There are | many peculiar phases connected with Mrs. | Stockton’s stay in the church of which no | n has yet been taken. For instance why didMrs. Brown object to Mrs.Stockton's be- coming a member of the choir two months after that lady had joined the church, when some months later, I think it was in May, she demanded that Mrs. French ac- cept her as a participant in tne Turkish tea? Deacon I. H. Morse returned from Bos- ton last night, where he has been for some | weeks past looking up the record of Mary | A. Davidson. e finds that she hasa brother connected with the Fire Depart- | ment ot Boston who, when asked if he had | | a sister by the name of Davidson, replied Yes, sheis a very devil.” Mr. Morse has certified copies of her Eastern record, which he will submit to the council at its | next session. S 0 There was an interesting little tilt| between Dr. Brown and Miss Hattie Cooper | 'at the close of Friday’s session of the | council. . “‘We only made one mistake to-day, Dr. Brown,” said Miss Cooper. “Yes, and what was that?” inquired the | reverend gentleman. | *That we did not have an officer here to | arrest Miss Overman on & charge of con- ] spiracy the moment she stepped from the witness-stand.” | At Wednesday’s sessicn of the council | Judge Advocate Woodbems said Mrs. | Davidson bad been forbidden by her attor- | ney, George A Knight, to appear as a| witness. Itappears now, howerver, that| | this statement was made without the | suthority of the alleged blackmailer. She | declares that no one has requested her | presence before the council, thougn she | voluntarily came on one or two occasions, | hoping to be called. She is perfectly | willing to appear at any time provided she | receives three hours’ notice. Rev. Mr. Rader has the matter in hand, and will see to it that Mrs. Davidson gives her state- | ment before the case is finally closed. | Mrs. Stockton does not feel as kindly | toward Dr. Brown as she did before his | vigorous attack on her character on Fri- dzy night. *Dr. Brown,” she said, “shouid tuke off the Grand Ammy button | he displays so proudly. He should fight | like a soldier and not stab a person in the . back, particularly if that person happens ! tobe a woman. I do not see why he is| permitted to make these cha; against me, but if it was right he certainiy abused the chance shamefunlly. I declare most | emphatically that not one of the charges he made against me are true. If I had dreamed that he dared do such a thing I should certainiy have been there. I wonder if Dr. Brown remembers the peculiar manner in which he baptized me. After 1 joined the church he asked me if I had been baptized. I told him I| bad not. He then asked me to come up to | the study after the morning service and he would perform the ceremony. I went up, | and while we were talking very pleasantly Deacon Vasconcellos opened the door and came in. He was surprised and embar- rassed and got no further than the thres- hold.

Her eyes look heavy and weary as though from tearsand | the mouth looks pinched and drawn. Al- together, Miss Overman bas quite a de- jected air and seems to feel keenly the featful position in which she has volun- tarily placed herseif. Howerer, the young lady declares with much earnestness that she will stand the fire of the cross-exam ination when called on to go throughn this { ordeal.

Nor can I remainan indefinite length of time waiting to testify. A deal of red tape has to be employed in order to get me out of my present lode- ings. Hence you may easily perceive that I must be summoned by the council for a certain prearranged hour, and with at least three bours of anticipation in order to be able to attend at all. And besidesa Sheriff's officer must accompany me and Temain with me all the while. The state- ment that I have refused or am unwilling to testily before the council is unirue, though, candi speaking, I can see no reason for so doing.” “Bat, Mrs. Raaer, “‘what we desire is to getatthe truth, and you may be able to aia us very materially.” *Of course I will go if called, that isif I am sllowed,” resumed Mrs. Davidson. “Mr. Knight has never advised me to re- fuse to tectify, and sometimes it seems as though 1 cught to go.

