 She Shot Brown
CROWDSAROUNDCOUR

Washington, Nov. .22.-The de- fense in the trial of Mrs Annie M. Bradley, charged with the murder of former Senator Brown of Utah, in this city last December, to-day en- deavored to strengthen its plea of insanity by introducing expert testi- mony on this subject. Several alien ists of note will take the stand dur ing the day. Among them will be Dr Britton D. Evans, medical director of the New Jersey state hospital for the insane, Dr Charles G. Hill of Bal timore, and Dr Wilfred M. Barton, professor of gynecology in George town university. Although ti is not claimed that Mrs Bradley is now in- sane, these experts will be called to show that for some time previously and on the date of the tragedy Mrs Bradley was mentally irresponsible, caused by the several criminal opera tions and by the many wrongs which Brown is alleged to have heaped upon her, eliminating in his change of heart
 | As the case progresses the interest increases. Long before the doors Of | the court room were opened this morning a crowd of men and women had called on the outside waiting an opportunity to hear some of the testi- | rof c1in1nSn 0f thp fr9lI little woman who has achieved so much notoriety.
 Mrs Bradleys appearance, which was as usual, in advance of the 1n- coming of Judge Stafford, was the signal for the craning of necks. She looked much worn, as if she had had a sleepless night. She took her ac- customed seat back of Former Judge Powers and after a few words with him turned to the reading of her mail. She frightened up when Assistant At torney General Arthur R. Barnes of Salt Lake resumed the stand and she followed him closely, seeming much affected when he related interviews with her concerning Brown. | Mrs Bradley came to my office and talked about Brown marrying her, Barnes testified. "She told me he had many, many times promised to marry her, and that he had promised that before Mrs Brown died to get a di- vorce and marry her. She said he was putting, the matter off and giving her no satisfaction. She asked if would not go and talk with Brown She thought might have some in fluence with him."
 MT Barnes said he refused to do so, and Mrs Bradley then asked what he thought Brown ought to do. "l told her that ih the circumstances Brown should marry her and give his name to the children" witness said. "She begged me to go, and still refused. She cried and sobbed and asked if Senator Brown should send for me would I go, and I told her I would do so. Very shortly after that I was asked to go to Browns office."
 The witness repeated what he had told Mrs Bradley following his talk with Brown. T told her." he said that when I went into Browns office he took me in his private room He then said, Barnes, Mrs Bradley is determined that I shall marry her What shall do; What do you think I'd better do?'"
 Judge H. P. Henderson, formerly law partner of Senator Brown, testi' fled to several interviews with Mrs Bradley, in ona of which he had warned her to stay away from his office. He also told of an effort by both Mrs Bradley and Mrs Brown tC get the senator to sign statement in order that a divorce might be pro cured.
 Judge Henderson, referring to tho relations between Senator Brown anC his wife, declared that Brown had said to his wife in the presence o himself and Mrs Bradley that Mir , Brown had been a curse to him anC that he would not resume relations with her.
 , Judge Henderson also testified that Mrs Bradley had said to hin ] she would be blamed for everythinl and that Brown would escape. Sh, , declared that she trusted BrowI just as the whole people of Utal had done while giving him the high est office they had.
