MRS. TUNNEL FOUND.
The Chief Witness in the Brown
Davidson Scandal Tells Her
Stnt-Nr

VISALIA, CAL, Jan. 9-Under the
glare of an electric light ca one of the
side streets of Visalia is the home of a
good Christian woman, and in her safe
keeping is Mr.. Tunneu.
TIE CALL representative has had tire
some siege of it in following up the trail of
the missing witness. Shortly after 8
o'clock this evening word was received
that Mrs. Tunnel would see THE CALL re
porter. After entering the house she did
not delay, but came in with outstretched
hands and remarked:
81 hope that all my friends will know
to-morrow that l am in the best Of health
and in safe hands"
why did you run away2' was asked.
From the reporters and also dread of a
subpoena. l don't crave notoriey. [ am
not afraid to tell what 1 know, and ii l
could be secured from that I would cheer

and SO made up my mind to escape"
"How did you carry out your inten-
tions?'
''Well, first 1 went to Dr. Browns house,
but the reporters were thick and ersistent;
they just hung around the house till mid
night Then L left by the rear entrance
and went to my friend, Mrs. Eaton, in
Oakland. They soon located me there,
and it was just as bad as at DR.. Browns.
left there in the evening and went to
Mrs. Hayes at Grangeville. Was there a
week and was feeling safe.
Last Monday night some one knocked
at the door. Mrs. Hayes being busy with
her household duties, l answered the
summons and found a gentleman who
afterward proved to be a CALL reporter.
He asked if this was Mrs. Hayes place.
told him yes. He then asked me if a Mrs.
Tunnel stopped there, l told him
would ask Mrs. Hayes. I sent her to the
door, and | again made use of the ba ok
door and walked out into the country for
q distance of six or seven miles. I re-
turned home after O'clock"
The next morning l arose before day
light and walked to Hanford to Mrs.
Growers. She is a daughter of Mrs. HAYES.
THAT evening the children drove me to
the station, and l took the train to Tulare.
l stopped at a friends house there that
night. The next morning took my valise
and started out afoot, intending to go to
another friends house, where possibly 1
could rest for day or two.
81 was walking along contentedIy when
a buggy containing a gentleman and his
wife overlook me. They asked me to get
in and ride with them. l asked them if
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-10

they were going near my friends house
and the answer was in the affirmative
Nearing there 1 saw a buggy with a
man in it and asked who that was. On
being told it was CALL reporter I re-
quested them to drive on. After going a
short distance proposed to get out and
walk.
''They asked me where intended to go,
so 1 said Visalia, and on telling them the
name of an old lady friend of mine they
informed me she was a dear friend of
theirs. So here l am, free once more.
II first met Matte Overman in 1889 at
Spokane. 1t was in church, and we were
sitting in the front rows. She occupied a
seat in front of me. She had pretty little
black-haired child with her.
Il remarked, What a strange combina-
tion-a black-haired child and a red haired
mother
After service | met her in the Sunday
school. The regular teacher being absent,
l was called on to take charge of the class
l was very much impressed with Miss
Overman, because her answers were so in
telligent 1 at once took liking to her.
SAT that time she was dressmaker, and
while there her people moved to Tacoma.
She told me then that she received at
least two letters week from Mrs David
son begging her to come to San Francisco /;
that she had a nice room for her and would
make it pleasant.
Matte could not understand why such
fine educated woman would want poor
ignorant country girl with her.
miss Overman met DR.. Brown before I
did. In her letters from Tacoma she
wrote about her preacher, and at that
time / had some of Dr.. Browns writings
and | admired the articles. Matte wrote
me that she thought of going to the
Worlds Fair, and with that our CORE
spondence ceased for very long period.
During the Midwinter Fair time / at
tended DR.. Browns church and introduced
myself to him, and asked him if he lately
had heard from Miss Overman To nv
surprise he answered:
eyes, she is here in San Francisco and
visits our home every few days
''She called on me at my request and
lived with me for several months. She
then went to DR.. Browns.
Eyes, Miss Overman greatly admired
DR.. Brown and told me about the intellec-
tual feasts they held every evening. She
was hungry for information. They were

