the rear end of the auditorium and
there is stairway leading from the
balcony up into the tower.

the building. There are large win
dows under and over the gallery, also
dows under the over the gallery, also
back of the choir.
The old native church burned to the
ground several years ago. The new

have here the petition of only one of these
executors. Only majority of the execu-
tors can act in any case. Even if their
will had been admitted to probate, one ex-
ecutor out of three would have no power
in himself to act in any manner concern
ing the estate.
Mr.. Pierson turned his attention then to
the Schoolteachers Commissioners petit
ton. He read the clause of the will of
September "a, wherein the sum of $50, 900
is bequeathed as a fund for pensioning
schoolteachers, provided the Legislature
first establishes such a fund and commits
sion. Then he cited the law passed by the
Legislature in March of last year, and it
was apparent at once that the Legislature
had blundeTed. For instead of creating
one fund and one commission for the pur-
pose of pensioning schoolte&chers the law
creates no less than tiftv-three of them, or
one for each county. Mr.. Pierson argued
that, as there was no designation in the
Photographic will, the court itself, were
that will probated could not determine to
which OF these fifty-three commissions the
money should be bestowed.
Whereupor Mr.. Delmas asked leave to
amend this petition. He had read the law
but hastily, yet he now felt confident that
he could so amend his pleadings as to
cover the objections raised by Mr.. Pierson.
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-18

Such time was granted, and so far as the
arguments on the schoolteacher's COM
mission petition was concerned, an ad-
journment was taken till next Friday
afternoon.
Then Mr. Delmas arose to discuss the
dement's of Mr.. Persons demurrer to the
DIR. Levingston petition, and before he had
concluded everybody saw that there were
two sides to the question.
so far as this argument on the demur-
rer is concerned, said Mr.. nelmas, it is
admitted that the will represented by DR..
Marc Levingston is the only genuine one
and that the will which he seeks to con-
test is spurious and forgery, and yet the
proponents of a will that, for the purposes
of this argument, is admitted to be spu-
rlous, come into court and deny the right
OF the proponent of the will that is admit
ted to be genuine to contest the spurious
will. Hence the only question TO be con-
sidered is, Can the executor of genuine
Will, revoking all former wills, come into
court and contest the probating of a forged
will?
To deny an executor such right would
Mr.. Delmas declared, be shaking the very
foundations of probate principles and
equity. How can the executor of a gem
uine will get rid of spurious will if not by
contesting the probate of it2 Is not the
executor of a confessedIy genuine will in
terested in maintaining that will against
one that is confessedly spurious?
Under the ecclesiastical English law
from which our probate laws are derived
the only person qualified to probate will
wherein an executor is named is the ex-
ecutor himself. What becomes of the
right of an executor to probate a genuine
Will if spurious will can be probated
ahead of the genuine will and he be not
permitted to enter contest? The right
to petition for the probate of will of ne
cessity involves the right to contest the
probate of spurious will. The very filing
OF the latter will is in itself a contest Of the
will previously filed.
Mr.. Delmas quoted numerous New
York anG California decisions TO sustain
his position, and among them the probate
decision in the case of the will of the late
Horace Greeley. He had not ended his
argument when court adjourned until this
morning, when Mr.. Delmas will conclude.

owing to Dr. Browns illness and conse-
quent absence it simply held three hours
informal discussion and then 'ad-
jonrned to meet again at its convenience"
1t is possible that the three hours con-
sumed by the committee last night were
devoted to a discussion of the legality of
the investigation. The power to inquire
into the acts Of a minister can only be
conferred by the church. Until this is
done" says DR.. Williams, "any act of the
committee must be of semi official char
acter."
The action last night would indicate a
determination on the part of DR.. Brown 8
appointees to wait until the congregation
has had time to canvass the situation. If
this be true, 1t means no further meetings
until after the next weekly prayer-meeting.
There seems to be considerable differ
ence of opinion concerning the admission
of Mrs. Davidson's testim ony. 1t is argued
by some that in view of the charge now
resting against her it would not be fair to
pit her statement against that OF DR..
Brown. This, in fact IS the view enter
tanned by the latter but Attorney Gal
lagher thinks quite differently, and does
not hesitate to express himself concerning
the effort that is being made to prevent
his client from appearing before the COM
mittee.
of this investigating committee is sim
cere in the work the members are about to
not hesitate to hear the charges that have
been made against Pastor Brown by my
client. She Is entitled to tell her own
story and Justice demands that she be al
lowed to do so.
There need be no question in their
minds as to whether they have the power
to bring Mrs Davidson before them. The
committee have only to indicate a willing
ness to hear her and | will guarantee that
she appears when wanted | intend to
speak to the committee about this very
thing, and to learn if possible, just how

1t is probable that Mrs Dayidsons case
Will be set for trial this morning, though
in which court it is mpossible to say.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, in discussing the
latest phase OF the trouble in DR.. Browns
church. said yesterday:
This is no longer private or even
church matter. The public is interested,
and 1t is right that the press should be ad
mltted to the investigation. However, if
Dr. Brown succeeds in clearing himself, 1
nope and believe the press will make the
amende honorable. The position of
churches and those who conduct them
should be unassailable. No investigation
should drag them down, but instead reveal
them In all their whiteness.

