DOES NOT RECOGNIZE
Them IN HIS WILL
Bequeaths All His Property to
His Two Legitimate
Children.
IS BITTER AGAINST
W0MAN WHO KILLED HIM
Refuses to Give Anything to
Arthur Brown Bradley or Mar
tin Montgomery Brown.

Denying in his last will and testament
that he was the father Of any of Anna
NJ. Bradlcy's children ex-senator Arthur
Brown bequeathed all his property to
his two Legitimate children. Alice and
Max Brown. and specifically stipulated
that none Of his property should go TO
Mrs. Bradley or her children, born or
unborn. He left nothing to Mrs Annie
Adams. the actress, who claims she was
engaged to him.
The will, which was executed August
"a last, and filed for probate in the Dis
! trict court Friday. demonstrates the
truth of the comment of ten made upon
Senator Brown S character since his
DEATH namely: that he was a good
hater. The document breathes a bit
ter hatred Of the woman who slew him,
and determination 10 visit upon her
children the hatred borne their mother.
The viii names Max Brown as sole
executor of his father estate and, in
fling the will for probate. the son also
filed an inventory of the estate, which
shows it to be worth about $4,000, OF
which sum $4,000 is in real estate and
$4,000 is IN personal property.
