I
Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Judge An
derson, in the trial of John r.
Walsh. charged with misappropria-
ti0n of the funds of institutions with
which he was connected, today ruled
that the books of the Chicago Ma
tional bank and of the other Walsh in
stitutions constituted competent evil
dence and that counsel for Walsh had
no constitutional right to exclude
them. Following up this victory, the
prosecution, through the testimony of
National Bank Examiner T.. +. MoXey,
proceeded to trace ten instances of al
legged Irregularities in accounts which
il is contended indicate misappropria-
ton of the funds of the Chicago Ma
tional bank by its former president.
From book to book throughout the
afternoon, the bank examiner traced
the transactions and pointed out con-

appeared that the task set before him

since each of the 100 counts in the IN
dictment must be traced through a
half dozen or more books.
Mr. Moxey's testimony, given in a
straightforward manner, but with fire.
quent Interruptions by counsel for the
defense, was in substance that on Feb
ruary /. 1904, the discount register OF
the Chicago National bank showed a
memorandum note for $4,000. Sc
cured by certificates for 100000 in
Illinois Southern railway bonds, and
that on the same day the proceeds.
amounting TO $9O,763, were credited
to Mr.. Walshs personal account. He
said that Mr. Walsh's account was
charged on the same day with three
checks. one of s25.O00, another of
$50. 600 to the Southern Indiana rail-
road. and third for $4,000 to the
Illinois Southern. He further showed
than on March 80, 1907, the discount
register records a memorandum note
for $4,000 with the same security as
to the others, and that the proceeds OF
the discount note $9l,356. were cred
tied on the same day to Mr.. Walsh's
personal account Further, he showed
that on the same date $4,000 was
paid to the Chicago Chronicle. S25,-
600 to the Illinois Southern and $25,-
600 to the Southern Indiana, the
amounts being charged to Walsh's ac-
count and credited to the railroads

OUTLINE OF ITS PLAN

Woman to Tell of Prisoners
Girlhood and Her Many
Troubles.

toy Voufuhf Dpottaf s-caeco sNhos
Washington, Nov. 1S.-The founda-
tion was laid today for the plea of the
defense in the trial of Mrs. Annie NJ
Bradley. charged with the murder of
former United States Senator Arthur
Brown, of Utah.
The plea, as heretofore made evil
dent, Will be insanity or more accur-
ately, perhaps, mental irresponsbility.
Of the prisoner at the time of the
tragedy. AS on the previous days of
the trial, the court was thronged with
Interested spectators. Outside there
was steady downpour of rain. With
I'm the dramatic scene being enacted
had setting dark and somber. The
prisoner, frail and weak, almost to the
point of collapse, sat behind her coun-
sci. manifesting comparatively little
interest in the proceedings. Occasion
ally she exchanged a few words with
her attorneys, but only at rare inter
Vals During the afternoon she sat
with her face buried in her hands for
nearly an hour without moving.
The evidence adduced today tended
To throw light upon Mrs. Bradley's
condition at the time of the tragedy.
Newspaper men and physicians occu-
pied the stand during most of the two
sessions of the court. In each instance.
the newspaper men testified that at
lne E'le tneN saw MfS. Bra uley, SnOlt-
ly after the shooting, she was greatly
agitated, and two of them declared she
was wild and haggard looking. Ply
sicians who knew her before the muir
der and who subsequently examined
and treated her were put upon the
stand to show that her physical condi-
tion was such as likely to produce
mental aberration, or at least ire
sponsibility for her action.
pathetic touch was given the case
in the afternoon when Mrs. Bradley's
aged mother, Mrs M. f.. Madison,
told~pf an accident which her daughter
had Sustained when she was a small
child. one of her playmates acci-
dentally struck her on the head with a
hoe. She was Ill for several weeks and
Mrs. Madison testified that subse-
quently she suffered greatly fro'n Sc
we're headaches.
The last OF the day Colonel NJ.
lkaighn, a lawyer of Salt Lake city,
testified that Mrs. Bradley visited him
at his office I'm Salt Lake City and told
that she must talk TO somebody or she
would go crazy and that she wanted to
talk to him because he was friend
of Arthur Brown
Objection being made TO the line of
testimony being adduced, Justice
Stafford held a prolonged conference
with the attorneys for both sides. at
the conclusion OF which he directed an
adjournment Of the case until tomor-
row. Meantime an understanding was
reached that some change would be
made By counsel for the defense in
the order of which they will follow In
presenting their case.

El Paso. Nov. 1S.-Fire has been
burning for three days In the main
shaft of the Calumet and Arizona and
the Copper Queen mines at Bisbee,
Arizona, and efforts TO put out the
flames have been fruitless. Owing to
the accumulation of gases under
ground, miners are unable to stay In
the shafts for more than a few min

blaze that is steadily eating out the

shafts
The owners OF the mines have kept
the fire secret and the Information
Is given out by a miner who has been

involved are the richest In that sec

origin of the fire Is unknown and no
