LINES OF DEFENSE
FOR MRS. BRADLEY
TOPROVE INSANITY

Through information obtained today.
The Times is enabled to describe along
what lines testimony win be submitted
by Mrs. Bradley's attorneys to prove
that she was temporarily insane when
she killed Arthur Brown.
The plea viii be based on the follow
ing facts:
l Mrs. Bradley had two aunts who
became insane One is now living and
has periodical attacks Of maniacal fury.
The other died. after having had delu-
sions of persecution, accompanied by
homicidaI outbursts.
3 Her father Is now IN a sanitarium
suffering paralysis Of the lower part Of
the body.
8. When she was five years old she was
struck on the head with a hoe. the blow
fracturing the skull and causing a per-
manent prOtuberance Of the bones of the
head.
Operations Affected Mind.
4. Being a woman with the maternal
instinct developed to the highest possi-
bic degree and having been forced to
undergo three criminal operations. the
resultant shocks TO her nervous system
were SO great as TO affect her mind.
8. Being in a greatly weakened physi-
cal condition. the last few months OF
her relations with Brown, the fits of
depression she experienced because of
his i'll treatment Of her tended to un-
balance her reason.
Upon these facts as a Nouudation, the
defense viii rear the whole structure Of

IL behalf Of II will be given by alienists
who are world renowned. They will
testify that insanity comes often by
II redity, and that some OF the other
fI-Cts recited tended to produce 3 pecu-
liar mania in Mrs Bradley
In line with the procedure IN such
cases, these alIenists will be asked to
answer a hypothetical question which
VIII recite the facts just mentioned and
will conclude with queries put in the
following form:
Questions to Be Asked.

Governor Hughes speech was regard
ed by friends Of the Administration as
suggesting approval Of the general atti-
