United States Senator Arthur Brown,
Of Utah, who was slain In a hotel
here last winter. Brown was Mrs

friends, and caused her to commit the

Mrs. Bradley is said to have recov.
cred from the effect Of her recent iii.
ness and has taken deep interest
in the preparations for her trial. She
has declared that she wants no curly.

Ideal, thus expressed: q al
II should like my Jury to be made
up of men who have loved women

one woman deeply and truly-men who
are capable Of understanding the
grand passion should like them
to be men Of good education and Of
refined tastes. should like to have. a
Jury Of men who know and love the
poets. who under5tond art and who
love all that is beautiful and noble
in life."
One OF the most important Witness

co.worker Of Mrs. Bradley and was also
intimately acquainted with Senator
Browns family. Mr.. Utter is said
to be prepared to give It as his opin.
Ion that Mrs. Bradley was Insane when
she killed Brown, and that even her
mad love for the Utah Senator was in
itself a species of insanity.
In an interview the Rev. Utter said:
MRS. Bradley was a woman one could

her for what she endured through her
foolish infatuation for a man she knew
was bad to the heart. But a woman In
