MARYSVILLE, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE
prosecution of the Brady case has closed,
and the defense of the young man COM
menced. 1t was AIS o'clock this after
noon when the last witness of the many
who have been piling up evidence for the
people stepped from the stand, and Dis
trict Attorney McDaniels announced that
the case of the people would rest There
was nothing particularly interesting or
dramatic about the days proceedings.
The most of the time was taken up in the
reading of the recorded conversation be-
tween Brady and the Sacramento officers
on the day OF his arrest.
The first witness Of the day was Deputy
Clerk Eastman, who gave the measure
ments of Attorneys Hitchcock, Carlin and
Mcdaniel, as taken in the county height
measurer. Alexander Mcdonald, the
officer who captured Brady, then gave the
details of the capture. He was followed
by w. A. Johnston of Sacramento, who
assisted him in the arrest and who corro-
borated him on the stand. Miss Edith
keefe, who acted as waitress at the
Mechanics House in this city at the time
Brady stopped there just before the rob-
berry, testified that she saw him there on
the day preceding the hold-up
The special incident of the day occurred
when Deputy Sheriff Crane of this county
took the stand and stated that Brady had
worn braces during two or three days of
the trial IN order to hold back the shoul-
ders that have been used as a means of
identification because of their stopped con-
dition. In a flash Mr. Carlin turned to
his client and asked him to remove his
coat and vest. Brady did SO. He wore
suspenders.
After Mr.. Crane left the stand Deputy
Sheriff Schmitts of Sacramento told of the

Then came Stenographer Doane, who read
from shorthand notes all that was said
during the conversation between Brady
and the officers in the Sacramento iail on
the day OF his arrest. The details of this
conversation have been published in The
CALL.
Mrs. Ann Doherty, who keeps a lodging
house ION street, in Sacramento, said
Brady was not at her house on the night
OF the robbery, and the cross-examination
failed to change her story, which was in
tended to refute a portion of Bradv's
conversation with the officers of Sacra-
mento when he claimed he had stopped at
this woman's house on the night of the
robbery.
S. Lewek, the proprietor of the United
States Hotel of this city, was the last wit
ness for the people. He said he did not
think Brady was the man who was with
Browning when the latter stopped at his
house on March "a.
The prosecution announced that it
rested and the defense waived the opening
statement. Brady's first witness was
Arthur Nettercott, the fireman of the
train that was held up.
Nettercott said the smallest robher had
him In charge, and he thought the robber
was smaller man than Brady The
prisoner stood up for exhibition, and wit
ness declared that Brady was larger man
than the small robber. On cross-examina-
ton Nettercott corroborated the testimony
OF other witnesses relative to the stoop of
the shoulders of the smaller robber.