My idea_would be to get atthe substantial facts in Miss Overman’s testimony and prove them false by direct evidence to the consrary. This wouid cast discredit upon her entire testimony and clearly show its unreliable character.” “Can you count upon any corroborative testimony 7’ asked the conncil man. “‘As to that,'” answered Mrs. Davidson, “‘the confessions made to me by both the guilty parties were very private, and with- out witnesscs. Miss Overman acknowl- edged to me on the 10th of September, 1885, and Dr. Brown on the 21st of Novem- ber of the same year, that their relations bad been criminal. Dr. Brown with many tears assured me that he had been break- ing the seventh commandment again and again foralong term of years. I would have kept these things secret were it not that they have already become public. If Iam permitted I will go and give in my ustimm:'y whenever the council may =0 uest. 0 the question as to her opinion of Miss Overman’s testimony before the council, Mrs. Davidson gave answer in no uncer- tain sound. “Her statement is a tissue of lies,” =aid the old woman, in evident indignation. “She speaks of a plot wherein she and I conspired o blackmail Dr. Brown, but I never knew anything abovt such a plot. Miss Overman tried to sell the Chronicle a story in which the wrongs done her bL: distinguished man were to form the piot. On her return from the Chronicle c&o 1 Davidson,” remarked Mr. | | asked her whether she had sold her story. | | She answered that the Chrouicle people | had eaid they would see about it. ‘Then I | asked ber if she had given them her name, | { to which she answered in the negative. { _ *Dia you give them the man’s 'name? | { I then asked. | “*Oh, no,’ she answered; ‘I am not | quite so big & fool as that, Ifthe Chroni- | cle folks knew his name they would get | after him for money and fiil their own | | pockets, leaving me without a cent.’ +I then reminded her of a remark which { I had heard Dr. Brown make, to the effect | { that the Ckronicle buildin, {among business men as the ‘tower of{ silence.” Mattie then told me she bad | seen Mrs. Tunnell. Some time before Dr. | | Brown had told me that Mrs. Tunnell once | saved Mattie when in the very act of de- | stroying herself, and that Mattie had been | | very fond of her ever since. I asked Mat- | tie why she had wished to commit suicide, | but she refused to answer. | “The next day, I think it was, Mrs. | Tunnell and Miss Overman came to my | store. Mattie seemed exhausted. ‘The| mean thing!’ she exclaimed; ‘all he is going to give me is $35 a month, and hundreds would not begin to atone for ail the suffering that man has caused me. It tock Mrs. Tunnell to get even that wretched amount out of him. And now he expects me to_go to Heald's Business College.” Both Mattie and Mys. Tunneil seemed indignant st the distinguished | man’s parsimony. I said nothing. | **On the following morning Dr. Brown | | called and gave me $35 for Miss Overman. | | He said the amount was small, considering | | that she would attend Heald’s Business | | College, and asked me to let her have a room with me. Then, in an instant, I knew who the ‘distinguished man’ was. | I was shocked beyond all expression, and | could find nothing to say. The next day | | Mrs. Tunnell came to inquire whether | | Mattie had receivea ber money. She also | remarked that the amount was ridiculously { small, considering the mental and physicsl | | suffering which Mattie had been obliged | to endure by reason of Dr. Brown’s rela- | tions with her. | “Then I told Miss Overman what had passed. When I spoke of Dr. Brown's re- | quest that I accommodate her with a| | room, she flew into a terrible passion. ‘I | was known am in no need of a room,’ she cried, in | great indignation. ‘If I wished, I could | pack up my things and go to Dr. Brown's house. and they would not dare to Jeny me admittance. I have a better right there than Mrs. Brown herself, and if she | should attempt to bully me or intertere | | with me in any way whatever, I could say | | one word that would make her shut up her | ‘xinouxh and keep it shut for the rest of her ays.’ ““I next told her how Mrs. Baddin had informed me of the visit of Dr. Brown and Mattie to the lodging-house at the inter- | | section of Sixth and Bryant streets. Mat- tie broke down altogether and then told me the dreadful story of ber wron ‘doing. It was a terrible tale and I was quite pros- | trated by the mere hearing of it. I know | it is said there is no Mrs. Baddin, or thatI | |am she; but this 1s faise. Mrs..Baddin | came Lo me in November, asking for work. | ‘We met several times. When she told me of Dr. Brown and Mattie going to the ! Sixth-street lodging-house she said she would ‘threaten’ the pastor and in case he wou!d not pay her for silence she would publish the story to the world. That was on Tuesday, November 19. The next even- ing she came and wished me to 2o with her to see Dr. Brown, bat it being prayer- meeting night I prevailed upon her to postpone the visit. “The next aay, Thursday, I sent for Dr. Brown. When Isaw him Itold himall I bad heard. He fell to weeping most hit- terly, and amid his sobs n%t saying, ‘It's all “true, it’s all troe. e talked for severaljhours, and I reproached him with having pretended to confide his tempta- tions in me when all the while he was guilty of the mostdreadful crimes. ‘Not crimes,” he said, ‘only sins of weakness, I was sorely tempted. My home life has been sown with bitter trials, and many a time I have been tempted to gnv: Iumn, a ve looked him church and go with Mattie, committed no crime’ I I straight in the face and asked: ‘Dr.Brows, do you mean to say that child-murder is not a crime?” He made no answer. I then told him of Mrs. Baddin’s threats. He did not wish her to see him, and left the matter to me. “I advised him to make a full confes- sion of his sins before the deacons, resizn his_pastorate and commence life over again in some other part of the countr He left me, protesting thst the interview A DANGEROUS OPERATION, George Ebe’s Stomach Will Be Searched for a Half- Dollar. { had given him more_ pesce of mind and conscience than he had enjoyed for msny years.

