possible to make any determination at
this time. OF course. the case will be
referred to the grand jury through the
usual channels. There will be an In

morning. and it will return an indictment
for murder holding Mrs. Bradley for the
grand jury
UP or when it VIII be concluded. i think

1t viii be a speedy one. 1t is impossible
for me TO state with any degree Of ac-
curacy when the case will be called
that is matter that lies entirely with
the district attorney, Mr.. Baker.
1T is not likely, however, from the con-
dition Of the calendar. that it VIII be
possible to hold the trial before the last
Of May or the first Of June You see
there are a number Of rather important
cases slated. for instance, the May case,
that fill the calendar pretty well. II

before the present grand jury"
Il am not prepared at present 20 take
any active steps. said George p. Hoover,
one of the attorneys employed by Mrs.
Bradley, last night. when told Of Mr..
Browns death until ] have seen Mrs.

upon her tomorrow morning and decide
what is to be done"
Thought He Planned to Marry.
From remarks made by Mrs. Bradley
yesterday it is evident that when she
left Salt Lake she was laboring under
the impression that Senator Brown had
gone East for the purpose of being mar
ried. She was aware that he was en-
deavoTing 10 rid himself Of his atten-
tions. He had never told her he in
tended marrying any one else.
After the final interview between the
two in the Utah metropolis. Mrs. Bradley
got possession Of the bundle Of unsigned
letters from "a woman in the East. Then
she Immediately came 70 the conclusion
that Senator Brown intended TO take
another as his wife during his Eastern
trip.
Hurriedly gathering hef effects together
she prepared for the trip to Washing
ton. That she left Salt Lake on short
notice she has conhded to the matrons
with whom she has come in contact since
her Incarceration
At first Mrs. Bradley denied ,.iat there
was any jealousy on her part or tIat
there was another woman in the case.
Since then. however, she has admitted
Jnat she was madly in love with Sena-
tor Brown. and that she was insancly
Jealous of his attentions to another.
Jealous of Actress.
Within the last few days she has talked
to few who have called at the House
Of Detention to see her. and confessed
that she believed Brown was 20 be mar
ried TO an actress.
Senator Brown was 10 have gone from
Washington TO New York 10 spend the
holidays with Mrs Adams. In an inter
view in New York Mrs. Adams stated
that the Senator had intended paying her
"a visit, bat in no way intimated that
there was 20 be marriage.
Before leaving her in Salt Lake City.
Senator Brown told Mrs Bradley that
he was coming TO Washington on bust
ness. Whether or not he informed her OF
a contemplated visit to New York is not
known. II is thought that Mrs. Bradley
got the idea that Senator Brown was to
be married from letters Of his which she
had in her possession at the time of the
shooting.
These are the letters found in Mrs.
Bradley's trunk and written by a woman
in the East and unsigned The ten let
ters had ali been written during the last
few months. Most Of them were ad-
dressed TO the Senator at salt Lake City.
Mrs. Adams, who Mrs. Bradley says was
70 be married 70 Senator Brown, is sixty
two years Old-two years younger than
Brown himself Mrs. Bradley is but thir-
ty-four years Of age.
Talks About Mrs. Adams.
She has talked 20 callers abou. Mrs.
Adams. and stated that one reason she
believed he intended making the actress
his wife was the fact that she was so
near his own age. AS she was many
years younger than the statesman, and
he had already intimated on more than
one occasion that he was tired OF her.
Mrs. Bradley worried over her predica-
ment until she decided to take a train for
One report Of the shooting
is TO the effect that she confronted him
with plans 10 marry another in his room
at the Raleigh. Whether he denied the
story or rot IS rot lcncwn.
During the four-day trip from Salt Lake
10 this city Mrs. Bradley spent much Of
the time 10 herself. She was worried. and
continually planning what action she
would take upon her arrival here The
day before she arrived she had nothing TO
eat. She was evidently too occupied with
her thoughts 10 think OF food. a s she had
a small amount of money when arrested.
Mrs. Bradley had rather a comfortable
day at the House Of Detention Yesterday.
She took more noUrishment than she has
at any time since the shooting. The
woman IS stin very nervous.
COnfers with Lawyer.

his client yesterday. Mr. Wells. together
with George ?. Hoover. has been re-
tanned as counsel for the woman. A. f.
l. Leckie will continue in the case. and
be associated with Wells, Hoover &

Monday
Tells of Tragic Scene.
Since the affair Mrs. Bradley has re-
lated share of the conversation which
took place In Browns room just after
the shooting. According to the report.
after the ouIlet hdu pierced the aDQomeh
of the victim. and as he Teeled back
ward, Mrs. Bradley said: Are you
hurt, Arthur"
Il am dying, Egypt, dying" was
his only reply. A few seconds afterward
hotel attendants were in the room.
These are said to have been the last
words spoken between the two.
Baker Tries to Get Statement.
District Attorney .. W Baker was at
the hospital yesterday afternoon in an eff
fort TO secure AZ ante-moTtem statement

a dying declaration. He has never dis
