14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 1896. DR, BROWN WILL PREACH TO-DAY, His Victory Over Mrs. Davidson Gives Him Courage. MUST STAND TRIAL. Prominent Church Members Will Demand an Investigation at Once. MRS. DAVIDSON GOES TO JAIL. Still in a Cheerful Frame of Mind—Mrs. Tunnell and the Overman Letters. ement last night the pulpit of the al Church to-day. According to his Dr. Brow First Congregati His temporary victory over Mrs. David- son has given him renewed courage, and on this Sabbath morning he will rise triumphantly over the prostrate form of his accuser. The doctor feels that his honor in a great measure has been retrieved and his character vindicated. The deacons, who compose the governing power of the church, are still with him. This factis very encouraging to him. It inspires him to hold his head up, look his congregation square in the face and pro- claim his innocence to the world. In the meanwhile there is a strong une dertow of feeling against him. This feel- ing has spread very rapidly since the com- itment of Mrs. Davidson. Talk of an in- vestigation is now heard for the first time. It is pointed and convincing and shows that the people are earnest in the matter. It is claimed that the interests of the church demand an investigation, and at 1ce. *“If the church does not investigate Dr. Brown, Dr. Brown should demand an in- vestigation,” said W. J. Dutton, trustee of the First Congregational Church, yes- terday. *“The interests of the church and public demand that an investigation should be held,” declared Dr. Jonathan T. McDonald. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and other promi- nent members of the First Congregational Church have already gone on record as favoring an investigation, even demand- ing the resignation of the pastor. Anyway, Dr. Brown will preach to-day. While he is exhorting his hearers to follow in the footprints of the Savior the gray- haired old lady who so readily accepted his shekels will be communing in a lonely cell at the big white building out on the San Bruno road. SR e AT THE BRANCH JAIL. opinion Mrs. Davidson Removed From the City Prison—Talks of Mrs. Tunnell. Mrs. Davidson has apartments at the branch County Jail. Her departure from the City Prison at noon yesterday was without display. She rode out in the prison van. There were other prisoners in the somber-covered vehicle with her. She paid no heed to them, but, clasping her Bible and her handbag tightly, she calmly looked into space and graciously submitted to the inevitable. Mrs. Davidson was indeed herself. In many respects she is a remarkable woman. She is much more cheerful in her lonely prison cell in her failure to establish her innocence than Dr. Brown is in his temporary vindication. She smiles while the pastor frowns; she fattens while he fails. She is either a martyr to con- ditions or a hypocrite of the first magni- tude; a spotless Christian or a dangerous swindler. She can act any orall of these parts with equal proficiency. She is suffi- ciently clever to sing, pray or scheme at the same time; or, as the poet writes: “In penance planning sins anew This is Mrs. Davidson, the motherly appearing old woman, gray, handsome, eloguent, the woman who either black- mailed Dr. Brown or is the innocent victim of circumstances, who went to prison yes- terday with an unyielding faith in the mercy ana justice of the Lord and a firm belief in her ultimate acquittal. Mrs. Davidson, of course, is not con- cerned over the statement of Mrs, Tunnell, telegraphed from Visalia, and to the effect that the Overman-Tunnell letters were forged by her. There is no similarity in the handwriting of Mrs. Davidson and Mrs, Tunnell, “It’s absura for Mrs. Tunnell to cry ‘forgery,’” said Attorney Gallagher yes- terday, “and it only weakens her case.” Of course the letters are genuine. That is n;»parent to the dullest brain. How cotld Mrs. Davidson forge them? She has been in jail ever since her arrest, and not having the slightest idea of being arrested 1t is ridiculous to think that she wrote the let- ters to build up a defense. Anyway, Mrs. Tunnell virtually admits that Mattie Over- man wrote the letters, as at first glance she said the handwriting was Mattie's, and then when she slept on the letters all night and familiarized herself with the contents she denied their authenticity. That was her play. She wants to shield Dr. Brown and Miss Overman.” “My acquaintance with Mrs. Tunnell was very slight,” said Mrs. Davidson yester- day. We met at the Alien meetings, Dr. Brown introduced us. I also met Miss Overman at che same time. Mrs. Tunnell and Mattie were greatdriends. Dr. Brown said Mrs. Tunnell was a very good woman. ““After the few slight conversations I had with Mrs. Tunnell at the Allen meetings I did not see her until her return from Ta- coma. This was in May, and Mrs. Tun- nell went to Tacoma in January or Febru- ary, remaining three months. In May I met her and we walked a little way to- getber. Iasked Mrs. Tunnell to dine with me, but she did not. She spoke of Mattie, saying she had been a poor, sick girl, Alfterward, I think it was Admission day, September 9, Mrs. Tunnell