improved area Of the farms OF the
country The successful drainage OF
these lands, he continued, would mean
the addition to the crOp-producing area
of the United States of a strip of
land forty-five miles wide, extending
from Baltimore to San Francisco II
would provide homes for 1000 fami-
lies on farms of forty acres each. AS
suming that the reclaimed areas would
have the same relative value, drainage
would add $4,OOO,OOO to the taxable
property Of the people. National
drainage, he said, would knit moe
closely the ties of friendship between
the north and the south. 1t would
in no small degree compensate for the
frightful ravages of the civil war and
would in a measure simplify a per
picking social problem in the southern
states

the face of the witness, who replied
b 'aefiy to all questions put to him
and lowered his eyes during intervals
in the giving Of the testimony
DR.. Charles Brill, professor Of ner-
vOus and mental diseases in the Bal
timore Medical college, declared that
in his opinion Mrs. Bradley was in
sane when she did the shooting The
many operations performed on her,
her suffering and disappointment and
her hereditary taint of insanity all
combined to produce insanity in her.
He thought she shot Senator Brown
Intentionally, but while belfeveing
that she was doing right in so doing.
A number of witnesses from Salt
Lake in addition to Max Brown were
introduced by the government in re-
buttal, several of whom testified that
Mrs. Bradley, during their years Of
acquaintance with her appeared, at all
times rational and affable. It was
brought out that Senator Brown had
made a proposition to Mrs. Brad
ley to accept n $4,000 house and 800
month until her youngest child
would become II years Of age when
she would leave Mr.. Brown but she
Indignantly refused the offer, saying
that she wanted to marry Brown in
order that her children by him might
be given a name.
During today's testimony, Mrs.
Bradley wept and sobbed and in the
forenoon session gave every indication
that she was about to collapse. She,
however, mustered such strength as
she possessed and concluded the days
ordeal in fair condition.
The resting of the defense came in
the nature Of surprise, as it had
been expected that the alienists would
be kept on the stand for a much Ion
