POWERS TO MAKE CHIEF
ARGUMENT FOR DEFENSE
MORE OF BROWNS LETTERS TO
BE READ-CASE ENTERS UP
ON FINAL STAGE TODAY.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Whether the
Bradley case can be concluded this
week or not, it will enter upon its final
stages almost Immediately after the
court convenes tomorrow and it is con-
fidently expected that if the end is not
obtained before Saturday night there
Will be comparatively little to do the
following week. All viii depend upon
the extent OF the wrangle over the
technicalities in connection with the
expert testimony as to Mrs. Bradley's
mental condition when she shot Sena-
tor Brown and the length of the ar
gument for and against her. The
judges instructions to the jury, the
only other important feature TO be TAX
en- into consideration, will not consume
more than an hour at the outside.
Closing Speech by Powers.
There will probably be three speeches
in Mrs. BTadleys behalf. one each by
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Wells iH opening
for her, and one by Judge Powers i'm
closing. For the government Mr..
Turner will open and Mr.. Baker close.
Mr.. Hoover and M Wells do not count
upon consuming more than two hours
/ time between them, but il is probable
that Judge Powers will talk for an en-
! tire day, as he will desire to summar-
/ ize the favorable testimony and ex-
| plain away as far as possible points
against his client. Mr.. Baker will also
speak at length. 1t is therefore proba-
bic that the better part of three days
will be consumed in the speechmaking.
More Letters to Be Read
| The alienists will take the stand very
soon after the beginning of the courts
| sitting tomorrow but not until more
/ of Senator Browns letters to Mrs
| Bradley shall have been read. There
/ will be no effort TO read all of them,
but all that have been summarized i'm
/ these dispatches viii be available for
the jury's consideration in ease it
should be fOHnd desirable to obtain
more light on the subject of his atti-
! tude towards the woman. The letters,
! considerably more than hundred in
number, have all been identified and
they are therefore before the court
even though they may not be read at
/ length.
Experts to Testify.
The professional men who will be in
| trOduced to testify III Mrs Bradley's
| behalf are DR.. Britton D. Evans, med
/ zeal director of the New Jersey state
hospital for the insane, who was one
Z VI Tie CIleI experts called IOf the &c
Tense in the Thaw trial; DIR. Charles D.
| Hill Of Baltimore, medical officer OF
| the Mount Hope retreat and St JO-
! seph's Sanitarium of that city, and Dr.
/ Wilfred NJ. Barton, professor Of gy-
necOlOgy at the Georgetown ID. O.
college, and an expert in mental and
nervous diseases. To these men Judge
| Powers viii detail the story of Mrs.
| Bradley's life and especitlly the part
of it in which she was associated with
! Senator Brown, and repeat in sub
stance the greater part of the testi-
mOny dealing with his treatment of
her and showing how she was affected
by it, after which ne will put the
question to them as to whether they
believe, in view of all these circum-
stances, the woman was sane when she
struck down the man to whom she had
been so deeply attached.
Expected to Say "No."
They are expected to say no" and
in so answering they Will come into
conflict with the alienists for the gov
eminent, DR.. S. r. Jelliffe Of New
York and DR.. Edward s. Brush of Bal
timOre. The two last named men have
been in attendance upon the trial ever
since it began and have been listening
to the testimony both for the purpose
of forming an opinion on the case for
