AGAINST DEAD MAN

Loose Trial Nearly
Ended.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Annie
M. Bradley completed her romantic
testimony concerning her relations
with former Senator Brown at 1925
p. m. today.
District Attorney Baker began his
concerning Browns stay in Idaho in
1909.
Baker brought out the statement
from the witness that she was first
arrested for adultery in 1902. Both
she and Brown were arrested on this
charge. Mrs. Bradley said Mrs.
Brown instigated the arrest. Not
outstanding the arrest she continued
her relations with Brown.
She told of the visits of Rv. DIR.
Utter, of Denver, and admitted that
the pastor tried to induce her to
break her relations with Brown, but
she denied that she told Utter she
would force Brown to marry her.
The witness admitted that Brown
was jealous. Several men were men,
toned in letters which passed be-
tween them. One of them designated
as Priest, she admitted was DIR. Ut
ter.
Knocked His Teeth Out
She said Browns Jealous feeling
and suspicious were absurd. She
told OF several quarrels she had with
3rown, in one of which she struck
him in the mouth with an umbrella
and broke his teeth.
"A number of letters were read to-
day and many facts relative to the
intimacy between the woman and

all. however, in line with those pre-
viously developed.
Real Tragedy.
The real tragedy formed the sub
ject OF the sitting this morning. Dis
trict Attorney Baker devoted COM
paratively little attention to the
shooting itself. but going back to the
early days of the relationship be-
tween Senator Brown and Mrs.
Bradley, sought to show by reading
letters and questioning the witness
that she had deliberately undertaken
to break up Senator Browns home
and that she was at enmity with
Mrs. Brown as early as 1901. He also
brought out the fact that Mrs. Brad
ley and Mrs. Brown had originally
been strong friends and that this
friendship even extended beyond the
time of the birth of Mrs. Bradley's
first child by Brown.
Mrst Bradley Agitated.
Mrs. Bradley was upon the whole
more composed today than yester-
day. There were times when she
burst into tears or sank into sighs
and sobs. but these were less fire.
quent than on Wednesday. Her voice
was, however, at all times indlstinct
and faltering, and she was heard
with the greatest difficulty. She made
no complaint of fatigue today, and
left the witness stand in very good
condition. She was dressed in the
same simple black gown she has
worn since the beginning of the trial,
and as before, il was relieved only
by a bit of white lace about the
throat.
The fact that upon first going to
Senator Browns room at the Raleigh
hotel Mrs. Bradley found there a
letter from Mrs. Annie Adams, the
actress. 90 the senator, was dwelt
upon at some length by Judge Pow
ers, making 1t evident that 1t is his
intention to attempt TO show that the
discovery of this letter supplied the
immediate motive for the killing of
Brown.
This letter was filled with endear-
ing terms and Mrs. Bradley admitted
that It angered her greatly, but she
stuck to her statement that she did
not shoot Brown until his attempt
to strike her and cursed her.
The trial will now be rushed to an
early completion as that is the desire
of both counsel.
