by Mrs. Bradley to Detective Burlin-
game, a few moments afte. the shoot
ing. District Attorney Baks, cited the
recent May case as a ~ ecedent, in
which Judge Stafford had admitted a
similar statement, and the court said
that Tor the present, at least, the testi-
mony would be allowed in.
1t Is in brief that Mrs Bradley told
the officer che shot Brown, that she had
brought the pistol with her from Salt
Lake City. and that. although she did
not come east for the purpose of killing
Brown. she had feared for some time
Ihat their relations would end IN some

Most Important Witness.
Sorren Christensen, who proved to
be the most important witness Of the
morning. had previously made a dep
osltion III favor of the defense, but
was called today by the Government.
He had acted. he said as Mrs Browns
attorney. and had had one CONVERSE
ton with Mrs. Bradley at Mrs. Browns
instance asking her to leave the Sena-
tor alone and go away.
II suggested that n good settlen ent
would be a 5000 home, anywhere eX-|
cept in Salt Lake, and 500 per month
perpetually. Mrs. Bradley, as 1 re-
member. said she did not want money,
that she wanted Senator Brown"

in Pocatello. Idaho, In March, 1903. He

and found Mrs. Bradley and the former
Senator there on arrival. AS Mrs.

Had Not Quarreled.
IT said. How is this: I thought you
had quarreled?' She said THAI they had
had no quarrel. but as 1 remember IL
the Senator chastised her, so to speak
for following him to Pocatello. and my
impression IS that the conversation lead
me to believe she had followed with
out his permission. Senator Brown
asked me to wait for him outside and
he stayed with Mrs. Bradley, I pre-
sumo, about one and a half hours.
That night I was present at the hotel
when Mrs. Bradley and hrs. Brown
met IN the hall of the hotel near the door
10 the Senator's room. Mrs. Brown said:

speak to you and jumped at Mrs. Brad

Q.-How did the conversation finally
end?
A-Wen I remember that during the
conversation Senator Brown admitted
that he was the father of Mrs. Brad
ley's two children, but denied being the
father OF Max Brown. At this Mrs.
Brown turned to tie Senator and said.
as / remember, You low, vile, moral
degenerate, a man who would deny
his own son ind admit being the father
Of these two Legitimate children by

the Senator that she would get a di-

Senator Brown replied 70 this by saying
that he would not DO il. that II he did
he would not have money enough to pay
his debts. Then Mrs. Brown said. We'll,
you give me the balance of your prop
erty and you take that and / VIII pay
your debts" This the Senator refused
20 do also. Before they parted. Mrs.
Brown said referring to Mrs Bradley
and talking to Senator Brown: you
