that she loved him very deeply.
Previous to her awakening to that fact
he had expressed great affection for her
In many ways and was tender and kind
and courteous to her.
He made to her protestations OF his
love and she believed him, and she came
to love him so strongly that it was be-

born to them in February. 1899. The SEN
ator told her a great deal OF his business.
that he was unhappy and very wretched
man. He told her all the intimate things
Of his life. She told him that this could
only lead to sorrow and grief. but he said
Never, never. No matter what would
come. he would always stay with me and
protect me TO the end of his life. Finally
she said after I had avoided him for
several months. for I feared to be with

times and l said he must not do it, but
he would come and she says he was

are going on through life together; you

of his efforts to procure divorce in order

that he gave her a wedding ring In 1901;
of the many miscarriages and ahortions
she is alleged to have undergone, and OF
various other facts In the case, the mar
rative goes on from one stage to another,
showing that Brown would not consent
to the woman's return to her husband, al
though she manifested a disposition to do
so, but insisted upon maintaining his re-
lations with her.
Refused to Give Her Up
The visits to the farm in Idaho and
the scenes there and in Salt Lake City, IN
which Mrs. Brown as well as the two
principals participated, are set forth in
detail, evidently for the purpose OF show
ing that Browns wife was at one time
practically a party to the divorce proceed
ing. Much Is also made of the efforts of
Mrs. Bradley's pastor, DIR. Utter. her
aunt. Mrs. Sweeney. and of others to get
her to sever her relations with Brown,
and OF his refusal to permit her to do so.
All the facts of the various arrests of
Rrown and Mrs. Bradley on the charge of
adultery are set forth as is also the con-
tention by the defense that Brown bought
for her the pistol with which she shot
him, telling her to use 1t in protecting
herself against Mrs. Brown.
The incident of the senator's driving her
from his farm in 1908 soon after a visit
of Mr.. Brown, when she was about 10
become a mother for the second time. is
also told. Previous TO this time Mr.. and

had then begun again to live together, but

sumed his relations with Mrs. Bradley is
quoted at length.
The facts of Mrs Browns death and of
Mrs. Bradley's divorce from her husband,
which she procured at Browns instance,
both in 1905, are narrated at length.
Brown Man of Moods
Much is made of the varying moods of
Senator Brown; of his extreme kindness
AT one time and his bitterness and up
hraidIng at another. 1t is shown how, in
tJ05, Mrs. Bradley was plunged into quite
utter despair by his refusal to keep ms
PROMISES, and even was on the verge of
suicide The story of Browns efforts
through mutual friends to get Mrs. Brad
ley to accept a money settlement and
how she repelied II was pathetically set
forth, Mrs Bradley declaring even then
that she knew Brown would marry her as

testimony given by the Salt Lake wit
nesses all of them friends and most of
them associates of Senator Browns. con-
ccrniug Mrs. Bradley's eccentric and hys"
tcrical conduct during the latter years of
the womans relationship with him.
Almost all the particulars of Mrs. Brad
ley's associations with Brown during the
latter half of November, 1906, less than a
month before the killing, when he would
ntonaise her one day to set her up N
business in Goidield, New, and the next
would withdraw the promise, was given,
evidently for the purpose of showing that
he played with her trust and affection.
