should
this occur the pastors friends declare
that they will form a new church for
him in this city. Each member OF the
council has taken a solemn pledge Of
secrecy and the report will not be made
public until ii is presented TO the con-
gregation of the First Congrega tional
church tomorrow.
The closing paragraph is to the effect
that although no evidence has clearly
convicted Brown of any single act OF
immortality. yet the testimony has been
such as to throw grave doubts upon the
mans moral character.
Even those most prejudiced against
Brown admit that with this paragraph
added the verdict Is all that the testi-
uOIly JuSlLleS.
LATER-NOT GUILTY
San Francisco. March 17.-Dr. Brown
is acquitted of the charges of adultery
and unministerial conduct.
The council excused DR.. Browns &C
tons after the charges had been made
public, on account of his quick temper
With regard TO the young lady who.
ii is alleged, he threatened, the council
SAYS:
I'VE find his conduct to have violated
all rules which should control the act
ions of a gentleman and Christian
minister, and we censure him for il,
while We gladly recognize the kindly
and manly words of appreciation and
reparation offered by him TO the young
lady in our presence"
The council says DR.. Browns expla-
nation Of the payment of money 10 Mrs
Davidson is unsatisfactory, but there is
not trace Of suspicion in the minds of
the council concerning the hitherto
stainless reputation OF DR.. Brown. DR..
Brown and his friends consider the
verdict a complete vindication.

and Walling, the indicted murderers of
Pearl Bryan, are in the Newport, KY,
jail tonight. John Bitter, the jailor,
has increased the number of his guard
and the police at Newport have been
instructed TO exercise great vigilance
The prisoners were first put in a SEN
sitive cell, absolutely dark, in which
were twenty telephone transmitters
On a floor above were stenographers
and other witnesses. So far as hearing
any communication between the pris-
onerS is concerned, ii was a failure
They evidently discovered that it was
a trap and maintained perfect silence
Judge Holmes announced that on next
Thursday the case would be called with
out the presence of the prisoners, TO
enable attorneys to arrange for the
regular hearing.
Today rounds forty-five days since
the murder and forty days since the
arrest of the prisoners. Sheriff julie
Plummer has been untiring in his eff
forts to detect the murderers and Sc
cure their extradition. He has spent
over $500 without any assurance that
the state would ever reimburse him.
The general belief is that the trial will
begin next week. as the criminal court
is now in session.
In the trip to Kentucky, the pris-
oners were handcuffed to detectives
Walling to Grim, and Jackson to Nc
Dermott. These detectives say that
both of them trembled like aspen leaves
as they entered Newport. All who saw
them at the jail testify that their
faces were pale as those of dead men.
