OFFERS
MRS. BRADLEY
DEEP SYMPATHY

NEW YORK, May IA witness OF
the utmost importance for Mrs. Annie
Bradley. who shot and killed former
Senator Arthur Brown OF Utah. in
Washington last fail, has announced his
intention OF coming East to testify for
her at her trial.
This witness is the Rev David Utter.
pastor OF the Unity Church. Of Denver,
Col. He was a friend and co-worker OF
Mrs. Bradley. and was also intimately
acquainted with Senator Browns fam
lily. II was he who. when the infatua-
ton between Brown and Mrs. Bradley
first began. made an effort 70 induce her
TO give up the Senator and leave Utah.
Mr.. Utter is prepared 70 give II as his
opinion that Mrs. Bradley was insane
when she killed Senator Brown He ad-
vances the theory that love itself Is a
species Of insanity and should be dealt
with accordingly. In statement today
the clergyman paid high tribute 10 the
personal character and charms Of Mrs.
Bradley. He said:
Mrs. Bradley was a woman one could
well be proud to call friend. respect
her for what she was; l pity her for
what she has endured through her fool
ish infatuation for man she knew was
bad to the heart But a woman ia love
thinks not OF goodness or badness, kind
ness or cruelty, and whether the object
Of her love be a thief or a murderer,
the woman who is really infatuated
overloohs this and cares for nothing
but that she has the man Of her choice
THE sympathy Of all Mrs. Bradley
true friends is hers Their censu-e Is
slight or missing altogether.
Those who attempt 10 defame her
character IN general or TO speak slight
ingly of her do her a grlevous wrong.
She was a good, pure, high-minded
woman until this influence entered her
life. / Will gladly do anything in my
power to mitigate her sufferings or 70

tons was bid up over cents IN the
bushel Reports OF freezing tempera-
lures had something 20 do with this, but
tho urgent buying FOR future delivery IN
