Deliberately Broke Up Sena-

With Difficulty,


Washington Nov 2O.-That Mrs.
/ Bradley did not come to Washington
with any intention of killing Former
Senator Arthur NJ. Brown, of Utah,
and that she did not even remember
shooting him, she told the jury in her
/ trial today. The statement was not
reached until the afternoon session OF
court, the first half of the day being
given largely to the Identification OF
letters from Mr.. Brown 10 Mrs. Brad
! ley. and from her TO him, every bit OF
which was read.
The real tragedy formed the sub
ject of the afternoon sitting. All that
time Judge Powers brought out the
| fun statement In his examination In
chief. This consumed only few
minutes and as soon as he concluded
I District Attorney Baker entered upon
his cross-examination. lie devoted
comparatively little attention to the
shooting itself, but going back TO the
early days of the relationship between
senator Brown ana Mrs. Bradley,
sought TO show by reading letters and
Questioning the witness that she had
deliberately undertaken TO break up
Senator Browns home and that she
was a. enmity with Mrs. Brown as
early as 1901. He also brought out
the fact that Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown had originally been strong
I friends and that this friendship even

Mrs Bradley was upon the whole
more tamBosed today than yesterday
There were times when she burst into
tears on sank into sighs and sobs. but
these were less frequent than on Tues
day. Her voice was, however, at all
times indistlnct and faltering. and she
was heard with the greatest difficulty.
Sne made no complaint of fatigue to-
day. and left the witness stand az the
end OF the day In very good condition.
She was dressed In the same simple
black gown she has worn since the
beginning of the trial, and as before. II
was relieved only by a bit of white
lace about the throat.
Tho fact that upon first going to
Senator Browns room az the Raleigh
hotel. Mrs. Bradley found there let
ter from Mrs. Annie Adams, the act
ress. to the senator was dwelt upon al
some length by Judge Powers, maxi
ing II evident that II Is his Intention To
attempt 10 show that the discovery OF
this letter supplied the Immediate mo-
tive for the killing Of Brown.
That letters was read at length by
Mr. Wells and was as follows;
