WASHINGTON Nov. 2O.-The climax
of the Bradley trial was reached today
when Mrs. Bradley, testifying in her
own behalf related the particulars of
her final interview with former Sem
ator Brown in the Raleigh Hotel in this
city last December, and gave all the de-
tails she could remember of the shoot
ing which followed.
She was prompt as usual in entering
the court room. and IL any one had be-
lieved that yesterdays ordeal would
render her unfit to proceed with her
narrative 1t must soon have become
evident to such person that he had
not taken into sufficient account the
reserve power of the woman. She did
not look very buoyant, but she never
does, and 1t cannot be said that there
was much change in her appearance.
She had yesterday related practically
all the details of her life with Senator
Brown during their intimacy of nine
years, and it was understood generally
that after few preliminary statements
concerning the time just preceding the
entrance of both parties to the tragedy
in Washington, she would be led up to
that affair and asked, as the only pos
sible witness, to tell the story.
I'VE shall beabrief," said Judge Pow
ers, her Salt Lake attorney .in dealing
with this phase of the case; it wifi not
take Mrs. Bradley long to give us all

Judge Stafford had no sooner taken
his seat than Mrs. Bradley resumed
her place in the witness chair. She
was first asked to identify a number of
letters written her at different times
by Senator Brown, and did SO. There
were so many of these documents that
forty-five minutes were consumed In
the mere exhibition of them. They coy-
cred the time from 1901 to 1906, and
were presented for the purpose of
showing the relations between Mrs.
Bradley and Mr. Brown, but no effort
was made to read them as they were
introduced.
1t was evident that the sight of the
letters aroused conflicting memories In
the witness, for she sobbed autlibly as
many of them were presented to her.
Many of her replies to questions
were again in an indistiuct tone Of
voice. and the stenographer was COM
PEELED to repeat many of her state
ments for the benefit of the jury.
There were more than a hundred of
the letters and when their presenta-
tion had been concluded, Judge Powers
said that some of them would be read
to the jury at a later date. He then
called upon the prosecuting attorney
to produce letters in his possession
written to Brown by Mrs. Bradley
which was done. There were not so
many of these letters as of Browns,
but they covered the same period Of
time.
The witness took time to read some
of the letters before accepting them,
but in each instance she replied in
quivering. faltering voice: Eyes. wrote

The reading of Mrs. Bradiey's letters
by herself necessarily consumed much
time and caused the proceedings to
drag in interest. This fact did not,
