Identifies Many Letters.
When Mrs. Bradley resumed the witness
stand this morning Attorney Powers
stated his desire to have long list of
letters identified by her. In order of their
dates the defendant stated the letters
about one hundred in number-were writ
ten by Senator Brown and had been re-
ceived by her through the mails in regu-
lar course. Many of them, covering peri
Cd in 1901. were written by Brown from
Nepi, Utah; others from Grand Junction,
Col, and others from points all over the
west. The letters will be read as part
of the evidence later in the trial. Ex-
tracts from a few illustrate the tenor of
many of the missives. Two are as fol-
