NOTED EXPERTS AGREE
ON THEORY OF INSANITY

VII 1SN -
I further than 1t may have affected her
mind. / think your last expressions
are open to objection"
These principles continued DR..
Evans. affect the mind of a woman
who aspires to become a mother and
wife, and when such conditions exist
they are apt to upset the mental bal
arce more than any other force that
vas brought into action. 1t is a recog-
nized fact she had this disappointment,
and in addition to that she had a posi-
tive infection and loss of blood time
and time again. 1t is well recognized
that loss of blood or anemia upsets
the mind. She was subjected to the
effect of toxic agencies, and going to
the room of this man and seeing the
| letters that showed he had violated all
obligations he had made to her, her
mind could not stand the strain"
Mrs. Bradley's Intentions.
What weight do you give to the in
tentiOns she formed to shoot?"
II give this weight: The intentions
may be sane or insane. The insane per-
son may have intentions and carry
them into execution But these inten-
tions have their basis in an abnormal
brain or mind"
do you believe the insane are capa-
BILE of planning and carrying plans into
execution"
They do that: they deliberate, plan
and carry out their intentions. The
intentions are laid in an insane mind.
That does not in any sense affect the
fact that insanity existed"
DR.. Evans was not cross examined.
After he left the stand, Judge Powers
read the letters which Mrs. Bradley
tore up and which were pasted togeth-
er by the postOff1ce department.
They were filled with protestations of
love for Senator Brown, and certain
passages caused the defendant to weep.
1t was manifest that she was strug-
Cling with herself to keep from crying
aloud. Between tears and suppressed
sobs she nervously clutched her hands,
her whole frame shook and only the
high arms Of her chair kept her from
topping over. She again controlled
herself. but was the picture of abject
despair.
Mrs. Bradley Recalled.
On returning from luncheon she ap-
peared much refreshed. She was re
called to the stand and, being ques-
toned, said she ceased to live with her
husband about Dec. /, 1900. when Brad
ley left her. Up to that time she had
been a dutiful wife and gave him no
cause for desertion.
Judge Powers said:
You may state whether at the time
you testified as to having entered into
relations with Senator Brown you and
Mr.. Bradley had ceased to live as hus-
band and wife"
In a low tone she replied that they
had. She presented when questioned
a thin, careworn face, the eyelids
dropping as if nature was almost ex-
hausted. Her replies were in such low
tones that they were audible only
few feet away AS she spoke her
face lightened up slightly and about
her lips played a smile that seemed
strangely out Of place on so CHASTITY A
face.
Mr.. Wells Of the defense read more
letters of Mrs. Bradley TO Senator
Brown, which have been published.
Max Brown Again on Stand.
Max Brown, son OF the late SEN
ator, was called by the government in
rebuttal. The young man did not ap-
pear strong. He was quiet and digni-
fed, and his effort to keep his eyes
from Mrs. Bradley was apparent. Mrs.
Bradley looked at him intently.
Mr.. Brown said he first saw Mrs
Bradley IN 1896 IN ST. Louis. and saw
more Of her in 1897 and 1898 at their
home in Salt Lake City. In 1898 and
1899 he saw her frequently
who did she appear TO 90 to your
house to see?" asked the district at
torney.
My mother"
This intimacy" he said. ran in
periods. Sometimes she would be there
for three or four days, sometimes twice
a day, and again she would not come
in three or four weeks. After 1900 she
frequently brought her child, Arthur,
with her"
She continued to come to the home
of the Browns until 1901, the witness
continued.
How would your father act with
your mother I'm the presence Of Mrs
Bradley"
Every affectionate."
The disclosure Of his fathers rela-
tons with Mrs. Bradley came in 1901.
