The Washington herald., 1907-11-28

In the trial Of Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley,
charged with the murder OF former Sena-
tor Brown, the government submitted
testimony in rebuttal
Among the witnesses was Asa B. Nose
ley. ticket agent at Ogden, who testified
when shown Mrs Bradleys railroad
ticket. purchased for her by Archibald
Livingstone under instructions from Sena-
tor Brown for use between salt Lake
and Los Angeles. that no portion OF il
was used.
This, according 70 the government.
fatty contradicts Mrs. Bradley's testi-
mony that when the train left Salt Lake
she intended to go to San Francisco, and
not Washington. Ogden is about forty
miles from Salt Lake. and 1t is the
theory OF the government that Mrs Brad
ley made up her mind in Salt Lake to
come to Washington, and took the ticket
with the intention Of paying her fare 10
Ogden and there changing the ticket. 1t
viii be contended that this destroys the
defense's contention that Mrs. Bradley
was seized with an uncomfortable and
insane impulse after the train left Salt
Lake. or just before ogden was reached,
and changed her plan and came 70 Wash
ington.
Interview in a Hotel.
Soren X. Christensen testified that Sen
ator Brown. at the interview in the hotel
in Pocatello, Idaho, in March. 1903, at
which were present himself, Mrs. Brown.
and Mrs Bradley. admitted he was the
father of Mrs. Bradleys children. but
denied the paternity OF Max Brown He
said this greatly angered Mrs. Brown,
who called him a degenerate, and Mrs.
Bradley that skunk Of a woman"
All Of Mrs. Adams letters to Senator
Brown found in Mrs. Bradley's posses
sion when she was searched at the First
precinct station We're also offered in evil
dence but We're not allowed to be read,
as Mrs Bradley had testified she had not
read them. and hence il was ruled they
had not exercised any influence on her
mind, and were therefore, not admiss-
able. The letter which Mrs Bradley did
read has already been placed in evidence
and read 20 the jury.
District Attorney Baker announced that
in no circumstance would these letters be
given out for publication
Dr. Smith L. Jelleffe, New York alien
