INSANE At TIME.
Mrs. Bradley Not Responsible on
Day She Go: Brown.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The trial of
Mr.. ANA NJ Bradley was resumed
Monday morning. The prosecution
read to the jury the synopsis of letters
written by defendant at the Raleigh
hotel the day of the tragedy and which
she tore up. One of the letters, posted
together, read: will YOU kindly keep
these? l may. need them"
The hypothetical question prepared
by the defense was put to DR.. w. II.
Barton, 1t was quite lengthy. 1t con-
cluded thus: THE patient was not
naturally Of a vicious nature; she was
not angry when she fired the fatal
shot; she was not animated by jeal-
ousy; she was not animated by any
feeling of revenge, she had not formed
previous to the shooting any purpose
to kill or injure Senator Brown
DR.. Barton is a specialist in neuroi
ogy and a lecturer at Georgetown
university.
There were three questions, which
were only propounded after Judge
Powers had presented complete an
alysis of the case, bringing out espe-
cially the points indicative of mental
unSoundness on the part of the de-
PENDANT. The questions were as fol
lows:
1. Assuming all the facts to be true,
what do you say as to whether or not
at the time the fatal shot was fired
the patient understood the nature Of
her act, was able to choose and dis
tinguish right from wrong, and was
able to control herself to choose the
right and avoid the wrong?
2. Assuming all these facts to be
true, what do you say as to whether or
not when the fatal shot was fired the
patient was mentally responsible for
what she did?
3. Assuming all these facts to be
true, what do you say as to whether
when the fatal shot was fired the pa
| tient was sane or insane?
The statement of the case was read
| from typewriter data and was DELHI
erately and carefully presented. Mrs
Bradley's name was not mentioned,
but the facts were as applying to a
moman thirty-five years of age, which
is the age of Mrs Bradley.
AS Judge Powers proceeded to read
the hypothetical questions dealing
with the relationship between Senator
| Brown and Mrs. Bradley the latter
grew very pale and appeared to be on
the collapse. However, she pulled
herself together and opened her eyes,
which she had closed for several min
utes.
DR.. Barton, at the conclusion of the
hypothetical question, declared Mrs
Bradley insane at the time she shot
ex-senator Brown. Her particular all
ment, he said, was puerpural insanity.
