The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-30

summarily interrupted by Deacon Bar
nard, who moved the adoption of the re-
port of the joint committee.
Charles G. Nagle seconded the motion.
Mr.. Warren arose TO make some re-
marks, but got no further than: 81 would
like to say a''-when Mrs. Cooper sue
ceeded in being recognized. She said:
have felt anxious and panied over this mat
ter ever since it was made public and was 10th
TO believe there was any ground for such a
charge as has been made. am Very glad to
see that our pastor is here to hear what have
to say.
Kisses from various parts of the room
interrupted the speaker. Among those
who were most energetic in producing the
sibilant disapprobation of the lady was
Valentine, son of DR.. Brown.
Deacon Dexter admonished the audience
to refrain from disturbing the meeting,
and said ne would not submit to such ex-
hibitions. Mrs. Cooper then resumed:
If I am wrong in what am about to saw I
would esteem it a favor for any person in this
Gu urch to get up and say am mistaken II is
simply matter of conscience. feel that what
l say is true. l must say It,
DIR. Brown broke in here and asked Mrs.
Cooper whether she was proceeding ac-
cording to the prescribed rules of the
church. He declared he should have been
informed before she undertook to publicly
denounce him. She replied:
II wrote you letter informing you of
my purpose"
TO this DR.. Brown retorted by saving
that she should have called upon him
personally. She resumed, however, as
follows:
During the last few weeks have been asked
many times what l thought about Dr. Brown
keeping his place in the pulpit, ana said I
thought he would not desire to do so, know
been asked many questions by members of
the press.
l long belonged to the press and could not
very well refuse to answer some of these ques-
tons. l have also had scores of letters adj
dressed to me, making inquiries regarding this
case, and the only reply did make was "Let
US wait and see what the end will be-
L had every confidence in the doctor despite
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-30

the fact that DR.. Brown cannot make any
statement for the public without breaking
with his counsel, who have advised him not to
make any statement at all. ] wish to state
that this has been the attitude of DR.. Brown
from the very first. He said that he was
anxious to make full reply to all the charges
brought against him. 1t was only with great
difficulty that he could refrain from doing So
But he has been compelled to silence by his
attorneys, who believe that any statement he
might make would be construed against him.
He suggested the appointment OF the Joint
committee himself He asked that the Bay
Association would appoint q committee to
whom he could make a statement in conf
dence-one that was to be withheld from the
pubic, not because he wanted to withhold it
but because he was compelled to withhold it.
He said that he felt assured that we all would
retain our confidence in him when we heard
his statement, and we cheerfully assented.
We did this not from any sense of duty but
spontaneously.
DR.. Mclean then denied that the joint
committee was one appointed to either
investigate the conduct of DIR. Brown
or to try him, and added that
the erroneous impression that existed
in the public mind on this point
made 1t apparent that the joint committee
would not be able to accomplish its true
purpose without being misconstrued. He
then continued:
The only thing left for us to do was to re-
mand the case 10 a council by the local church.
Last Monday afternoon after due consultation
with the members of the Bay Association we
proceeded to the house of DR.. Brown, he having
no previous knowledge OF our visit, and told
him we thought it inexpedient to do anything
under the circumstances for the reason that it
would be misunderstood, and that far from
being able TO keep anything private it was
found that 1t was impossible to keep anything
even what was thought to be most secret-from
the press.
DR.. Brown, when he learned the reason for
our decision, readily consented to have the
matter referred TO q council He was perfectly
brethren, and asked US to take whatever
course we thought best. He said he was will
ing and able to trust his character to God and
his brethren. DR.. Brown did not make the
suggestion to the committee to have the mat
ter remanded to q council. He said further
that he would never consent to have this mat
ter rest until it had been fully investigated.

saw the letters known as the Overman letters

similar in purport to some that had received

ing the Golden Gate kindergarten.
Reference to my diary confirmed every fact
stated in these letters. Then there was pub
lished statement that the chirography in the
Overman letters had been compared with the
known handwriting of Miss 0verman and
found to be identical.
The style of writing, the syntax and other
points corresponded exactly. 1 even went so
tar as 10 employ an expert, who decided that
these letters published in the newspapers were
in the handwriting of Miss Overman.
Where we have not the full evidence we can
only judge from that portion which we have
Can you wonder that l have wanted salts
factory explanation of the Overman letters,
which have caused me unspeakable pain ever
since I knew of their existence?
In view of all these circumstances l think it
would be best for our pastor to refrain from
teaching until all these things are explained,
and for this turning 10 DR.. Brown, my pastor.
Ifervently pray.
AS soon as Mrs. Cooper had concluded
DR.. Brown came to the front of the plat
form and said:
want to say that Mrs. Cooper could have
had the explanation she desired if she had
come to my house instead of making public
statement. l will say further that she can
have it by coming to my house tomorrow or
at any time that suits her convenience.
in the estimation of any fair-minded person
would free me from all blame In connection
with those letters.
Mrs. Cooper promptly accepted the offer,
and it was finally decided that she was to
call at DIR. Browns house at II o'clock this
morning TO receive his explanation and
which DR.. Brown asked her on her
''womanly word" to keep secret.
Charles G. Nagle arose and expressed
his confidence In the pastor
Deacon Dexter then put the motion to
adopt the report, but vote was prevented
by c. P. Wolcott, who demanded a roll
call.
There being no roll available Deacon
Dexter attempted TO have the motion acted
upon by viva voce vote, but before he
could carry out his purpose his attention
was called to rule which provided thai
no resolution could be acted upon at the
same meeting at which it was presented if
there was any objection.
MIR. Wolcott having objected, it was
finally decided to have the matter come
up for action on next Wednesday evening.
In response to a question by w. II.
Brown, a member of the church, DR..
Brown said:
don't desire to avoid any question, and
propose to attend to my pastoral duties till the
church which gave them to me deprives me of

