 Hartford, May 1-To- day was the
 seventh of the Bradley court martial.
 The court sat to-day in the hall of the
 house of representatives instead of in
 the supreme court room, the supreme
 court occupying the latter place.
 Colonel Thompson opened the court
 martial promptly at 3 o'clock, he and
 his colleagues, Colonel Thayer and Ma jor Fitch, occupying the speakers desk
 The first witness was Captain Jere- miah T. Donovan of Co. c, Second regi- ment. He is lawyer by profession. He was at Camp Lounsbury last summer. He is acquainted with Captain Bradley. Captain Donovan said he remembered
 the trouble which Captain Bradley had with his men. He had heard Captain Bradley use the profane language which he is charged with having used. Cap tain Bradley's appearance was "errat ic," and his tone of voice was loud and boisterouS" He should say that Cap tain Bradley was drunk or crazy"
 Captain Donovan was cross examined by MT. Danaher. He was about eigh- teen feet from the scene of the trouble. He had spoken to Colonel Callahan about the matter. He said he did not see Captain Bradley drink anything, nor did he see him stagger. Captain Bradley's face was red, and his eyes had wild expression. Captain Bradley said he was in his bath robe in his tent when he heard Captain Bradley swear ing, and he came out to the porch to see what the trouble was. MT. Danaher asked Captain Donovan if he was around the company street in his bath robe.
 "No no. Don't be ridiculous. Be a man, whatever you be-" replied Captain Donovan.
 Captain Donovan's reply seemed to have some effect on Mr. Danaher, as his questions were weighed more carefully after that. It was inferred by MT. Dan- aher in the examination of the witness that Captain Donovan had "paraded in the camp" in his bath robe. This fact is absolutely wrong, as Captain Dono- van did not leave the porch of his tent on that occasion. Captain Donovan's replies seemed to have f1oored MT. Dan- aher, who repeatedly asked the same questions of the witness.
 Captain Donovan proved an excellent witness, and was fully prepared for the volley of questions that were shot at him by the examiner He remained cool and collected while he was on the stand, and seemed to get the better of MT. Danaher in his arguments
 Lawyer Danaher asked Captain Don- ovan if he would produce the written statement which he had prepared. Cap- tain Donovan said he could not prom ise, as he could not remember where he had left 1t. The judge advocate oppos- ed the request of Mr. Danaher and the latter began to give reasons for his re- quest, when he was interrupted by Cap- tain Donovan. Lawyer Donovan turned | sharply towards Captain Donovan and | said to him:
 T wish you'd keep your mouth shut"
 T treat you more gentlemanly," re- marked Captain Donovan.
 You don't treat me in very gen. tlemanly way, when you interrupt me, | as you have been doing" remarked MT. | Danaher.
 The court disallowed the request of | MT. Danaher.
 Private Walter J. Walsh, Company c, an attorney-at-law in New Haven, 1 was the next witness called. He gave an account of the Kobs incident as he saw it. He repeated the language used | by Captain Bradley, and said he ] heard Sergeant Kobs tell Captain Bradley that he could not take off his stripes. Captain Bradley said You will see whether can or not" and or dered Kobs to follow him to his tent and as they neared 1t Kobs handed his blouse to Captain Bradley.
 The witness was of the opinion that Captain Bradley was fighting drunk" and he thought at the outset that Kobs was in about the same condition, but the latter seemed to calm down as they neared the tent. On ross-examination witness said he based his opinion that the captain was drunk on the fact that | he was wildly excited abusive, and using profanity profusely." He admit ted that man might do those things and be sober. He said he simply saw Captain Bradley take Kobs by the arm, md did not see Captain Bradley hold Jim in any other way.
 When the court convened after the noon recess 1t was learned that the wit | 1esses who were to have appeared to l give testimony this afternoon had mis- remark of Judge Advocate Rogers. this forenoon, and had gone to heir homes The judge advocate had intended to put a certain witness on he stand this afternoon, but from in- ormation gathered during the noon re- cess decided that the testimony was not admissible.