spent a day with Miss Overman at my rooma. ““Then Mattie lost sight of kerand was uneasy. But the woman called at my rooms between December 5 and 10. Mat- tie was at school, and Mrs. Tunnell asked whether Dr. Brown was puymg her regu- larly, and whether he ailowed the poor girl to visit him. I replied that he did ay regularly, as he had paid the §35 to attie twice and to me three times. I told her, too, that the girl did visit Dr. Brown’s office, but that he objected. “This is all I ever saw of Mrs. Tunnell. Now as to what I said to the woman: Dr, Brown bad sent for me one day and urged me to keep Martha, as he always called her, away. He said she had come to the office the night before and stayed there, crying, very late. I know this was true, for she had been out late, and though she had seid nothing, I observed that the silk trimming of her dress was stained with tears and mussed up. *Dr. Brown said he feared scandal and wanted the girl keptaway. I spoke to her and she admitted going, saying she had never been so abused in her life. I urged her to keep away, and she said she was hypnotized and could not. At this inter- | view Dr. Brown told me he must leave San Francisco, and would either 2o to Phila- | delphia or Brooklyn. Itold him I knew Philadelphia people well, and thought there were people who would send reports from here. “Long after this, though, Dr. Brown | spoke again of going to Philadelphia, and | said if he could he would get $7000 a year. | He said he could get one of his rich trus- | tees to advance him $2500 and he would give an order on his salary in return. He asked me if this Mrs. Badden would take this $2500 as a final payment and not trouble him further, and I was to see what could be done in the matter. “He talked at the interview I spoke of first of going to Brooklyn, and I warned him there was a highroad between here | and there. ‘Well’ said he, ‘I must go | someswhere, and I think I had better go out | in the midnight hour. Icould go to my | son, herd cattle there with him, and be | buried from the world.” I told Dr. Brown | I aoubted it, and he said one thing was | certain, and that was he must leave San | Francisco, and must leave it soon.” ‘ e MUST STAND TRIAL. Charges Against Dr. Brown WIll| Be Investigated by the Church. The fact that Dr. Brown will defy public | opinion, as well as the pronounced expres- | sions of certain prominent members of | his congregation, and re-enter the pulpit | of the First Congregational Church to- | pastor without the slightest hesitation,’” replied Mr. Dutton. r. Jonathan 1. McDonald said: “The officers and members of the First Congregational Church are somewhat reti- cent about expressing their views. There are several reasons for their silence, Probably it is because we feel mortified over this whole affair and have not for- gotten that only a few months ago there was a wide breach among the congrega- tion owing to M. Strauss, the artist, having written a letter cri ng Deacen I. H. Morse. His only offense was that he remarked that Morse was aspiring to be ‘boss’ of the church. For this Strauss was excommunicated from the church. He was restored, however, a week later. “Ido not speak authoritatively as I am not an officer of the church, but it is my opinion that there will be an investigation into the charges of alleged unbecoming conduct against the pastor. I do not see how it can be avoided, since public opinion seems to demand it. “For my part I consider the interests of the church paramount to the interests of any individual. We must protect these inferests. ““We cannot afford to pass this unfortu- nate affair over in silence. The people are looking to the church officials to act, and 1 presume they will do so at the proper time.” Rev. John Kimball excused himself when the reporter called at his home at 132 McAllister street last night. Mr. Kim- ball’s views on the question of an inve: gation will be read with much interest by the publ Therzfore the following from the Examiner of January 8 is reprinted: The Rev. John Kimball is a prominent mem- ber of the First Congregational Church, and is also editor of the Congregational organ, The Pacific. In speaking of the Mattie Overman letters he said: “I have read these letters, and 1 must say that they putabad light on the conduct of Dr. Brown, “Whether or not an in- vestigation will result I don’t know, but if there is one I believe that it might be best to place itin the hands of the Bay Conference of Congregational Churches, which meets next Monday. ““This conference is composed of clergymen of our denominstion, and it would be proper for them to 1avestigate any charges involving MRS. DAVIDSON ENTERING OUT FOR THE [Sketched by a THE PRISON VAN PREPARATORY COUNTY JAIL., “Call” artist.] TO SETTING day, has aroused the indiegnation of his old-time opponents, and a church in- vestigation will doubtless be the ontcome. | Dr. Brown made many enemies because of his attacks on Professor Herron, and, later, in ousting Deacon Strauss from the church. These enemies have been silent during the scandal in the past. But now that Dr. Brown seems determined to act as their spiritual guide they