Washington. Nov. 27.-Throughout
the day the testimony offered in the
trial of Mrs. Annie NJ Bradley,
charged with having shot and killed
former Senator Brown, of Utah, in
this city last December, was most
damaging to the defendant.
There We're many witnesses who
had seen her shortly after the shoot
ing and others who had attended her
while she was In jail here. but none
of them had at any time doubted her
sanity. These witnesses had been
called by the government in rebuttal.
They included practically. every one
who had come in contact with Mrs.
Bradley after the shooting Of Senator
Brown. Attendants at the hotel where
the shooting occurred. officials at the
police station and at the house of de-
tention in which she was first con-
fined, newspaper men, doctors and at
tendants at the Jail declared their be-
lief that she was rational in manner
and coherent in language. when they
saw and talked with her Several
other witnesses who had talked to
her in salt Lake and elsewhere prior
to the shooting gave evidence to the
same effect
A dramatic feature of the day was
the declaration by Soren S. Christen-
SEN of salt Lake City, of an encoun-
ter between Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown at a hotel in Pocatello, Idaho,
in the summer Of 1906. on that oc-
casion Mrs. Brown discovered Mrs.
Bradley in the hotel with Senator
Brown. and. attacking her. attempt
ed to choke her, and asked TO be al
lowed to kill her. Cries of Mrs Brad
ley brought the senator to the rescue
and then the entire party, including
the witness, had an all night discus
sion of the difficulty. during which
Brown, turning fiercely upon his wife.
denied that he was the father of her
san. Max Brown. and at the same time
admitted that he was the father of
two of Mrs. Bradley's children.
An outburst of denunciation by Mrs
Brown Of her husband and Mrs Brad
ley followed, after which the senator
and the defendant went to another
hotel. where they called for drinks. A
new phase of the testimony was the
admission by Archibald Livingston
the senator's stenographer. that he
had often told falsehoods to Mrs
Bradley in order to quiet her, and 20
avoid trouble for either the senator
Or himself.
Justice Stafford rebuked couple
OF spectators, man ana woman,
who brought with them a girl about
eleven years of age. When the JUS
tice saw the child he stopped the pro-
ceedings and ordered an attendant to
escort the couple and child from the
court room.
The testimony today. as at many
times since the trial began, included
many illusions unfit for the ears of
4 child.
1t was expected that all the testi-
mony would be in today, but at the
last moment the district attorney sub
poenaed three additional witnesses In
rebuttal. Another witness is now on
the way here from Utah to testify for
he government. II Is now almost
certainty that the testimony will be
concluded on Friday. The court ad-
iourned today at the close Of the ses-
sion.
