the farm she was not aware that Mrs.
Brown was trying to have the Senator
return to her and live an upright life.
did you say to DR.. Utter that II Sena-
tor Brown did not marry you voluntarily
you would make him?'
Didn't he ask you how you were going
to do 1T? And didn't you reply, Arthur
Brown is a coward at heart and il he re-
fuses 1 will press a revolver against his
hearth"
With a flash in her eye, Mrs. Bradley ut
tered a denial of the statement.
Mrs. Bradley afterward testified that
Brown and she frequently quarreled. and
on one occasion she struck him In the
mouth with an umbrella, because of cruel
things said to her.
Mrs. Bradley also told of Browns pur-
chase of the revolver he gave her. She
repeated that he had told her to use 1t for
protection against Mrs. Brown, adding that
his wife was a very inJudicious person,
and that it might be needed. Mrs. Bradley
said, however, that she had had no fear
of Mrs. Brown. and did not carry the re-
volver on her account.
The questions then dealt with the subject
of Senator Browns jealousy of her and
several names were mentioned as being
involved. including one who was deslg-
mated as 1.-THE priest" She repeated these
names In a letter to the Senator, to which
she added:
Let us forget them and sip life's nectar
from each other"
Mrs. Bradley did not van to say who
was meant by "the priest" but after much
questioning said that Senator Brown al
ways insisted upon calling DIR. Utter "the
priest" She declared there was no founda-
ton for Browns jealousy.
At I1:22 a. m. Mrs. Bradley's cross-ex-
animation was concluded.
Mr.. Powers began the redirect examina-
ton. He read a letter from Mrs. Bradley
to Brown, in which she detailed her finan-
cial condition, told of some new dresses
she had bought, and INDUCED in many pro-
testations of love. The letter was in part
as follows:
zone moment when l reflect on the bit
terness in my life l am filled tooverfow-
ing with anger and resentment. Then,
when l think of you in the winter Of dis
content made glorious summer my heart
leaps to go forth to you in words and
kisses, my darling, child though you think
me. There is no oman's heart stronger
or truer or bigger than mine is to love
YOU and admire you and worship you.
Your success and happiness are more than
anything in the world to me, and wien
they are achieved, / shall be contented.'
This was signed, Your most affection
ate little Mint Julep."
In another letter written In May, 1908,
Mrs. Bradley again referred to her rela-
tions with Senator Brown. Il am wonder
ing she wrote. 'if you are being true
to me. Are you? / am loving you as in
tently as my nature allows or demands,
and do want to feel your arms around
me and hear your loving words.
Arc you asking for divorce?'' she asks
suddenly breaking off, and continuing in
that line proceeds: IF not, when will you
begin? 1 am sewing every day and praying
with every breath that our troubles may
soon end"
1t was in this letter, written from the
Idaho farm. that she gave the admonition
against Senator Browns speaking to Mrs.
Brown. and also admonished him against
doing ''all the compromising" She closed
by declaring that she and the Senator
we're linked closer than the church could
link them.