are preparing to take some steps looking to an investigation. There is a large body in the congrega- tion which asserts that Dr. Brown volun- tarily made the blackmailing a worldly matter when he took it to the courts. If he had laid Mrs. Davidson’s attempt at ex- tortion before the officers of his church, and had demanded advice and counsel from them instead of paying the money, the public would have had no concern in the matter. But these church members say that it was Dr. Brown who challenged this fierce light of publicity, and since it has come they do not shirk a thorough investiga- tion. Outside the officers of the church there is a strong body of church members hold- ing these views. They say they feel tnat every onein the congregation isaffected by the slurs cast on the pastor, and that the only remedy is to wipe away the insinua- tions, or else, if the slurs are proved to be true, to compel a change in the pastorate. With these objects in view quiet but de- termined steps are being taken to hold an investigation. The members of the flock who ask for a thorough sifting of the charges against Dr. Brown are making arrangements to hold a preliminary meet. ing to discuss the best course to be taken. It is not intended to hold any jud court of inquiry or to summon the pastor to a tribunal. The church members who want an investigation will consider, in as Christian and friendly a spirit as possible to the pastor, how they can best get at the truth of the Overman and Stockton stories, The mere fact of this investigation being planned implies a feeling which is not one of entire confidence in Dr. Brown. A proof of this feeling was given last Wednesday at the prayer-meeting held at the church. It had not been expected that the pastor would be preseat, and when it was discovered that he was, a number of | ladies and one or two gentlemen withdrew from the meeting. 5 ‘W. J. Dutton, a trastee of the First Con- gregational Church, said: 1 certainly believe that there should be an investigation of these charges of mis- conductagainst Dr, Brown. 1f theinvesti- gation is not made by the congregation 1 think Dr. Brown owes it to himself, his family and tne church to demand it. *Tnese charges against the pastor are of a very serious nature. He says he will come forward at the proper time and ex- plain hhdposition to the satisfaction of all concerned. 1 earnestly hope he can. Until the doctor has been heard I will not pass upon his guilt or innocence. *‘Dr. Brown occupies a high place as pastor of the First Congregational Church, and I should be loath to believe him guilty of all these charges until his guilt bas been established beyond all doubt be- fore the proper tribunal of the church.” “And in case his guilt is established, Mr. Dutton?” “Then the First Congregational Church will dispense with Dr. Brown’s services as 1 op: the standin; % of a brother clergyman. Dr. Brown should certainly be glad to have an ortunity to answer the charges which are being made against him. 0 far as Mrs. Davidson is concerned, regard- less of Dr. Brown, I believe that she is a person | in whom I can have littie confidence. "When she first came to the church I thought well of her, and she came to my Bible-class a number of {imes until she took a class of her own. During that me I was favorably impressed, and never saw anything out of the way in her conduct.” | . Deacons Dexter, Hatch, Vasconcellosand | Bernard are still championing the cause of Dr. Brown. Deacon Dexter is a cousin of Mrs. Browu. L SHE IS A HYPOCRITE. What Mrs. Thurston Says of Mrs. Tunneli and Her Startling Statements. Mrs. Thurston expressed great surprise vesterday at Mrs. Tunnell’s letter, pub- lished in THE CALL. “It looks to me like the work of a hypocrite,” she said. “In this letter Mrs. Tunnell pretends complete ignorance of the Overman-Brown episode. I do not see how she can do that withont great hypocrisy, for she talked the affair over with me and then she knew all about it. “The more I think over Mrs. Tunnell’s sudden and mysterious ignorance on a subject that she was once so well posted upon, the more I become convinced that it has been made worth her while to know nothing of Dr. Brown’srelations with Mat- tie Overman. ‘‘Any one who has talked the thingover with Mrs. Tunnell as I have would have no difficulty in reading the hypocrisy be- tween the lines of that letter. ~She spoke the truth in her first interview with a CALL reporter when she was taken una- wares. After she had had a night to think it over and reflected which way her interes® lay, Mrs. Tunnell decided that the leiters were forgeries. It took a long time for her to make up her mind, and her letter bears the impress of hypocrisy.” J. Knudson, whom Mrs. Tunnell stig- matized 1n her letter as “‘another wolf in sheep’s clothing,” had a very simple rea- son to offer yesterday for that lady’s animosity. “I refused to keep Mrs. Tunnell at the restaurant, 1917 Mission street,” he said. ‘‘She interfered with my work, and I had to get rid of her. [ suppose spite for her dismissal mduced her to hint that she could have put me behind the bars with Mrs. Davidson. The threat is made out of whole