save Mrs. Anna Bradley, who shot
and killed ex-senator Arthur Brown,
OF Utah, in his apartments Mt the
Raleigh hotel last December, after he
had refused to marry her, will soon be
known. as the case is set for trial
next week. 1t is probable that the
attorneys for the defense will seek to
secure further delay, but whether
il will be granted is not definitely
/ known.
II Geroge p. Hover. the Washington
attorney who has been retained in
Il defense of Mrs. Bradley. is respon-
! sible for the assertion that mental
/ irresponsibility will be pleaded in her
/ behalf. Mrs. Bradley, If well enough
will go on the stand and tell her
tragic life story to the jury. Five
| Witnesses from Utah and other west
ern states have been summoned One
of these is Judge Henderson, former
law partner of the late Senator
Brown. who dissolved partnership
with the senator because of his un-
] speakable cruelty to Mrs. Bradley
The Rev. David Utter, pastor of the
/ Unity church, Denver, friend and
co-worker of Mrs. Bradley aid who
was also intimately acquainted with
Senator Browns family, will give it
as his opinion that Mrs. Bradley was
insane when she killed Brown. Testi-
mony and dispositions to this effect
will also be given by mary other
western witnesses.
1t is possible that letters alleged
~ hn In tho nngGnGgfnn of ha
authorities, written by Mrs. Annie C.
Adams, mother of Maude Adams, the
actress. to Senator Brown, will be
introduced. Mrs, Adams and the SEN
ator were personal friends for years,
and it is intimated that Mrs. Bradley
was insanely jealous because the let
ters that passed between them.
Although Mrs. Bradley is penni-
less and there will be no millions
available for the defense, she will not
lack competent legal assistance. Six
attorneys will appear for the broken
little prisoner, headed by Judge Or
lando w. Powers, of Salt Lake City

planningg her defense, fully realiz-
ing the Importance of the case in
which she is involved. One of her
! decisions is peculiarly feminine in
that she has informed her attorneys
that there must be no curly-haired
man on the jury that will decide her
fate.
"I detest curly-haired men," de-

is never broad-minded or liberal in
his views. There are strange little
curls ia his nature as well as In his
hair that make him unreliable. Wo-
men should be all curls and curves,
but men should be built on straight
! lines"
Mrs. Bradley continued: 81
4 should like the jury made up of men
who have loved some woman strong
| ly and deeply-who have known the
heights of the grand passion. l
should like a jury of refined men,
| those who who know and love poetry
They would understand my madness.
| for they would know that all men
and some womeu-kill the thing
| they love-
That the love existed between Sem
ator Brown and Mrs. Bradley was
poetical and beautiful, even though
enveloped in shadow and unsancti-
| fed by law or religion, there is no
doubt That Senator Brown openly
boasted of his love for the fair little
woman, the mother of two children
whom he at all times admitted as
his own, and that Mrs. Bradley loved
him with all the intensity of wo-
mans heart is shown in the hun
drods of letters which passed be-
tween them, and which Will be in
! troduced in evidence at the trial.
/ In his will Senator Brown denies
that either of Mrs. Bradley's child
/ rem were his, and stated II have never
married Anna NJ. Bradley and never
intend to-" This document was hled
four months before the senator
death, and by 1t he bequeathed all
his property, valued at about 900,
to his two children by his first and
second wives.
In his letters to Mrs. Bradley,
which will no doubt produce a sensa-
ton at the trial, Brown Acknowledges
the paternity of the two children
whom he disowned in his Will. A
| mong the statements made in these
letters are the following: ~
Take good care of our little
i Arthur Brown" 81 am determined
more than ever that we shall soon be
before the world all that we are TO
each other" 81 am still determined
TO go through life with you When
