NEW WIRELESS RECORD.
Transport Thomas Picks Up Message
at 1900 Miles,

Washington, Nov. 27.-Possibly cleo
trical conditions over the vast Pacific
ocean are more favorable for wireless
telegraph work than elsewhere, but
IL is certain that with apparatus of
small power compared to the giant
transmitters employed in the Atlantic
wireless telegraph service the army
transports on the Pacific have been
extraordinarily successful in main
tanning communications. The Thomas
picked up the naval station at San
Francisco recently while she was l.
400 miles distant, but even better, on
the same trip, that transport caught a
message from the naval station at
Sitka, distant in straight line 1900
miles, the best performance yet record
ed by the wireless afloat.

mental condition.
1t is reported in Brooklyn that Cash
ier Campbell of the bank, who is also

Maxwell four years ago was cashier
of the Kings County bank at the time
that institution was merged with the
Union bank. another Brooklyn institu-
tion. At that time he had no property,
SO far as known, but he enlisted the
assistance of William Cow of the ad-
vertising firm of Ward & Cow and
these two, with others, organized the
Borough bank of Brooklyn. The Bor-
ough bank, operating on what has
been described as liberal lines,
achieved a remarkable success for its
officers and directors and before the
crash came a few weeks ago Maxwell
was reported to be worth 100000. All
this, however, was stripped Hom him
in the effort to recoup the bank for
questionable loans, for the making OF
which he, as president, had been held
responsible. He is now penniless.

Defense RESTS CASE
Mrs. Bradley Recalled as Last Wit.
ness in Her Own Behalf.
NOTED ALlENISTS ON STAND
Evans Positive That Defendant Was
Insane When She Killed Former
Senator Brown of Utah.

Washington Nov 27.-Two distin-
guished alienists testified that Mrs.
Bradley was insane when she shot
and killed former Senator Arthur M.
Brown of Utah. Both of these experts
have national regulations and have
figured prominently in many trials
that have attracted widespread atten-
ton. They were Dr. Charles G. Hill
Of Baltimore, professor of nervous and
mental diseases at the Baltimore med.
ical college, and DR.. Britton ID. Evans
of New YcTk, a member of the board
of directors of the New York hospital
for the insane. DR.. Evans was one of
the experts who testified in the Thaw
case in New York.
Both DR.. Hill and DR.. Evans were
positive that Mrs. Bradley was in
sane and could not distinguish be-
tween right and wrong.
DIR. Evans was very dramatic in his
relation of the various facts which
caused him to believe that Mrs Brad
ley was insane. He was severe in
Brown in performing criminal opera
tions upon the defendant, which
brought admonition from the court in
the form of a suggestion that Senator
Brown was not on trial and could not
defend himself and his name was only
to be used when absolutely necessary
to show his domination over the de-
fendant.
At the opening of the afternoon
session the defendant was recalled to
the stand. Mrs Bradley, In reply to
questions by the dist=sct attorney,
stated that while she and her hus-
band cohabited she gave him no ex-
cuse for divorce. She then was ex-
cused and the defense rested its case.
Murdered Mans Son Testifes.
Max Brown, son of former Senator
Brown, was the first witness called
for the prosecution in rebuttal Mr..
Brown testified to frequent visits to
his fathers home of Mrs Bradley and
the child, Arthur. These visits con.
tinued until the fall of 1901.
After the disclosure of his fathers
relations with Mrs. Bradley Mr.. Brown
said Mrs. Bradley visited his home
on Brigham street several times and
took meals there. He said he after
wards saw his father and Mrs. Brad.
ley sitting on a bed at the house on
the ranch. She stayed all night and
left the next day.
Judge Enger of Salt Lake testified
that in March, 1905, Mrs. Bradley
tried to get him to go to Mrs. Brown
and induce her to divorce the senator
so she could marry him. He said he
had replied that he was not in the
business of breaking up families.
Judge William King, also ~of Salt
Lake, said he, at the instance of Sen,
ator and Mrs. Brown, had made Mrs
Bradley an offer of a $4,000 home and
$100 a month until the youngest child
was twenty-one years of age. This
Mrs. Bradley Indignantly declined
saying she wanted to marry Brown
''and get rid of the old lady on the
HILL" meaning Mrs. Brown

A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN

Every once in awhile we read of an
act on the part of a true gentleman
that makes our hearts Jingle. Because
there are gentlemen and gentlemen.
A fellow can be q gentleman and be
as rough as a peal most of the time,
and q man can be as big a sconndrel
while wearing a dress suit as any
member of a murderous gang, who
stalks, stilletto in hand, after dark,
striving to stick a victim in the back.
A writer in the Indianapolis News
tells the following story, and it is re-
produced because it is just as good an
expression Of editorial thought as can
be written on the same topic. Here it
is:
At the dinner station where wc
stopped one day on a certain Tenne-
ssee railroad almost the first sight
which greeted the eyes of those who
got of was a rough burial box on the
platform, and seated near it was an
old black woman with a handkerchief
to her eyes. When kindly asked the
cause of her sorrow she pointed to the
box and replied:
"De old mans in dar.'

as he went over to him and said: 81

He entered the express Office, paid
for the shipment of the body, bought
the widow a ticket to Charlestown and
then dropped a ten-dollar gold piece in
her hand and said:
"Give him a decent burial. nanny.
and this will put a headboard to mark
the grave."

But he hurried in to snatch q bite
to eat. When he was gone / made in
