 Washington, Nov. 2S. - Sensational testimony offered by one of the star witnesses for the prosecution in the Bradley murder trial was turned to remarkably good account by the de- fense. The witness, Loren Christian son, for many months the constant at tendant of Arthur Brown, the victim of the tragedy, described an encounter between Mrs. Bradley and Browns wife in which Mrs. Brown attempted to choke Mrs. Bradley. enjoining Christianson not to interfere, so that q may kill her.
 Mrs. Bradley's four-year-old son, Martin Montgomery Brown, is suffer ing from an attack of membranous croup in the boarding house where Mrs. Madison. Mrs. Bradley's mother, is staying with the two children. and it was said that he is not expected to live.
 Justice Stafford rebuked a man and a woman who had brought into the courtroom with them girl about elev- en years of age. When the justice saw the child he stopped the proceedings and ordered an attendant to escort the couple and child from the courtroom.
 Unused Ticket In Evidence.
 In reciting the incidents of a visit to Pocatello, Ida, with Brown, Christian son said that Mrs. Brown had twice assaulted Mrs. Bradley and that after one of these assaults there had been an all night conference between the Browns, Mrs. Bradley and himself, ill which Senator Brown admitted that he was the father of two of Mrs. Brad ley's children, but denied the paternity of Max Brown. who was witness yesterday. On this occasion. Christian son said, Mrs. Brown called her hus- band "a low, vile, moral degenerate
 Another witness was Asa B. Mosely, the ticket agent at Ogden, where Mrs. Bradley exchanged tickets and bought one for Washington last December in stead of continuing her journey to Cal ifornia. The ticket, which was placed in evidence. showed that Mrs. Bradley had not used it at all, but had paid her fare on the train from Salt Lake City to Ogden. The government will claim that this showed that she did not in tend to go to California at all.
 Another material point gained by the prosecution was the admission of the statement made by Mrs. Bradley just after the tragedy to Detective Bur lingame. The defense has contended all along that this statement was fore ed from Mrs. Bradley before she had been given an opportunity to consult counsel and sought to have 1t excluded.
 "I Am Far From Crazy"
 Burlingame testified that Mrs. Brad ley said to him less than an hour after the tragedy that she had shot Brown because he had refused to do the right thing" and give his name to their children.
 Burlingame further testified that she told him that she had felt for several years as though the whole thing would end in something like this" He said Mrs. Bradley was pale and excited. but he observed nothing that would indicate insanity.
 Mrs. Marilla Thornberg. matron of the police station where Mrs. Bradley was taken after the shooting. was re- called to tell of various conversations she had with Mrs. Bradley that night
 After she told me she had shot Senator Brown" said Mrs. Thornberg, 'I said to her: How could you get up nerve enough to shoot a man? You must have been crazy She replied: Indeed not am far from being crazy"
 Told Mrs. Bradley Lies.
 Livingston on cross examination by Mir. Hoover of the defense was con fronted by many of the statements which it was alleged he had made to Mrs Bradley. and finally he said. with some irritation. You know. Mir. Hoov- CT. I told Mrs. Bradley many an un- truth so that she and I could get along l together"
 And you admit. then. that you told Mrs. Bradley many falsehoods?"
 "Yes, and she knows it." the witness l replied. "I did it to protect Mir. i Brown"
 It is understood the prosecution will conclude it's evidence tomorrow. Mon-
