N DEFENSE OF HER HUSBAND, Mrs. Brown Tells What She Knows of the Great Scandal. NOT EASILY CONFUSED. Declares She Has Perfect Confi- dence in Miss Overman's Present Honesty. STARTLING EVIDENCE PROMISED The Minister’s Young Friend Is Again a Witness—O0ld Letters Cause At the invitation of the council Mrs. Brown took the stand. She was dressed very plainly in black, and her face was drawn and pale. During the examination by Nacle she was allowed to tell her story in her own fashion, the attorney merely directing her attention to certain points which he wished to bring up. “I was married to Dr. Brown in July, 1866, commenced the pastor’s wife, ‘‘and our family consists of four sons. Our mar- ried life has been a happy and united one. I first knew Miss Overman in Tacoma, where my husband was pastor of a church. She used to do sewing for me, and Dr. Brown first met her at our lunch-table. Bhe came frequently to our house, and during the few weeks preceding our de- varture for San Francisco she came almost daily.” “Now,” asked Nagle, “what do you know of Mrs, Stockton ?” “In August or September, 1893, Mrs. Cooper introduced Mrs. Stockton tomy husband as a teacher in one of her kinder- gartens. About a week afterward Mrs. Stockton came to our house and asked Dr. Brown to go with her to the house of a rich gentleman friend, from whom, being a widow witb a child dependent upon her and in need of means, she hoped to secure financial aid. Dr. Brown accompanied her thither, and I cannot recollect hearing more of the matter. “I next met Mrs. Stockton in October, 1893, when she volunteered to assist me in preparing and serving the lunch which the church ladies tendered to the members of the general association which met in the church parlors. ‘T was never, that I can recollect, intro- duced to Mrs. Stockton, though I plainly The hand of fate hoversover the unwise. the youth whoin error have dashed the cup of life %o the floor.

In Tacoma I had had charge of the choir, and on one occasion I or¢anized and directed a chorus of 400 voices. Hence, when the Smith revival meetings were about to open in our church, the task of selecting singers was assigned to me. Among the volunteers for the choir was Mrs. Stockton, whom I rejected, as I did not fancy her voice. No personal feeling, I repeat, was involved in my action. and it did not cause any ill- feeling. Mrs. Stockton continued to visit me, and seemed as friendly as ever.” “Now, Mrs. Brown,” remarked Nagle, ‘“‘perhaps you can give us a little light on the famous Turkish tea episode ?” “‘One morning shortly before the tea,” responded the pastor’'s wife, ‘‘Mrs. Stock- ton came to our house in great excicement and indignation. She showed us a letter from Mrs, French, wherein that lady re- quested her to refrain from taking part in the programme of exercises at the tea, assigning no reason for the request. Dr. Brown and I went with Mrs. Stockton to ask an explanation from Mrs. French. “That Iady persisted in her refusal to give any reason for wishing to exclude Mrs. Stockton from tne programme, and view. When we had left Mrs. French’s house, Mrs. Stockton was in a violent rage, and demanded of Dr. Brown whether he intended allowing Mrs.French the privs Dr. Brown called as the DAMAGING LETTERS. ileges of the church. ‘Certainly I do, An effort will be made to have | Parkinson, who sat on his left hand, was | was Dr. Brown's answer; ‘vou don't think | of the opinion that the judge advocate | I'm crazy,do you?

On the ensuing Thursday, 1n response to my urgent and oft-repeated invitation, she came to my house, and’ has since remained there. I wish to repeat that she came at my inv tation and has remained at my earnest re- | quest. Dr. Brown has had nothing to do i with her coming or remaining.” Mrs. Brown proceeded to corroborate the testimcny of her husband with re- gard to the visit of the unnamed lawyer who called upon the doctor for a letter of | recommendation for Mrs. Stockton, and to | the fact that the doctor refused to give | such a letter and ordered the lawyer out | of the house. “Do you think,’, asked Lawyer Nagle, | “that there was ever anything wrong be- | tween your husband and Miss Overman?” | “I know that there was mnot,” replied knew also that if Mrs. Stockton’s true character were discovered Mrs. Cooper’s own name might be questioned. ‘Mrs. Cooper is the "bitterest enemy we ever had,”” added Mrs. Brown. Mr. Tenney took up Mrs. Brown’s state- ment that it was she who had invited Miss Overman to stay with her after the David- son affair, and that Dr, Brown had noth- | ing to do with inviting her. Mrs. Brown corrected her statement by saying that she had understood Mr. Tenney to inquire about the first time Miss Overman came to | stay with the Browns. During the course of his questions Mr. Tenney used the word *‘embraces’” when referring to the Stockton kiss, and Mrs. Brown corrected him by saying that there was only one embrace on that occasion so far as she had beard.