most earthly joys, yet he wore it with
pride and there were many hands to help
him don it last evening.
The Sunday-schooI room of the First
Congregational Church was crowded like
playhouse at free performance. Parents
brought their children, who found the pro-
ceedings of greatest interest.
The officers and trustees of the church
and members OF the Bay Association were
present to learn what disposition would be
made of their reports. DR.. Brown was in
his place, looking no whit worse for the
ordeal of the past month. He presided
during the pray er- meeting proper, which
was of the stereotyped form. There was
no special relevancy in the reading nor in
the prayers nor hymns. Deacons Barnard
and Dexter invoked divine help in all good
undertak ings whatsoever. DR.. Mclean
made some commentaries upon the scrip
:ural passage read.
The audience grew FESTIVE under the
prescribed form of procedure, but settled
back into a comfortable and attentive al
titude when DR.. Brown stated that he
would resign the chair in favor of Deacon
Dexter while reports were made by repre-
Sentatives Of the joint committee from the
Bay Association and standing committee
of the church. This report was presented
by DR.. Mclean, who prefaced it by criti-
clsm OF what he regarded as the hostile
attitude OF the press shown in its dealing
with DR.. Browns case. The Brown con-
tingent applauded at this point.
Deacon Barnard read the report of the
officers and trustees of the church. Dr.
Brown followed with a statement of how
much he desired to present incontrovert-
IDLE proof of his innocence and how rigor-
GUS his attorneys were.
All was going smoothly until Mrs.
cooper sought permission to speak. This
was obtained after some difficulty, for DR..
Brown demanded why she had not COM
municated with him before censuring him
in the press. She replied that she had
written him, but had received no reply.
Her pastor denied having received her
letter.
Mrs. Cooper was permitted to make her
statement, which she did simply and
forcibly. She had believed DR.. Brown in
nocent, she said, until Miss Overman's
letters were published. These, she SAID,
corresponded so perfectly with letters re-
ceived from Miss Overman by her that she
was forced to believe the evidence of his
guilt conclusive. She would be glad to be
corrected If she were wrong. DR.. Brown
asked her to call at IL A. NJ. to-day and
proof would be furnished. She promptly
accepted the invitation.
Mrs. DR.. Rogers rose at this juncture to
say:
I'VE are with you, DR.. Brown
Z. ?. Wolcott made a rousing address,
IN which there was much about DR..
Browns service in the army, but was
ostensibly plea for the postponement OF
action on the resolutions until the church
might vote on it without interruption
from outsiders
THAT would be the course followed in
other secret societies., - he declared.
Deacon Barnard motion, seconded by
G. q. Nagel, that the resolutions be
adopted at once, was not put because Of
CoInrade Wolcott's objection, and action
will be taken upon them at the next meet
ing.
Dr. Brown declared his intention to fill

was deprived of the right to do So This
was In answer to Deacon Browns cues
ton, "Will the pastor fill the pulpit DUR
ing the interim ?'
There was handshaking in plenty at the
close OF the meeting. DR.. Brown and Mrs.
Cooper divided honors pretty equally in
that regard. The feminine contingent of
DIR. Browns sympathizers was divided be-
tween smiles and tears. II worship the
ground ne walks on" asserted one of the
fold. "Who can look at that face and say
he is guiity2'
1t was whispered about that Mrs. Stock

Ings. "How horrid of herr' said one
woman. ''The foolv' said another.
1t was true. The winsome widow could
not restrain the curiosity inherited from
her grandmother, Eve, and was moved to
look IN upon the meeting. She trlpped
through the library and took seat near
the door, looking on with mischievous
expression. She left early.
Mrs. Cooper was the heroine of the occa-
sion. 1t was evident that she made her
protest with difficulty. She was pale and
her voice trembled, but DIR. Browns
frown did not deter her. alt nearly killed

It's no easy task for a gentlewoman to
endure an outburst of misses such as
greeted her from one quarter when she
went upon the platform; but she only
grew little paler, and said: There is
but one animal that misses"
Of all DR.. Browns antagonists woman
was the one who raised her voice in
protest to the adoption of the resolutions
practically generating him.
1t is noteworthy that no attempt was
made to control applause when it greeted
