charge OF numbering Arthur Brown. for
mer Senator from Utah, ended to-day with
the examination Of the last witness for the
defence. except the alienists. who will
lake the stand on Monday. The testimony
to-day added little Of interest to what has
already been told outside Of the evidence
in support Of the insanity plea. This feat
ure OF the defence was emphasized by
what occurred to-day. H. p. Henderson,

ON all subjects except Arthur Brown
the defendant wa in my judgment per-
tectly sane said Mr.. Barnes in his testi-
mony. but AZ to him. her relations with
him and their children she was mentally
unbalanced. l told Brown so and warned
him"
Judge Henderson told the Jury Of the
shock that came to him when he discovered
mat Brown. his law partner aC the
time. had performed criminal operations
upon Mrs. Bradley. He admitted that
Mrs. Bradley testified correctly when
she said on the witness stand hat
he wept on hearing the story. He
added that he told Mrs. Brown the story
and then proceeded promptly over Browns
protest to dissolve his professional rela-
tons with the former Senator. He gave
night in Browns law Office, 10 which he
was summoned while a member Of the
law firm. He found Mrs. Brown, Mrs,
Bradley, Arthur Brown and the firms

curse of my life"
Judge Henderson testified that Brown
refused to allow Mrs. Bradley to speak
10 his wife when the latter sought a private
interview, saying: Don't have a word
with her. Dolly" The witness said he
was very much Disguised with Brown
and took Mrs. Brown by the arm and
escorted her home, saying hat ne felt it
was no place for her.
The insanity plea was still further
strengthened by the testimony of Lyman
Shrewsbury. postmaster at Bonnie Doom,
Cal. n uncle of Mrs. Bradley. who gave
evidence that his wife. "a sister OF Mrs.
homicidsl tendencies, and that another
sister of Mrs. Bradiey's mother. Mrs. W. II
