at the Church Court.
WAS GAY WITH MISS OtERMAN
Wanted the EorgetfuI Lady TO Help Him
to Abandon Hts shady
Ways.

San Franc SEQ, Feb. 26.-To the dis
appointment Of hundreds of people who
attended the Brown trial before the
Congregational council today. it was
announced that the attorney for Mrs.
Mary A. Davidson would not allow his
client to appear before the church
court until her trial before the superior
court is concluded. The alleged extor-
toner was to have confronted Brown
this afternoon. but the council and the
curious public had to pc content with
the reading of her testimony as given
at the preliminary examination Mrs.
DaVidson's testimony was read in all
its details, recounting her connection
with Brown, Miss Overman and the
First Congregational church.
Mrs. Davidson stated that after No
vember %, when Brown paid her $500,
the pastor visited her Bible class and
commended her as a teacher The state
ment related that Brown said to Mrs
Davidson: Il have an unlawful love
for Matte Overman and l appeal to
you TO help me-"
This statement continues. CDR
Brown said his last criminal inter
lodging house at Bryant and Sixth
streets. He has admitted that he had
been guilty before but not since that
time"
The witness Mrs. Davidson lectured
Brown on his faults and the minister
then told the story of his entire career.
in which he confessed that among his
faults had been child-murder. Mrs.
Davidson suggested that Brown meet
Mrs Baddin, who was cognizant of his
liasion with Miss Overman, but Brown
said he I'D not want to meet her or any
other woman and asked the witness to
arrange the difficulty for him The
witness then agreed to settle with Mrs.
Baddin for the minister and took the
money as his agent.
Brown then read the cross-examfna-
ton in the police court when Mrs. Da-
wilson developed extraordinary defects
of memory. She did not remember
whether she had borne child had ever
been arrested or had ever assumed
other names than Davidson. Brown
read Mrs. Davidson's denials that she
had ever been in Jail according to her
recollection. and said he would present
the records of the Massachusetts court
to show that she served term in iail
in that state.
At the evening session Mrs Thurston
of Oakland was on the stand. Mrs
Thurston related matters that had been
confided to her by Mrs. Tunnel con-
corning the relations of Brown and
Miss Overman.
A TROUBLOUS SESSION.
The night session nearly broke up In
a row. DIR. Brown accused the moder-
ator and the council of prejudice
against him and Of taking an unfair
of him. He declared that he
would refuse to go on with the council
Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1896-03-04

as he was convinced he could not secure
fair treatment.
Miss Overman, who was present
burst into tears and Browns friends
crowded to his side. The moderator
demanded to know in what respect he
had been unfair and wordy wrangle
ensued.
DR.. Brown finally apologized for his
language and order was restored. Mrs
Thurston proved to be a damaging wit
ness against Brown. She said that Miss
Overman had told her that DR.. Brown
had sent her to Tacoma and paid her
expenses as Mrs. Brown would not have
her in the house. Miss Overman had
told Mrs. Thurston that DR.. Brown had
squeezed her hand and kissed her.
The council will go on with the in
vestigation tomorrow.

VAN HoRNE-TARsNEY CONTEST
Probability That the Republican VIII
Gain His Seat.


Washington, Feb 26--The Van Horne
Tarsney contested election case, from
the Fifth Missouri district, occupied
the attention of the house today. The
contestee, Mr. Tarsney, in his own be-
half maintained that the fraud commit
ted in Kansas City was perpetrated not
in his interest or that Of the contestant,
but in the interest of certain local can
didates on both tickets. He produced a
telegram he had received last night
saying two of the judges OF election in
one of the wards yesterday turned
states evidence and had testified that
400 fraudulent ballots had been pre-
pared by the conspirators and cast, but
that they were equally divided between
the contestant and the contestee.. This
showed. he argued, that the truth was
being developed and could be made
available for the benefit of the commit
tees If the case was recommitted.
Two republicans, Messrs Powers Of
Vermont and Parker of New Jersey
opposed the report OF the majority Of
the committee to seat the contestant.
The other speakers were Messrs. Burton
of Missouri, Kyle of Mississippi and
Price of Illinois. The vote on the case
will occur tomorrow. Although there Is
considerable detection on the republi-
can side to the minority recommends
ton. that the case shall be recommit-
ted and the testimony reopened, the in
dieations are that the majority report
will be adopted.

outlined at length the plan he had pro-
posed for a settlement of the debt Of
that road. His plan is to use the sinking
fund, amounting to $4,000, 000 for the
Central. and 100000 for both roads,
to meet the first of the bonds, some of
which are largely overdue, to give the
government Cougar per cent income
bonds for accrued interest paid by the
government, and fund government
bonds as they become due In first mort
gage Az per cents, Government bonds
bear 6 per cent interest. This PROPOSE
ton involves the extension of the first
mortgage Indebtedness as the govern
ment bonds are taken ur The question
whether the extension of the first mort
gage Indebtedness would prejudice
amounting to $4,000, O0O was raised,
but General Hubbard affirmed that 1t
could be done.
As to the question whether govern
ment bondholders would accept Az per
cent of the first mortgage bonds when
6 per cent government bonds became
due General Hubbard said the bond
holders could be convinced that the Sc
curity was ample. The earnings dur
ing the past two years of the financial
depression had been SO 900 900, while the
interest charges were but 81, 500, 600. IN
ordinarily prosperous years there would