cloth.” Mrs. Dray, the landlady at 1041 Mission street, now claims that Mrs. Turnell never brought any clothes to her house. Taken in conjunction with her former anxiety at Mrs. Tunnell not sending for a change of clothes after her disappearance, this sud- den change of mind is held to be signifi- cant. It will be remembered that in a statement published last Thursday week Mrs. Dray expressed’alarm that Mrs. Tun- nell had not sent for a change of gAr- ments. In her first interview with a CALL re- porter, when Mrs. Tunnell was informed of the publication of Mattie Overman’s letters, she exclaimed “my trunk must have been broken open.” Mrs. Dray now asserts, however, that not only no trunk, but no clothes were left at her house. WINCHESTERS AND BULLETS, Shooting Down the Tele- graph Wires to the Poolrooms. GAMBLERS ARE ROUTED. They Strung Miles of Telegraph Line During Friday Night. SHADOWED BY DETECTIVES. They Propose Having a Captive Bal- loon to Get News From the Ingleside Track. The threatening bark of the Winchester rifle entered materially yesterday into the controversy which has been going along for the past few weeks between the Pacific Coast Jockey Club Association and the downtown poolroom keepers, Nobody was killed, but this fortunate result was dependent only on the fact that the gamblers were unprepared for the at- tack made on their stronghold whence they wired the news of the Ingleside track races into the City. When the Jockey Club’s meeting began last Thursday, and the gamblers were not permitted to use either the telephone or telegraph wires at the track so as to get their odds, entries, jockeys, weights and results, they devised many means to cir- cumvent the prohibition. Principally they employed boys on bicycles to race from the track to the nearest telephone stations with the desired information, which was immediately sent over the wires to the downtown rooms. The service was imper- fect, but still it was the best that could be done until other means could be provided. The wise men of the “‘Big Eight,” which organization of pool-sellers has plenty of money in its coffers, were dissatisfied be- cause the tardiness in receiving news pre- vented their customers from wagering their money more than once in a day, from the fact that the bettor's money being once placed remained inactive until the result of the race was learned. This result coming in after all the races were about over was, therefore, too late for further speculation. It was then that the poolmen rose to the magnitude of the emergency. The nearest telegraph station to the track is at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets—a mile and a half from the race- course—and it was decided that the best move to be made would be to bring that station closer to the scene of action, or else estabiish a connecting line which could be reached more rapidly. Money and men were plenty, and, without the formality of obtaining a franchise or even informing the proper authorities as to their intent or right to act, the poolmen purchased the necessary telegraph poles and wire and set out a score of men on Friday night plant- ing poles and stretching wire over the property of people unknown to them, so that when the races began at 2 o’clock yes- terday afternoon they had a service of their own. The western terminal of the impromptu line was on the hillside just east of Ingle- side track, not more than a few hundred yards from the main_entrance. There an ex-employe of the Western Union Com- pany, whose name is Emley worked a portable “ticker,” and at the other end of the line another ex-employeof the com- pany, named Patterson, received Emley’s messages. The poolmen had arranged another con- nection between the racetrack proper and Emley by paying the admission to the track of a dozen lads whnose duty it was to hurry from the course with the odds on the races as posted at the track books and with the results of the races, a couple of kids working this way for each race. After leaving the track with the much- needed information, it took but a few min- utes to reach Emley, who kept his partner informed, and in that way the poolrooms were kept as well informed of all occur- rences as if they were using the Jockey Club’s leased wire. The members of the “Big Eight*’ combi- nation were all smiles when they opened their rooms for business in the afternoon. They felt sure that they had outwitted Edward Corrigan and that there was noth- ing more to interfere with their business until the courts could decide on the ap- peals taken from the lower courts, where they bad been found guilty of violating the Ellert ordinance against making books outside of a racetrack. The odds and result of the first race came in splendidly. There wasnota hitch and the presumption was that the remain- ing races would be equally well reported. In the meantime, however, while the poolmen were making all their arrange- ments for posts, wires and operators, Cap- tain Jules Callundan of Harry Morse’s Patrol had four men out looking up their doings. In this way the Jockey Club was kept informed of what was going on and, although Mr. Corrigan said last night he