WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Cross ex-
animation of Mrs. Bradley in her trial
on the charge Of numbering former
Senator Arthur Brown Of Utah was
resumed. District Attorney Baker
brought out the statement from the
witness that she was first arrested for
adultery in 1902 Both she and Brown
had been arrested three times on that
charge. Mrs. Bradley said Mrs. Brown
had instigated the arrests. She said
that Notwithstanding these arrests she
continued these relations with Brown,
both at Salt Lake City and Mt the farm.
Much notoriety was given the case, she
said when the arrests were made.
She said in reply to other questions
that she had continued to live with
Senator Brown Notwithstanding the
exposure of them by the arrests. She
also told of the visits of her pastor,
Rev. DR.. Utter. to the farm at Poca-
telo, Ida, in 1902.
"He came to see you at the instance
of Mrs. Brown, did he not!' asked Mr..
Baker.
"He said he did" the witness replied.
"Did he not try to get you to leave
Mr.. Brown
"He did"
Mrs. Bradley also told of Browns
purchase Of the revolver he gave her.
She repeated that he had told her to
use it for protection against Mrs.
Brown, adding that his wife was a
very injudicious person and that it
might be needed. Mrs. Bradley said,
however, that she had had no fear of
Mrs. Brown and did not carry the re-
volver on her account.
The questions then dealt with the
subject of Senator Browns jealousy Of
her, and several names were mention
ed as being involved, including one
who was designated as 'the priest"
She repeated these names in letter
to the senator, to which she added,
'Let us forget them and sip life's nee
tar from each other"
"What did you mean by that?" Mr..
Baker asked.
II don't think it necessary to explain
this" replied the witness.
Mrs. Bradley did not want to say
who was meant by ''the priest" but
after much questioning said that Sen
ator Brown always insisted upon call
ing DR.. Utter 'the priest" She de-
clared there was nc foundation for
Browns jealousy.
Mrs. Bradley admitted that Brown
was addicted to the drink habit, and
she said they frequently quarreled.
"Do you remember the time you
struck him in the mouth with an UNI
brella and knocked his teeth out?" she
was asked.
II do" the witness replied. She
then detailed some of the particulars
of disagreement, saying that he had
said cruel things to her, adding that
she had lifted her parasol and struck
him. Ills teeth were mere shell
and easily broken" she said.
An extract from letter written by
Mrs. Bradley to Senator Brown in 1902
was shown to her. 1t read:
Keep away from the enemy and
you will prosper in love and happi-
ness. Get you good room. How
would it do to have good bed put up
in your big back officer"
when you referred to the enemy
whom did you mean?" Mr.. Baker in
'quired.
Everybody who was interfering"
she sharply replied. She Indignantly
denied that she referred in particular
to Mrs. Brown, but had reference to
Judge Henderson, Mr.. Barnes and 9TH
ers. Her eyes began to water, and she
appeared about to cry, but didn't.
Mrs. Bradley was closely questioned
about any uncomplimentary remarks
made by her against Mrs. Brown.
do you recall ever having referred
to Mrs. Brown as the old woman on
the hip"
II never did. ! never spoke disre-
spectfully of her." replied Mrs Brad.
Icy, with decision.
In 1901 Mrs. Bradley wrote letter
to Mr.. Brown, saying:
Madam (Afrs. Brown said If every
thing Should cease between us, she
would forgive me and never let It
make any difference in our friend
ship" She admitted writing the letter,
but could not recall the incident that
