of expressions of confidence and sympathy.

theatrical propositions innumerable. Such

Several times during the recital Of her
story Miss Overman showed deep emotion,
particularly when she referred to the re-
ports of her career in Spokane, Seattle,
Walla Walla and other Northern cities.
There was apparently nothing of the
manufactured" in her recital of these
earlier events. She talks in perfectly
plain, straightforward way, without any
affectation and with no other purpose
seemingly than to tell the truth. She is at
all times ready conVersationalist. quick
to answer questions and never nervous.
Her appearance before the council will be
an event if nothing more.

CAMPBELL DEALS FARO,
A Fake Game in Which His
Honor Lost the Bank Roll
in One Deal.
He Is Caught in the Act of Drawing
Two Cards to Win the Last
Bet Made.

A faro game was raided on the corner of
Geary and Kearny streets early yesterday
morning, and the outfit was taken as evil
dence to the CalifoInia-street police sta
ton, but was afterward sent to the new
City Hall. However, it remained long
enough in the frst-named station for a
game to be started and finished with Judge
Campbell as dealer, Lieutenant Esola as
lookout and Officer Burnett and PATROL
driver John Martin as players.
Soon after the outfit had been taken to
the station Judge Campbell was espied on
the corner of Kearny and California streets.
he was invited over by Lieutenant Esola
10 inspect the haul.
The Judge was either overcome by recol-
lections Of younger days or, possibly, curl
osity started him on the downward path
for he Immediately arranged the layout
and started q deal with the aforesaid look
out and players. He was soon engrossed
in his work, and from the scientific way
in which he handled the pasteboards an
interested Qnipoker ventured a remark
that the Judge had missed his calling, but
as the game ended SO disastrously for the
dealer he has determined to remain merely
Judge and allow others to be the sports.
John Martin, the player who keptI the
game, was in luck from the time the first
card was turned. He played the deuce
for $50 worth of checks and won. He
then doubled his bet on the same card and
won again. This seemed to worry the
dealer considerably, but he merely kept
taking down the bets that we're lost by
Officer Burnett, who seemed to play with
hard luck or poor judgment; but maybe
he took compassion on the dealer, or else
they were combined to fleece Martin.
However, Martin played all his checks
again on the deuce and won again.
This last lucky bet reduced the bank roll
ahOut one-half EYcltament WAS now at
high pitch as Burnett was all in and there
were but one or two more turns to be
made. Martin at this time played the
deuce and tray with sufficient checks to tap
the roll. The onlookers almost held their
breath, the lookout was in nervous
strain and the dealer was steadily schem-
ing as he turned the cards. By some un-
seen way the dealer had looked under the
box and noticed that Martins bet was
sure to win. Then his, skill came to
the surface and he deftly drew two CARDS
at one time from the box and was about to
take down the checks when the lookout
notified him of the deception.
He merely smiled and said it was an ac-
cident and that he had lost his bank roll
in one deal. 1t was an exciting exhibition
and all breathed easier at the finale.
The game was not played for money, but
as much interest was taken in the game by
the dealer as though all things depended
upon his winning. Martin declares he
would like to play for $50 turn with the
Judge as dealer, but he says he would hire
his own lookout.

manner, recommending me highly to anv
one who might be interested. Later on l
presented this letter to Baptist church in
Spokane, and as a result learned one of
the bitterest lessons of my life. AS soon
as the minister learned that was married
and living apart from my husband the
sympathy and interest formerly extended
me were withdrawn.
"All this, however, is of little interest to
any one, so will skip that part of NV life.
When lett Helena 1t was much against
the wish OF Mr.. Silyeira. In fact he went
so far as to dispose of some of my hard
earned pennies at the gaming table, think
ing thereby to keep me as his chief sup
port. And why not? It is pleasant to
have little home, especially if that home
Is neither an expense or burden to QUE. So
it was with Mr.. Silveira. For fully wear

sell, even to paying the laundry bills and
house rent. On my departure from Helena.
such garments covered my back and filled
my trunk as only my money had pur-
chased.
After a short visit to my home at
Walla Walla wrote to him, on the ad-
vice of my parents, who up to that time
had known nothing of my domestic
troubles, advising him that would never
live with him again, but would seek re-
dress through the courts. Being afraid
that he might attempt to carry out his oft
repeated threat to take my life went i'm
medla.ely to live with married sister in
Spokane, thinking to escape him should
he seek me in Walla Walla. 1t seems,
however, that my fears We're groundless,
Tor never heard from him directly, even
when notice was sent of my application
for divorce, until, true to the nature of the
man, he attempted to strike me through
the medium of the press since the devel-
opments in the Brown Davidson scandal.

who have figured more or less prominently
in the case that the missing witness, Mrs.

the council to make her presence known.
