Defense Rests Its case-Western
Witnesses Take the Stand.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Two distin,
guished alienists testified Tuesday
that Mrs. Annie H. Bradley was in. !,
sane when she shot and killed former
Senator Arthur NJ Brown of utah.
Both of these experts have national
regulations and have figured promi.
nently in many trials that have at
tracted widespread attention. They
were Dr. Charles G. Hill of Baltimore,
professor of nervous and mental dis i
eases at the Baltimore Medical col
lege, and DR.. Britton d. Evans of New
York, a member of the board OF d. ,
rectors of the New Jersey Hospital
for the Insane. Dr. Evans was one OF !
the experts who testified in the Thaw /,
case In New York.
Both DR.. Hill and DR.. Evans were
very positive that Mrs. Bradley was
insane and could not distinguish be-
tween right and wrong. DR.. Evans
was very dramatic in his relation of
the various facts which caused him
to believe that Mrs. Bradley was in
sane. He was severe in characterizing
the conduct of Senator Brown in per-
forming criminal operations upon the
defendant, which brought admonitioH
from the court in the form of a sugges,
ton that Senator Brown was not on
trial and could not defend himself, and
his name was only to be used when
absolutely necessary to show his domi-
nation over the defendant.
Insanity Experts Give Opinions.
The trial was resumed Tuesday at
1905 o'clock. The defense at once
put on the stand new witness, DR..
I. Rich Of New York city. DR.. Rich
said he saw Mrs. Bradley the day of
the shooting and that she looked
Iooney" and had an idiotic laugh.
DR.. Charles G. Hill OF Baltimore, an
expert, was then called. DR.. Hill posi-,
lively stated that on the date of the
shooting of Senator Brown Mrs.
Bradley was insane and incapable OF
choosing between right and wrong.
On cross-examination, DIR. Hill said
that in his opinion Mrs. Bradley in
tentionally shot Senator Brown, but
her state of, mind was such that in

He said he saw in Mrs. Bradley,s
ietters to Senator Brown MANY evi.

rhetoric and handwriting were good

wrote well. '1s''
DR.. Evans testimony was dramatic.
he spoke with feeling of great SYM.
patny for Mrs Bradley and referred
contemptuously to Senator Brown for
MS lll-treatment of her. all of which
ne SAID preyed on her mind and I'm.
seated her reason. He declared that
brown, by his own hand. had do.
stroyed the children which he had no
gotten. His reference to Senator
Brown was SO pointed that Justice
oeanord admonished him that Brown
was dead and could not answer for
himself and that further that Mr.
Grown was not on trial. DR.. Evans
was not crOss-examined.
