contended that the capitalization OF the

The assertion is made that the Union Pa

law would amount to. and It Is stated that
the effect Of the law upon the income OF the

In conclusion it is urged that the maximum

that the question whether the rates fixed by

SAN FRANCISCO. March 4,-Deacon Will
llams subjected Miss Overman to a severe
cross examination at the evening session of
the council, before which Rev. c. o. Brown
of the First Congregational church is being
tried on charges Of immortality. He asked
her, among other things. If she had not felt
for come time that her feelings for DR..
Brown had been such as no virtuous woman
should entertain toward a married man.
Miss Overman replied, with much apparent
Indignation, that she had felt no such thing.
She admitted, however. that she did not
walt for the pastor to tempt her, but fell
of her own accord. -t.
Mr.. williams led her through a long lane
of mystic, hasty questions, beginning with
the meeting December 10, and ending with
her entry into the doctors study the same
afternoon, when the alleged blackmall Of Mrs.
Davidson was revealed to her. Mr.. Williams
wanted to know If the old feeling came back
in the darkness of the room The witness,
however did not get an opportunity to reply
to this, for DR.. Pond interposed strong
objection to what he termed unnecessary
discrimination, and said If 1t was con-
tinued he would certainly withdraw from
the deliberations of the council.
Rev. Mr.. Sink wanted to know what her
feelings toward DR.. Brown are now.
Sincere pity, and that only" was the
reply.
The members of the council came to the
conclusion that Misc Overman's story with
out corroboration is insufficient They have
decided that Mrs. Tunnel is a necessity
She has been telegraphed for in the name
of the council and upon her words hangs
in measure, the fate of DR.. Brown.
Rev. G. o. Brown is still too i'll to appear
at the meeting of the Congregational council,
where he is being tried for alleged i'm
morality. His interest are being watched by
an attorney. .
Miss Overman's cross examination was con-
tiued at this afternoons session of the
council. She admitted that Mrs. Tunnel the
missing witness whom the council would like
to find, had no means and that she had sent
Mrs. Tunnel several remittances since her
departure. She admitted further that the
money had been furnished by Dr. Brown
and when asked why DR.. Brown should send
money to Mrs. Tunnel, asked "Why should
he not?"
The cross-examination of the witness re-
garding the published letters from herself
to Mrs Tunnel got the witness into tangle
from which she extricated herself by saying
that she had not marked the interpoated
passages of all the letters. She said she
had never expected that the letters would
be published supposlng that Dr.. Brown
would never allow the matter to go so far
and that he would rather pay a large sum
of money than attempt to expose the con-
spiracy she and Mrs. Davidson had formed.
