1928 today. She was on the stano

entered upon the recital, she mani
tested much relief when she was ex-

by former Senator Brown to Mrs.
Bradley and those written by Mrs.
Bradley to Brown, will form an i'm
portant part Of the testimony in the

there were two sides to the relationship
between the ex-senator and Mrs. Brad

Brown didn't marry you voluntarily.

said this because Max looked so un-
like him. Mrs. Bradley told of Browns

telling her to use it for protection
against Mrs. Brown. The questions
then dealt with the subject of Browns
jealousy of her. Several names were
mentioned, including one who was
designated as "The Priest" She re-
peated the names in a letter to the
senator, to which she added:

nectar for each other"
