Plotted the Destruction of
Her Friend.
Startling Developments in
Browns Trial.
Martha Overman's Confession at
the Meeting.

SAN FRANcIso, CAL, Feb. 2s.--The Rev.
DIR. Brown, after two months silence, has
given his defence to the public. The story
is the most startling which has yet been
told in the scandal II was related as
confession to the ecclesiastical court here
last night by Miss Martha Overman, who
is the first in the sensational case to con-
fess herself blackmailer. Miss Over
mans manner was striking. She spoke
70 quietly that even the members of the
council were forced To draw forward until
their chairs formed small semi-circle
ont the platform. The woman spoke de-
liberated weaving remarkable story,
logically and clearly. She confessed that
she was a blackmailer and tried to be
thief and she gave the information with
smile. Sfe confessed that she had
plotted the destruction OF the man whose
hospitality she now enjoys. She declared
that TO save herself from work and the
possible hardships of poverty she con-
spired with Mrs. Mary A. Davidson TO
blacken her own. She asserted that she
approached the representatives OF a morn
ing newspaper with a hope OF tempting
them TO blackmail the accused pastor.
she drew her recital TO a dramatic climax
by asserting with a smile which never
left her face that she wrote the letters
which pictured her own moral aud physi-
cal ruin and placed the cause of her deep
distress at the door OF the Rev. DIR.
Brown. Asserting all this she denied
that there had ever been the slig htest inn
propriety In her relations with the man
against wnom she plotted so shrewdly.
