ator Browns law partner, narrated in. |
terviews with Mrs. Bradley relative
to her intimacy with Mr.. Brown and |
a number Of Browns letters to Mrs.
Bradley were read The reading of
the letters furnished the most inter-
esting incident OF the day. They were
filled with mingled protestations of
love and reproaches for interest in
other men and they stirred Mrs. Brad
ley to deep emotion.

o'clock. Albert R. Brown. assistant
