San Francisco and the Rev. David
Utter of Denver
Mrs. Bradley is said to have re-
covered from the effect of her recent
illness and has taken a deep inter
est in the preparations for her trial.
She has declared that she wants no
curly-haired men on the jury, and it
is curious coincident that the Judge
who Will preside at the trial has
curly hair, as has also the clerk
whose duty 1t will be to record the
proceedings.
The regular panel of Jurors serv-
ing in criminal court No. / will first
be examined as possible jurors III the
Bradley case. The panel includes
five grocers, four other merchants,
two clerks, two insurance agents, a
brickmaker, a barber, a bartender, a
bicycle dealer, an ice dealer, baker,
timer, publisher, musician, a
waiter and real estate man.
From this panel, and possibly 9TH
ers similar, is to be secured a jury
which will judge this frail little
! woman, and which, she hopes, will
come up to her ideal, thus expressed:
II should like my jury to be made
up OF men who have loved women
perhaps | should say who have loved
one woman deeply and truly-men
who are capable of understanding
the grand passion l should like
/ them to be men of good education
and of refined tastes. 1 should like
to have a jury of men who know and
! love the poets, who understand art
and who love all that is beautiful
and noble in life"
/ One of the most important witness
! es for the defense will probably be
the Rev. David Utter, pastor Unity
church, Denver. He was a friend and
cO1worker of Mrs. Bradley and was
also intimately acquainted with SEN
ator Browns family. Mr.. Utter is
said to be prepared to give it as his
opinion that Mrs. Bradley was in
sane when she killed Brown, and
that even her mad love for the Utah
senator was in itself a species of in
sanity.
In an interview the Rev. Utter
said: Mrs. Bradley was a woman
one could we'll be proud to call
friend. l respect her for what she
endured through her foolish infatua-
tlon for man she knew was bad to
the heart. But a woman in love
thinks not of goodness or badness,
Kindness or cruelty, and whether the
object of her love be thief or a
murderer, the woman who Is really
Infatuated overlooks this and cares
for nothing but that she has the
man of her choice"
In his will, written August %
1906, four months before he was shot
down at the Hotel Raleigh in this
city, Senator Brown specifically
denied the paternity of Mrs. Brad
ley's children.
Il do not give or devise or be-
queath anything to any of the chill
dren of Mrs Anna M. Bradley" is
the language of the will Il do not
think either or any child born to
Mrs. Anna M. Bradley is or are
mine, but whether such child or
children is or not expressly provide
that neither or any of them shall re-
ceive anything from my estate. |
have never married Anna M. Brad
ley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such reIa-
ton ever existed between us to iusti-
fy such interference, l direct my
executor to contest any claims of any
kind that she may present and | di-
rect that she receive nothing from
my estate" Mr.. Brown bequeathed
all his property, valued at about
$4,000, to his two children by the
hrst and second wife, Alice Brown
and Max Brown.
Against this is the statement of
Mrs. Bradley, who declares that time
and again Brown promised e. marry
her.
Mr.. Brown was a coward" saws

Arthur Brown listened, and wavered.
