II WAS PURE BLACAMAIL.
Miss Matte 0Verman Makes a Start
ling Confession.
She Had Entered Into a Conspiracy
With Mrs. Davidson to Extort
Money from Rev. DR.. Brown-Her
Object was to Avoid Work.

San Francisco, February 2S.-The
Rev. DIR. Brown, after two months ST.
lence, has given his defense to the pub
lie The story is the most startling
which has yet been told in the scandal
1t was related as a confession to the
ecclesiastical court last night by Miss
Martha Overman, who is the first in the
sensational case to confess herself
blackmailer. Miss Overman's manner
was striking She spoke so quietly that
even the members of the council were
forced to draw forward until their
chairs formed a small semi-circle on
the platform. The woman spoke de-
liberately, weaving a remarkable story
logically and clearly. She confessed
that she was a blackmailer and tried to
be a thief, and she gave the information
with a smile.
She confessed that she plotted the de-
struction of the man whose hospitality
she now enjoys. She declared that TO
save herself from work and the posi-
bic hardships of poverty she consplred
with Mrs. Mary A. Davidson to ruin
the character of the Rev. Dr. Brown
and to blacken her own. She asserted
that she approached the representa-
tives of a morning newspaper with the
hope of tempting them to black1ail
the accused pastor. She drew her re-
cital to an exciting climax by assert
ing. with the smile, which never left
her face. that she wrote the letters
which picture her own moral and phys
ical ruin. and placed the cause of her
deep distress at the door of the Rev.
DR.. Brown. Asserting all this, she de-
MED that there had ever been the sigh
est Improperly in her relations win
the man against whom she plotted so
shrewdly.
Rev. DR.. Ollie. pastor Of the Central
Methodist Church. was the first witness
Yesterday for Rev. Mr. Brown. The ac-
cused minister tried TO show by Or.
Ollie that the character Of Mrs. Thurs
ton. who has testified against him, was
bad. and that she was unworthy OF
credence. Mrs. Gordon was called 10
the stand to try to explain the myster-
ious disappearance OF Mrs. uhheii' Du'
nothing important developed.
Harriet Cooper, the udu6llCei VI o"i
ah B. Cooper, assistant pastor, who had
charged DR.. Brown with conspiracy In
spiriting Mrs. Tunnel away so as to
not testify against him. was called upon
for her proofs, but she was not ready
with them.
The Judge Advocate then announced
that his testimony for the prosecution
was all in, and he called upon any vol
untary witnesses to testify. The mod
orator objected, saying that due dill
gence had not been exercised in devel-
oping the case against Dr. Brown, and
that many points named at the begin
ming of the trial had not been since
referred to. Witnesses should be
sought on these points, or else the
churches would declare that the coun-
ell had not fully and impartially in
vestigated the charges against DR..
| Brown.
