INSANITY is PLEA.
Foundation Laid by Defense In Bradley

WASHINGTON. Nov. is-Foundation
was laid by the defense today to lay a
plea OF insanity in the case Of Mrs.
Bradley charged with Senator Browns
murder, or more accurately perhaps,
mental responsibility at the time Of
the tragedy. Az on previous days, The
court room was thronged. The prisoner,
frail and weak, almost to the point Of
collapse, sat behind her counsel, mani
Testing comparatively little interest,
Occasionally she exchanged few words
with her attorneys. During the after
noon she sat with her head buried in
her hands without moving.
Evidence adduced today tended to
throw light upon Mrs Bradley's condi-
tion at time Of the tragedy. Newspaper
men and physicians occupied the stand
most Of the day. In each instance the
newspapermen testified that at the time
they saw Mrs. Bradley after the shoot.

who knew before the murder and who
subsequently examined and treated hel

the defense in the trial of Steve Adams
expects to conclude its case Wednesday.
Rapid progress was made today, the
defense putting on several OF its most
important witnesses. Among them were
Fred Price and Newt Glover. Detective
Mcfarland was recalled by the defense
to be asked ii he told Adams there
would be big reward for the convictions
of the murderefs of Ex-Governor Steun-
enberg. The court would not allow the
witness to answer. Alvin Mason was

NEW YORK, Nov. lS.--Satisfaction
was general today in banking circles
because Of the governments plan Of re-
lief TO the market BY the issue Of $780,
100000 in Panama bonds and Sl0O, ,000.-
600 in one year treasury certificates. The
issue Of short term certificates was more
Of a novelty and attracted more discus
sion. The general opinion is that fboth
measures would tend to draw idle money
from private boards and thereby break
the premium on currency AND restore
normal conditions in the money market.
So strong was this feeling that it was
understood that gold engagements would
practically cease after today. Interna-
tional bankers declared that gold already
engaged is as much as New York can
justly take from Europe under strained
conditions which prevail there and to
take more would be only to compel its
return at a later date.
The issue Of short term obligations
bankers declare win meet admirably the
demands of the present occasion. because
they can be taken up and paid for at
the expiration of their term from the
treasury cash balance which can then be
withdrawn without danger from the Gus
tody Of national banks. The response
from the public to the offer Of the new
securities is expected to center largely
on the certificates. Panama bonds pay
ing only two per cent and selling at a
premium are expected to go chiefly to
the national banks to be used as a basis
/ Of circulation.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-President

wisdom and success of the financial re-

administration. Many kilograms from
