ment that the victim of her bullets had

Is not the intention of the authorities
70 take the woman into court until af-
ter the coroner's Inquest this after

fore the grand jury.
HARD TO CONVICT.
For many years II was regarded as
impossible to convict any white per-
son OF murder In the District OF Co.
lumbia. Klncaid, a newspaper corre-
spondent, shot Congressman Taulbe
while the latter was descending the
steps leading from the floor OF his Of
fee to restaurant, and he was ac-
quilted. Ward, a prominent business
man, entered saloon and deliberately
shot a man who refused to drink with
him. He was acquitted.
MANY OTHER CASES.
A dozen more cases might be cited, bus
since, white women as well as men have
been convicted. and during the last five
years convictions have been more COM
mon than acquittals in murder cases.
Opinion is divided as to whether or
not Mrs. Bradley was justified. One
of the local newspapers advertises
that on Sunday Mrs John A. Logan.
Joaquin Miller and Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey will discuss in its columns
the question Had Mrs. Bradley a right
to shoot Brown"
BY SON AND DAUGHTER.
The body of dead man will be taken
to Salt Lake Cor burial by his son and
daughter who are now here.
1T has not vet been determined at
what hour party viii start 1t is prob
able no services Will be held here"
BROWNS CAREER
The career OF Senator, Arthur Brown
was embraced in 90 years, beginning
March s. 1913 at SchoOcraft, Mich,
and ending in the emergency hospital
at Washington, ID. c., Dec. ~, 1906
In that period he has graduated
from two universities, made a repu-
tation az brilliant lawyer In two
states, and amassed comfortable for
tune in Utah. In his domestic rela-
tons he scandalzcd the communities
where he lived both In Michigan and
Utah.
At his bedside in Washington when
the end came, was Max Brown a son
by Isabel Cameron Brown, and Alice
Brown, a daughter by the first wife.
A few blocks away was Mrs. Anna
Bradley, whose children, the only
other living beings to call Senator
Brown father" were not at his bed
side at the end, but here In Salt Lake
with relatives
Brown graduated In 1862 from Anti
och, from Michigan university in
1864, with the degree of A. NJ. In 1876
he came TO Salt Lake and married lsa-
belle Cameron after coming 10 Utah,
and lived with her, apparently happily,
until he met Mrs. Bradley in " Louis
In 1896. Then began the domestic scan
dals that resulted In the final tragedy
OF Senator Browns life.
A HUMAN PARADOX.
To his friends Senator Brown was a
paradox. In all matters outside of his
domestic affairs, he was gentle, Gull
tured and refined In these affairs he
ceased to be a man. and fought his life
IN pr-
binary moral laws or the public senti-
ment before which he Haunted his az
fairs.
DEAD MANS ESTATE.
The matter of senator Browns es-
tate Is being discussed today. Not long
ago IL amounted to nearly 100000, ac-
cording to the figures OF attorneys who
were then In his confidence. Since that
time Senator Brown is said by those
who knew him best to have reformed In
large measure from former habits
OF drinking.
In his name are valuable blocks of
mining stocks, a home on east South
Temple street, and he owns number
of other pieces of Salt Lake real es-
tate. The big ranch at Haley, Ida, on
which Senator Brown spent over $780,
000 was sold several months ago, and
the proceeds used to getting the estate
into shape.
MADE MANY WILLS.
Senator Brown told friends before
leaving for Washington that his will
would be found In the safe. should any
thing happen. Some of his friends de-
clare today that he should have said
wills for some Of them say they have
seen at least a dozen of such docu-
ments.
At one time he made q will deciding
Mrs. Bradley the Idaho ranch, at an
other time deciding her the South Tenn
pie street home, and at still another
time, setting aside O maintenance for
young Arthur Brown Bradley, who is
said 10 much resemble Senator Brown.
IL was his habit 1t seems, TO strike off
q will In some particular mood one day,
and the very next day, repudiate II
with another document.
From apparently reliable sources Il is
learned that the last document cuts off
Mrs. Bradley and her two children
without a cent, while Max Brown, of
whom Senator Brown was very fond,
declaring him often to be a boy after
his own heart, receives the largest be-
quests.
Loca! attorneys do not consider that
Mrs. Bradley will fare 50 well before
Washington courts as she would In
Utah. They declare that in Washington
the local sympathy with Mrs. Bradley
win not be felt that the case
will be prosecuted especially hard
because they do not wish to
encourage women to journey down
10 the capital to shoot states
men against whom they have n grudge,
and the opinion Is prevalent that a
long sentence will be the outcome, Most
Of the witnesses will have TO be sum-
moned from Utah.
WON'T OPEN THE SAFE.
Archie Livingston, who has been in
the Office OF Arthur Brown since March,
1897 was seen today by the News
With reference to the will. Mr.. Living
