Large Sum of Money Offered for Its
verification.
CHICAGO, Feb. "a special dis
patch from Springfield, Mo-, says:
President Homer T. Fuller of Drury
college announces that he has received
a singular proposition from a wealthy
Massachusetts man, whose identity he
would not disclose. The man offers
Drury large sum of money if it will
verify the truth of war incident which
is alleged to have taken place in Mis-.
setts man thinks equals the story of
Damon and Pythias. The president
announced that the college would ac-
cept the offer and he requests
the students to help him Sc
cure positive evidence if such Il
thing really did occur. The story is
that in the early part of the war, IA de-
tachment of Confederate troops in
Missouri took about 400 Union prison.
ers. Twelve of these prisoners were
lined up and shot without provocation
by the Confederate officers Upon
hearing Of this act, the commander of
the Federal regiment drafted IL Con.
federate prisoners to be shot in retalia-
ton. AS the line was being formed, a
young man named William Lear
stepped forward and asked permission
to take the place Of one of the con-
demned men who was his friend. The
request was granted and Lear was shot
in place of his friend.

Miss Martha Overman Makes O
Z '"f""SiOn in the Brown
Case. -
Told With q Smile How She and
Mrs. Davidson Conspired to
Get Money.
Not the Slightest Improperly
With the Man Against Whom
She Plotted.

SAN Francisco Feb. 29-The Rev.
Dr. Brown, after two months silence,
has given his defense to the public The
story is the most startling which has
yet been told in the scandal. It was
related as a confession to the ecclesias.
tical court by Miss Martha Overman,
who is the first in the sensational case
to confess herself blackmailer. Miss
Overman's manner was striking. She
spoke so quietly that even the members
Of the council were forced to draw for.
ward until their chairs formed small
semi circle on the platform. The woman
spoke deliberately, weaving remark
able story, log lcally and clearly.
Confessed She was a Blackmaiier.
She confessed that she was a black
mailer, and tried to be thief, and she
gave the information with smile. She
confessed that she plotted the destruc-
ton Of the man whose hospitality she
now enjoys. She declared that to save
herself from work and the possible
hardships of poverty, she conspired
with Mrs Mary A. Davidson to ruin
the character of the Rev. DR.. Brown
and to blacken her own. She asserted
that she approached the representatives
of morning paper with a hope of
tempting them to blackmail the ac-
cused pastor. She drew her recital to a
dramatic climax, by asserting. with the
smile which never left her face, that
she wrote the letters which picture her
own moral and physical ruin. and
placed the cause of her deep distress at
the door of the Rev. DR.. Brown. AS
sertlng all this, she denied that there
had ever been the slightest improperly
in her relations with the man against
whom she plotted so shrewdly.
