 It was 11:l5 a. m. when District At torney Baker announced the govern ment's satisfaction with the jury. MT. Hoover responded for the defense with similar statement, and for the first time the prisoner faced the 12 men who are to determine her fate. They were sworn and without further ceremony Assistant District Attorney Turner began the pre- sentation of the governments side of the case. He first read the indictment and then In direct language detailed the facts of the tragedy which resulted in the death of former United States Sen ator Brown. He told how Mrs Bradley had gone to the hotel and registered as Browns wife, of how she had sought him out at his room and on the second visit had fired the two shots which five days afterwards sent the man to hls grave, and finally of two chambermaids and the proprietor of the hotel entering the room after hearing the shots fired and finding the wounded man lying on the floor. The hotel proprietor asked who shot him and he replied by pointing to Mrs. Bradley, saying that woman over there.' Brown was then asked if she was his wife and both he and Mrs Bradley replied in the negative, she ad- ding that while 0e was not his wife, he was the father of her children
 MT Turner said 1t should be shown also that Mrs. Bradley had said that her act was deliberate. If he said in conclusion, 'the government suc- ceeds in proving these things and if you believe 1t was a deliberate murder, l think 1t would be your duty to return q verdict of guilty as Vlicted." Mrs Bradley was vlsibly affected as the re- cital proceeded. She closed her eyes but did not approach breakdown.

She said Mrs. Bradley had first come to the room about o'clock in the morning, and finding the senator out, had taken a seat and remained a few minutes. About 2:30 o'clock of the same day, while occupied in the adjoining room, Miss Kidwell heard two shots and had dis tinguished male voice crying, Help! Help' I then entered Browns room" she said, "and saw Brown lying on the floor and Mrs. Bradley near -.m."
