REV. BROWNS STORY.
His Version OF His Meeting With
Miss Matte Overm-n in Chicago.

HIS Version OF His Meeting with
Miss Matte Overm.n in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Rev. c. o..
Brown. late of California, whose sem
sational meeting with Miss Matte
OVerman at a recent Salvation Army
meeting al Willard hall was referred
to in an evening paper. said today:
The article with reference to the
Willard hall incident is incorrect in
several places. When Miss Overman
arose, as others were doing, TO tes-
tify. she was not on the platform, but
back of me on the main floor of the
hail.
we had been informed by the San
Francisco papers that she was on the
way east, and ! was not surprised
when l recognized her voice. Neither
did I start as though to rise neither
did I bow my head, as if confused

she saw me she was manifestly sur

dropped into her seat, bowed her head
q. moment, and very soon after spoke

ma med 70. tee close OF the meeting
THE facts with regard 10 her writ
ing TO me for money from southern
California are these: She wrote offer
ing to procure an affidavit from Mrs.
Tunnel if 1 would pay for ii, but af-
firming that my enemies are ready to
pay for a story against me. and that
they should tell one if 1 should not
meet her terms. I refused her propo-
sition ind gnantly. Her confession
appeared soon after, and was her
fourth conflicting story. and 10 this
last confession she refuses to make
oath.
Miss Overman confessed with tears
that she came to our home for the de-
liberate purpose of doing what she
could 10 injure us. In previous
mood she besought US TO forgive her
for so abusing our hospitality. 1t must
be for the public to judge what
credence to give her word"

POOL ROOMS RAIDED.
Chicago Police Cause Big sensa-
tiOn--A Test Case Probable.

Chicago Police Cause n Big Sensa-
tion--A Test Case Probable.
Chicago, Dec. 12.-Every open pool
room in this city was raided by the
police this afternoon. and the num-
Der of prisoners taken is larger than
in any raid made here in months.
Warrants were taken out for the IS
pool rooms which We're recently opened
here, but only five were found open
when the police arrived. These We're
filed with patrons. and more than 800
prisoners were taken to the station.
The keepers were arrested under state
warrants, while the patrons will be
arraigned as inmates. Bail was quickly
obtained, and within three hours from
the time the raid was begun all the
prisoners had been released. 1t is said
that the managers will refuse to close
their doors in order that Il test may
be made. They claim that they are
not operating in violation of the law.
although Chief Badenoch is acting
with the advice of the law department,
and says that he Will raid the places
as fast as they are opened. Notifica-
ton had been given the managers TO
close, and but five ignored it. The
raid this afternoon was filled with the
usual incidents. Ten patrol wagons
were brought into service, and nearly
I
station. At Powers & O'Brien's place
on Madison street the appearance of
the police caused intense excitement,
and about 30 of the inmates escaped
while officers were guarding the doors.
The pool room is on the second floor,
and dozen had escaped by means of
the dummy elevator through which
drinks are sent up from the saloon be-
fore the police discovered it. Many
others decamped by the fire escapes.
The other places raided We're: Perry's.
119 Clark street: Leo Mayors. lie
Clark street; H. w. Williams. SO Fan
dolph street. and Bud Whites. 125
Dearborn street.
Some claim that the pool rooms were
/ operated within the law. Instead OF
accepting the bet here, the managers
claim they acted as agents only, and
telegraphed the terms of the wagers to
Milwaukee. in which event it is con-
tended. the bet took place in the latter
city. The police. however. are inves-
tigating, and believe that the kilograms
ALLEGED to have been sent to and from
Milwaukee did not leave this city. They
expect to find an instrument some
where in Chicago which was used to
! induce people to believe that the terms
of the bet were sent abroad, and that
the place of agreement was. therefore
not Chicago. They have so far how
ever. been unsuccessful, and the mana
/ gers claim that the bets were actually
consummated outside of Chicago. Or
this ground they will fight the case.
