 ID FACE JURY Case Which Promises to B. One of Most Interesting in Nations History Will Be Called Monday
KILLED A SENATOR
Men With Whom She Would Like to
 Leave Her Fate Must Not Have
 Curly Hair-WOman Is No Coward Says Utah Minister.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Within eel in the grim red brick jail in Wash ington, a little, frail browneyed wo man sits with clasped hands and star ing eyes, awaiting with stoic forti tude the severest ordeal that could come to refined, retiring woman On Monday, unless another delay is granted, Mrs. Anna Bradley will be placed on trial for the murder of eX- United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, who was slain in hotel here last winter Brown was Mrs. Bradley's lover, and, she says, the father of her children. Persistent re- fusals to marry her, as he had prom ised, rendered the little woman tenn porarily insane, declare Mrs. Brad ley's friends, and caused her to con- init the rash deed which ended the life of the man she loved with all her womans heart.
 Preparations for the trial of Mrs. Bradley have about been completed and both the United States attorney and the counsel for the defense are reported to be in readiness to pro- ceed. Several witnesses from the West will be brought here at the ex- pense of the government to give tes- timony for the defense Among these are Judge M. M. Henderson of Salt Lake City, Dr. E. w Whitney of saa, Lake City, Mrs. J. F. Swasey of San Francisco and the Rev. David Utter of Denver
 Mrs. Bradley is said to have re- covered from the effect of her recent illness and has taken a deep interest in the preparations for her trial She has declared that she wants no curly haired men on the jury, and it is a curious coincidence that the judge who will preside at the trial has curly hair, as has also the clerk whose duty it will be to record the pro- ceedings.
 The regular panel of jurors serving in criminal court No. l will first be examined as possible jurors in the Bradley case. The panel includes five grocers, four other merchants. two clerks, two insurance agents, a brick maker, a barber, a bartender, a bi- cycle dealer an ice dealer, a baker, a timer, a publisher, musician, 6 waiter and real estate man.
 From this panel, and possibly oth- CTS similar, is to be secured a jury which will judge this frail litle wo- man, and which she hopes, will come up to her ideal, thus expressed:
 II should like my jury to be made up of men who have loved women perhaps should say who have loved one woman deeply and truly-men who are capable of understanding the grand passion. I should like them to be men of good education and of re- fined tastes. I should like to have jury of men who know and love the poets, who understand art and who love all that is beautiful and noble in life"
 One of the most important witnesses for the defense will probably be the Rev. David Utter, pastor of Unity church, Denver. He was friend and co-worker of Mrs. Bradley and was also intimately acquainted with Sen ator Browns family. MT. Utter is said to be prepared to give it as his opinion that Mrs. Bradley was insane when she killed Brown, and that even her mad love for the Utah senator was in itself species of insanity.
 In an interview the Rev. Utter said: Mrs. Bradley was woman one could well be proud to call friend. I re- spect her for what she endured through her foolish infatuation for a man she knew was bad to the heart But woman in love thinks not of goodness or badness, kindness or cru city, and whether the object of her love be a thief or murderer, the wo- man who is really infatuated over looks this and cares for nothing but that she has the man of her choice"
 In his will, written August 24, 1906, four months before he was shot down at the Hotel Raleigh in this city, Sem ator Brown specifically denied the pa ternity of Mrs. Bradley's children.
 T do not give or devise or bequeath anything to any of the children of Mrs. Anna M. Bradley is the lan- guage Of the will. q do not think either or any child born to Mrs. An- na M. Bradley Is or are mine, but whether such child or children is or
