who was indicted for shooting Senator
Arthur Brown of Utah, are being made

trict attorneys office. The first sub
poena for a witness for the defense has

of Salt Lake, Mrs. J. F. Swasey of San
Francisco and Rev. David Utter of
Denver.
Emotional Insanity.
Mrs. Bradley's defense will be emo
tional insanity. and it is by these wit
nesses that she hopes to convince the
jury that at the time she shot Senator
Brown she was mentally irresponsible.
She expects to prove by these wit
nesses that when she is alleged to have
fired the shot which resulted in the
death of Arthur Brown. that her mind
and brain We're in such a state of dis
ease that she was unable to distin-
guish right from wrong. and her mind
was 50 impaired at the time when the
shots are alleged to have been fired
that she was incapable of acting as a
free agent. but that any act she may
have committed on that date was the
result and product of her diseased con-
dition of mind for which she is not re-
spOnsible.
Interest In Jurors.
Mrs. Bradley has manifested intense
interest in the character of the men
who will be summoned as jurors to sit
in judgment of her. Several weeks ago
she said that she did not want any
men with curly hair on the jury, stat
ing her preference for STRAIGHTFORWARD
men.
Mrs. Bradley is said to have COM
pletely recovered from the effects of
the operation which was performed
upon her at the George Washington
university hospital during the summer
and is anxiously awaiting the begin
ming of her trial Nov. II.

Muldoon opened Il sort of sanitariunl

were well to do New York professional

years. Others had plugged along at

were stagnated. Still others had over
worked themselves mentally, so that
they were in the vortex of nervous
prostration
When they got to Muldoon's they
had boss. The boss was Muldoon.

to eat and when to eat it. Moreover
he ate along with them He told them
when to go to bed and how long to
sleep If one Of the patients could not
sleep the nine hours prescribed. from

tent the next day so that he couldn't
help bat sleep. He gave the patient
extra work that made sleep welcome
and necessary.

the secret of the Muldoon treatment

walk miles. they ride. they labor at
