by His Slayer.
LAW MUST TAKE ITS COURSE

Before being conveyed to Jail Mrs. Brad
ley. the slayer of the former senator, was
permitted to view his remains at the
morgue, and the deep love she had borne
the man in life was evidenced when she
bowed over the death slab and implanted
kiss upon his cold lips.
Mrs Annie C. Adams. the mother of
Maude Adams, the actress. who, it is said,
caused the almost insane jealousy which
prompted Mrs. Bradley, who claims she is
the mother of Browns two children, to fire
the fatal shot, was in this city today and
visited the undertaking establishment of
Adolph ]. Schippert, where she was per-
mtted to gaze for the last time the
face of the late senator. Mrs. Adams was
pressed for statement. but positively de-
clined to say anything concerning the case,
or to deny or affirm the published state
ment that she was engaged to be married
TO deceased.
Mr.. A. E. l.. Lecke, who until this after
noon was of the counsel for Mrs. Bradley
however, gave it. as his opinion that Mr..
Brown was not engaged to Mrs. Adams.
Body Placed Aboard Train.
The remains of Arthur Brown were con-
veyed in lone hearse, without any accom-
panying vehicles, to the 9th street passen-
ger station of the Pennsylvania railroad
about :45 o'clock this morning. With the
hearse was Mr.. Adolph ]. Schppert, who
had prepared the body for the long jour-
ney to Salt Lake City. The casket was met
at the depot by Max Brown, son of the de-
ceased, and his sister, Miss Alice Brown,
who will accompany the remains to Utah.
The interment will be at Salt Lake City,
but the time for the obseduies there had
not been determined up to 1905 o'clock,
the time of the departure of the train.
There was mo unusual scene at the railroad
station beyond the presence of a few NOR
bid persons who gazed at the casket as 1t
was borne to the baggage car.
The warden said that Mrs. Bradley is
as quiet and apparently as unaffected as
any prisoner ever received at the jail. and
that she Is receiving just the same treat
ment given other prisoners at the United
States jail; no distinction is made in the
treatment of those who are incarcerated
there be they prince or pauper.
Warden Harris also said that the physical
condition of Mrs. Bradley appears to be
very much weakened. and that fact in con-
nectiOn with the mental strain she has
been under resulted in the Jail physician
today prescribing for her special diet. This
change from the rather plain prison fare
IL not unusual. 1t is always prescribed in
the cases of any prisoner similarly afflicted.
The prisoner Is reported to be taking her
condition philosophicaly and she believes
that when jury of twelve men hear her
story they will hesitate to condemn her
action In shooting the man who she de-
clares Is the father of two of her children
and who spurned her when she appealed to
him to marry her.
The Jail officers smiled today when they
read that Mrs. Bradley when first received
at the jail was made to don "the prison
suit While the prisoners at the work.
house wear distinctive uniform to pre-
vent them from running away. 1t was
pointed out that those in the Jail are not
required to put on convict garb, but wear
in the prison the clothing they were attired
in when admitted to the institution.
Mrs. Annie C. Adams at IL 40 o'clock this
morning visited the undertakers estab-
lishment, where she viewed the remains, as
stated She departed with the statement
that she was going back to New York
1t was stated today that it was the in
tention to have started the body to Utah
last night, but the son Of the late senator
learned that there would be trouble in max
ing the proper railroad connection at Chi
eago for Salt lake City, SO the start was
it Mrs. Adams attention to accompany the
funeral party to Utah. She is said to have
been visibly affected while here because of
the demise OF the late senator.
Attorney Leckai Withdraw
Mr.. A. f. L. Lecke today formally with
drew counsel for Mrs. Bradley.
Detective Helan has been detailed upon
the case, and he went to New York last
night. it Is stated. for the purpose of inter-
viewing Mrs. Adams. 1t was said at police
headquarters this afternoon that no mes
sage has been received from him.
Action by Grand Jury.
Ii Is said to be probable that an ind.ct-
ment may be returned against Mrs Brad
ley in few days by the grand jury. which
Is now in session. In view of the fact that
the calendar is filled to April ] next il Is
probable that Mrs Bradley will remain In
jail for several months at least. unless her
attorneys arrange to have her case ad-
rGnced on the docket. Attorney Baglcy
or Salt Lake City. who Is on his way TO
tins city, viii confer with Mrs. Bradleys
washington attorneys In the preparation of
her defense, II is said.
II is reported that Max Brown the son
Of the late senator, said before his de-
parture for Salt Lake City this afternoon
with the remains. that he would carry out
his fathers expressed wish that Mrs. Brad
ley should be prosecuted fully. In that
connection II Is said that defense fund is
being raised In Utah among the friends
of the woman to provide for her interests
before the local courts, and that stems
have been taken TO care for her four chill
dren.
Mrs. Bradley Kissed the Body.
When counsel for Mrs. Bradley made an
effort to have their client remain at the
house of detention yesterday morning In
stead of going to the morgue they said they
made the request because of her nervous
condition
II can see no reason why the course In
this case should be any different from that
pursued In other cases of the kind" said
the coroner. And he added, II am will
ing 10 take the responsibility for the con-
sequences.
a dose OF brandy seemed to make a
change In the physical condition of the
prisoner after she reached the morgue, and
the coroner felt satisfied that her health
would not be impaired by the ordeal of
appearing before the jury. The coroner
II now more than satisfied that Mrs. Brad
ley was not affected by her experience at
the morgue, for despite the statements re-
garding her condition she was able to 20
into the operating room and kiss the cold
form OF the man whose life she had taken.
