MORE LETTERS BY MISS ovERMAN
Surprise in the Brown TriaI-Pas-
tors Wife Testifies.

San Francisco, March 10.-The pros
ecution in the Brown case introduced a
surprise when the Congregational coun-
ell resumed it's labors today in the
shape of a number. of letters written
by Miss Overman, which she did not
know were in the possession of the
counsel. While testifying about the
Mrs. Tunnel letters several days ago
Miss Overman was asked if all the let
tiers she had written Mrs. Tunnel had
been made public. She replied that she
thought they were all there except two.
Today 10 more letters were produced
and Miss Overman was asked about
them. The attorney for Brown made
strenuous efforts TO have them kept
out, but he was overruled by the mod
orator.
Miss Overman admitted writing all
the letters except one, which she said
had been rewritten in the same manner
as the Matchmaking letters, which she
had already testified she had substi-
tuted for the original letters to Mrs.
Tunnel.
Brown was unable to attend the trial
today and his attorney announced that
he was seriously i'll and it was feared
that his brain was affected.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Brown,
wife of the accused minister, took the
stand in her husbands defense and tes-
titled at length as to the meeting of
Miss Overman and the relations of the
latter toward the Brown family. Mrs
Brown said her husband went to Ia
coma with Miss Overman at her sug-
gestion, and since the exposure of the
scandal Miss Overman has remained
in the house at her invitation. She said
her husband was loyal TO her and to
his home and that she knew there hac
been no improper relations between
Brown and Mrs. Stockton or any othel
woman. Mrs. Brown said she attrib
uted all the sorrows of herself and hus
band to Mrs. Cooper, as the latter haC
introduced Mrs. Stockton to then
when she knew she was bad woman
