INSANITY

Utah will hold no session tomorrow, and
as a consequence there will be. no fur
ther proceedings in the trial until Mon |
day When the court adjourned today |
the defense had practically completed its |
presentation of proof, little remaining
except the testimony of experts, which !
will be introduced for the purpose Of
showing that when Mrs. Bradley shot
Senator Brown she was insane.
Today's proceedings in the case we're
devoted largely to what may be des-
ignated as odds and ends in the shape Of
testimony. Mrs. Bradleys mother was
recalled for the purpose Of clearing up a
point; several more of the Salt Lake City
witnesses were examined as to the con-
duct and bearing of Mrs. Bradley In that
city; Mrs. Bradley's uncle Lyman
Shrewsbury of California, told Of in
stances of insanity and eccentricity in
Mrs. Bradleys family; Judge Henderson,
Senator Browns law partner, narrated
interviews with Mrs. Bradley elative to
her intimacy with Mr.. Brown and num-
ber Of Browns letters to Mrs. Bradley
were read. The reading of the letters
furnished the most interesting incident of
the day. They were filled with mingled
protestations of love and reproaches for
interest in other men and they stirred
tened intently to the reading and, closing
her eyes, seemed entirely lost in the
memories they awakened.
The defendant was not in a buoyant
mood during the day. Her manner was
detected, her speech infrequent and she
was pale There had evidently been a
reaction after the conclusion yesterday
Of her testimony. She looked as If she
had had a sleepHess night
She was not so depressed, however that
she could not laugh over the testimony
Of her uncle, indicating that her aunt
had been Jealous of him.
All tue witnesses for the defense from
SUIT Lake City were finally excused today
ana allowed to return to their homes
He Promised to Marry Her.
! The trial was resumed at 1903 o'clock.
| Albert r. Barnes. assistant attorney gem
eral Of Utah. who was on the stand yester-
day for the Defense continued his testi-
mony.
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 divorce and marry
her. She said he was putting the matter
| on and giving her no satisfaction. She
was much disturbed about it and asked IL
1 would not go and talk with Brown She
! thought I might have some influence with
| him"
Mr. Barnes said he refused to do So and
Mrs Bradley then asked what he thought
Brown ought to do. u told her that in
the circumstances Brown should marry
her and give his name to those children"
witness said. "she begged of me to go
] nd effI
and asked If Senator Brown should send
for me would I go, and I told her l would
do so. Very shortly after that was asked
to go to Browns Office"
Barnes Advised Marriage.
The witness then repeated what he had
told Mrs. Bradley following his talk with
Brown. II told her." he said that when
I went into Browns office he took me into
his private room and closed the door He
then said to me- Barnes. Mrs. Bradley is
| determined that l shall marry her. What
shall l do? What do you think I had
/ better do?'"
81 said: Now, senator you have asked
that question and l am going to speak
very plainly on this subject" said Mr.
Barnes, continuing. II said to him, Mrs.
| Bradley claims that these two younger
boys are your children. Now I said
Senator, you have never directly ad-
mitted TO me that they are your children
and I am not going to make any accusa-
tons. but you know yourself, in your own
heart, you know whether these are your
! own children or not. II they are your
children there is but one thing you can
| do as a man OF honor-that is, to marry
Mrs Bradley. Even If you don't live with
her but a day, OF not at all, you should
gNa orfVr
name He said: DO you think so.
Barnes? I replied that I most certainly
did. He then ushered me out OF the door"
Mrs. Bradley heaved a heavy sigh when
Barnes said he never believed Brown in
tended to marry her.
Thought Brown a Deeeivsr.
"I told Mrs. Bradley" he said, that in
my opinion Senator Brown did not in
tend TO marry her. that he was decelvins
her and that he never intended to marry
her and advised her to look at the mat
ter in that light and try to make the best
Of it. I advised her to leave the city and
take the children 10 California"
on impsrting this news to her, witness
said. Mrs. Bradley appeared a very un-
happy woman, very depressed, very much
agitated.
Barnes said that after Mrs. Bradley went
to ogden she called him on the telephone
and told him that 1.-The child had been
born, but that It had died three days
afterward."
Speaking OF Mrs. Bradeys general con
dtion at that time the witness said: 'It
was most pitiable. / regarded her as
broken hearted woman. ! would not say
she was insane, except on the one sub
Ject OF Arthur Brown. I considered her
insanely affectionate. She seemed 70 be
absolutely under his influence"
Barnes testified that Mrs. Bradley's gen
eral reputation for peace and good order
was good.
Was she rationale" asked District At
torney Baker IN cross-examination.
Yes and no." replied the witness. who
said further that even when he told her
the truth about Browns intentions she
never seemed TO lose hope that he would
marry her. Witness repeated that on all
other points than that OF her infatuation
for Brown, Mrs. Bradley seemed entirely
sane. but he insisted that she was not so
when Brown was involved.
Browns wife a Curse 10 Him.
