| that occasion.
| Who told Mrs. Brown?
| One day went up to the office to see the
doctor and l found Mrs. Brown there. Before
that had made an appoint tment to meet him
| on Montgomery street on some corner, but she
| unfortunately got the note, so both were there
| instead of the doctor alone. She asked me if I
| had written the note and I said "No" at first.
| denied it as did notwant to impllcate the doc
| tor and myself. She asked me to come up to the
study, but l had a previous engagement
which prevented my going, she got no
| chance to see me. On later day l went to
| the Office to see the doctor, and she was there.
There was some company there, and when the
| company went out felt that l would tell her
right out. 1 liked the doctor very much and
respect his wife, and told her when she asked
| It, l said that / must have had
some cause, and the doctor agreed
| to that and we all shed tears and made up. 1
said that had not any desire to separate them
| or make trouble. Then he said, ~ have
! wronged this woman and you invite her to the
house." said that would not go on any
| such invitation They escorted me home and
| after that went to their house two or three
times. 1t was after that the trouble occurred
with Mrs. French.
Did you ever meet the doctor after the
prayer-meetings of the church?
| On, yes; we used to meet very frequently.
l would hardly get into my room when he
| would come in He was like my shadow.
Did you ever meet him at any of the ser
! vices?
North Beach. 1t was dark, and know that we
walked miles. There were some Italian vege-
| table gardens there.
About how many times do you suppose that
| you met the doctor after church services?
| Enough times that was willing to 90 to the
end of the earth for him. We never went to q
raIa nf
! sometimes to go east of Montgomery street,
where we were not likely to meet people who
nigh recognize US.
| Are you at the present time a member OF
| this church?
| l am in good standing. My name has never
been dropped from tho roll. No one has ever
sald anything to cause it to be dropped, e1-
cept the doctor.
Did you ever have any other relations with
Dr. Brown except those embraces which you

uons to me, and l expected a great deal from

Brown wish might be protected against
this kind of testimony.
Woodhams-Have any threats been made by

and that fear has not yet gone.
From what source does that fear come?

HeS Dr Rrovn thraetaned ,o,, ~, onr, ,rouo
No. sir.
Has any one in the Doctors interest threat
ened you?
A certain influence was used to keep me
away, which thought ought to respect, but
thought ought TO come TO protect myself
and show that am not as bad as l might be-
and l want people to know 1t.
The witness disclaimed that she had
been induced TO come by any influence
brought 10 bear on her by Mrs. Cooper. In
answer to questions by E, G. Williams the
witness stated that she had frequently met
DR.. Brown in her room and retold the story,
as previously published in THE CALL,
of his having kissed her while she was
lying in bed ill.
E. G. Williams-Did DR.. Brown ever take any
other liberties except those you have men.

said he wron ged me.
AT this point the reporters were asked
to withdraw, which they did.
After the secret session Qasting nearly

The moderator decided that under the
agreement this was allowed. DIR. RAIDER
appealed from the decision OF the chair,
DR.. Brown saying that it was an unheard
of thing to limit questions. The modera-

DR.. Brown in his cross-examination
asked many questions which involved her
character in more ways than one. He
wanted to know if she had not attempted
to blackmail Mr.. Bass of Heuter-Bass Com
pany, and if she had not had improper
relations with Harry Martel and Archi-

On advice of her attorney she refused to
answer. DR.. Brown then asked if it were
true that she had attended stag party,
and the next morning had been found in the
woods in compromising position with a
man. The witness declined to answer, af-

to continue the examination further, as
the witness had evidently been well
coached.
The Gear affidavit, which has already
been published, was then offered in evil

lowing being fair pie of ALL
