WASHINGTON, Nov 20.-Much
shaken with the strain of her expert
ences on the witness stand yesterday,
Mrs. Bradley nerved herself to-day 10
face the greater ordeal Of bringing her
narrative 70 tho tragic close. The first
part Of the story had to do with the
early acts of the drama in which Salt
Lake Citv was the scene. These were
days of happiness, of hope, and thcn
Of despair The final act, the burden
Of her story to-day deals With shei
shooting OF the man she loved
While Mrs. Bradley has been giving
her testimony, two alienists sitting he
hind District ATTORNEY Baker and his
aides, have been scrutinising her close
ly taking frequent notes These men,
who appeared in the Thaw trial, viii
bring all their experience to bear TO
break down the effect OF the narrowing
recital.
The first day Of Mrs. Bradley's testl-
mony left few Of the crowd that listen
ed to II with dry eyes. Women wept
with overpowering sympathy for the
little woman struggling with her own
grief. But there was one who sat
dry-eyed through it all Max Brown,
son OF the man whose deeds are the
warp and woof Of this tale of suffering
learned forward TO catch every falter-
ing word, but his face was tense and
drawn as II in resignation 10 the awful
tale
As early as six o'clock in the morn
ing they began to arrive a shiverirg
breakfastless crowd Of curiosity-mad
women, whose chief aim in life seemed
TO be the securing OF seats in the
court room to hear the closing chap
ters Of Mrs. Bradley's story. In thc
space set aside for the public and
thrown open half hour before the
court convened at 10 o'clock there was
not a score Of men. The woman,
packed closely together and chattering
like magpies, were cautioned by the
officers to keep silence.
Yesterday Justice stafford censured
the women spectators 5or their un
seemingly curiosity.
To-day the warning was repeated.
l The spectator to rise in order to inn
prove his or her viewpoint Of the
| prisoner will be Immediately removed
Mrs. Bradley looked very weak, hut
she was composed as she took her seat
beside her attorneys. She entered into
conversation at once with Judge
! Powers, her chief counsel.
When she resumed the stand the let
| ters written By Brown to Mrs. Brad
/ ley. and confirming the protestations
of his undying affection. to which she
| testified yesterday, were identified by
/ her and offered in evidence. These
will be read later. Mrs Bradley quailed
as they were held before her-the old
records Of love which led to her
! downfall-and she struggled to hide
her emotion. Each time she was call
/ ed uDon TO tell whose handwriting the
letters were, she faltered, saying
Senator Browns" and at length
leaned back in her chair unable 70 con-
troll herself further.
Affeetionate Letters.
Following is a sample Of the letters,
illustrating the character Of all.
Believe I love you in the truest,
best sense a man can love a woman.
not alone for the passion that is so
warm between. but in a higher and
truer way. I love to ne with you. to
| hear vou to be close to you. This
morning when I got up I kept wishing
/ could have heard you sing some
sweet song last night. that its music
might ring in my ears till I saw you
again.
Goodbye. dear wife. goodbye for a
brief period. 7 will write every mail;
my life. my hope. my all is bound up
in you and you alone. BE good to me;
love me as 1 do you.

In another OF the letters. Senator
Brown. referring to the possible marri-
age. said: I am to-day more deter
mined than ever that we shall be be-
fore the world all that we are to each
other"

to "Mrs. Dolly Madison Brown"

dred or more letters and messages was
in progress. DR.. Brush. of Baltimore,
