FrendIeSS and HI Alone,
Mrs. Bradley SITS Doz0ncast
And Under Aa0tatL Strain

Mrs. Bradley was not in court when
the gJlyeI fell. While the routine Of
calling the jurors names was in prog
ress the little door at the back OF the
room opened and Mrs. Bradley came in
accompanied by a baiIin. She slipped
quietly down the aisle, and it was not
until she took a seat at the counsel
table that the throng in the court room
realized that the slight little figure IN
black was Mrs. Annie Madison Bradley.
whose tragic life story was about to
be unfolded 10 the world.
In order to reach her chair Mrs. Bred
ley was compelled to pass within two
feet of Max Brown. son Of the muir
dered nan, who sat IN the front row of
spectators. Few IN the court room
knew OF the silent challenge that passed
between those two. the son who had
only thoughts OF kindness and loyalty
for his father; the woman who had
given her life. her honor. and all for
him for whose killing she was about
to go On trial It was only for an in
slant that these two almost touched
each other, but It was a tragic mo-
msnt. It brought back to botn a past
hIled with sunshine and happiness, mis-
cry and despair.
Defendant Deathly Pale.
Mrs. Bradley was gowned entirely in
black, the only light to her costume
was a bit Of white ruching in her neck.
She was deathly pale. and the lines
about her mouth were deeply drawn.
Dark circles were under her eyes and
IT. was manifest that she had passed
d sleeplesS night.
That Mrs. Bradley has no wishes
as to the kind of men who will
serve on the jury, was plainly shown
by her demeanor during the for
NAL examination OF the talesmen by the
District Attorney and Mr. Hoover.
Mrs. Bradley kept her eyes on the floor

close her eyes, bite her lip, and occa-

strain under which she was suffering.
As the day wore on Mrs. Bradley be
