EVIDENCE CONCLUDED.
Both Sides Finish Testimony in
Case Against Mrs. Bradley.
INSANITY EXPERTS ON STAND
Witnesses for the Government Assert
That the Defendant Was Sane and
Conscious of.-Her Act at the Time
She Shot Senator Brown.


Conscious Of Her Act at the Time
She Shot Senator Brown.
Washington, Nov. 30.-Two govern
ment experts took the stand in the
trial of Mrs Annie M. Bradley
charged with having shot and killed
former Senator Arthur M. Brown Of
Utah in this city last December They
were Edward NJ Brush of Baltimore
and DR.. Smith Ely Jelliffe Of New
York. They have both been attending
the trial during the last ten days and
have observed the defendant in court
daily. Both experts gave positive tes-
timony to the effect that Mrs. Bradley
was sane when she shot Senator
Brown. They could find nothing in
her family history, her acts or her
physical or mental condition to sug-
gest that she was insane at that time
Rev. DR.. David H. Utter, Mrs. Brad
ley's pastor, who has been referred
to in the testimony as "the priest"
testified concerning conversations he
had with the defendant in Salt Lake
when she told him that Senator Brown
would marry her if he faced a pistol,
but she did not say she would shoot
him; she spoke as if some one else
would force him to marry her..
Rev. David H. Utter, pastor of the
Unitarian church Of Denver, formerly
of Salt Lake, who performed the mar
riage ceremony between Mr.. and
Mrs. Bradley, was the first witness of
the day. DR.. Utter testified that dur
ing conversation with Mrs. Bradley
he expressed to her his belief that
Brown would not marry her. He
urged her to give up her idea of
marrying Brown. She replied: "When
it comes to test and the gun is
pointed at him Brown will accede."
converses With Mrs. Bradley.
After leaving the stand DR.. Utter
took seat beside Mrs Bradley and
comforted her. They freely con-
versed, Mrs. Bradley often smiling at
something he said
Dr. Edward s. Brush of Baltimore,
government expert, declared that in
his opinion when Mrs. Bradley shot
Brown she was perfectly sane.
DR.. Smith Ely Jelliffe of New York,
another government expert, was the
next witness called District Attorney
Baker propounded long hypothetical
question to DR.. Jelliffe covering vari-
GUS threats alleged to have been made
by Mrs. Bradley towards Senator
Brown and her movements and acts
up to the time the shot was fired.
In answering the question Dr. Jel-
life said that at the time of the
shooting Of Senator Brown Mrs. Brad
ley, in his opinion, was sane. Mrs.
Bradley, DR.. Jelliffe declared, was
able at the time she shot Brown to
choose between right and wrong and
was conscious of her act.
When the state rested it's case the
defense called several witnesses. Mrs.
Henrietta Marshall, matron of the
District Jail, was not permitted to tes-
tify regarding Mrs. Bradley's physical
condition when she reached the jail.
Mrs. Bradley was then recalled and
declared that she had no recollec.
tfon of the details of the conversation
with DR.. Utter as related by him.
This concluded the evidence in the

GENES TO the Majestic Theaier, starting
with matinee Tomorrow, might be call
ed a Remington living picture. inasmuch
as the types shown on the stage are iden-
teal with those shown in the artists pic
lures and drawings. The background of
Texas is a glimpse Of parehed. glowing
mesa, blue haze of mountains in the
distance, the shimmering heat waves that
hover over the glowing plains, and the
mantle Of dust thst -avelops everything.
The characters presented In Texas are
bluff, Whole-hearted ranchmen' sWagger-
ing. clustering broncho-busters: cool,
crafty Mexicans: stern, hard-rlding, hard
fighting Texas rangers.
The story Of the play shows the trials
of the frontiersman. the self-sacrihcing
spirit OF the noble women Of the plains,
and the honest. rugged strength Of char
acter seen in the cOwpuncheTs and heroes
of the roundup. a play without villain
would be like a cocktail without a cherry,

and circumstances seem TO point that
