 Questions rropounded. There were three auestions which
 were only propounded after Judge Powers had presented complete analysis Of the case bringing out especially the points indicative of men, tai unsoundness on the part of the de-

 S-Assuming all these facts to be true what do you say as to whether when the fatal shot was fired, the patient was sane or insane?" The statement of the case was read from typewriter data and was delib- erately and carefully presented. Mrs. Bradiey's name was not mentioned but the facts were given as applying to woman 35 years of age, which Is the age of Mrs. Bradley.
 Case is Presented.
 We will assume" said Judge Powers ''the case of a woman now 35 years of age, who at the age of five years was struck on the head about two inches back from the frontal bone a severe blow, which rendered her unconscious continuing her to her bed for two weeks. Thereafter. she suffered from headaches until 16 or IT years of age, when after an attack of small pox and pneumonia combined the headaches be- came less frequent. Her grandfather upon the maternal side was at times in- sane. Two of her aunts upon the maternal side became insane, Both had delusions of persecution and both devloped homicidal tendercies, one died insane, one is now living and is much improved mentally. The father of the patient is living but is suffering from paralysis and is unable to travel with out assistance and is gradually grow ing worse."
 He proceeded then to relate the story of the woman's childhood, young womaphood, early education in Colo rado and employment in Utah and passed to her participation in political and club life in Utah. through which and because of her political affilia- 'tion with him. Mrs. Bradley became acquainted with Senator Brown. The particulars of her intimacy with him from 1898 forward and recited minute ly.
 Moods of Dead Man.
 Much is made of the varying moods of Senator Brown, of his extreme kindness at times. and his bitterness and upbraiding at another. It was shown how in 1891 Mrs Bradley was plunged into quite utter despair by his refusal to keep his promise and even was on the verge of suicide. The story of Browns efforts through mutual friends to get Mrs. Bradley to accept a money settlement and how~she replied it was pathetically set forth, Mrs. Bradley declaring even then that she knew Brown would marry her as soon as he could.
 A great deal of space is devoted to the testimony given by the Salt Lake witnesses. all of them friends and most of them associates of Senator Brown. concerning Mrs. Bradleys eccentric and hysterical conduct during the latter years of the woman's relationship with him. Almost all the particulars of Mrs. Bradleys association with Brown dur ing the latter half of November. 1905, less than a month before the killing, when he promised her one day to set her up in business in Goldfield, and the next day would withdraw the promise. was given evidently for the purpose of showing that he played with her trust and affection. Coming then to Senator Browns trip to Washington to which city she followed and there slew him on December 8, 1906 the following is asserted to have been Mrs Bradleys condition:
 Woman Suffered.
 "She had learned that she was about to become a mother again along about | the middle of October and was in delicate condition during the month of November and on, the night of Decem- Der 1. she became i'll, her illness result ing in a miscarriage, from which she suffered during the succeeding days much loss of blood. During the month of November she had not been able to sleep well at night, except by worry. she would sleep soundly Tor many hours"
