Shows No Greater Emotion 1han 10 REPEAT
Poor Arthur'-she Makes No Effort
10 see Mrs. Bradley in the .Jan-Fajls to
Get the Letters She Wrote to Brown.
WASHINGTON, Dec. I4.-The remains Of
ex-senator Arthur Brown were shipped to
Salt Lake City at noon to-day over the Penn
sylvania Railroad accompanied by his son
and daughter. Mrs. Annie c. Adams, the
actress, who came from New York late last
night, viewed the remains at the undertaking
establishment before they were removed to
the Pennsylvania station. As she gazed
upon the features Of the man 20 whom by
her own admission she was soon to have
been married she bowed no greater emo
tor than to repeat Poor Arthur. &.
The children OF Mr.. Brown objected
strongly TO Mrs. Adams accompanying the
body TO Salt Lake City. Max Brown, the
dead mans son, said that II 1t had not been
for Mrs. Adams the tragedy would not have
occurred. The actress was chaperoned by
the manager of one Of the local theatres.
who was very particular TO see that she was
not interviewed and that she promptly re-
turned to New York after viewing the re-
mains.
Mrs. Adams made no effort to visit Mrs.
Bradley in the District jail. Neither did she
call on the District Attorney. SHE expressed
a desire to get the letters which she had
written to Brown, and which are In the pos
session of the police, but she was told that
they would not be surrendered until after
the trial.
A statement prepared by Mrs. Adams
and given Out by a friend Of hers purported
to quote the actress as saying:
Senator Brown and / were to a " been
married and we had planned to go 20
Boston to join my daughter, Maude Adams,
at the time the. tragedy occurred. He
was to have come on to New York to join
me. had not intended to make the matter
public at present, but In view Of develop
ments of the last few days l feel IL Is now
necessary that the world know just what
the exact situation was
Ii was said for Mrs. Adams, in addition
to the above, on what was said to be good
authority that she determined to compel
ex-senator Brown to make q settlement OF
money upon Mrs. Bradley, because she
knew of the relations OF the two n
strongly sympathized with the woman.
II was learned to-day that the prosecution
will endeavor to show that Mrs. Bradley
shot Brown in a At Of jealous rage when she
found evidence in the letters discovered In
his room at the Raleigh Hotel that he was
soon 20 be married 10 Mrs. Adams. The
police recovered the scraps of pagers that
were scattered about Senator Browns
room on the day OF the shooting and these
have been carefully pieced together on
oilsilk 20 that they may be eAslly read.
These letters told OF the approaching mar
rage and the persecution believes tnat they
will show a motive for the killing.
The prisoner il reported tonight TO be
very comfortable at the District jail. She is
now eating regularly. The story that an
extra guard had been placed over her
through fear that she might attempt suicide
was denied. She will probably be indicted
next week, az the Grand Jury is now in SEES
sion, bat the United States District Attor.
ney believes hat the trial Of the case will
not take place before next spring.
There is a lively row on tonight between
the attorneys who have been interested in
the defence OF Mrs. Bradley. A. h. Il.
Leckie Is out in a statement Withdrawing
from the case n explaining his connection
with it. Mr.. Leckie says that be was en-
ployed by a telegram from the firm OF
Bartch n Bagley of Salt Lake CITY on the
night of the shooting. Later he learned
that Wells a Hoover had been called into
the case and he was notified That ne could
remain 10 assist the new counsel II ne cared
TO. Mr.. Leckie says that he withdrew from
the case, but had a telegram from Judge
Bagley of the Salt Lake firm to remain In the
case and later received the following teie-
gram from Salt Lake City:
"Mr. Leckie: Kindly deliver the follow
ing message to Mrs. Bradley: Anna, We
have acted for your best interests, with
full knowledge Of the facts. We low make
thisf nal appeal to you to accept the ounsel
we have arranged with. Your present
course is absolutely wrong. For the last
time will you listen TO your relatives and
friends?'"
Mr.. Leckie says that when he delivered
this he remained in the case after q con-
ference with Hoover q Wells and Mrs.
Bradley. He claims that afterward the
original letter sent to him by Mrs. Bradley,
in which she advised him that she had
retained Hoover h Wells, was given TO the
press in a form that conveyed the impress
sion that he. Leckie, was seeking to remain
in the ease against the wishes Of the prisoner.
After such treatment, " adds Mr.. Leckie,
ANY talk OF my having anything further
to do with the case under existing circum-
stances and SO long as Hoover d Wells
continue is absurd.
