TRIAL OF REV. BROWN.
Miss Overman Gives Testimony Before
the Council of Investigation.

Miss Overman Gives Testimony Before
the Council of Investigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 27.-To-
days session of the ecclesiastical court
to investigate the charges of improper
conduct preferred against DR.. c. Q.
Brown, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church, was not marked by dra-
matte incident One witness testified
that Miss Matte Overman, DIR.
Browns protege, had been introduced
to him by the doctor as his niece. One
witness said Judge Campbell admitted
to him that he had received letter
from the accused pastor, in which he
expressed a desire to drop proceedings
against Mrs. Davidson for blackmail.
Miss Overman, with her back to the
audience, and with the members of the
council huddled about her in a semi
circle, told a remarkable story of con
niving at blackmail, in which she and
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson were the arch
ccnspirators and DR.. Brown the inno-
cent victim. In substance, she stated
that under the baleful influence of the
wicked Mrs. Davidson, she consented
to be a party to a huge blackmailing
scheme. whereby DR.. Brown was to be
mulcted to the extent of $4,000.
Mrs Davidson was to prepare story
detailing the relationship existing be-
tween DR.. Brown and Miss Overman,
and Miss Overman was to dispose of it
to the San Francisco Chronicle" $4,000
being the sum agreed upon. The tale
was compiled, but Miss Overman's
nerve failed her, and she modified her
terms with the newspaper to the extent
of $1,000. This the paper declined to
pay, and then it was that conscience
smote Miss Matte and she repented of
her misdeeds. Needless of the threats
of Mrs. Davidson, the fair young wit
ness went to her pastor, confessed all
and besought his forgiveness, which
was readily given.
Incidentally Miss Overman explained
that she and her aged accomplice had
agreed that in order to give their story
verisimilitude they should provide a
number of fictitious letters upon which
the plot could be built. Thus originated
the celebrated Overman- Tunnel let
ters, which Miss Overman admits that
she wrote Mrs. Tunnel for wrongful
purpose, and which she afterwards
stole from Mrs. Tunnell's room in order
to make comparisons and dove-tail
statements in the epistles with the as
sertions made in similarly written let
ters addressed to Mrs. Davidson
Miss Overman was about to go into
details regarding the manner in which
these letters were concocted when ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow
afternoon.

that they be taken up for action. (Ap-
plauSe.) / do not suppose it is neces-
sary to make a speech upon them. The
resolutions are SO brief, so plain so
simple, upon a subject with which
everyone in America is familiar, that
there remains nothing more to do than
to vote upon them" (Cries of Vote >
Mccall (Rep.) of Massachusetts, who
objected to the present consideration
when the resolutions were presented,
was on his feet instantly in front of
Hit; Boutelle, who resisted the sudden
action of the House in the passage of
a bill appointing the Venezuelan bound
airy commission, and Bailey of Texas
all demanded recognition.
The latter was fortunate enough to
reach the Speakers eye, and said 'If
a separate vote can be taken on the
resolutions, do not know that I shall
object. One of the resolutions, as I re-
member them, pledges the support of
Congress to the President in carrying
out the previous resolutions. / think
that they should receive sufficient con-
sideration.
Hitt-That resolution, / may say, was
added to the original draft at the re-
quest of some members who may not
care to press it, and a separate vote, L
doubt not, can be had on it,
The resolutions were read by the
Clerk, and again a wave of applause
swept over the chamber.
BouteIle, with much earnestness, ad-
dressed the House. These resolu-
tions. as I understand" he said,

lutionists in Cuba This may involve
the United States in a war with Spain.
and I must object to action now in the
absence of a word of explanation from
the committee. I want to know what
information was before them when
they agreed to recommend the passage
of the resolutions, to see of it warrants
me, as citizen, as a patriot as a
member of this House, in approving
their action, when the result may be
to embroil my country in a war with a
nation with which we are now at
peace"
Hitt-WiH the gentleman permit the
House to consider the resolutions after
an explanation?
Boutelle-Why, Mr. Speaker, it is
now 5 O'Clock, and it is impossible at
this hour to enter upon the consider
alton of this momentous question in
manner commensurate with its great,
it's vast Importance. Gentlemen about
me, not all of them, l must say. are

ABSOLUTELY PURE

was affirmatively disproyed by compe-
tent and uncontradicted evidence, leav-
ing no possible doubt
We deem it to be among the I'M
questioned rules which regulate the in
tercourse of gentlemen that when one
finds that he has been led by mistake to
cast unjust imputatfons upon the char
acter of another he should promptly
make such reparation as remains in his
power by acknowledging his error,
withdrawing the imputations and ex-
planning his regret Such reparation to
Mr.. Iselin and his associates the Earl of
Dunraven, after full opportunity, has
failed to make.
1t further appears from the evil
dence and Lord Dunraven's own ad-
missions that at the time of the cup
races he Intentionally refrained from
making the charge formally, or making
any protest as required by the rules
because it was impossible for him to
verify the charges, and he was unwill-
ing to take the responsibility of main
tanning it.
1t further appears that in print
and in public speech Lord Dunraven
has sought to justify the making of
the charge by numerous misrepresen-
tations of fact. He has been forced
himself to admit the untruth of most
OF these, yet he stubbornly refuses to
retract the injurious inference drawn
from them.
The representatives of this club
engaged in the international yacht
races with Lord Dunraven, as the rep
resentative of English yachtsmen,
upon the footing of mutual confidence
and honor. He has requited their
courtesy and confidence by distrust
and suspicion, unfounded imputations
of fraud and refusal of reparation.
Lord Dunraven, by his course. has
forfeited the high esteem which led to
this club; therefore
" Resolved, That the privileges of
honorary membership heretofore ex-
tended to the Earl of Dunraven are
hereby withdrawn, and that his name
be removed from the list of honorary
members of the club
When Captain Ledyard concluded
there was an outburst Of applause.
Someone called for the yeas and nays,
and they were so ordered. Great sur
prise was expressed when the name of
Chester C. Monroe, owner of the Or
vie was called, and he said mo- Mr..
Monroe's course was heartily con-
demned by the members, who general
ly referred to him in uncomplimentary
terms.
Thus ends, so far as the yacht club
is concerned, this international un-
pleasantness, which has aroused so
much bad feeling on both sides.

address inviting the cooperation of all

ocal declarations for the maintenance
Of the present standard of value.
1t was generally believed that Sec
retary Of Treasury Carlisle would APP
pear before the committee and speak on
Americas finances, but Mr.. Carlisle
did not make his appearance.
The meeting of the committee was
executive, but Chairman Hentz at its
conclusion remarked to a reporter of the
United Press: II was assured person
ally by Mr. Carlisle that there would
be no straddling of the financial prob
lem by the two great parties, but that
