Z. o. Brown. is now fully organized
and ready to proceed with the actual
trial of the accused clergyman.
M. s. Woodlands, representative of
the First Congregational church. of
which DR.. Brown is pastor.
was appointed judge advocate
this afternoon when the council had
been reconvened. The committee on
charges reported that four charges
had been preferred against DR.. Brown
by Sarah B. Cooper, assistant pastor
OF the church. and by her daughter,
Hattie Cooper
THE CHARGES,
of which proof was promised by those
making the charges. are as follows:
First-That the letters written as
alleged by Miss Overman, in which
Dr.. Brown was compromised, are gen.
uine.
Second-That DR.. Brown in his asso-
Citations with Mrs. Albertine Stockton
was unministerial in his conduct.
Third-That DR.. Brown had been
guilty of intimidation toward Mrs
Lena Blanchard, a non-church men,
'ber who voted against Brown at a
recent Congregational meeting when
resolutions of confidence in the pastor
were introduced.
Fourth-That Dr.. Brown was con-
cerned in a conspiracy with Miss
Overman to spirit Mrs. Tunnel away
so that she could not testify against
him before the council
SECONDARY CHARGES
were also introduced. charging DR..
Brown with adultery with Miss Over
man; conduct prejudiciaI to the church
in paying $500 to Mrs. Davidson to
avoid exposure of his alleged liason
with Miss Overman; conduct unbecom-
a in II
Mrs. Davidson as an exemplary Chris
tan woman after the date on which
he paid her the sum of $500. Both re-
ports were accepted and entered as
records of the council. Letters from
Mrs. Cooper and her daughter were
also read to the council. These COM
munications merely reiterated the
charges which had been formally pre-
ferred against DR.. Brown. DIR. Brown
asked that references to Miss Over
man in the letters be stricken from
the records as being unjust and DAM
aging to that young woman by their
utterances. Judge Advocate Wood
hams was then asked to present the
evidence in support of the several
charges. No one present had any evil
dence to offer, and Woodlands said he
could not go out to find witnesses if
none would voluntarily appear. He
thought those preferring charges or
having evidence against Brown should
present it. After "a, long discussion, in
which DIR. Williams of the council said
if there was no evidence against
Brown the council would have to &C
quit him. it was decided to adjourn
until this evening to procure testimony
for the prosecution. 1t was decided
that all witnesses should be sworn
before being allowed to testify
At the evening session the detailed |
statement of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper was
read. From this statement it is evident |
that Mrs. Cooper's main reliance in the !
case against DIR. Brown is Mrs. Stock [
ton who says that DR.. Brown assaulted /
her Mrs. Stockton visited Mrs. Cooper /
on February and detailed her story and 1
again on February H. assuring Mrs. /
Cooper that she would testify against Dr.. |
Brown in spite of the strenuous efforts I
to persuade her to remain quiet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-Richard Gro
ker sails for England on the steamship
St Louis this morning. He will be ac-
companied by his two sons, Richard
and Herbert. He will return in time
to take part in the presidential cam
paign.
In an interview he said: at is un-
necessary for me to reiterate that 1
will never again take an. active inter
est in the management of Tammany
hall. I have repeatedly declared my
intentions on that score. But if my
advice is ever asked for, or if can by
suggestion, counsel or aid the organi
zation, it shall not be lacking. I love
Tammany and I shall always love the
organization. No truer or better set of
men, no more sincere men, were ever
joined together. John c. Sheehan is
capable and trustworthy, and, no mat
ter what construction is put on his
leadership by outsiders, he will not be
swerved from his course. He is a man
who is doing right. who will always
do right, and he will be appreciated.
If he does wrong, he will quickly be
condemned inside as well as outside of
the organization, but such contin-
gency will not, L am sure, arise.
He took a Republican district, dis
trict that had always been Republican,
and in two years he changed it into a
solidly Democratic district He has
worked himself up step by step, until
he has become the natural leader of

Gus, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding. Tammany has loved and
honored me and L am profoundly
grateful; and, mark my words, Tam
many will love, honor and admire John
