WILL PLEAD INSANITY
Death Delays Trial of Mrs.
Bradley, Who Killed
Senator Brown.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE trial of
Mrs. Annie Bradley for the murder
year ago of former Senator Brown of
Utah was postponed today until We'd
nesday. Mrs. Bradley was in court
eager to face a jury and know her fate
as soon as possible. She was visibly
disappointed that the proceedings
amounted only to a formal arraign-
ment.
The delay was due to the adjourn
ment of court by Judge Stafford on
account of the death yesterday of Jus
tice McComas of the district court of
appeals.
There was a big crowd on hand in
criminal court No. !. when the case
was called for trial this morning. Mrs,
Bradley was brought in, attired wholly
in black, and spent the few minutes
that she remained in the chamber with
her head bowed. There was no sign
of nervousness about her, nor did she
give way to any emotion.
She seemed, however to wish TO
avoid the gaze of the crowd and she
uttered a sigh OF relief when she was
back in the retiring room again.
She is a small frail woman, with
brown hair and brown eyes. Traces
of former beauty linger in the face
where melancholy now sits and per-
haps remorse. The distinguishing fea-
ture about her is her hands-exceed-
ingly small, white. delicate, exquisiteIy
manicured
Insanity to Be Defense.
Whether Mrs. Bradley shall take the
witness stand in her own defense is a
problem that her counsel are still pom
dering. The defense Will be one of in
sanity-not emotional fnsanity-not
the unwritten law per Sc nor any OF
the subterfuges that the lawyers are
won't to resort to in such cases.

PULLMAN FOX JUGGLED
Charge Made Against Com
mittee of Equalization
Board.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-That figures were
tuggled TO produce a result favorable
TO the Pullman company is the charge
made against the capital stock COM
mittee of the state board of equaliza-
tion in a protest to the board
made yesterday by the Illinois Tax
Reform association, through it's secre-
tary. Maxwell Edgar
Mr.. Edgar asks that the 1907 report
of the capital stock committee be re-
fused and that the assessments of the
Pullman company and the manner OF
determining them be investigated.
The protest is intended as a basis
for suit against the corporation to
recover back taxes, especially an an
nual rebate of 80 per cent allowed by
the board to the company. 1t is al
legged that the company annually
lodges nine-tenths of its taxes
"One-Tenth What Law Requires"
The charge is made that the assess
ment made by the capital stock com
mittee on the capital stock and fran
chise of the company for 1906, 1905
and several years previous are redicu-
lously low-"f1xed arbitrarily at less
than one-tenth of what the law re-
that the same inadequate ass sessment
Will be returned by the committee on
this corporations property for the
present year. He asks that the capi-
tai stock and franchises for the taxes
of 1907 be based on the full valuation
of 100000 shares at $3.50 a share, less
tangible property assessed in Illinois.
In 1905. the protest says, the com
mittee put the full value of the capital
stock at less than one-third its par
value and only one-eighth of it's actual
value. In 1905 1t is alleged the COM
mittee found the value to be S143,-
722,405, or $120,O00.0OO more than in
1905.
Says Rebate Is Illegal.
The state boards habit of deduct
ing 30 per cent after finding the full
value is held by Mr. Edgar to be
illegal and he believes the company
liable on this account for back taxes
for several years.
