the consequences.
IN discussing the method which she
proposes TO pursue. Mrs. Bradley said.
Al can do nothing else but plead
guilty. I owe it 10 myself and my chill
dren TO do so. Should ] plead not
guilty I would say, il doing so, that
Senator Brown Is not the father o. my
children, that ne is not guilty. Then
that would raise the question who is
guilty-it would be an admission that
some one else was guilty, which is un-
true. This would make me worse than
I am. and would place my children in
a far worse condition than they are.
propose to tell the truth for the sake Of
myself and my children.
Brown Seeks Postponement.
The senator has sent parties to me
asking me 10 consent to postpone
ment of my aTrIignment until after his
case has been settIed. That 7 viii never
do. IF ne will not give me and my
children the protection ard name that
he has promised me so many times,
and in public too. then we must both
pay the penalty.
THE senator has said that I am
prosecuting him and running him. I
am not prosecuting him. His wife flied
the charges against him that he must
face, and it was she who filed the same
charges against me
"Al 7 demand is that he settle with
me in the only honorable way that he
can settle with me. i want no money
and will have no monetary settlement.
What demand is a name for my chill
dren and protection for us. because he
promised it. If it were impossible for
him to keep the promises that he has
made so often and so ferventiy, IT
might he different but he can do as he
has promised to do.
"His wife has told him in my pres
ence that he could settle with her by
giving her the ranch and home. and
she would allows him to get divorce
that he might do as he should by me
and my children. 1t is upon these
premises and conditions that I make my
demand and propose to stand firmly
by il. If there is any question as to
whether the senator has made such
promises to me or not the letters that
L have win show that he did,
