Washington, Nov. 21.-The story Of
former United States senator Browns
Acknowledgement Of the paternity of
the two youngest of Mrs. Bradley S
children was told i'm Judge Stafford's
court by other lips than hers.

Martin Montgomery as my children by
Annie NJ. Bradley" Such was Mr..
Browns own method OF expressing
himself on the subject. and the legend
was inscribed on soiled and blotted
piece of writing paper II was dated
February 10, 1905, and was brought
to light by Colonel Morris NJ. Kaigh-
en-. an attorney of salt Lake, the pres
ent receiver in the United States land
office in that city, and friend OF
Browns of thirty years standing.
Colonel Kaighen was on the witness
stand about an hour during the after
noon session of the Bradley trial. and
testified that Mrs Bradley brought
the tell-tale slip of paper TO his OF
flee just after she received II from
Brown, with the ink not yet dry, how
she fairly danced into his room, and
how she beamed with JOY as she held
the paper aloft and told him that now
all would be well. Colonel Kaighen
related many interesting facts con-
cerning his association with both Mrs.
Bradley and senator Brown, and upon
the whole made by far the best Wit
ness for the little woman that has Yet
taken the stand, herself excepted lie
told in simple but forcible language
of many dramatic interviews with
Mrs. Bradley. aud b.losed with the

been unbalanced. II hated to do H.
he said after he left the stand, Tor
Senator Brown was one of my most
intimate friends. but one can not trifle
with ones conscience"
other testimony in Mrs. Bradley's
behalf was given by Major Samuel a.
King, who related many incidents go-
ing to show that Mrs Bradley was In
a very nervous condition for some
time before coming to Washington,
and Arthur Barnes, assistant attorney
general of Utah An effort was made
to find a Mr.. Shrewsbury, an uncle
of Mrs. Bradley who had been
brought to Washington to testify con-
cerning the insanity In Mrs. Bradleys
family, but he had disappeared ana
could not be found. Judge Powers
explained that Mr.. Shrewsbury was
not used to courts and confidence was
expressed that he will make his APP
pearance tomorrow.
More placid, more capable Of assert
ing control over herself and more re-
sourceful apparently. than when she
took the witness stand on Tuesday,
Mrs. Bradley left II at noon today
after monopolizing the attention OF
the court for two days and half
She was more composed than az any
time and her counsel expressed con-
fidence that she would have been
able to go on longer If called upon
to do so They were satisfied with
her testimony and believe that q Will
result to her advantage There were
very few tears today. but on the other
hand smiles were more frequent on
the face of the prisoner than hereto
fore. There were some referenCes to
occurrences In connection with her
self and Senator Brown which EVIL
IDENTIFY touched her and aroused
agreeable memories. She was espe-
cially pleased when Colonel Kaighen
told the story of her presentation to
him OF Senator Browns acknowledge
ment OF his children. and she would
today have almost justified his char
