CALLED HIM A LIAR
REV. DIR. BROWN LOST HIS TEMPER
AT MRS. DAvIDsON'S TRIAL
And Denounced the Woman's Attor-
ney-Sentiment Divided as to
the Preachers Guilt.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4.-The prelimi-
nary examination of Mrs. Mary Davidson on
the charge of extorting $500 from Rev. c.
o. Brown, pastor OF the First Congrega-
tional Church, was resumed to-day in the
police court. The room was crowded with
church workers and friends of the princi-
pals in the case the women spectators be-
ing in the majority. DIR. Brown testified
on cross-examination that he did not know
Mrs. Baddin, and did not know whether
any part. of the $500 went to Mrs. Baddin,
but said the ostensible object in paying the
money was to silence Mrs. Baddins tongue
Police detective Seymour, who arrested
Mrs. Davidson, testified that Mrs. Davidson
had admitted receiving the money and that
she had signed the receipt admitted in evil
dence. The defendant had explained to the
detective that the receipt was for the pur-
pose OF preventing the Baddin woman from
worrying DR.. Brown.
The prosecution here announced its testi-
mony closed, and the defense asked that
the charge be dismissed, claiming that the
money had been paid 10 Mrs. Davidson for
Mrs. Baddin, and that the defendant in
stead of being a blackmailer, had acted as
the pastors friend and agent. The motion
for a dismissal OF the charge was denied.
DR.. Brown was again on the stand when
the afternoon session of police court ex-
animation of Mrs. Davidson was COM
menced. The attorney for the defense
asked the witness long list of questions
relating to his intimacy with Miss Over
man, and inquiring as 10 his guilt. On the
instructions of his attorney DR.. Brown re-
fused to answer all questions bearing on
his guilt or innocence Of the alleged in
trigue, and the court sustained the prosecu-
tons objections to the character of the
cross-examination. The minister was tor
tured and goaded by the defense. and was
finally asked IL he had not confessed to CIV
ing both TO Miss Overman and TO his wife a
drug TO produce miscarriage. Dr. Brown
could not contain himself at this, and
sprang at Mrs. Davidson's attorney, shout
ing:
"You are an infamous man. 1t is liet'
The clergyman's attorney said he would
knock the attorney for the defense down
If he were in his place, but officers of the
court intereNred to prevent violence be-
tween the excited opponents.
Dr. Brown will not preach Tomorrow,
his pulpit being occupied during the trial
by a theological professor. The sentiment
among the members OF his church is said
TO be less favorable to the minister than
when the first reports or the scandal were
announced A strong section of the con-
gregation is said to favor forcing DR..
Browns resignation. An ecclesiastical
court of inquiry is likely TO follow Mrs.
Dayidson's trial, whether or not she is con-
victed of blackmail.
