after the shooting and others who at.
tended her while In Jail here testified

doubt as to her sanity and declared
their belief that her conduct was
rational and that her language was
coherent. Several witnesses won talked

the shooting have evidence similar to
offer. The dramatic feature Of the day
was the description by Sorn Christcn-.

OF 1906. On that occasion Mrs. Brown
discovered Mrs. Bradley In the hotel

and attempted to choke her and asked
to be allowed to kill her. The cries Of
Mrs. Bradley brought the Senator to the
rescue and then the whole party. in
cluding the witness had an all night
discussion OF the difficulty, during which
Brown. turning fiercely upon his wife.
denied he was the father of her son,
Max, and at the same time admitted he
was the father OF Mrs Bradley's two
children. An outbnrst OF denunciation
by Mrs. Brown. of her husband and Mrs.
Bradley. followed, after which the Sena-
tor and the defendant went into another

OAKLAND, Cal. Nov. 27.--As the
police probe deeper into the supposed
murder Of his pscudo.wife. whose iden.
tity Ia still a mystery. by NJ A. wilkins.
In their little cottage in Elmhurst. tho
grcwsome tragedy develops features that
not even llaborcau could have dreamed
Of. Every element surrounding the a.
that has Few parallels In the crimi-
ness that ha STEW parallels In the crim'.
nal annals Of California.
Despite the persistent sweating Of the
prisoner. but one statement bearing on
the death Of the woman has been wrung
from him. aud that il that she took her
own life By swallowing strychnine.
He does not offer to explain how or
why a towel was tied around the won.
ans mouth or why her cospse was
buried In quicklime, neither does the
man whom the police look upon as an
arch ilcnd explain why he started to dig
the hole which later became the woman's
grave, before she died.
In the performance Of this task the
authorities say that Wilkins displayed
unprecedented cold bloodedness. That
he should have plotted the woman's
death and prepared for tho covering up
OF his crime a. he did was fendish
enough, but to compel his prospective
victim to assist in digging her own grave
Is considered almost beyond belief.
The motive for the murder, II murlcr
was done, Ii another battling feature
wilkins could not have gained financial
iy by the woman's death, as he was
worse of by her demise than II she
were alive. as Is shown by his attempt
to have Mrs. |. M. Anderson, a neighbor
pose as his wife before q notary public
for the purpose OF having a power oi
attorney recorded In order that he might
sell the cottage in which he and the dca,
woman lived.
One plausible theory Is that he was
tired OF the woman and decided to get
rid of her before he would be called
upon to assume an added burden IL
the support OF the child that woult
have come in October had the woman
lived
