Washington, D. CT, Nov That
the defense of Mrs Annie M. Bradley
on trial in criminal court No l on
a charge of numbering former United
States Senator Brown, would be in
sanity, was made evident by the pre-
linlinary statement made to the court
by her attorney, Mr.. Hoover. The
prosecution consumed the entire fore
noon concluding the examination Of
lis witnesses in chief to prove facts
of the killing and when it rested, Mr..
Hoover followed with his preliminary
outline of the case for the defense.
h He detailed the principal events of
Mrs. 1Bradlsy's life and entered into
the circumstances of her intimacy
with Mr.. Brown, saying that it would
be proved that she was completely
under his domination. He forecasted
testimony that would be addueed to
Iishow that she was mentally irrespon-
ISsible when she fired the fatal shot.
He also said that it would be shown
that Mr.. Brown had performed more
than one criminal operation upon her
with his own hands and that he had
presented her with the pistol with
I which she killed him, telling her that
l4she should use it on his wife if she
hgave her trouble. 81 .<&.,.
/ According to Mr.. Hoovers state
! ment it will also be shown that there
lis a faint of insanity in Mrs. Brad

Of 10 per cent.
In the present condition of the morey
market the total delinquency would be
extremely large, and the question arose,
could not these taxes be paid in clear
ing house certificates?' State Treasurer
Williams replied that he would accept
certificates In lieu of money IL his bonds
men were willing.
Mr.. Bantel said that so far as city
taxes were concerned he could do the
same.
The suggestion, however, was not IA
vored by the bank representatives pres
ent. They urged the necessity of put
ting boarded money, in immediate circu-
lation and called attention to the fact
that an extra session of the legislature
would save delay of eighteen months in
the ratification of the bonds and deposit
amendments and would enable the city
treasurer to Immediately put into circu-

refrain from disclosing his intention 1t
was gathered by those present at the con-
ference that he was deeply impressed
by the arguments advanced and inclined
favorably to the call.

was being sentenced to death by his

Gen. Sierra as president. The two Bo-

Disease Is Increasing Rapidly in New

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Infant paralysis,
of which the greatest epidemic known in
the history of the world has just passed
over New York city. was the subject of
a discussion last night at the New York
academy of medicine.
Concerning its origin, and even its
treatment, there is much mystery and SO
far it has proved disease which has
almost baffled medical science.
DR.. Virgil P. Gibney, a surgeon at a.
hospital for children, spoke of the great
increase in the number of cases last year
In the institution with which he is con-
nected. The months of June to Novem-
ber, 1906, only had thirty-nino cases, while
for the same period this year there had
been 378, a tenfold increase.
Dr. Gibney strongly advocated that
heavy braces be used to prevent deform-
tiles. He urged that conference of neu-
rologists be called to pass upon a treat
ment by electricity. He also thought that
various counter-irritants might be en-
ployed with advantage.

period. He did not check off the cash
balance, it Is said, but took Atwells word
for the amount supposed to be on hand.
Atwelrs defense will be that he was

Gillett today held a number of confer
ences with state and city officials and
representatives of financial and business
interests on the question of calling an
extra session of the legislature to pass
emergency measures in view of the pres
ent financial stringency.
The governor listened for over an hour
to the arguments of leading bankers,
real estate men and others who urged
the necessity of convening the Legislature
to provide relief, especially In the mat
ter Of the delinquency of taxes.
He declined. however, to give his de-
cision until he had given the matter
further consideration 1t was the opin-
ion of those who were present at the
conference that the governor would ac-
cede to their request.
Governor Gillett stated to the Asso-

vet decided whether or not he would call
a special session of the legislature, as
urged. and that he did not think ne would
take any action or make known his de-
cision this week.

The need of special session of the
legislature was presented to the gov
ernor on two grounds. First, to ratify
at once the adoption of last Tuesdays
election of the charter amendments, rails
ing to per cent the limit of interest
uayable on municipal bonds and empow-
ering the city treasurer to deposit pub
lie funds in the banks instead of hoard
ing it in vaults. Second, to enact an
