BY NEXT GRAND JURY
MRS. BRADLEY'SC CASE GOES OVER
UNTIL JANUARY.
Collection of Evidence Regarding the
Shooting Of Former Senator Brown
Reports Denied.

According to a statement made today by
United States District Attorney Baker, the
case of Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley, charged
with killing former United States Senator
Arthur Brown of Utah, win not be present
ed to the sitting grand jury, whose term
expires with the present year. The reason
given for this is because Mr.. Baker has
found it will be necessary to send away
from the District for important witnesses,
which cannot be done before the jurymen
are excused for the Christmas holidays.
The new grand jury will be called upon
to report at the city hall New Year day,
but it is not believed Mrs. Bradley's case
can be reached until about January s,
owing to the fact that Justice Stafford
who is to preside in that court, is expected
to be away from the city until that date.
After an indictment is found Mr.. Baker will
let the case take the ordinary course. un-
less some untoward circumstance should
arise to render haste necessary. AT this
time, it is said. there is nothing of that de-
scriptlon in sight.
Mr.. Robert w. Wells and Mr.. George P.
Hoover of counsel for Mrs. Bradley will
visit the jail late this afternoon for the pur-
pose of consulting their client in reference
to the procuring of witnesses for the de-
Tense. 1t is said that after the interview
today one of them will make a trip to Utah
for the purpose of procuring evidence in
her behalf.
Retains Remarkable Composure.
Advices from the Jail today, where Ms.
Annie NJ. Bradley is quietly awaiting trial
on the charge of having taken the life of
former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah,
are to the effect that she maintains her re-
markable composure, while her physical
condition, following the shock of the trag-
edy, is showing considerable improvement.
The story published this morning to the
effect that Mrs. Bradleys mental conditio \
is considered alarming by the Jail authori-
ties, and that there is danger of her losing
her mind, was pronounced by Warden Har-
ris as "a monstrous falsehood."
1T is untrue, as stated" said the warden,
that she often PUSHES to the door of her
cell and screams out some inarticulate
message; that she sings; that she calls for
her children and does other strange things
attributed to her. 1t Is also untrue that a
strange change has been noted in her con-
stefan is taking drastic measures to pre-
vent a probable wavering of her mind.
ut is equally untrue that the woman sat
her lands fSo a and would eat hen seep
but called constantly for the man she loved
and her children ..-.-..--.
The truth is, according to Warden Har-
rs, Mrs. Bradley is a model prisoner in
every sense. Or, as the warden put it,
She Is a sensible, quiet woman and does
none of the undsua. tEiSags that are attrib-
Mted TO her. She is not exctfee at ali. nor
has she been since her Incarceration in
/ jail don't know that any one can act
any better than she has since she has been
In this institution. She does not call for
her children and has not asked to have
them brought to this city.
Mrs. Bradley is not confined to her cell,
but is allowed the freedom of the corridors
with the other women prisoners. Owing to
her frai1 physical condition we prepare for
her food different from that served to the
general prisoners. She talks to the matron
or myself when she has anything to say,
but does not refer to her case"