He wept when he saw me, and cried out that he had wronged hissoul by a grievous | sin, and that there was no mercy for him. We prayed together for 8 while, and then ke sai ow, let us reason together, as the Bible recommends. A confession of my sin would wreck my family, scandal- | ize the church, and kill my oid father. I am reconsecrated to God and will begin s new life here in my pastorate. I have sworn o change my ways, and swear it again, o help me, God. It is necessary | now to be politic. I will pay this woman off, and no one wiil be any the wiser. I! can let her have $500 down, and $35 a month if she will keep quiet. I am pay- ing Mattie $35 a month now, and that’son | the same line.” “‘He then asked me to write 8 receipt for | $500 at his diciation, giving me s paper | with the church letter-hesa on it, which | be tore off. I1asked why Ishould write the receipt. He said he did not waat his name or writing to appear in the transac- tion and wished the receipt only ss a| memorandum for his own use. Whenl finished writing be took the receipt and | sealed it in an envelope on which he wrote his name and address, saying that he would put it among his papers in the Safe Deposit. At hatf-past 1 o’clock the fol- lowing morning Dr. Brown gave me $500, which I turned over to Mrs. Baddin. On Sunday, the next day, he said to me, ‘I | feel, at last, relieved and happy. This sad affair rests with God and you andme. I/ leave you to manage Mrs. Baddin.’ “*Since that time I have no knowledge of the whereabouts of Mrs. Baddin or of fim. Tuonnell. Inever knew Mrs. Tunnell well I know she went to Tscoma in March, 1895, and re- turned in May, bringing me s letter from Miss Overman, with a water-color painting of Sants Catalina Islands, which Mattia had painted forme. Poor Mattie'sabsence in Tacoma was directly due to the physical results of her intimacy. with Dr. Brown, and her health suffered severely. Dr. i Brown is no ordinary man. He is an sc- complished bypocrite, s veritable wolf in sheep’s clothing. “After paying me the money for Mrs. Baddin, while be was trying to railroad And now he has got his victim to sacrifice herself yet more oy lyinz and perjuring herself in his bebhalf. ‘Any child couid see through the aesperate trick. “Dr. Brown is a drowning man clutehing ata straw.

Will Be Employed Upon Patients at the Germaa Hospital. An extrsordinary snd very dangerons operation will be performed upon & patient st the German Hospital to-morrow mom- ing by Dr. Jobn F. Morse. This 1s noth- ing less than cutting an incision through the abdominal cavity to the stomack and probing around for s silver half dolisrthat ‘was swallowed by the patienttendsyssgo. George Ebe’s ailment is a most singnlar one. His home is nmesr Stockton. Last Friday, while seated st a tableand ts. with his brother about money matters, Ebe playiully tossed a baif dollsr in his mouth and closed bis lips upon it. In- stantly and most involuntarily the coin was swallowed. In vain all ordinary methods of dislodging the coin were tried. Then Ebe came down to San' Francisco for treatment. He went to Dr. Morse, snd the lstter advised him to go the Germsn Hospital. Ebe is a strong, robust young man, and will submit himsel! io the op- eration bravely. Thursday it occurred .to the surgeons thst if the exact whereabouts of the coin could bs located that knowledge would simplify matters considerably snd make the operation much less dsngerous. With this end m wiew young Ebe was placed under the operation of the X rav as ap- he s paratos was set up with great care u?:i was operated by Professor Wenzell, who made the experiments in Berkeley. The experiment was very thorough, but never- theless it proved unsuccessiul. After long exposure of the plate, sslongas the patient could stand, upon development 1t revealed no marks whatever. This been rather dissppointing to Dr. Morse and his patient, as the danger- ous operation will now have to be per- :zymed wfimom t.h:o‘:xd of this occult ence. owever, are in good spirit and the bestresultsare hoped for. A m: deal depends upon whether the coin is located at the ‘first incision. Aside from the pains in the abdomen caused by this foreign substsnce Ebe is in good health and strong and bopefal. The lack of success attending one of the first applications of the Roentgen process in this City has not discouraged the scien- tific men most interested.
