yorce from his legal wife and of her
great grief and shame when finally he
turned against her. During this pitiful
recital Mrs Bradley was manifestly
distressed and often on the point of
physical collapse. AS to the circum-
stances of the shooting, she said, she
remembered little. Unbidden and un-
expected she had come on to Wash
ington to see Brown and in his room
had seen the letter from Mrs. Annie
Adams, mother of Maude Adams, the
noted actress, showing expectation of
her marriage to the senator, and then
when she confronted him there all that
followed was a blank until she heard
him calling for help. She knew he had
seized her in his anger.

Hearst Recount Act Void.
The special New York state law
which was passed on recommendation
Of Governor Hughes providing for a
recount Of the votes IN the election
which resulted in the seating Of Mayor
Mcclellan was declared unconstitution,
al by the court Of appeals in a unani-
nous appeal delivered Nov. 10. The
court, finds the recount act unconstitu-
uOnal on three technical grounds-frst.
in that it provided for an original can
vass of the ballots cast at the election
of 1905 by others than the bipartisan
boards of canvassers prescribed by ar
ticle 6 of section 2 of the constitution:
second, in that as judicial determina-
ton of the title to Office it fails to ac-
cord to Mcclellan his constitutional
rights to trial by jury; third, in that
1t Implies the right of the legislature
to legislate a man into Office.
This leaves Mr.. Hearst, the claimant
with nothing but the original quo war
ranto proceedings to depend upon and
which are thought to, be too costly
and long drawn, out to be effective be
fore the expiration Of Mayor Mcclel-
lan's term. s
