The last Of the testimony was submitted
to the jury just before the court adjourned
for the day. Mrs. Bradley was the last
witness. II was her third appearance on
the stand. She denied any recollection Of

Unitarian minister OF Denver. Col, and
formerly Mrs. Bradlsy's pastor in Salt Lake.
Arthur Brown is a coward At heart and
when a revolver is pointed al him hS will
aCcede and marry mo-"
When she vas telling her story originally
on the witness stand Mrs. Bradley denied
on cross-examination that abe had said
any such thing. The Rev. Mr.. Utter was
summoned by the Government and took the
stand in rebuttAl to-day. He was appar-
emily reluctant to tell OF the conversation,
but finally United States Attorney Baker
forced il ont Of him. His testimony Oon-
tradicted Mrs. Bradley natly on the point
OF her threats. but showed that ne SYM
pAthized with her. He qualified his story
of the reported conversation by saying
that after Mrs Bradley had made the threat
ne had said to her: "You cannot bluff Arthur
Brown. Suppose he calls your blum. you
wouldn't shoot him. would your"
"Of course not was her response. ac-
cording to Mr. Utter. The minister tried
TO explain to the jury that Mrs. Bradley
seemed possessed OF devil on the subject
OF Brown, hut the District Attorney OBJ
jected.
When he left the witness chair MIR. Utter
went over to where Mrs. Bradley sat. greeted
her in an affectiOnate way and showed 40
much feeling that both had tears in their
eyes MIR. Utter sat down beside Mrs.
court adjourned She seemed TO be oheered
by his presence. and before long they were
laughing and chatting. During the minute
she was on the witness stand to-day she
declared positively that she could not recall
the conversation testified to by Mr.. Utter.
Edward Beale Mclean of the Washington
Post testified that he interviewed Mrs.
Bradley on the night Of the tragedy She
appeared to be sane.
DIR. Shute. physician at the DistTic; Of
Columbia Jail. admitted having told the
attorneys for the defence that he believed
Mrs. Bradley 20 have been mentally ire
sponsble." but the Government attorneys
succeeded in having his admission ruled
out
Two prominent alienists. DR. Smith JeIIiffe
OF New York and DIR. Edward Brush OF Bal
timore, testified that they had read the
hypothetical question propounded to the
alienists called by the defence and had been
close observers OF Mrs. Bradley's conduct
in the court room during the trial. They
both pronounced her sane now and at the
time she did the shooting. DIR. Jellife ad-
mitted that she had some OF the symptoms
Of toxic insanity. but not sufficiently pro-
nounced TO justify the diagnosis Of her case
made by the alenists who testified for the
defence.
Judge o. W. Powers Of Salt Lake. chief
counsel for the defendant. was very severe
on DIR. Brush.
You were paid to come here and testify
for the Government
Il expect 20 be compensated, was the
alienist's blushing admission.
You came here for a compensation 10
aid the Government in its efforts TO convict
the defendant?"

sisted Judge Powers. You and DIR. Jel-
life have been sitting directly behind the
District. Attorney. and his assistants and
suggesting questions TO be propounded
TO Witnesses. both expert and lay?"
Il did suggest questions. WAS the reply.
And you and DIR. Jelliffe were laugh
ing and joking while the defendant was
on the stand during the most pathetic
parts Of her storyP"
Il laughed at some Of the evidence and
was affected also by some Of the pathetic
features, he replied.
Both alienists admitted that compensa-
tiOn was promised them. but they had
given an unbiased expert professional
opinion as to the sanity OF the defendant
