agitated.
Judge Henderson, formerly the law
partner of Brown, testified concerning

which he warned her to stay away
from his office. He also told of the ef-
fort Of both Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown to get the senator to sign a
statement in order that q divorce
might be secured.
Henderson testified that Brown said
to his wife in the presence OF Mrs.
Bradley that Mrs. Brown had been
S curse to him and he would not resume
relations with her. Henderson fur
5tfler testified that Mrs. Bradley said
to him that she was blamed for every
thing and that Brown would escape.
She declared she trusted Brown just as
the people Of Utah had done while Civ
4 ing him the highest office they had.
Thought Brown Would Marry Her.
Judge Henderson related an inter-
view in 1903 with Mrs. Bradley, after
her return from the Idaho ranch.
"She said she understood had ad-
yised Brown to go away. I said had.
She said she thought didn't know
all about their difficulties. She then
proceeded to tell me that she was in a
delicate condition. In substance I
said to her If that were true would
have nothing more to do with the mat
ter. nor with him. / then told her
Brown had been telling me for months
that he did all he could to end the re-
D.
clared there was not a word of truth
in his statement; that 1t was under
stood between her and Brown that he
and his wife were to be divorced;
that she and he were congenfal and
that she still believed he meant to
keep his promise. She seemed to go
from one emotion to another. At one
time she would wiring her hands, at
another would appear elated and say it
was all right and that Arthur would
do what he had said he would She
said that she had entered upon the
relationship with the understanding
that she was to become his wife. Mrs.
Bradley made complaint of the fate
that would befall her children in case
Brown did not marry her"
"She said" continued the witness,
"Of course everybody will blame me
and he will escape, yet right here i'll
Utah have done nothing but what the
whole people of Utah have done by Ar

the highest office they had and trust
ed him. she said, but of course the re-
suits are very different That is true
she said. A moment after that she
would build up hope that it was not
true and would be all right"
did she tell you anything that
Brown had done to her person?"
EYES," witness replied "she told me
that with his own hands he had pro-

In reply to another question Judge
Henderson said:
"Mrs. Bradley seemed to be domfn-
ated by two absolutely inconsistent
emotions during this interview, one
succeeding the other. At one time she
appeared full of wretchedness, gloom
and despair, and at another she was all
right and full of hopefulness."
Henderson said that at this interview
Mrs. Bradley seemed much agitated.
He also said Mrs. Bradley's reputation
for peace and good order was good

that IN this interview with him Mrs.
Bradley appeared to be rational, tho
