Il suppose there are some hard tales

Il suppose there are some hard tales
about me, but am innocent of them ALL
To DIR. White he said. later:
Doctor the shooting was all uncalled
for. 1 never wronged that woman"
Shortly after the wounded man reached
the hospital he requested Dr. Sheep to no.
tify his law partner of the shooting. En- the
event of his death, he stated, he wanted
his children notified that the taking of his
life was through no fault of him own.
Complying with the request, a message
was sent to a friend of the former sena-
tor. in Utah, telling of the shooting and
stating that while the patient was in no i'm
mediate danger, his condition is critical.
The patient then sank back on the pillows
and again siumbered. Aside from the state
ments quoted, Mr.. Brown has said nothing
since his arrival at the HOSPITAL. However,
he did ask, before he was placed on the
operating table, if the wound was a partic-
ularly bad one. and if the physicians
thought he would live, and If so, would he
be manned for life.
Mr.. Brown was also wounded on the left
hand. The bone of the middle finger is
fractured and the flesh on the third and lit
tie fingers badly torn. Although the
wounds of the hand are not considered
serious, there is considerable speculation as
to how they were inflicted. Mrs Bradley
positively declares she only fired one shot,
but two chambers of her revolver were
empty when examined directly after the
shooting, and the police are satisfied she
ion. His solution is that the first shot was
fired at the abdomen, and as the assailant
pulled the trigger the second time Mr.
Brown either put out his hand as a means
of ward:ng off the bullet or else put his
hand to his stomach the first shot en-
tered his body, and it was struck by the
second bullet. However the second bullet
did not enter any part of the body, and
was not found about the room when looked
for by the police.
Visits From Friends.
Several friends of Mr.. Brown called at
the hospital, and seteral telephoned, to in
quire as to his condition Among the callers
were Senator Clark of Montana. who knew
Brown intimately, and NJ. S. Gung, a
lawyer of Helena, Mont. who was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Brown in the lawsuit they
were to have argued before the Supreme
Court tomorrow. They called at the hos
pital early in the evening and were refused
permission to see the patient They called
again shortly after midnight and talked
with him for a few moments.
