Declared His Affection.
PREVIOUS to her awakening to that fact,
ne had expressed great affection for her
In many ways, and was tender and kind
and courteous to her. He made to her
protestations of his love and she believed
him, and she came to love him so strong
ly that it was beyond description. There
was a child born to them in February,
1900. and their relations became thus in
innate in January, 1899. The senator told
her great deal of his life. that he was
told her all the intimate t.,ngs of his
life. She told him that this could only
lead to sorrow and grief. but he said:
Never, never. No matter what should
protect me to the end of his life'
Finally, she said, latter I had avoid

be with him, in November he came at
unseemly times and 1 said he must not

he was strange man. One day he came
to her and said, We are going on

Visits to Idaho Farm.
The visits to the farm in Idaho and the
scenes there and in Salt Lake City, in
which Mrs. Brown as we'll as the two
principals participated. are set forth in
detail evidently for the purpose of show
ing that Browns wife was at one time
practically party to the divorce proceed
ing. Much is also made of the efforts of
Mrs: Bradley's pastor. DR.. Utter; her
aunt. Mrs Sweeney. and of others to get
| her to sever her relations with Brown and
Of his refusal to permit her to do so.
| All the facts of the various arrests Of
Brown and Mrs. Bradley on the charge Of
aduitery are set forth. as is also the con-
tention by the defense that Brown bought
for her the pistol with which she shot
| him, telling her to use it in protecting
herself against Mrs. Brown. The Incl
| dent OF the senator's driving her from his
| farm in 1908. soon after a visit of Mrs.
! Brown. when she was about to become a
| mother for the second time. is also told
| Previous to this time Mr. and Mrs. Brown
had been separated. but they had then
begun again to live together. but the testi-
money going to show that he told Mrs.
Bradley that this reconciliation was not
one of good faith and that he resumed his
| relations with Mrs. Bradley is quoted at
length. The facts of Mrs. Browns death
and of Mrs. Bradley's divorce from her
| husband, which she procured at Browns
instance. both In 1905. are narrated at
| length.
Much Is made of the varying moods of
Senator Brown: of his extreme kindness
at one time and his bitterness and up
braidings at another. It is shown how in
1905 Mrs. Bradley was plunged into utter
despair" by his refusal to keep his
promises. and even was on the verge of
suicide. The story of Browns efforts
through mutual friends to get Mrs Brad
ley to accept money settlement and how
she repealed 1t was pathetically set forth,
Mrs. Bradley declaring even then that she
knew Brown would marry her as soon as
| he could.
Salt Lake Witnesses.
| A great deal of space is devoted to the
testimony given by the Salt Lake wit
nesses. all of them friends and most of
them associates of Senator Browns, con-
corning Mrs. Bradley's eccentric and
hysterical conduct during the latter years
Of the woman's relationship with him.
Almost all the particulars of Mrs. Brad
! ley's association with Brown during the
latter half Of November, 1906. less than a
month before the killing, when he would
promise her one day to set her up in
business in Goldfield, New, and the next
would withdraw 1t, indicate that the prom

Coming then to Senator Browns trip to
Washington and Mrs. Bradley's pursuit
and the shooting on December 8. 1906, the
| following is asserted to have been Mrs.
| Bradley's condition:
| "She had learned that she was about to
become mother again along about the
middle of October. and was in a delicate
condition during the month of November.
and the night Of the LIST day of December
she became i'll. her illness resulting in a
miscarriage, from which she suffered dur
ing the succeeding days much loss of
| blood. During the month of November
| she had not been able to sleep we'll at
nights. except at times, when. thoroughly
| exhausted by worry, she would sleen
soundly for many hours"
