talk 10 the Senator about the matter
and she begged and pleaded a long
time. Finally she asked me II I would
go II the Senator asked me 10 come TO
see him. I told her that I would. After
that the Senator sent for me and we
talked on the subject" Mr. Barnes was
not allowed to relate the conversation
with Brown, except in so far as he re-
ported it 10 Mrs. Bradley. He was allowed
TO tell what he had returned and told
Mrs, Bradley Of the conversation, but
not TO repeat the conversation itself.
I repeated the substance OF my con-
NeFsaJIOn with the Senator 10 Mrs.
Bradley; told her that the Senator had
asked me what 7 thought about the
matter, and that / had said. Senator,
] am going TO speak TO you frankly,
Mrs. Bradley says her two children are
yours; l have never heard you admit
It. and am not going to commit myself
on this point, but you, yourself know
in your own heart whether these chill
dren are yours. If they are yours.
there is only one thing you can do or
should do, and that is to marry Mrs.
Bradley and give them a name, even II
spoke frankly to the Senator, and when
1 had finished he said; DO YOU think
so, Barnes, and ushered me out OF
the office
She Became Greatly Excited.
ct also told Mrs. Bradley that ala
not believe that Brown intended 20
marry her or had ever intended to. and
advised her to go away. At this SIZE
became very much agitated and per
Jurbed"
After this the witness said that Mrs.
Bradley had gone to Ogden. and that
later she telephoned him and informed
I'm of the birth of a child which only
lived three days. He told Of other con-
NeTsatOns. all about the same subject,
and was then asked by Judge Powers:
Q.-Durlng this time and during the
tendency OF the criminal proceedings
form any opinion as TO her mental con-
ditiOn?'
A--Wen, + never thought Mrs. Brad
ley an insane woman during these con-
NeESauons, except on the one subject |
I do think that she was insane on the
SUBJECT OF Arthur Brown and absolutely
under his control
She Would Act Queerly.
On the cross-examinat{on he said thar
during many of these conversations
Mrs. Bradley had acted queerIv. that
she would become agitated and talk
most seriously for awhile, and then a
moment later would laugh OF perhaps
quote bits of poetry not at ali applicable
10 the subject matter. lie said the
witness vas incoherenU in speech ana
unable 10 listen TO reason when il came
TO the subject OF Arthur Brown, and
that he found il impossible TO convince
her that arthur Brown was not all
right ind that he would nnally marry
her. He said he considered that she had
an insane love for him.
Ply Mr.. Baker;
