performed and with various xmas OF
deception She also says she has a
statement in reserve which is
"sccrcher."
An attorney for Mrs. Stockton also
appeared and stated that Mrs. Stock
ton would testify against DR.. Brown
provided she were assured of protec-

told her that Mrs. Cooper urged her to

A WILD SCENE.
Efforts to calm her were unavailing
and she was led from the room Shrek
ing and crying. The council then adj
journed until evening.
At the evening session, to which
only reporters were admitted another
sensation was sprung. Mrs. Albertine
stockton, who DIR. Brown said had at
tempted to blackmafl him long before
the Davidson affair, went on the stand.
She practically admitted that DR..
Brown had been unduly intimate with
her and that her relations were well
known to Mrs. Brown. DR. Brown had
sent her note asking her to come to
his study. She went and found Mrs.
Brown with the note in her hand.
Ihere was stormy scene and DIR.
Brown confessed to his wife and asked
her to forgive him and promising to
reform -
Mrs. Stockton said DR.. Brown an
peared to be infatuated with her and
wanted her to elope with him. This
she refused to do.
Mrs. Stockton said that DR.. Brown
LaG kssed her and had taken liberties
with her. They had gone en- long walks
and had dined at the Maison Richie q
French restaurant Once while she
was sick in her room with grip, DR.
Brown had called and kissed her
Later, she said that Brown had
wronged her. nav
on cross-eXamination, Rev. Williams
member Of the council asked her If
she had met DR.. Brown at anv other
places than the ones she had alrea DIV,
mentioned and if their relations had
been those of
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Mrs. Stockton started to answer but
her attorney Interrupted her and told
her not to answer the question unless
the reporters present would agree not
TO publish the answer. DR. Brown OBJ
lected to this, saying that the papers
had printed everything against him
and he did not see why Mrs. Stockton
should be favored. He wanted all the
facts made public
The council decided that Mrs. Stock
tons answer should not be made
public, and said that if the reporters
would agree not to publish it they
would be allowed, to remain. DIR
Brown thereupon declared that he had
not promised secrecy and that he
would publish Mrs. Stockton's answer
if she made it. DIR. Williams then with
drew his question and DIR. Brown said
he would not divulge anything Mrs
Stockton did not wish published.
The council then excluded all re-
porters.