did not know what more was_intended by the detectives until it was all over with, the transmission of news was brought to a sudden stop. The four Morse men, among whom was ex-Police Officer Allen, dropped in on Emiley in his improyised office and de- manded the surrender of his machine. To this demand he demurred and immedi- ately wired in to Jerry Driscoll, relating what had occurred. The answer came quickly: - ‘‘Give up nothing. You are working on a private wire, and if they interfere with your business they will lay themselves amenable to the law. Inform them of this fact.” This had the effect of stopping proceed- ings for a little while, and the four detect- ives marched down the road a bit to have some quiet little Winchester rifte practice. There is no range in that section of the 00thills and birds are scarce, so they used a~elegraph pole as a target. Although all of the men are known to be_good shots, they appear to have been suffering just then from nervousness, for they were remarkably inaccurate in hit- ting the vpole. Instead, however, they shattered the glass insulators on the poles and their bullets cut a wire or two, com- Elezely isolnliug Mr. Emery on the foot- ills from his partner, Patterson, at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets. That is why the poolrooms failed to get returns after the first race. The bookies are wild now at what they deem to be a most horrible outrage and a trespass upon the rights of property-own- ers. They threaten all manner of ven- geance. It seems that in their wild shooting the detectives unintentionally cut a wire of the Postal Telegraph Company, and this fact may bring about complications. Between this hour and the time the races begin Monday afternoon the pool- men propose to have some other system of getting the news from the track. One of the methods sucgested by Blodes, the “King of the Newsboys,’” who was ar- rested recently for running a poolroom where women only could play, is that the captive balloon and balloonist who some months ago were at Central Park be em- ployed, and an ascension lasting all the afternoor: be made daily just outside of the racecourse. I will put an operator in the basket,” Blodes explained, “and with a wire run- ning from there and a powerful field- glass, I con’t see who can prevent us from getting all the news we want.” The little fat fellow laughed heartily at the cleverness of his idea to circumvent the machinations of Mr. Corrigan to stop his business. “But I'll not go up in it,” he added, after some deliberation. “I'm too heavy.’’ When Blodes’ idea was mentioned " to Mr. Corrigan he smiled. . “What's to prevent some one from send- ing a bullet through the balloon?’ he asked. At all events this fight against the pool- rooms has had one good result. Only the larger rooms are running now. The small fry who ran places where women and boys wera permitted to gamble have all closed doors. The “Beliry”’ at the gore of Market and Ellis streets, where no less than seven of these dens held forth at the beginning of this week, is now deserted and in gloom. The case of Gilbert Blodes, proprietor of the poolrooms on Ellis street patronized by ladies, came up for hearing in Judge Joachimsen’s court vesterday. He was defended by Attorney Lennon. After the arresting officers had given their evidence Attorney Lennon raised a number of objections to the testimony. Although the sign at the entrance of the poolrooms bore the name Blodes & Co., he argued that it had rot been proved that Blodes was a partner. Another objection was that it had not been proved that races were running at the time of tbe alleged violation of the ordinance. The case was continued till to-morrow, when argument on the objections will be heard. G. W. Statler of the Northern Pacific Railroad swore out a warrant on Friday tfor the arrest of Albert Reinert, stenog- rapher in the office of the general Irexgfi! agent, on the charge of grand larceny, He is alleged to have stolen a tyvewriter valued at $100, which he pawned for $9. He left the office last Thursday and has not been seen since. Reinert’s downfall is attributed to the poolrooms. Eviry month he spent his wages in patronizing these places and bor- rowed money from his friends to such an extent that he saw no means of repay- ing it. Reinert was formerly employed in the office of the Rio Grande Western Railroad and was engaged in the office of the Northern Pacific only for the past two months. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES, Rev.

Many a woman bundles herself up, puts on heavy clothing and wraps and furs to keep out the cold— to keep out sickness —when she is neg- lecting the very worst sickness that can come to a wo- man. She is allow- ing a slight disorder to grow, to become ‘worse, to slowly and surely sap her vital- ity. ‘The little pain and the other slight indications of trouble seem to her unimportant. She pays no attention to them. By and by they grow a little worse, but she is used to them then 5 and takes them as a matter of conrse. By and by, they have grown into dragging pains that occasion- ally keep herin the house—that occasionally put her to bed.
