the New Jersey State Hospital for the
Insane, and DR.. Charles q. Hill. OF

Although it is no, >lain1ed that at
the present time Mrs. Bradley Is in
sane, these experts will be put on the
stand to show hat for some time pre-
viously, and on the date of the tragedy.
Mrs. Bradley was mentally irrespon-
s:ble, caused by the several criminal
operations, and by the many wrongs
which Brown is alleged to have heaped
Upon her, eliminating in his change OF
heart.
Judge Powers, counsel for Mrs. Brad
ley, stated that the hypothetical ques-
ton that will be ~propounded to the
medical men has been completed. IL
embraces $4,000 words.
AS the case progresses interest in 1t
increases. Long before the doors to the
court room were opened this morning
a crowd of men and women had col
lected on the outside waiting an oppor-
tunity to zeal some of the testimony
and get a glimpse of the frail little
woman who has achieved so much
notoriety.
Mrs. Bradley arrived promptly, car
rying In her hand a large cream-white
chrysanthemum which had been pre-
sented to her. She frightened up when
Assistant Acknowledgement Arthur X.
Barnes, of Salt Lake, resumed the
stand, and she followed him closely,
seeming much affected when he related
interviews with her concerning Brown.
Mrs. Bradley came to my office n
talked about Brown marrying her,
Barnes testified. "She told me he had
many. many times promised to marry
her, and tina he had promised that
before Mrs. Brown died TO get "a d.
yorce and marry her. She said he was
putting the matter off and giving her
no satisfaction. She was much dis
turbed about it and asked If | would
go and talk with Brown. She
thought I might have some influence
with him."
Mr.. Barnes said he refused to do so,
and Mrs. Bradley then asked what he
thought Brown ought to do. Il told her
that in the circumstances Brown should
marry her and give his name to those
children" witness said. she begged of
to go and l still refused. She cried
and sobbed, and asked II Senator Brown
should send for Inc would l go. and I told
her | would do so. Very shortly after
that l was asked to go to Browns office.
The witness then repeated what he had
told Mrs. Bradley following his talk with
Brown. II told her" he said, that
when [ went into Browns office he took
me in his private room and closed the
door. He then said to me, Barnes, Mrs.
Bradley is determined that 1 shall marry
her. What shall l do? What do you
think | had better dor
Mr.. Barnes's testimony was being closely
followed. not only by the court, but by the
jury, Mrs. Bradley and counsel as well.
AS he approached the point where he was
to relate what he had said to Brown IN
answer to Browns request for advice
Mrs. Bradley leaned back in her chair
and bowed her head. She raised 1t out
once during Barnes's recital.
IT said: Now, Senator. you have asked
that question, and l am going to speak
very plainly on this subject. = declared
MIR. Barnes, continuing: I said to him:
Mrs. Bradley claims that these two
Younger boys are your children. Now l
SAID. Senator. You have never directly ad-
mitted to me tina they are your children,
and I am not going to make any accusa-
ton, but you know yourself, in your own
heart YOU know whether these are your
own children or not. II they are your
children there is but one thing you can
do as a man of h~onor-that is. to marry
Mrs. Bradley. Even If you don't live with
her but a day. or not at ALL you should
marry her and give these children a
name He said DO you think so. Barncs?'
I replied that / most certainly did. He
then ushered me out of the door
Mrs. Bradley heaved a heavy sigh when
Barnes said he never believed Brown In
tended to marry her.
II told Mrs. Bradley he said, that, In
my opinion. Senator Brown did not intend
to marry her; that he was deceiving her,
and that he never intended to marry her,
and / advised her to look at the matter
in that light and try TO make the best OF
1t. 1 advised her to leave the city and
take the children to California
Speaking of Mrs. Bradley's general con-
dition at that time, the witness said: 1T
was most pitiable. ] regarded her as a
broken woman. l wouldn't say she was in
sane. except on the one subject of Arthur
Brown. considered her insanely affec-

Judge H. P. Henderson. formerly law
partner of Senator Brown testified to sew
eral interviews with Mrs. Bradley, In one
of which he had warned her TO stay
away from his office. He also told of an
effort by both Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown to get the Senator to sign a state
ment in order that a divorce might be
procured.

l did not know all about their difficulties,
She then proceeded to tell me that she
