WILL WAS BROWNS
DEATH WARRANT
Judge Powers Talks Concern
ing the Killing of Former
Senator From Utah.
Especial to The Herald. }

Washington, d. G., Nov. 4.-Judge Or
lando Powers of Salt Lake City today
discussed various phases of the forth
coming trial of Mrs. Annie M Bradley
for the murder of former Senator Ar
thur Brown of Utah
Judge Powers pointed out several sig
nlf1cant features in the will of Senator
Brown which was made in the summer
preceding his death, and which specifi-
cally cut off MIS-. Bradley and her chill
dren from any share in his estate. He
said that the action of Brown in not
only making these provisions but in the
manner he made then, caused people all
over the state to turn from him to the
case of Mrs. Bradley. Judge Powers as
serted before leaving Salt Lake City that
the unwritten law would have no place
quittal
Salt Lake Sentiment.
81 cannot say anything at this time
about the line of defense which we shall
put up" said Judge Powers.
Il am certain. however, of one thing
and that is that if Mrs. Bradley were
on trial today in Salt Lake City for the
crime of which she is accused here. she
would not need a lawyer. Out there the
people are in full sympathy with Mrs
Bradley. At one time, ii is true, senti-
ment was somewhat against Mrs. Brad
ley, but the people did not know half
ut was not until the will of Brown was
published that the real knowledge of what
=.
parable wrong that Brown had done her
were known. Then all in an instant pub
lie feeling swerYed right over to Mrs.
Bradley and I say again that If she were
on trial there today she would not need
a lawyer. The people there know now
the details of life story that they never
dreamed of before. There is nothing but
absolute sympathy for her and utter con-
demnation of Brown.
Will Browns Death Warrant.
''The will of Brown is keynote to the
mans character. The section relating to
are named for him was his death war
rant in the estimation of the people OF
the state. In it he says: L do not de-
wise or bequeath or give anything to any
of the children of Mrs. Annie NJ. Brad
ley. / expressly refuse to give anything
to Arthur Brown Bradley. sometimes
known as Arthur Brown, tr., or to the
other son OF Annie NJ. Bradley. named by
her Martin Montgomery Bradley, and l
refuse to pay or give anything to any
children of said Annie NJ. Bradley. l
do not think either or any child born OF
said Annie NJ. Bradley is my child. but
whether such child or children is or are
mine or not l expressly provide neither OF
them shall receive anything from my eS-
tate, and 1 will and direct that no child
born of Annie NJ Bradley shall receive
anything of my estate.
No Intention of Marriage.
I'm another section of the will Brown
saws: Il have never married said Annie
M Bradley and never intend to. IL she
should pretend that any relation ever ex-
listed between us to justify such lnIer-
ence direct my executor TO contest any
claim of any kind she may present, and /
direct that she receive nothing from my
estate
THAT was the medium through which
public sympathy has been diverted to
Mrs Bradley; that was the medium
through which a public that had con-
demned her when it knew only part ex-
onerated and sympathized with her when
| it knew the whole truth.
