Search For Mrs. Bradley.
When this had been done, Senator
Brown left the court room and Mrs.
Brown drove the judge to his home.
/ Before she left, however. she reiterated
her assertion that she believed Mrs.
Bradley was somewhere in the ROOM
ing house. and Sheriff Naylor returned
10 that place.
The landlady, when questioned. said
that no woman had come TO the house
with Senator Brown and that she had
not seen any woman with him. but
that a strange woman had rented a
room in the house the evening be-
fore.
I Mrs. Bradley was unconscious OF
what had been going on and when
the landlady inquired of her what her
name was she promptly replied. Sher-

had a warrant for her arrest. Mrs.
Bradley, he said, inquired what the
charge was, but evidenced no special
concern. and willingly accompanied
him 10 the carriage.

Mrs. Browns Statement.
Mrs. Brown. when seen. deeply re-
GREETED the sensation and scandal, but
talked freely of the circumstances lead
ing up TO the arrest. and showed let
tiers that had passed between Mrs.
Bradley and Senator Brown.
''These relations between the two"
said she. have been going on for
about four years, and started through
Senator Brown meeting her in a pO-
ltical way. ! was told of these things
but did not believe them until about
q year ago. when ] was furnished with
proof. bore patiently with Mr..
Brown and did not pay any attention
TO them because | did not believe that

/ this woman and hardly dared go down
! town because of the fear of meeting
them and causing a scene. For that
reason / stayed away from them until
this matter came up.
mfr. Brown was aware that / knew
of these conditions. and he talked them
over with me. promising that he would
! leave this woman alone and that he
would get rid of her. Although these
things have been going on, he has al

. recently. On the Sth of August last
he went 20 our Idaho ranch, telling
me before he left net to worry be-
cause Mrs. Bradley was there, as he
was going there to send her away and
get rid OF her for good. He returned
on the LIST OF September and came
home to his supper.
Left Home For Good.

ner with him, holding hands as w
