Emotional insanity will be the defense
of Mrs, Annie NJ Bradley. who. on the
afternoon OF December s last, shot ex-
Senator Arthur Brown, OF Utah, IN his
apartment at the Raleigh Hotel, and in
iicted wound from which he died. Her
attorneys yesterday flied a petition ask
ing that Witnesses be summoned for Mrs.
Bradley at the expense OF the United
States. and stating that she is not pos
sessed Of sufficient means and utterly un-
able TO pay The expenses OF the wit
nesses which she says are essential to her
defense. Justice Barnard fixed Friday
next for the argument on this motion. In
her afiidavit, Mrs. Bradley says:
She expects TO prove by these wit
nesses that on the sth day OF December.
when as set forth ia the indictment she
is alleged 10 have fred the shot which
resulted in the death of Arthur Brown
in the Hotel Raleigh in this District, that
her mind and brain were I'm such a state
Of disease that she was unable 10 dis
tiagush right from wrong. and her miad
was so impaired az the time when tie
said shots are alleged 10 have been fired
that she was incapable of acting as a
free agent, but that any act she may
have committed on that date, was the
result and product of her diseased con
d'uon Of mind for which she is not re-
sponsible.
Know Antecedent Conduct.
This affiant further says that the said
witnesses have known her for a consider
able period Of time. and are familiar with
her antecedent conduct, and have per
sonal knowledge Of the facts and circum-
stances which operated upon her -s.'nA in
such manner as 10 dethrone her reason
and make her insane 10 such an extent
that she was not capable of acting Of her
own free will but was governed by such
diseased condition Of mind and the testi-
moDy Of said witnesses IS, therefore, ma
