MRS. BRADLEY TELLS OF
HER LAST INTERVIEW

WASHINGTON, NOV. EU.--I ne NiiH,s
of the Bradley trial was reached tooay
when Mrss Bradley, testitying IN ne 81
own behalf, related the particulars Oh
her final interview with former senator
brown in the Raleigh hotel in this city
last December and gave all details she
could remember of the shooting Which
she was prompt as usual in entering
the court room. and If any one nad pc
lieved that yesterdays ordeal woulo
render her unfit to proceed with mel
narrative 1t must soon have peconle
evident to such person that he had not
tslrer into sufficient account the re-
serve mower of the woman. She DID
not look very buoysant, but she never
does. It cannot be said that there
was much change in her appearance:
she had yesterday related practically
all the details of her life with Senator
Brown during their intimacy or nine
wears and it was understood generalIy
that preliminary statements concern
ing the time just preceding the en-
trance of both parties to the tragedy
in washington she would be led up to
that affair and asked as the only
possible witness to tell the story.
awe shall be brief" said Judge Pow
ers. her Salt Lake attorney in deal
ing with this phase of the case; 1t VIII
not take Mrs. Bradley long 10 give US
all she remembers of 1t.
Court Room Crowded
He expressed the opinion before the
trial was resumed that not more than
ain hours time would be necessary TO
complete the recital. District Attor-
nev Baker thought the cross examina-
ton would consume about three hours,
so that it was apparent from the pe-
ginning of the day that the entire SIT
ting would be consumed by Mrs. Brad
ley The court room was again crowd
ed and more were refused admission
for lack of accommodations than got in.
Judge Stafford had no sooner taken
his seat than Mrs. Bradley resumed her
place in the witness chair. She was
first asked to identify a number of let
ters written her at different times by
Senator Brown and did so.
There were so many of these docu-
ments that forty-hve minutes were
consumed in the mere exhibition of
them. They covered the period from
1901 to 1906 and were presented for
the purpose of showing the relations
between Mrs. Bradley and Mr.. Brown,
but no effort was made to read them.
1t was evident that the sight of the
letters produced conflicting memories in
the witness for she sobbed audibly.
One Hundred Letters Shown
Many of her replies were again in
distinct and the photographer repeated
many of her statements to the jury.
There were more than 100 of the LETT
ters and when their presentation had
been concluded Judge Powers said that
some of them would be read to the
jury later. He then called on the
prosecuting attorney to produce let
j r1rff IN hut RradlaW
which was done.
There were not so many of these as
of Browns. but they covered the same
period. The witness took time to read
some Of these letters and in each in
stance replied in a quivering, faltering
voice. Yes, 1 wrote it,"
Resuming her story, Mrs. Bradley
said she had gone to the Browns house
on the night of November 10 and re-
mained five days. She related many In
terviews during the five days. saying
that Brown did not stay there while
she was there, but that she went to his
office and upbraided him as deceiver.
Renews Marriage Promise
Witness said even as late as Novem-
ber 27, twelve days before the tragedy.
-r. Brown had asserted she should re-
main In Salt Lake and take a house.
At other times he would say he could
do nothing for her and again he would
renew his promise of marriage, when
he would go to GoldheId. New, to live.
Brown. she said. had told her OF his
intention to come to this city. but she
did not know the date. She became i'll
December /, after learning Of his de-
parture, but she did not care whether
She lived or died.
She could not sleep and had no appe-
tfte. Mr. Livingstone had told her of
Browns departure and had given her
money which he said she could use In
buying ticket to so anywhere except
to Goldheld. she decided to go to Los
Angeles and had bought a ticket and
