Acknowledged Paternity of the De- ] fendant's Children.
 Washington, Nov. 22.-The defense in the Bradley murder trial played its trump card when Colonel NJ. M. Kaighn of Salt Lake City. one of Ar i thur Browns closest friends, was call ed to the witness stand. One purpose in bringing Colonel Kaighn to Wash ington was to identify the acknowl- edgment which Brown had made of Mrs. Bradley's children and which he had been shown by Mrs. Bradley in the spring of 1905 before the ink on the paper was dry. He did not see the paper again until few days after the tragedy.
 Colonel Kaighn, a bluff westerner, told how Mrs. Bradley had threatened to commit suicide unless Brown did the right thing by her and how she had made arrangements with him to take care of her papers. Colonel Kaighn said he was so impressed that he went to Brown and told him of it.
 'That night" said Colonel Kaighn q saw them on the street together arm in arm"
 The witness said Mrs. Bradley came to his office many times in 1905 and 1906 and that her manner was at all times distressing.
 Came to Him Overjoyed.
 "But one day." said Colonel Kaighn, q was sitting in my office when Mrs. Bradley burst in. She was the pic ture of happiness, with her face wreathed in smiles, and seemed unable to keep still. oh, Colonel Kaighn,' she said, T have been coming to you with such sad things, and now want to tell you good news. Arthur has acknowledged the children in writing,' and she handed me paper. She danc- ed round and round the room in her joy and finally sank into a chair from pure exhaustion"
 While Colonel Kaighn was telling this incident Mrs. Bradley's face was lighted by smile.
 Colonel Kaighn said he had been to see Brown on several occasions about Mrs. Bradley and had told him she was liable to become violently insane.
 Opposed Divorce For Her. Albert H. Barnes, assistant attorney general of Utah, testified to having been consulted by Mrs. Bradley about ! obtaining a divorce from her husband after Mrs. Brown had died in 1905. He said Mrs. Bradley told him that Brown wanted her to get the divorce. Subse- : uuently he saw Brown, and Brown told him not to- Mrs. Bradley afterward told him that Brown had informed her that the complaint Barnes had drawn up was not in proper form and that if a decree were granted it would not be valid.
 MT. Barnes was on the stand when court adjourned and will be called again.
 District Attorney Baker concluded lis cross examination of Mrs. Bradley. The woman had been told to prepare for a merciless fire of questions, and [ she was alert to every move of the dis trict attorney. 1t was war of wits. one keen mind against another. At that rarely has the public prosecutor [ been so considerate to a prisoner. There was no browbeating and no at : tempt to insinuate that she was not at all times telling the truth. Pistol Not For Mrs. Brown. | Mrs. Bradley was questioned about conference held at Pocatello by her self, Mir. Brown, Mrs. Brown and a Mir Christensen.
 i Then the next day the senator gave you a pistol. Why did you take that pistolT'
 "Oh, the senator said that Mrs. Brown was a very vicious woman and would stop at nothing and that might need it to defend myself. Besides, he said that on account of the notoriety concerning our relations I might be accosted on the street some time by men and that might need 1t on such occasions"
 Did you carry it for Mrs. Brown?"
 "No. I did not fear Mrs. Brown" snapped the witness.
 Mrs. Bradley denied that at the con- ference the senator had accused her of being indiscreet with other men or that she had admitted such. Were no mems names mentioned during the cOnyersatiOnT
 ''Oh. there might have been. Mems names were mentioned perhaps thou sand times by Senator Brown. he was so insanely jealous all the time" } Knocked Browns Teeth Out. } "were not the names of Schroeder, } Evans and McQuire mentiOnedT' He has mentioned those names to me often"
 "Do you remember the time you struck Senator Brown with an umbrel- Ia during a quarrel and knocked out , some of his teeth!" asked the district , attorney.
 , ~Yes. The senator was in one of his , mad spells. He abused me awfuIly snd said the most awful things. Final, ly raised by umbrella. struck at him and hit him 0n the mouth. His teeth were nothing but shells. and the slight est lick would break them off, Mrs. Bradley remarked.
