in the matter.
You are not making misstatemenIs as par
tisan to defend DR.. Brown?
You would tell the truth, no matter what its
effect would be?
Are You Christian?
Itry TO be. L don't like TO say so because II
would sound ridiculous to say so under the
circumstances.
You believe in future life?
do, sir.
You believe in the existence of an al-wise
and heart-searching God?
Do you believe that in that future life there
is 10 be an accounting given OF the oeeds OF
this life2
Do you think that at that time the state
ments you have made here to-day would have
remained unchanged?
DID Or. Brown furnish you with the money
foT your schooling?
Not to my knowledge.
Tenney-Did Mrs Davidson turnlsn the
money for you TO go to Tacoma
No sir.
BID YOU occupy the same section with Dr.
Brown on that trip ?
Yes, sir.
sink-When you went to the Chronicle Office
to sell certain story you met woman when
you came out Was that Mrs. Tunnel?
After considerable beating about the
bush the witness finally admitted that
this woman was Mrs. Tunnel; that she
had gone from. Mrs. TunnelIs to Mrs. Da-
wilson 5, and then to the Chronicle office.
She further stated that Mrs. Tunnel
knew nothing of the nature OF her errand
10 the Chronicle Office. The witness fur
ther admitted that she paid visit recently
TO the Chronicle Office accompanied by DR..
Brown and attempted to make Mr.. Slmp-
son, the city editor of that paper, believe
that her original errand was concerning
more the sale of other writings OF Mrs.
Davidson than the story OF the scandal,
but that her effort failed, as Mr.. Simpson
was emphatic in declaring that his recol-
lection and hers of that incident were
widely different.
She excused herself for attempting to
make Mr.. Simpson believe something
which she knew was untrue by stating that
she could hardly be blamed for attempting
to protect herself the best way she could
under the circumstances. Rev. Mr.. Ten
ney continued the cross-examlnation as
follows:
Is Mrs Tunnell Mrs. Baddin?
Ii is Jolly to think such thing. She is not.
Mrs Davidson is Mrs. Baddin-
What was ii that finally led you to believe
that your first explanation OF the Tunnel let
tiers was not satisfactory?
heard minors that people believed was
not telling the truth in regard to them. and
Dr. Brown came home one day and said he
had not read the letters until that day and
asked me whatever induced me TO write those
letters. / then retired to my room and de-
termined that1 would tell the Whoie truth IN
regard to them.
Did not Dr. Brown say to you, "If that ex-
PLANTATION (meaning the first one) goes to the
council it will never satisfy them in the
world"2
DR.. Brown said he could not imagine what
could have induced me TO write those letters:
You had no conference with him about the
letters?
No. sir; he never heard the full explanation
of those letters until it was made in the pres
--rl H.
You are fully convinced that that other ex-
planstion would not be believed?
l felt that only the truth would do, and de-
cfded to tell it.
Do YOU know how your letters to Mrs. Tun-
neil were obtained for publication?
l have no positive proof OF how they were
obtained Information came to US in q letter
recently that they were found in a satchel in
Mrs Tunnels room and taken to an attorney;
| do not remember the exact details; they
were correct as published In THE CALL few
davs ago The attorney would have nothing
to do with them and they took them to the
Examiner. This information came to US in
letter unSought
Did you make a second attempt after the
one YOU told us Of to secure the letters?
I made a second attempt after l left Mrs.
Davidson. 1 went TO 104l Mission street aud
either the landlady or the landlord, forget
which, told me Mrs. Tunnel had gone and
taken everything with her. Then / went TO
Oakland at Mrs. Eaton's, and found Mrs. Tun-
nell Just. ready to go out. When she left l
looked into her trunk, but failed to find the
letters.
Was the money you furnished TO Mrs. Tun-
neil furnished 10 you by anybody?
l have sister who always helps me when
am in need.
Did YOU have any conversation with Mrs.
Tunnel in the presence of Dr. Brown before
She went to Mrs. Eaton?
Is Mrs. Tunnelrs reported statement, that
she could not stand up for DR.. Brown, well
I don't see what foundation she had for that
uoyt-What was your statement 10 Mrs. Tun-
nell before she lett?
/ told her that l had never told her OF my
love for Dr.. Brown, and that wanted her to
