WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted In Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman Of experience whose voice car
rled particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
THE reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, lis because he
has the right kind of wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. l found out long
while ago-shortly after I was mar
ried myself, in fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
Off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
W. won't hear a peep out Of him"
And -2on that unique recommends
ton tn congregation really did give
the man q call. According to last &C
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well The wife has not
been heard from.

The BRADLEY CASE
Defendant Takes Witness Stand in
Her Own Behalf in Trial
at Washington.
AN ADMISSION BY BROWN
A Friend of the Murdered Man Ex
pressed the Opinion That the
Woman's Mind Had Be-
come Unbalanced.

Washington, Nov. POI am SO
tired" said Hrs. Annie Bradley, the
defendant in the trial now in progress
in the criminal court in this city,
few minutes before o'clock Tues
day, after she had spent about four
hours on the witness stand relating
the details of her acquaintanceship
and intimacy with Former United
States Senator Brown, with whose
murder she stands accused, ana
Judge Stafford Immediately gave Or
ders for tie adjournment OF the court.
She had not reached the events di-
rectly connected with the tragedy i'll
which Brown was killed, but had very
closely approached them, and they
will be the subject of the first testi-
mony to be given Wednesday.
Tuesdays story dealt with the first
acquaintance of Mrs. Bradley with
Brown and told how that acquaint-
ance gradually ripened into friendship
and finally into love. 1t was a long
and pathetic narrative Of Illicit afec-
ton; of promises of marriage which
could at first be made only on the
condition of divorces on both sides,
and then of disappointment and grief
when both became free and could
have been legally united if Brown had
been willing. Mrs. Bradley gave the
particulars of many pledges made to
her, told how Brown had introduced
her as his wife, and of how he had
given his name to one of their chill
dren, and also Of how he had aided
her in no less than three criminal
operations. She related many pleas
ant incidents of their life together.
She wore a smile when she spoke OF
her pride in his intellectual attain
ments and told OF their reading to-
gether the principal poets. She said
that he told her over and over again
that she was the only woman he had
ever loved, and averred that by his
manner towards her and his superior
attachments he had gained COM
plete mastery over her.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The story of
FORMER United States Senator Browns
acknowledgment of the paternity of
the two youngest of Mrs. Bradley's
children was told Thursday in Judge
Staffords court by other lips than
hers. / acknowledge Arthur Brown
and Martin Montgomery as my chill
dren by Annie NJ. Bradley" Such was
Mr.. Brown own method Of express
ing himself on the subject and the
legend was inscribed on soiled and
blotted piece of writing paper. 1t was
dated February 10, 1905, and was
brought to light by Colonel Maurice
N. Kaighn, an attorney of Salt Lake
City, the present receiver in the
United States land office in that city,
and a frienu of senator Brown of 80
years standing. Colonel Kaighn was
on the witness stand for about an
hour during the afternoon session of
the Bradley trial and testified that
Mrs. Bradley brought the tell-tale slip
of paper to his Office just after she
received 1t from brown with the ink
not dry, how she fairly danced into
his room and how she beamed with
joy as she held the paper aloft and
told him that now all would be well.
Col. Kaighm related many interesting
facts concerning his association with
both Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley,
and upon the whole made by far the
best witness for the little woman that
has yet taken the stand, herself ex-
cepted. He told in simple but forcible
language Of many dramatic interviews
with Mrs. Bradley and closed with the
expression OF opinion that she had be
come a monomanic on the subject Of
her relationship to the ex-senator. He
said he believed her mind to have
been unbalanced. Il hated to do IT,"
he said. after he left the stand, for
senator Brown was one Of my most
intimate friends. but one cannot trihe
with ones conscience

Washington, Nov. 22-That Mrs.
Bradley did not come to Washington
with an intention of killing Former
Senator Arthur M. Brown, of Utah,
and that she did not even remember
shooting him, she told the jury in her
trial Wednesday. The statement was
not reached until the afternoon ses-
sion of the court, the first half of the
day being given largely to the identifi-
cation OF letters from Mr.. Brown to
Mrs. Bradley and from her to him,
very few of which were read.
The real tragedy formed the sub
ject of the afternoon sitting. At that
time Judge Powers brought out the
full statement in his examination in
chief. This consumed only a few
minutes and as soon as he concluded
District Attorney Baker entered upon
his cross examination. He devoted
comparatively little attention to the
shooting ITSELF but going back to the
early days of the relationship between
Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley
sought to show by reading letters and
questioning the witness that she had
deliberately undertaken to break up
Senator Browns home and that she
was at enmity with Mrs. Brown as
early as 1901. He also brought out
the fact that Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown had originally been strong
friends and that this friendship even
extended beyond the time Of the birth
of Mrs. Bradley's first child by Brown.

tracks east of Spokane. B. E. Palm
er made the statement that only 25
per cent Of the coast traffic of the
Northern Pacific went east of Spo-
kane and the installation of double
trackage on the west end of the road
would do much to relieve the situa-
ton. The completion of the Portland
and Seattle road will give the North
ern Pacific two tracks from Spokane
to the Coast.
