DR.. BROWN
Confident Of Emerging Undefiied From the
Barrel OF Pitch

Barrel OF Pitch
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.--Dr. Brown is
confident that he will be able to emerge
from the trial with clean character. He
states that he has a number of witnesses
who will go ON the stand and tell unpleas-
ant things about Mrs. Stockton. One of
them is Gilbert D. Dexter. Lloyd Tevis
will be asked by the council to give his
opinion of the woman who, Mrs. Davis
claimed, told her that tho millionaire was
one of her dearest friends.
Mrs. Brown tonight requested the news
papers to make the following statement
for her:
Mrs. Cooper now calls DR.. Brown to ac.
count for quietly permitting Mrs. Stock
ton to remain in the church after knowing
such damaging things about her character.
With regard to what have to say, my hus-
band, until within a few days ago, did not
learn of the affair at Larkspur, nor of the
allegations in connection with the five
men about whom Mr. Stockton refused to
answer.
AS to the damaging facts told us about
Mrs. Stockton by Mrs. Cooper in May,
1894, my husband has kept under solemn
pledge of secrecy exacted by Mrs. Cooper
before the revelation, and because any
proceeding against Mrs. Stockton would
involve Mrs. Cooper as informant, in
asmuch as she introduced Mrs. Stockton
10 DR.. Brown. Any church trial would
have involved her good name, and for that
reason she asked us to retain the secret in
violate, which we did until she brought that
woman forward to kill my husband.

odds were 10 to z on Burley.
Both men started in at rapid pace and
the first rounds were of the whirlwind
variety, with the odds in favor eff Burley,
but later Strong landed a heavy one on
Burley's right hand, which he had hurt a
short time previously in training, and he
was unable to do much with it during the
rest of the contest. Burley drew first
blood in the third round, and twice during
the contest his opponent was saved by the
gong from being knocked out. Burley

A Cyclers' Run

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The fourth an
nual twenty-five mile road race of the CAL
ifornia Associated Cycling clubs took place
today over the San Leandro triangle, fully
5000 cyclers turning out to witness the
event, which was by far the best race for
the distance ever held in this part of the
state. Charles S. Wells, the star of the
Syracuse racing team, who arrived from
Coronado yesterday by water, won the
time pr ze, although not in the best of con-
dition for such long race. He easily
demonstrated that he is the best man in
this part of the state today, when he
lowered the former coast record of
:14:55 AS to :lO:3O 5 with compar-
ative ease, at no time being pushed by
his companions on the scratch mark.
The race was ridden by forty-seven men.
and of these hardly dozen escaped with
out some kind of an accident. The roads
were not in the best of condition and the
large punches of racers caused many a
spill. B. c. Raynaud. the Bay City wheel
mems dark horse, sustained two falls, but
managed TO finish in the eleventh place.
The race was won by Harry Noonan of
Santa Rosa, who had q handicap OF ten
minutes, which was the limit. Noonan
made great race, using his head wonder
fully well for a new rider He finished in
good condition in ! i 9 :O2 40. The handI-
capping in some instances was not Of the
best, but taken as a whole. the work Of the
official handicapper, IL. M. Smithe. was
very creditable.
The Santa Rosa wheelmen scored the
most points, seven being allowed for
Noonan's win. The Bay City wheelmen,
with eight men entered, won three place
prizes and the time prize, scoring five
points.
