Mrs. Bradley looked much worn as if
she had had a sleepless night. She car
ried large cream white chrysanthemum
which had been presented to her. Sne
frightened up when Mr.. Barnes resumed
the stand, and followed him closely,
seeming to be much affected when he re-
lated interviews with her concerning
Brown.
Mrs. Bradley came to my office and
talked about Brown marrying her'
Barnes testified. ''She tolu me he had
many, many times promised to marry
her. and that he had promised that be-
fore Mrs. Brown died to get a divorce
and marry her. She said he was putting
the matter off and giving her no salts
faction. She was much disturbed about
1t and asked IL ! would not go ana talk
with Brown. She thought l might have
some influence with him."
Barnes said he refused to do so, and
Mrs. Bradley then asked what he thought
Brown ought to do. Il told her that
in the circumstances Brown should
marry her and give his name to the
children. Sne begged me to go and l
still refused. She cried, and asked If
Senator Brown should send for me would
60 and 1 told her would. Shortly
after that was asked to go to Browns
office"
The witness then repeated what he had
told Mrs. Bradley following his talk
with Brown.
Il told her. he said. "that in my opin-
ion Senator Brown did not Intend to
marry her; that he was deceiving her
and he never intended to marry her, and
I advised her to LOOK at the matter in
that light and try and make the best of
1t. / advised her to leave the city and
take the children to California"
Becomes Agitated
On imparting this news TO her, he said,
Mrs. Bradley appeared very unhappy
woman, depressed and agitated Barnes
said that after Mrs. Bradley went to
Ogden she called him on the telephone
and told him that "the child had been
born, but that it had died three days
afterward."
Speaking of Mrs. Bradley's general
condition at that time, witness said: ut
was most pitiable. I regarded her as
broken hearted woman. I would not say
she was insane except on the one sub
ject of Arthur Brown. l considered her
insanely affectionate. She seemed to be
absolutely under his influence. Barnes
testified that Mrs. Bradley's general rep
utation for peace and good order was
good.
"Was she rationale" asked District At
torney Baker on cross examination.
Eyes and no." replied the witness. who
said further that even when he told her
the truth about Browns intentions she
never seemed to lose her conviction that
he would marry her.
Witness repeated that on all other
points than that Of her affection for
Brown Mrs. Bradley seemed entirely
sane, but he insisted she was not so
when Brown was involved.
Barnes was excused. Judge H. P. Hen
derson, former law partner of Senator
Brown, was called.
He was first questioned concerning
Martin Montgomery, after whom Mrs.
Bradley's second boy by Senator Brown
was named, and said that he was a
Michigan attorney who was an intimate
friend Of Senator Brown. Coming to his
own relationship to Brown. he said the
partnership had begun in 1890. He told
