Dr. J K. McLean ridicuies the idea that Rev. C. O Brown has in Bis possession a confession from oneof the witnesses at his ir.al, presumably Mattie Overman. As pubiished in the dispaiches yester- day Rev. C. 0. Brown circu'ated a state- ment at Chicago that Dr. McLean was pursuing him with malice and vindictive- ness, and stated that when the Oakland divine gyt through with h.m he (Brown) | wou'd muke anot.er statement and tell o! | | a more recent conf sson, and which will embarrass D= McLean and those who support him. “This thing is absolately ridicalous.” said Dr. McLean to-day. I Mr, Brown, who is as dead on this coast as a man can be, hasanything 10 give to the world tha: wiil help him, he owes it to his family ana | 10 himse f, as well as to his fr.ends, to at onca make it publc. Ido not fear any- thing he may sey. There is one thing | tbat I am sorry for. i “The ¢ muiiitee of nineteen which had Dr. Biowi's case in hand consuited to- geiher, wien I received a most remarkable document from Miss Overman. As the trial proper of Brown was over the com- | mit ee dec ded that it should not be made public.

Whatever Dr. Brown may say in Chicago has no weignt on tni- | coast, where people know the details and Li-tory of his doings. *For my part 1 would like the public to becowe acqaainied with the evidence that we have so far kept secret.
