Before the jury had reached its de-
elsion, Mrs. Bradley viewed the remains
Of the man she had slain, as it lay on a
marble slab on the second floor OF the
morgue building. She was accompanied
by Mrs. McCloud, the matron, and several
Of her attorneys.
Il was the first glimpse she had had
of the face Of Senator-Brown since the
fatal shot was fiTed in his room at the
hotel. As she drew near the body the
woman hurried She seemed eager and
anxious to get the last glimpse OF the
man she had so dearly loved in life and
whom she lad killed.

in her eyes, she looked long and earnest

with her attorneys.
Curious still watch Her.
IN the street just under the window
was a small gathering, still endeavoring
10 catch a glimpse Of the woman's form
or features. Occasionally she looked
down upon the handful of people, but
she did not pay much attention to them.
She made no attempt to keep from their
sight, and several times stood within full
view Her veil had been raised, and
those of the curious who remained were
repaid for their efforts. and they saw
the womans sad, troubled face only a
few feet above. She still looked as
for sympathy.

the body Of the late Senator was placed
in the waiting undertaker's wagon. AS

As the cab was surrounded by the
crowd. Mrs Bradley appeared with Mr
Leckie on the one side. and Mrs. Nc

her were her two other attorneys. Hoov-

She stepped quickly into the carriage
and sat with her back TO the driver. The
matron followed her into the hack. and
with Policeman L. r Emmert in charge
and Attorneys Hoover and Leckie, the
long drive to the jail was begun.
The curtains were closely drawn and
once more the frail little woman was
hidden from the view of the world. The
carriage, with dark horses and closed
blinds. bearing the woman who had COM

Water street. Preceding it by only
few blocks, and travelling q tTi7e faster
the undertaker's wagon continued on its
way with the body of the dead Senator.
