MANY WOMEN AT THE TRIAL

Washington. Nov. 21.--The story of former U. S. Senator Browns acknowl- edgment of the paternity of the two youngest of Mrs. Bradley's children was told today in Judge Staffords court by other lips than hers.
 T acknowledge Arthur Brown and Martin Montgomery as my children by Annie NJ. Bradley" Such was Mr. Browns own method of expressing himself on the subject and the legend was inscribed on a soiied and plotted piece of writing paper and dated Feb ruary 10. 1905. and was brought to light by Attorney Maurice M. Kaighn. an attorney of Salt Lake. the present receiver in the U. s. Land once in that city and friend of Senator Brown of thirty years standing.
 Colonel Kaighn was on the witness stand for about an hour during the afternoon session of the trial and tes- tined that Mrs. Bradley brought the slip of paper to his office Just after she received 1t from Mir. Brown with the ink not yet dry; how she fairly beamed with joy as she held the paper aloft and told him that now all would be well. Colonel Kaighn related many Interesting facts concerning his assoc citation with both Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley. and upon the whole made by far the best witness for tho little woman that has yet taken the stand. herself Accepted.
 He told in simple but forcible lan~ guage of many dramatic interviews with Mrs. Bradley and closed with the expression of opinion that she had become a monomaniac on tte subject of her relationship to the ex-SenatoF. He said he believed her mind to have been unbalanced.

 The court room was crowded. and ik was necessary to keep all the windows open in order to satisfy Judge Staf~ lords demand for fresh air. Many of the spectators were ladies.
 Late in Arrivtng.
 For the frst time since her trial be- gan. Mrs. Annie M Bradley was five minutes late today in entering the court room, but while even this briex delay caused some comment. the fact soon developed that it was not due to any fndisposition on her part.
 She did not look as bouyant as when she appeared yesterday. but seemed quite composed and was, evidently pre- pared to proceed with the ordeal throuEh which she has been passing for the past two days. She ifslnedi- ately took the stand. and District Att torney Baker began his Questioning by bringing out the facts concerninr Max Browns stay at the Idaho farm in 1902. She said she did not move to the farm because of Msx's presence there. Mir. Baker brought out the statement from the witness that slie was first arrested for adultery in 1909. Both she and Brown had been arrested three times on that charge. Mrs. Bradley said Mrs. Brown had insti- gated the arrests.
 She said that notwithstanding the arrests she continued these relations with Brown. both at Salt Lake and at the farm. Much notoriety was given the case. she said, when the arrests were made She said in reply to other questions that she had continued Co live with Senator Brown notwithstand- ing the exposure of them by the ar rests She also told of the visits of her pastor. Rev. pr. Utter. to the farm in 1909.

 When was the last time you saw pr. Utter?" the witness was asked.
 Two years ago"
 "DId you have any conversation with him about the Senator?'
 Very slight"
 After a long pause, the witness. in answer to another question by MT Baker, declared that at the time Dr. Utter called at the farm. she was aware that Mrs. Brown was trying to have the Senator to return and live an upright life.
 .'Did you say to pr. Utter that if Senator Brown did not marry you vol untarily. you would make hing
 "No. sir"
 .Didn't he ask you how you were going to do 1t, and didn't you reply; Arthur Brown is coward at neaft' ana if he refuses I will press a re- voiver against his heart?
 With fiasn In her eyes, Mrs Brad lev quickly uttered a denial Of the statement.
 Mrs. Bradley was next questioned concerning her meeting ct Pccatcllc with Mrs, Brown and in response to questions proceeded to repeat particu- lars of her interview with that lady. She again told how Mrs. Brown had greeted her in the hall by saying she thought she CAIrs. Bradley) would come
