Washington, Nov. 23.-The defense
In the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley,
charged with the murder of Former

this city last December, strengthened
its plea of insanity by introducing ex-
pert testimony on this subject. Sew

director of the New Jersey state hos
pital for the insane, and DR.. Charles

testimony.
Toward the end of the days ses-
sion one of Mrs. Btadley's attorneys

sumed Monday.

and allowed to return to their
homes.
Defendant Looks Much Worn.
1 The trial was resumed at 1920
| o'clock. Mrs. Bradley's appearance,
which was, as usual, in advance of the
incoming Of Judge Stafford, was the
signal for the craning of necks and
caused general stir in the court
room. She looked much worn and
took her accustomed seat back of For
mer Judge Powers. She carried in
her hand large cream-white chrys-
anthemum which had been presented
to her.
She frightened up when Assistant
Attorney General Arthur R. Barnes Of
Salt Lake resumed the stand, and she
followed him closely, seeming much
affected when he related interviews
with her concerning Brown.
Mrs. Bradley came to my Office and
talked about Brown marrying her."
Barnes testified. "She told me he had
many, many times promised to marry
her, and that he had promised that
before Mrs. Brown died-to get di-
yorce and marry her. She said he
was putting the matter off and CIV
Ing her no satisfaction. She was
much disturbed about it, and asked
If might not go and talk with Brown.
: She thought / might have some in
fluence with him"
Brown Should Marry Her.

so. and Mrs. Bradley then asked what
he thought Brown ought to do. II
