 1t was 11:15 a. m., when District Att torney Baker announced the govern ment's satisfaction with the jury. Nc Hoover responded for the defense w ith a similar statement and for the first time. the prisoner faced the twelve men who are to determine her fate. They were sworn. and without further cere- mony Assistant District. Attorney Tur- ner began the presenting of the gov ernment's side of the case.

 He told how Mrs. Bradley had gone to the hotel and registered as Bro gn's wife: Of how she had sought him out at his room and upon her second yiais had fired the two shots which. live days afterwards, sent the man to his graves Y finally of two ehaIpher maids and the proprietor of the notcl entering the room after hearing the shots fired and finding the wounded man lying upon the floor.
 The hotel proprietor asked who shoi him and he replied by pointing to Mrs Bradley, saying, that woman over there" Brown was then asked if she was his wife. and. both he and Mrs. Bradley rel lied in the negative, she adding that while she was not his wife. he was the father of her child rem" T
 MT. Turner said it would be shown also that Mrs. Bradley had said that her act was deliberate, "f,'' he said tn conclusion, 'the government succeeds in proving these things and If you believeA it was a deliberate murder, I think 1t would be your duty to return verdict of guilty as indicted"
 Mrs. Bradley was visibly affected as the recital proceeded. She closed her eyes. but did not approach break down.
 The first witness called was David T. Nelson. the clerk, who was on duty and asked for "Mr. A. Brown" saying that she was Mrs, Brown. His testi- mony contained little information be- yond the fact that he had given Mrs. Bradley a separate room from that oc- cupied by MT. Brown. Josephine Kid-
 
 of the two visits of Mrs. Bradley to Senator Browns room. She said Mrs. Bradley had first come to the room about o'clock in the morning and, finding the Senator out, had taken a seat and remained a few minutes. About 2:30 o'clock of the same day. while occupied in an adjoining room, Miss Kidwell heard two shots and had distinguished 8 male voice crying help, help.' l then entered Browns room, she said, and saw Brown lying upon the floor and Mrs. Bradley near him.
 Chief Clerk owen, of the hotel, cor roborated much of the testimony given by previous witnesses. He said that he had accompanied Lawyer Gum to Mr. Browns room and that Brown had said to Gum:
 "You know this woman; well. we've had it out and this is the result" Chief Porter Holtzielaw, of the hotel, who turned Mrs. Bradley over to a police man, said that she had only said then that she would make no statement until she could see United States Senator Sutherland. He had understod Senator Brown to say that ''he wanted Mrs Bradley taken care of."
 Policeman Lamb related the particu- lars of the woman's arrest, saying that she old him she had done the shoot ing. She gathered up a number of let ters in Browns room before starting with the officer. After reaching the police, station, Mrs. Bradley repeated the statement that she had shot MT. Brown and appeared very anxious to learn of his condition. An effort to draw out from Officer Lamb and from other members of the police force, the details of a statement said to have been made by Mrs. Bradley after she was taken to the police station was made, but the defense objected and when at o'clock, court adjourned the | statement had not been admitted.
