of the senator's oft reiterated protesta-
lions Of undying affection and his al
most as frequent promises of marriage

case. the narrative goes on from enc
stage 20 another, showing that Brown
would rot consent to the woman re-
turning to her husband, although she
manifested disposition to do so. but
insisted upon maintaining his relations
with her.
The visits to the farm in Idaho and
the scenes there and in Salt Lake City
in which Mrs. Brown as well as the
two principals participated are set forth
in detail, evidently for the purpose of

others to get her to sever her relations
with Brown and of his refusal to permit
her to dc so.
All the facts of the various arrests OF
Brown and Mrs. Bradley on the charge of
adultery are set forth, as is also the
contention by the defence that Brown
bought for her the pistol with which she
shot him, telling her to use it in protect
ing herself against Mrs. Brown. The in
cident of the senator driving her from
his farm in 1903 soon after Il visit of Mrs.
Brown, when she was about to become
a mother for the second time is also told.

after an attack of smallpox and pneu-

less frequent. Her grandfather upon
the maternal side was at times insane.
Two of her aunts upon the maternal

afiliation with him. Mrs. Bradley be-
came acquainted with Senator Brown.
The particulars Of her intimacy with
him from 1898 forward are recited min

infatuation are thus outlined:

awakening to that fact, he had express
ed great affection for her in many ways
and was tender and kind and courteous
to her. He made to her protestations
of his love and she believed him, and
she came to love him so strongly that
it was beyond description. There was
a child born to them in February, 1890
and their relations became thus init
mate in January, 1899. The senator told
her a great deal of his life. that he was
