Grundy Center, Nov. IL. - Truman
PatEee. II man about u yatrs sss ase
and resident of Morrison Iowa, who
had some doubts about his recovery
from an operation to which he was
about to submit, conceived the idea
of having his funeral services held
before the operation. He declared that
If he did not get through all right
they wouldn't have to hold services
and he could hear what they had to
say about him. He accordingly had the
hour for service set for II o'clock q.
M. on Tuesday and one Of the minis
ters located In Morrison held the SER
vices.
Mr. Pattee was in bed ready for the
operation after the services were over.
At the close Of the services he called
the doctors and told them that he was
ready.
It is reported that the operation
was successful and that Mr.. Pattee is
doing nicely Should he recover he
will enjoy the distinction of having
listened to his own funeral sermon.

THE DEFENSE CLAIMS
BROWN CURSED WOMAN
COUNSEL FOR MRS. BRADLEY AS.
sERTs THAT SENATOR WAS
NOT SHOT UNTIL HE HAD RUSH.
ED AT WOMAN HE WRoNGED.

Washington, Nov, 15.-When the
trial of Mrs. Bradley was resumed
today 1t was apparent that the prose-
mony and that the attorneys for the
defense are prepared to present their
side as speedily as possible. The dis.
trict attorney succeeded in bringing
out the facts concerning the details Of
confession said to have been made
at the police station by Mrs. Bradley,
Immediately after her arrest.
Mrs. Bradley preceded both Judge
Stafford and the jury in the court
room. The first witness of the day
was Mrs. Marilla Thronberg, the ma.
tron at the police station where Mrs.
Bradley was taken after the tragedy.
She told of visit by United States
Senator Sutherland, and had with the
prisoner also Of visit by Detective
Grant Of the local police She heard
the detective telling Mrs. Bradley that
anything sne might say would be used
against her, but Mrs. Bradley talked
freely. Lieutenant Grant partly cor
roborated Mrs. Thronberg's testimony.
Deed Was Premeditated.
Grant testified as follows: s
MRS. Bradley told me she was a
companion OF Browns; lived with
him for long time and had children
by him. She said she had not acted
on impulse. but thought over the deed
a long time and made up her mind
that If Brown did not do right she
would kill him"
The government concluded it's pre-
sentation at 1910 Max Brown, son
Of the man killed, was the last wit
ness. His testimony was not material.
Brown Attacked Mrs. Bradley.
At the afternoon session Attorney
Hoover made the opening statement
for Mrs. Bradley and the court ad-
journed until Monday. Hoover claim
ed that Mrs. Bradley become irres-
ponsible b yreason Of Browns treat
ment of ner and said it would be
proven that she did not shot him until
he had rushed on and cursed her.

INvEsnaATloN OF HARNEY's Az
FAIRS SHOWS He LEFT AN Es-
TATE OF AT LEAST s2,5oo,ooo -
FRIENDS LOSSES oRIEvED HIM

New York, Nov. 15. That Charles
r. Barney. the fnancier and society
man who killed himself yesterday
was by no means ruined financially,
appears to be proved by statements
as to his business affairs, which were
made public following his tragic
death. The cause Of the seifdestruc-
tion, therefore, Is believed to have
been something deeper than money
loss which came in the financial crash
in which Barney and SO many others
were involved.
Financial Affairs Good.
Friends and business associates OF
the dead banker, who have been
working for weeks attempting to set
tie his business affairs said that even
at the present low level Of prices the
securities and titles to property held
by Barney will exceed his obligations
by $2,5Oo,Ooo.
Grieved Over Friends Losses.
It is largely to his inability to en-
dure the blot upon his business repu-
tation, which he feared would result
from the suspension Of the Knicker-
booker Trust company and grief over
the knowledge that many of his
friends were carried to ruin In the
collapse of his enterprise, that friends
attribute his act.

FLURRY SOON OVER.

Chicago, Nov. 15. - Elbridge n.
Gary chStrnaa1 of the board of difee-
tors Of the United States pteel corpo-
ration. and one of Americas chief
captains Of industry, thinks there Is
too much discussion" of the financial
condition of the country.
All this talk about the so-called
tight money market makes people
lean involuntarily to the idea that
there really is something the matter
with the nation, when as matter Of
fact everything is in f,rst class
shape" he said last night at the Audi.
torium annex.
"If thought there was anything the
matter with the country's finances I
would not hesitate to give my views
at length. But what is the sense of
making a great fuss over the So
called financial furry?
"In little while all the disturbance
will be over and then the persons who
have been doing lot of talking about
the temporary financial upset, will
feel silly, think.
1T is not a time for talking. It is
a time for the strengthening Of the
general confidence In the unquestion-
able financial soundness and abound
ing material prosperity Of the nation" !"
Asked whether he shared his mas
ter's confidence in American money,
Mr.. Gary's Jananese valet said:
"Yes sir, wish had few tons Of
American gold coin, or better still, OF
American paper currency"
"How about Chicago clearing house
checks?'
Would like tons Of them, too,' he
answered with bland smile.
