How did she appear that morning.

ner.
"She appeared very weak, indeed; I
thought she was very glad to get away.
AFTER she reached Ogden on this
ticket she got off the train and bought
a ticket for Washington"
For the first time since the trial, Mrs.
Bradley was late in appearing in court.
| She came In with her attendant, look
ing haggard and worn. She was es-
| corted to the big arm cha that had
been provided to make her as COM

hours she is obliged to attend the ses-
sions of the court.
p. p. Christensen, a lawyer of Salt Lake,
who knew both Senator Brown and Mrs.
Bradley, tfld of his impressions of her.

That was always his opinion of her

she was of unsound mind?"

sisting upon getting on the train. Asked
if he heard their conversation, he said:
II heard a few sentences-a few swear
words"
Mrs. Bradley was clinging to Brown and
| insisting on going on the train with him.
She was speaking nationally. Brown was
trying to get rid Of her. The witness went
into his own train and DIDN'T know
whether Mrs. Bradley went with Senator
Brown.
Mrs. Bradley appeared suddenly and
Brown chastised her for following him
there. On that same OCCASION, he said,
MRS. Brown appeared and engaged
in n personal struggle with Mrs. Brad
ley, cIutching her by the throat and
at the same time ex~claiming, "Let me
kill her!"
Mr.. Brown was in a room about six
feet away, said the witness, and Mrs.
Bradley called to him: Come here, Mr..
Brown. They are trying to kill your
darling" She rushed to Browns door
and asked to be let in. The door was
opened and Mr.. Brown came out. They
all went in a small room and sat down
and had a conversation lasting several
hours.
"At the end of the conversation, said
the witness, Mr.. Brown denied hat he
was the father Of Max Brown, and said
he was the father of two of Mrs. Brad
ley's children.
Mrs. Brown turned to Senator Brown,
and pointing to Mrs. Bradley, said: You
low, vile degenerate"
There were suggestions about getting a
divorce and Mrs. Brown said she would
grant a divorce If the Senator would deed
the farm in Idaho and the house on Brig
ham street to Max Brown, keeping the
rest Of his property. The Senator said
he would not do that, as he would not
have left enough money to pay his debts.
She then said he could keep the farm and
the house und deed the rest of his prop
erty to Max, but he refused to do that.
During the conversation Mrs. Brown told
the Senator he could go, but that she
never wanted to see him come back.
After leaving the hotel ut Pocatello
where this meeting took place Brown.
Mrs. Bradley and the witness went out
and to another hotel, where the Senator
and Mrs. Bradley had a cocktail or two"
What was Mrs. Bradley's demeanor on
this occasion?" asked the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney.
Same as l have always seen her-calm.'
The witness said that in all his acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Bradley she appeared to
him perfectly sane.
The ~abruptness with which the defense
rested its case yesterday in trial, COM
bined with the fact that already four wit
nesses out of fifteen by the
government in nebuttal have testified,
leads to the belief that the case will be
given to the jury possibly Monday OF Tues
day of next week. 1t is the present pur-
pose of the defense not to cross-examine
at length Drs. Jelliffe and Brush, the
government insane experts. or to place on
the stand any witnesses in sur-rebuttal.
1t is, therefore, expected that at the close
of today's proceedings the testimony will
all be In.
Unless there is a change Of program, to-
morrow will be devoted to the preparation
of prayers to the court. Inasmuch as 1t
has been Justice Stafford's aim throughout
the trial to keep from the jury any wran-
Cling of counsel, an effort on the part of
counsel will be made to reach an agree
ment with regard to the prayers SO that
arguments may begin on Friday.
Three newspaper men testified that In
their talks with Mrs. Bradley on the day
of the tragedy they found her rational and
coherent.
Several employees of the hotel in which
the shooting occurred testified that Mrs.
Bradley, while at the hotel, appeared to
be well and rational.
