STAND TELLS LIFE
STORY
Woman Who Killed Brown
Speaks for Herself
FATHER OF HER 2 CHILDREN
Was Arrested on the Charge OF Adult
tery--Mam Refused to Make
Settlement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Mrs. An
ME NJ. Bradley, on trial for the killing
of former Senator Brown Of Utah, took
the witness stand in her own behalf,
and her assumption Of that position
marked the climax of the already ia
nous case. The fact that her story
was to be heard under oath had be-
come generally known. and the court
room, of limited capacity at best. was
crowded long before the incoming of
the court.
Judge Powers was permitted to de-
velop the fact that Mrs. Bradley had
taken an active part in the affairs of
the Republican party Of Utah, where
women vote, and that she had been
secretary of the state committee.
"Were your relations with your hus'
band happy or unhappy she was
asked
Unhappy" was the reply, spoken In
a low tone. She was divorced from
Mr.. Bradley, she said, in 1903.
The witness then told of being intro
duced to Senator Brown by her uncle
and Of afterward coming to know him

Brattleboro, Nov. 1S.-One of the
final acts of Judge Seneca Haselton be
fore adjourning the Windham county
court at Newfane Saturday was to adj
minister sharp reprimand to Fred
Bagley of Somerset who was drawn
as juryman but who failed to ans.
wer the summons.
Early In the term the court noted
the absence of Bagley and said that
his case would receive attention later.
subsequently the court had Bagley' s
name read, and, as he did not respond
Sheriff Arthur II. Thompson OF Bel.
lows Falls was directed to send for
him, which the sheriff did by letter.
No attention was paid to the letter. so
Judge Haselton directed the sheriff
to send an officer after the delinquent
Juror Deputy Sheriff C. +. Mann of
Dover drove to Somerset Saturday and
found Bagley. The latter vowed that
he was not under any obligation to go
and had no intention of going, where.
upon Deputy Sheriff Mann arrested
him on bench warrant and took him
to Newfane.
Bagley appeared 10 have no com.
prehension of the situation and no re.
alization of his obligations. He said
he did not receive the first notice sent
him until three weeks after it was
sent and thought court probably had
adjourned by that time. He said that
upon receipt of the second notice his
neighbors told him he could do as he
pleased about going.
The court rebuked him and made
him pay the costs.

and her doctor had said she could not
expect to be well. She had felt that 1t
was very wrong, but. oh, il is so hard
TO tell ones feelings

BRUTAL MURDER
Most Shocking Crime in the History
of North Adams.

Patrick O'Brien has been given a
hearing in North Adams on the charge
OF manslaughter, the charge being pre-.
ferred because of the death of his wife
after she had suffered from the most
brutal treatment. There has never
been case in the history of that city
where such brutality was shown q wo-
man as was shown Mrs. O'Brien, who
died at the hospital Saturday from
wounds that covered her from head
to foot The woman was able to cali
Drink OF water. Drink OF wateri"
when the police found her, and 1t was
evident that she had lain on the cold
floor of her kitchen nude, covered with
her blood, for hours. pleading for this
drink OF water, with no one to hear
her and her husband and father-in-
law upstairs in bed, apparently in a
drunken stupor.
How the woman came by the blows
that caused her death has not yet been
disclosed. The police have her ante
norton statement, but what 1t con-
tains Is not given out Neither Is what
the medical examiner found made pub
lie. The case has aroused much in
dignation. The apparent excessive
cruelty to wife that it implies is
something that has staggered the peo-
pie. The conditions discovered at the
OBrien house and the treatment of
the woman have not been paralleled
in that city since the Reed murders.
The mystery in the case is how mat
tiers could have been going on as has
been disclosed without some intima-
ton of the facts reaching the police.
The hearing will be continued.