CATION He must know that this unhappy
affair has brought about considerable preju-
dice against him, and | think he should

Judge Sawyer has declined to act on the
com mittee, and as yet no one has been Sc
lected in his place. Mrs Gum also re-
fuses TO serve giving as a reason that her
position on the standing committee was

ascertal2ed, to act as chairman of the
committee, neither did he endeavor to
vote nor yet to veto any vote of the COM
mittee.
1t was the general impression that the
comlnlttee at its first session last night
would discuss and determine the question
as TO whether or not the investigation
should be held in secret or with closed
doors, and also as to whether the proceed
lngs would take the form of an "investIga-
ton, as ordered by DR.. Brown, or whether
they would resolve themselves into the
more concrete result ordinarily termed
trial. But from the lucid report given
TO the press it was impossible to learn even
II these questions had been touched upon.
a few minutes before 10 O'Clock Dr.
Williams, DIR. Mclean and DIR. Mooar left
the conference and the church and IN
formed the waiting reporters that the
meetlng was at all end and that the secre-
tary was preparing a full report tor the
newspapers. An attempt to ascend TO the
sanctum was frustrated by vigilant Sexton
Pike, who planted himself across the
stairway and said he had orders not to
allow any one to go up. Asked who had
given him such orders, he said he had
given them to himself After a further
waiting OF about twenty minutes the par
ticipants in the three hours "informal
discussion" came out from the pastoral
office, and then 1t was that the report
which introduces this story was graciously
handed to the reporters, with permission
10 copy it in full. And they were further
informed that they might copy the certif-
cate OF DIR. Palmer, who attested to the
poor physical condition of DR.. Brown.
Inquiry as to DIR. Browns whereabouts,
as he had been seen to enter but not to
leave the church, was answered that he
had left early in the evening. Sexton Pike
then volunteered the information that he
could have left by half dozen different
exits without being seen by the reporters.
And thus ended the first session of the
joint committee which DR.. Brown largely
aided TO appoint to Investigate the charges
against him. 1t met to organize, but

who gathered there to argue the merits
and dement's of the demurrer filed bv the
executors named in the late Senator Fair S
will of September q to the contesting petit
tion OF Dr. Marc Levingston, talked mostly
to emnty benches.
Attorney Pierson of Pierson & Mitchell
who represent Executors Goodfelow, An
gus, Bresse and Carothers spoke to the
merits of the demurrer He began by
citing the petition of DR.. Marc Levingston
to have the holographic Will OF Septem Der
"a, 1894, probated, and also the petition
claiming that DR.. Levingston sis person
entitled to contest the probating of the
will of September q OF the same year.
Then he referred to the petition of the
commissioners of the board of school
teachers retiring fund, who also sought to
contest the probating of the will of Sep
tenn Der q, they being devisees under the
latter, but not under the former will.
Mr.. Delmas OF. Delmas & Shortridge, who
are of counsel for DR.. Levingston and
represent the Schoolteachers Commits
sion entirely, inquired at this point
whether the argument OF Mr.. Pierson
could not be divided as be preferred to
address himself to each proposition
separately. 1t was finally so arranged,
and then Mr.. Pierson went on to declare
that DR.. Livingston could have no stand
ing in court as contestant, for three
reasons: That his petition did not set
forth facts sufficient to show cause of
action on his part; that he was not a
legally qualified contestant, and that his
petition was not filed in due time.
Mr.. Pierson held that the language of
section 1907, when properly construed,
prohibited an executor from entering into
the contest of another will, the language
of the statute being that ''any person in
terested may appear and contest the will. !"

The charges were made last evening.
and as result the fee clerk, Harry Morris,
has been suspended pending an investiga-
ton. Should the investigation prove guilt
on his part Morris suspension will be
made permanent. Should it develop moth
ing culpable he will resume his place at
its conclusion.
The charges are that Morris has been
filching from the fee drawer. The only fee
Morris takes from the attorneys is the fee
OF 81 tor the law library, one that ac-
companies every complaint filed. The
charges made against him, allege, how
ever, that he has been accepting fees for
attesting to notarial signatures for use in
other States.
They amounted to some $50 or $40 a
month under the old regime of the 81 fee
and under the 50-cent fee proportionately
less. 1t was small stake if it were
played for at all, and the smallness of it
and the certainty Of detection are argu-
ments brought against the truth of the
charges.
C. f. Curry, the County Clerk, and
Harry Piper, his chief deputy, are both
ignorant OF the facts upon which the
the charges only when they were pub
lished. As result of the publication
