WASHINGTON, April Mrs. An
ME NJ. Bradley, who shot and killed
former Senator Arthur Brown of Salt
Lake, in his apartments at the Raleigh
hotel after he had refused TO marry
her, will soon be put on trial for her
act. She is Penniless and three thou
sand miles from her friends. Even
her counsel will not be paid, and the
Government will be asked TO bring her
witnesses to Washington. She will ask
for acqmttal on the ground that she
shot Brown only after he had refused
to right the wrong done her as he had
repeatedly promised to do.
That Senator Brown openly pro-
claimed his love for Mrs, Bradley. and
that she loved him with all the intensity
Of woman's heart, is shown In hun
dreds of letters which passed between
them and which arc now III the hands
of Mrs. Bradley's counsel. Her letters
are womanly and pathetic, They breathe
Of high Ideals and tell of her efforts
TO return to the proper path, even to
the extent of giving up Senator Brown
if he would but support their children.
They show that every such effort on
her part was frustrated by HIM, even
while declaring his love for her and
representing that he was only waiting
the opportunity TO marry her and so
right the wrong he had done her. He
forced her 10 make herself a part of
his life by writing daily and tclcphon,
ing her even more frequently,
Letters Tell of Her Love.
Here is an extract from letter writ
ten by Mrs. Bradley to Senator Brown
while his wife was yet alive;
