W. r. McMmLAy Coal Agent, Salt
Lake city.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-12
His Attitude Toward DR.. Tenney
Was Defiant and Pleading
by Turns.
NEW WITNESSES INTRODUCED.
Mrs. Barton Makes Damaging Second
Hand Statements-The Case Now
Practically Closed.

The ecclesiastical council has now in its
possession all that DR.. Brown can or will
offer in defense of his manhood and char
scter.
Yesterday in the interests of truth and
justice, under the cathode ray as adroitly
manipulated by DR.. Tenney, the accused
man was allowed to repeat the defense OF
his alleged misconduct with Martha Over
man and the Widow Stockton. There
were times when the pastor suffered a
complete lapse of memory, and then there
were occasions when he found it easy to
recall the minutest detail. These little
memory lapses, if such they might be
termed, niched nicely with the intent and
meaning of the questions asked by his
twenty judges.
DR.. Brown was apparently Ill ct ease
throughout the entire day. He was
naughty and suppliant by turns. Again
his face flushed in anger or paled IN ex-
citement according to his conception of
the pertinency of the question. Once or
twice the reverend gentleman became de-
cidedIy combative and incidentally con-
Trajectory and confused in his answers.
On two occasions the witness gave vivid
exhibitions of personal antagonism to his
interlocutor. Nagle threw oil on the
troubled waters by assuring the excited
pastor that the questioner was forced to
get at the facts, and the only way this
could be done was by seeking information
on seemingly irrelevant, and sometimes
personal, matters.
DR.. Tenney continued his role of special
questloner for the council. He wore that
same cold, impenetrable yet inviting
smile, and not even the most caustic re-
joinders of the witness sufficed to kill that
smile. His eye flashed bit at times, or
assumed merry twinkle, according to the
humor, but the smile never left his lips
Next to DR.. Brown and his questione r
DR.. Pond was the most noticeable figure
on the platform. This took form, how
ever, in his frequent objections TO the
"harsh and cruer' questions asked by his
fellow judges.
AT the evening session G. ". Bickford
and Mrs. Barton were introduced by the
prosecution. The latter told of the object
of Mrs. Tunnelrs visit TO Tacoma as re-
lated to her by Miss Overman's friend.
The witness was not as clever in her dates
as she might have been, but in the main
she told her story in a perfectly straight
forward way. Attorney Nagle tangled her
up considerably on these points, but did
not succeed in confusing her on the main
points at issue.
The case of the defense and prosecution
is now practically closed. 1t is rumored
that an effort will be made to produce the
Pullman porter in charge of the car on
which DR.. Brown and Miss Overman Jour
neyed Tacomaward together. DR.. Ten
ney's question yesterday indicated that
some startling evidence of this character
was being held in reserve, though mem
bers of the council decline to discuss the
matter at present.
Miss Overman viii probably be placed
on the stand again to-day, after which DR..
Browns case will be submitted to the wis
dom OF his ecclesiastical brethren.
The council will meet at o'clock this
afternoon.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-12
AFTERNOON SESSION.
DR.. Brown Undergoes Searching
Cross amlnation-His Conf
dence In Miss Overman.

DR.. Brown Undergoes Searching
Examination-His Conf
dence In Miss Overman.
Dr. Browns further ross-examination
occupied nearly all of the afternoon ses-
sion of the council. He was in excellent
spirits and voice throughout the three
hours he was being continually racked with
all kinds of questions.
In the course of his prayer opening the
afternoon session, Rev. DR.. Mooar said:
Give strength to all who have any testimony
to bring, and prepare their mind and will so
that their testimony will be reliable and given
us so that we will receive only that which is
true and right.
DR.. Brown was little dilatory in making
his appearance, and Mr.. Nagle took ad
vantage of the period OF waiting to ask the
the Bible or the State law in the considera-
tion to be given evidence. He explained
that the reason for his asking this question
was that he might be asked to close the
case and therefore wished to be prepared.
He admitted that he was not so good q
Bible student as the members of the coun-
Gil, while he was posted on the State law
governing such matters.
ing the legal adviser of DR.. Brown before
the council that the council had not given
the matter any thought, and then sug-
gested to Mr.. Nagle, in view of his con-
fession, that he might devote some of his
time advantageously to the study of the
Bible. This raised ripple of laughter at
the expense of the attorney.
ness by asking him if the Overman letters
were not published on the 7th of January
of this year. To this DR.. Brown replied
that he could not remember the exact
date, but knew that they were published
some time In January. The cross-exami-
nation then proceeded as follows:
Your attention was called to them at oncef
Yes, sir.
Did you read them thoroughly?
No, sir.
How long time elapsed bofore you read
them thoroughly?
did not read them thoroughly until Febru.
ary g.. The occasion OF my reading them
through then was when | was in Mr.. Nagle's
office and he was securing for me files of the
paper containing reports of the case. He
brought in a copy of the Examiner containing
these letters. and then read them through.
In the meantime had any steps been taken
by you toward having committee appointed
before which you wished to make statement?
/ think so.
Do you recall when that occurred?
1t was after the publication of those letters.
W as IL not the nrSt instance tnat you SPOKE
of the matter before the Bay Conference? Did
you not state to them that they might be OF
help to you in this matter and that you would
like to make a statement to them? And did
you not say that very brief explanation would
clear away the matter?
/ believe did but find that overesti-
mated the worth of Christian fellowship.
We're steps taken to appoint that committee?
Yes, sir.
Did that committee have various meetings?
Yes, sir.
Did you come to one of those meetings ready
to make q statement?

record on that point" he said. aggressive
ly, 81 fought for this country probably
before you were born"
After few more questions DR.. Tenney
remarked: ~ cannot but feel, DIR. Brown,
that your confidence in Miss Overman
not given us a full explanation of?'
DR.. Brown retorted quickly: II don't
think you ought to question the integrity
of your witnesses" Then he went on to
tell that he did not consult Miss Overman
about the Davidson plot because he knew
her 'hasty and mercurial disposition" and
feared to preclpitate an explosion.
In answer to another question DR.. Brown
denied that he had paid any part OF that
$500 to Mrs. Davidson with the under
standing that it was to go fo- Miss Over
mans schooling.
The witness became restive under the
searching questions of DR.. Tenney, and
he asked the council why they did not in
quire into the "noble aspects" of tie case.
DR.. Tenney. however. kept on inquiring
about the ignoble part of the Davidson plot
and prodded the witness with the question
as to why he had not refused to pay Mrs.
Davidson dollar and why he had not de-
fled her to do her worst. The witness
replied that the four women, or the three
women, would be too strong a combination
against him with their testimony in court.
There was such state of public opinion
that any minister of the Gospel would not
have dared to defy it.
The inexorable Tenney went on:
Has not your experience taught you that the
payment OF money at such time and under
such q pressure is always considered a tacit
assent to the truth of the charge?
No, sir; on the contrary, have talked with
attorneys in this City, and they have many ex-
amples of innocent men having been
OstraciZed.
DR.. Tenney-While that may be true, don't
you know that it always raises question in
the minds Of manv that there may be grounds
for the charge?
don't reason it that way, but it may be so.
DR.. Tenney-Has not your study OF morals
taught you that the safest way is to do right,
that happiness may follow?
Yes, in my reasoning moods. For once was
thrown off M guard.
Should you not have said, 81 spurn this
whole business; do your worst?"
Why?
! have already told you WHY.