NO LADY VISITORS.
Rev. DR.. Law Tells How Pastors Can
Protect Themselves From
SChennarS


Rev. Marshall Law of Oakland and pas.
tor of the Church of the Advent has given
public notice that he will not receive lady
visitors at his church study and will not
call on lady as her pastor unless by ap-
pointment and when her husband or
somebody else is present. This definite
rule, notice of which has been given from
his pulpit, has caused quite lot of talk.
81 am very positive on this matter"
said DR.. Law yesterday, land after the de-
velopments in the Durrant case and the
Brown trial think have ample justifca-
ton for the stand have taken. [ do not
know that it should be so, but there
always seems a sort of unhealthy senti-
mentality between the ladies of a church
and the pastor. 1t may be harmless
enough, but it lays the foundation for
scandal and should not be tolerated.
"Ever since l was ordained 1 have
preached against such folly, but now / see
the necessity for doing so more than ever.
cannot see the necessity for what is
called 'parochial visiting There is no
need for it to-day, and am opposed to is.
1t is in most cases only an excuse to make
a regular gossiping circuit, and in many
cases results in scandal. l do not believe
that a quarter of the charges laid against
ministers by silly or designing women
have particle of truth in them, but I
blame the ministers for laying themselves
open to the charges by such indiscretion as
paying unnecessary visits and receiving
visits from ladies at his study.
when old Bishop Worthington or
dained me back East he said: Don't let
me hear of you receiving visits from any
ladies in your church study The idea
was right, and 1 have always abided by it.
Il think there as far too keen desire on
this coast for the pastor to visit and be
visited. On nearly every church Won Sea
the pastors residence address and study
hours and think this is wrong. Modern
society has little use for the parochial
visit or the study-caller. If a pastor is
visiting he should announce his coming
and invite several people to meet him. A
married pastor is always in danger OF
schemes, and an unmarried man cannot,
in my opinion, be fitted for a pastor.
''No ladies need call on me at my study,
for l shall ask them to go to the house,
| where Mrs. Law can keep US both COM

Campbell's court at o'clock to-day.

are crowding one another thick and fast,
and it is only aquestion CT a little more

to rise Of itself and then propel itself
800 feet through the air, it is only q
matter of mechanical perfection of ar

The possibility has been demonstrated.

know. The rest will come.

The Scorching Hoodlum.

One part Of the country after another
is taking the scorching hoodlum in
hand and furnishing him, not as he de-
serves, for there is hardly law any
where as yet enough for that. but at
least Furnishing him. He is the BIZ
cycling idiot who knocks children and
grown people over at crossings, who
bolts upon the sidewalk against ladies
and drives them into the street, who
crashes against ether wheelmen and
who answers a mild remonstrance with
an oath and by still more violent and in
sane pedaling. A hobo upon a bicycle
is even more of a terror than a hobo ON
foot, for he can do more damage and is
surer of getting away.
Therefore it is incumbent Oh state
and city authorities to punish him with
fine and imprisonment till he is forced
to learn that other people have rights.
In some places it has been made an
offense for wheelmen to ride along city
streets faster than eight miles an hour.
st. Louis has found a state law to deal
with the case of the searching hoodlum.
1t is this:
II any person shall be MANNED, wounded or
disflgured or receive great bodily harm, or his
life be endangered by the act, procurement or
culpable negligence Of another, in cases and
under circumstances which would constitute
murder or m~anslaughter If death had ensued,
the DprSOn by whose act. procurement or neg
liecnce such injury or danger of life shall be
oecgsioned shall, in cases not otherwise pro-
vided for, be punished by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary not exceeding five years, or in
the county jail not less than six months, or by
both a fine not less than 500 and imprison-
mont in the county Jail not less than three
months, or by a flno not less than $l00.
