which the government had used extracts
in the cross examination. and nearly an
hour was thus consumed. Most OF the
letters of any significance are reviewed
at length elsewhere in The Star today.
Whip Was Plaything.
Judge Powers also questioned Mrsi
Bradley about the cat O. nine tails which
was introduced in the case by the gov
eminent as having been found in Mrs.
Bradley's trunk. The defendant said the
whip was given to her by Senator Brown
one day as a plaything for the children.
She tossed 1t into her trunk then and did
not even know it had remained to be
brought along on her trip to Washington.
She had no intention of using it on
any one.
On re-cross-examination United States
District Attorney Baker asked Mrs. Brad
ley If she had not brought several of her
own letters to Brown along, and secur-
ing an aff1rmativs-seply. he said:
Are not those the letters which you
tore up In your room at the Raleigh Ho-
Il presume so." Mrs. Bradley said, and
her examina ton was ended.
Court then adjourned for the midday
recess.
: Session This Afternoon.
When court reconvened after recess the
defense recalled DR.. E. W. Whitney and
asked who accompanied Mrs. Bradley at
the visit to his Office in February Dr.
Whitney said Mr.. Brown came with her
in the afternoon. He was asked as to the
statements made by Senator Brown to
him about the desired treatment Of her.
United States Attorney Baker objected,
claiming that the conversation was ir-
relevant. Counsel were called to the
bench to explain to the court what the
defense expected to show by the details
of the conversation.
Z, The proffer was made to prove that
statements were made by Senator Brown
to DR.. Whitney, in order to corroborate
Mrs. Bradley's evidence concerning that
visit. 1t was allowed to be entered on
the record to give the defense the benefit
of an exception, to the ruling excluding 1t
from the jury. The record was not read
to the jury. but the testimony proposed
tended to show the character Of the re-
lations that subsisted between Mrs. Brad
ley and the deceased.
The defense hoped by this witness to
show that Senator Brown on that occa-
sion had made statements tending to in
dictate that he had performed criminal
operation on Mrs. Bradley. !
DR.. Whitney was excused from the
stand. and also given permission to return
to Utah.
Lyman Shrewsbury was then called,
but failed to respond. Judge Powers ex
was in the courthouse and would be
called later.
Did Not Want Money.
Samuel A King lawyer of Salt Lake,
was the next witness. He was intimately
acquainted with Senator Brown for a
number of years, he testified. He met Mrs.
Bradley in 1898, but knew her more init
mately since 1900. but never saw her
during 1906. Mr.. King was asked as to
the reputation of Mrs. Bradley in Utah
for peace and good order, exclusive of
her relations with Senator Brown. Mr.
Baker objected to the form of the ques-
ton. and Mr.. Hoover for the defense put
the general question of reputation Mr.
King answered that her reputation from
1898 to December, 1906, was good.
Witness said he went to see Mrs, Brad
ley at the request of Senator Brown
some time between September. 1902, and
March. 1904; but could not definitely state
the time. Before answering what Sena-
tor Brown said to him Mr.. King asked
the court to determine whether such
communication was not privileged, the
witness having been counsel for Sena-
tor Brown and had received certain
statements in that confidential relation.
The witness then declared he visited
Mrs. Bradley and told her the relations
between her and Mr. Brown must cease
and offered pecuniary settlement.
To that Mrs. Bradley responded, the
witness SAID. that she did not desire SEN
ator Browns money, but she wanted him
to fulfill his obligation to the children
by giving them his name; beyond that she
Desired nothing.
TEis concluded the testimony of Mr..
King. and MIR. Baker announced he de-
sired to ask no questions in cross-exam-
nation.
Impressed by Earnestness.
Col. NJ. NJ Kaighn was next recalled nv
the defense and testified he had known
Isabelle Cameron Brown. the two families
visiting. He also knew Mrs. Bradley since
1892. and had been on terms of friendship
with her. He had frequently met all three
of these persons. and when asked to de-
scribe how the appearance of the defend
ant physically in 1898 compared with her
present condition. he declared that at that
strong. not robust. but fieshy.
Her mind he said. was exceptionally
and phenomenally bright. Witness had
also met Mrs. Bradley at several func-
lions. but had never visited her or she his
family. He became aware Of the rela-
tions between Senator Brown and Mrs.
Bradley in the fall of 1902. and appeared
at a preliminary hearing for Mr.. Brown
on the charge of adultery. About that
time. at the request of Senator Brown.
he saw Mrs. Bradley at his law office
in Salt Lake City. She said to him: "Col.
Kaighn. you have known me for several
years, and I had hoped you knew me
better than to think 1 would accept a
money settlement"
When asked by Judge Powers to de-
scribe Mrs. Bradley's manner, Col. Kaighn
said the thing that impressed him most
was her nervousness and her evident in
teSe earneStneSs.
Was Violently Excited
Speaking of another visit by Mrs. Brad
ley to his Office. the witness said she
rushed Into his office one day in 1905 and
dropped into a chair and rocked violently,
seeming out of breath and violently ex-
cited.
II said: What is the matter, little wom-
an? Calm yourself. Tell me what Is
wrong
oh! 1t is the senator again! the SEN
ator! she replied Continuing, she de-
clared Brown had been abusing her hor-
ribly; that he had already performed
three operations on her. and he was very
angry because she would not consent to a
fourth" =
