WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-Interest in
fhe Bradley trial to-day centered upon
the efforts Of the government attorneys to
shatter the effort Of the pathetic story
she has told Of her love- her disgrace and
the catastrophe to which it led
This completed, the expert alensts VIII
come forward to pounce upon the validity
OF the plea Of insanity. In this phase ot
the trial will appear the hypothetical
question prepared by Judge Powers.
The question is based on these propo-
sitions:
First-That Mrs. Bradley had two aunts
who became insane with homici6al acts
and that her father is now In a sanita-
rum, paralyzed.
Second. that the blow on the head with
the hoe, when Mrs. Bradley was five
years old injured her mentally.
Third. That a woman with the maternal
instinct as strongly developed as it is in
Mrs. Bradley according to record fro
quently have delusions that they are
prosecuted under certain conditions.
Fourth That the fits Of depression and
elation. resulting from Browns quarrels
and reconcliations unbalanced Mrs. Brad
ley's reason.
Fifth. That the revelation OF Browns
treachery. a revelation that came TO Mrs.
Bradley by reading the Annie Adams
letter in Senator Browns room in the
Raleigh Hotel. the morning Of the shoot
ing dethroned her reason.
The 1--WE propositions viii be followed
by three questions:
First, assuming all these facts to be
true. could Mrs. Bradley distinguish be
tween right and wrong?
Second was she mentally responsible.
Third, was she insane.
Searching Questions.
District Attorney Bakers cross-examin-
alton Of Mrs. Bradley has been search
ing and minute. At the conclusion he en-
deavored to raise a doubt whether recital
which so wrung the hearts Of those In
the court room was truthful or the
achievement of a skillful actress. 1t was
noticeable that when she was led back
by Attorney Baker for tho second time to
the beginning Of her story. her attitude
changed. She was not only the woman
suffering. but the woman fighting, and her
replies were direct and crisp without the
sobb.ng and apparently irrespresslble grief
that characterized her first account. She
was even cheerful, at times she smiled,
when the little vagaries Of Browns court
ship we're explained. Whether 1t was re-
lief at finishing her ordeal such as il
appeared in the first disclosures Of hei
shame or inability to reta n her former at
titude the jury itself must answer.
Under District Attorneys Prooe.
Mrs. Bradley was nervous as she wen
to the witness stand to-day but replied
to District Attorney Bakers questions
with firm and even voice. He resumed The
examination with Mrs. Bradley's goine
to the farm, where in 1902 she saw Ma1
Brown. son OF the former senator. who
objected to her presence there. The Incl.
dents were followed up TO the arrest OF
Brown and Mrs. Bradley in Salt Lake
