 ''I acknowledge Arthur Brown and Mar tin Montgomery as my children by Annie NJ. Bradley"
 Such was Mir Browns own method ot expressing himself on the subject, and the legend was inscribed on soiled and plotted piece of writing paper IL was dated February 10, 1905. and was brought 10 light by Col. Maurice NJ. kaighn an attorney of Salt Lake. the present re- ceiver in the United States land office in that city and q friend of Senator Brown of 30 years standing.
 Colonel Kaighn was on the witness stand for about one hour during the after noon session of the trial and testified that Mrs. Bradley brought the slip of paper 10 his office just after she received it from Mir Brown with the ink not yet dry; how she fairly danced into his room and how she beamed with joy as she held the paper aoft and told him that now all would be we'll. Colonel Kaig'hn related many in teresting facts concerning his association with both Senator Brown and Mrs. Brad ley, and upon the whole made by far the best witness for the little woman that has yet taken the stand, herself excepted. He told in simple but foreible language i of many dramatic interviews with Mrs. 1 Bradley. and closed with the expression 1 of opinion that she had become a mono- maniac on the subject of her relationship to the ex-Senator. He said he believed her mind to have been unbalanced. l q hate to do it." lie said, after he left l the stand, flor Senator Brown was one | of my most intimate friends but one can not trihe with ones conscience" 1 Other testimony in Mrs. Bradley's be- l half was given by Major Samuel Hiking, who related many incidents going to show that Mrs. Bradley was In a very nervous condition for some time before coming to l Washington More placid, more capable ] of asserting control over herself and more resourceful. apparently than when she | took the witness stand on Tuesday, Mrs. l Bradley left it at noon today after mo- 1 nopoizing the attention of the court for two days and half. She was more com l posed than at any time. and her counsel | expressed confidence that she would have been able to go on longer if called on to l do so. She was especially pleased when l Colonel kaighn told the story of her presentation to him of Senator Browns s l acknowledgment of his children. and she would today have almost justified his characterization of her manner at the time of the original happening. The courtroom was crowded and 1t was neces- sary to keep all the windows open in or der to satisfy Judge Stafords demand for fresh air Many of the spectators

 ndisposition on her part. She did not l look as buoyant as when she appeared yesterday, but seemed quite composed and was evidently prepared to proceed witt the ordeal through which she has beer passing for the past two days. She i'm mediately took the stand and District At. torney Baker began his questioning by bringing out the facts concerning MaS Browns stay at the Idaho farm ip 1902 She said she did not leave tie farm because of Max's presence tbere. 1 Mir.
