reading the hypothetical question to the witness. but before its conclu- sion. court, at 1Ss13, took recess.
 When the court reconvened at 1:l5 p. m., the reading Of the hypothetical question was contfnued and upon it's conclusion. Dr. Jelliffe said that as- suming the statement of facts to be true. he believed Mrs. Bradley was sane when she shot Senator Brown.
 There are no evidences that she was insane. either direct or implied" said Dr. Jelliffe. "On the contrary, there are abundant signs that she was national and coherent throughout the whole period covered In and about the time of the act. There were no marked signs of mental confusion or loss of mental action because she rec ognized very clearly footsteps of a person at the time. was able to grasp the siKnificance of the words. Come in. and heard and recognized state ments made to her. Immediately fol- lowing the shooting she recognized the man crying for help, recognized that he swore. that he walked back and forth in the room, showing that she was clear in her mind as to the actions of the man who had been sh ot. There were no signs of loss of memory, but there were definite signs showing she knew she had done it."
 The witness believed she understood the nature of her act and could have selected the right from the wrong.
 No Mental Impairment.
 Dr. Jelliffe said there was no tes- tiinony in the case to show that there was any evidence of any continuous form of mental disease in Mrs. Brad ley from any date whatever. and there was no mental impairment. such as would constitute insanity.
 From your understanding of the hiss tory of this case, were there any evil dence of puerpural insanity?" asked the District Attorney.
 There Is absolutely no evidence of puerpural insanity" Dr. Jeliffe replied.
 pr. Jelliffe emphaticaIly stated that in his opinion Mrs. Bradley did not have toxic insanity when she shot Senator Brown.

 MT. Jelliffe said he had been called here by the government to testify in this case but he would have given his opinion that the defendant was insane as readily as that she is sane had he so believed. !
 The witness was questioned by coun- sel for the defense in order to show whether he was in any way influenced in his opinion in this case. but he de- clared that he was at all times un- biased and as ready to testify that the patient was insane as to testify that she was sane.
 With the conclusion of Dr. Jeliffe's testimony, the government rested its case The defense then submitted to the court It's prayers in the case.
 Mrs. Bradley was then called to the stand by her counsel. She was calm and showed countenance of great i'm telligence as she replied to questions. She spoke in low tones. She said she had no recollection of tho conversation Rev. pr. David Utter testified he had had with her in Salt Lake City In 1905. She testified that she~ changed her clothing at tie hotel where the shoot ing occurred but did not again see that which she had discarded until 1t was discovered fin her satchel.
