MRS. BADDIN is KNOWN,
The Existence of Mrs. Davidson's
Mysterious Visitor Is Fully
EStabI iShed.

There is no longer the slightest reason
to question the existence of Mrs. Baddin,
the mysterious woman" in the Brown
Davidson case.
The story published exclusively in THE
CALL of yesterday locating Mrs. "Bodin"
on Fourth and Mission streets, and sug-
costing that she was Mrs. Davidson's
yelled visitor, is corroborated by later de-
velopments. Attorney Gallagher does not
deny that he has received valuable infor-
nation concerning Mrs. Baddin's present
whereabouts, though he positively de-
clines to go into details.
1t is probable, however, that his first
positive "tip" came from the following
letter received by him yesterday:
35 SOUTH PARK, CITY, Jan. 3, 1896
mfr. Gallagher, attorney for Mrs. Davidson
DEAR bIR: AS the prosecution In the case of
Brown VS.. Davidson seem to think Mrs. Bad
din myth. II is possible / may be able to as
sist you in showing that such a person does
exist; that Is, II you are unable 10 prove the
fact.
The Mrs. Baddin have in mind may or may
not be the person wanted She is about 25 years
gated face; glib, but rather coarse tongue.
She has two children, and came from Seattle
not many months ago with the intention of re-
marrying, and in all proba bility has since
married, as she was a widow at that time,
Yours truly, ALFRED J. GLOBE
p. S.-Before going to Seattle, this Mrs. Bad
din lived in lodging-house on either Fourth
or Sixth street. At least she said so,
This Mrs. Baddin may not be the miss
ing woman in the Brown-Davidson case"
said Mr.. Clode last night, land 1 gave the
information to Mr.. Gallagher simply as
clew which he might follow up or not,
just as he pleased. The only interest I
have in the case is to see justice done to
all parties concerned. Mrs. Davidson
protests her innocence, and if that be true
and can aid her in substantiating the
fact then [ feel that it is my duty to do so.
On the other hand. if she is guilty she
should suffer.
Il was passenger on the steamer Una
tilla from Seattle last July. On the trip
down l met woman who told me her
name was Mrs. Baddin. She had two
children with her. She said she lived III a
clearinghouse at Fourth and Mission
streets in San Francisco and had been
visiting friends in Tacoma. She also told

MRS. THURSTON TALKS.
Goes Into Minute Details Concern
ing the BroWn-Overman-
Davidson Case.

Mrs. c. f. Thurston of Oakland is prob
ably the only woman who knows the
whole trnth concerning the scandal in
which Rev. c. Q. Brown and Miss Over
man are involved. Last night she con-
sented to tell the facts to THE CALL rep
resentative and her story Will no doubt
prove a revelation to everybody on this
coast, where the various parties are so well
known.
Mrs. Thurston IS woman beyond re-
proach and is of middle age. She has,
with her husband, been engaged in active
evangelical work in this State for many
years. From Eureka to San Diego Mr..
and Mrs. Thurston are known as models
of uprightness and as earnest Christians.
Scores of ministers and thousands OF rem
utable people would be only too willing to

KNEW MRS. TUNNEL.
That Lady's Former Landlady Does
Not Feel Kindly Toward


The keeper of the lodging-house at 1872
Tenth street, who is said to be leader
among the spirltualists, has had dealings
with Mrs. Tunnel and speaks most volubly
and unfavorably of her. In reply to the
question whether she knew either the
missing woman or Miss Overman she said
yesterday:
"Know them? Well, have known them
all l want TO. 1 have had enough ofthem."
Where did you know them?"

"BROWN SHOULD RESIGN"
Faith of Leading Members of the
Congregation In Their Pastor
Now WaVering.

The Brown-Davldson scandal has shaken
the First Congregational Church to the
very foundation
DR.. Browns friends still cling to the
hope that he may be able to clear himself
of the charges in rebuttal made by both
Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Stockton, but the
great mass of the congregation IS waver-
ing in its faith in the man who ministered
to their spiritual welfare. The majority of
STOCK stood with him when he caused
the arrest of Mrs. Davidson. But when
the Stockton affair was sprung, and the
declaration made that he had been black
mailed by another woman of a still larger
sum of money than Mrs. Davidson had
been paid, why that was another story
And it was then that the faith of the most
sanguine began to weaken.
Now the sacred house is divided against
itself. Mutterings are heard that are not
complimentary to the pastor and the sug-
gestion has been made that he should re-
sign rather than that dark cloud should
continue to hang over the church to which
the congregation is so justly devoted.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, whose noble life
work in San Francisco is so generally
known and widely appreciated, and who
is leading mem Der of DR.. Browns church,
is deeply touched by the scandal. She was
asked yesterday as to the rumored resig-
nation of DR.. Brown from the pastorate
of the First Congregational Church. She
said:
The resignation of DR.. Brown was
spoken of some four months ago, but 1
have heard nothing of it since this scan
dial broke out. 1t would have been a great
blessing to all II he had resigned at that time
In my opinion DR.. Brown has acted very I'M
wisely in this affair. AS 1 understand it from
his evidence in court, he paid this money to
Mrs. Davidson in order to entrap her The
money was paid and receipt demanded in
order that indisputable evidence OF Mrs.

The Manufacturing South.

From Philadelphi2 Stcckholder.
4 New England manufacturer. in this
city yesterday, just returned from the
south. stated to a representative of The
Stockhol Ter that is visit there was with
a vi.w 10 locate mills. He added:
I'VE I'm New England are very much i'm
pressed with the faVorins conditions in the
south for manufacturing of various kinds.
notably of cotton products. The erection
of mills is going on there constantly-d
fact some time overlooked In the east. This
suggests that the south Is likely to be
PROSPEROUS within the next few years on Il
more pronounced scale than ever before.
The manufacture Ct coarse goods is
sneciaItv i'm the south. which has an ad-
vantage over New England in the cost of
goods from one and one-half to two cents a
uound AS yet the southern mills do not
manufacture enough goods to supply the
American trade, but quite sufficient to NAL Ike
the price. Not only cotton mills. but steel
mills and other manufacturing plants are
being erected there. and indications are not
lacking that that section may in due
course wrest from New England its pres
ent supremacy in the matter Of manu-
factures."

The device referred to is so simple and
