WeepS Bitterly as DR..
Evans Helps Her
Defense.
Surprise Sprung on
Prosecution by New
Witness.

For the first time since she took
the stand herself to tell her awful
story, Mrs. Annie M. Bradley TODAY
gave way completely and wept as a
letter written by her last July to
Brown was read to the court by
Judge Powers. Mrs. Bradley had sat
throughout the long, tedious exanli-
nation of DR.. Charles G. Hill, of
Mount Hope Insane Asylum, Balti-
more with her eyes closed and
hands claSped listleSly on her lap.
She rarely raised her eyes except to
glance at Judge Stafford when a
clash occurred between counsel.
When DR.. Britton d. Evans, of the
New Jersey State Asylum, at Morris
Plains. n. J., and one of the wit
nesses in the Thaw trial was called
to the stand Mrs. Bradley was
roused from her lethargy. She had
heard long dissertations Oh teehni-
cal points e-ncerning various phases
of INSANITY, but here was a man
who delved 20 the genuinely hu-
man side of the case and dragged
out the skeletons Of her past with
as loving and tender hand ns she
might have done herself.
Explains Mental Destruction.
He described the principles of
motherhood and told how, when
they are outraged, the mental poise
may be more quickly destroyed
than by any other force that might
be brought against it; he told of
how Brown had held her up first
to the prospect of life long happi-
ness with him, and then plunged
ner into the depths of despair by
putting her aside while all the time
she had within her the instincts.
love, and principles OF motherhood.
because of her infinite faith and
love for him.
As he told of how these disap-
poiutments came to her Mrs. Brad
ley put her hand to her face, and
then as DR.. Evans gentl5-, methodi-
cally, and with studied continuity
led up to the grim tragedy of last
December tears streamed down Mrs.
Bradley's face, and she gave way
completely.
Following this Judge Powers read
two recent lover letters that she
had written Brown--the summer
before she killed him-and the in
innate references in these letters to
their home life and its innumerable
little ties proved too much for the
defendant. When the noon recess
was taken Mrs. Bradley was nearer
collapse than she has been for many
days.
Defense Springs Surprise.
The defense at the opening of the
morning session sprung a surprise
when , it put on the stand DR..
Isaac Rich, Of New York. who
was a guest at the Raleigh Hotel
at the time Of the shooting and who
saw Mrs. Bradley several times during
the day. No intimatiOn had been given
that the experts for the defense were
not the last witnesses Mrs. Bradley's
lawyers would call, and the name Of DR..
Rich was received with an unusual
amount OF interest.

CHARGE IS UNTRUE.

The Hartford Herald of this week
seeks TO create the impression among
its readers that The Republicans OF
Hartford have been guilty of a breach
of faith in not carrying out an agree
ment to decorate their business hous-
es for the Democratic speaking last
Saturday. 1t seeks to throw the
odium of this alleged failure upon the
senior editor of this paper. Now
the senior editor of this paper was
mot in Hartford last Saturday, and
therefore could not be personally re-
sponsible for any failure to decorate
for that occasion. However, the other
editor had our bunting and decorar
tions all ready to be in place but was
prevented by the rain, which con-
tinued up until the time of speaking
and no one on the street, pot even
ne Democrats decorated, because OF
the inclement weather. Besides, no
one made any request of us TO deco
rate as was contemplated would be
done whenever speaker of promi-
nence came to town. Under the Cir
cumstances the Herald displays a
small contemplate spirit in making
an accusation of broken faith against
us. While we were not here at the
time, we understand that owing TO the
weather as above stated, no attempt
was made at a general decoration OF
the town. Bring around your candi-
date for Governor or your candidate
for United States Senator, and see
if we fail 10 carry out our agreement
whether as 10 business houses, OF

The agreement, which has been en-
tered into between the Democratic and
Republican managers, for Ohio county
has our hearty approval. Let it be en-
forced to the letter. The voter who
has not patriotism and manhood enough
to go TO the polls and vote his SEN
timents, without being paid for so
doing, is not fit to be entrusted with
the ballot. The man who corrupts
an election should be punished. The
use of money in elections at all, except
for few legitimate purposes. should
be stopped not only in Ohio county,
but in every other county of Ken
lucky and every other State in the
Union. Under this arrangement Ohio
county will give large majority for
the Republican ticket. In the past,
when no money has been used the
county has always at least for many
years given good majority in stale
elections. .!H-,i .T..:.f '.' .a ..

The Hartford Herald says that Mr.
Wilson states that he never scratch
ed a Republican ticket in voting.
This statement is untrue and we
scarcely see how the Herald can help
from knowing that it is untrue. Ii
will be remembered by almost every
one that Mr.. Wilson supported the
entire Democratic City ticket in Lou
isville, in 1897. This has often been
used against Mr.. Wilson among Re-
publicans. Is it possible that the
Hartford Herald is able TO do JUS
tice to no one?

ASTO THE CITY ELECTION.

A COUllluutOT W INC COiuiiiilo VI biO
Hartford Herald, signing himself a
Citizen" in a lengthy article this
week attempts to show that town
like Hartford should be governed
srric ly through politics. This citizen,
a lawyer by profession,and manifesting
such an interest in the success of one
ticket as 10 lead some persons to think
that he may have more that the inter
est of the mere citizen al stake, uses
a short editorial which was printed in
this paper last week in which we took
the position that voters in determin-
ing their choice for councilmen for
Hartford, should not be governed by
politics. This gentleman came TO the
Republican office and pretended 10 seek
information about one subject, in or
der to see our files, but used his op-
portunity TO discover whether or not
two years ago we printed a call for
a Republican Convention 10 nominate
candidates for city offices. This in
formation would have been given him
readily without his practicing duplici-
ty 10 gain his point. However, we
merely mention this 10 show our read
ers what kind of a man presumes 10
advise them in this matter. Two years
ago the Democrats nominated the first
city ticket which had ever been put
up in our town in that way. and al
though we thought at that time it was
wrong, many Republicans took the po-
sition that since the city election
had been made political one, there was
had been made a political one, there W
nothing left for them to do, except
place a ticket in the field. The fact
that this paper published a call does
not make our position now or at that
time inconsistent in the least.
We know of no particular political
advantage TO be gained by having the
town of Hartford governed by either
party. The man who served on the
board of Councilmen does SO at a
great sacrifice, and his actions are al
ways criticised no matter what course
he persues. The man who serves in
that capacity does so, or at least
should do so with the sole purpose
of aiding in the improvement and
building up his town, freeing it from
unclean conditions which produce dis
ease and death 10 the families of the
Democrats and Republicans alike, at
the very smallest tax rate TO our cit
zens. Next to our families is the town
for after all, towns the size of Hart
ford are merely large families.
1t is true that one of the editors
OF this paper has been placed upon
the Citizens ticket by petition, but
the writer of the long article in the
Hartford Herald may rest assured that
Il was not sought, and that 1t will
be no great calamity to him II he
should fail Of election. Had we though
any great political principle,involved,

seems to have worked, himself into
