 Washington. November 22--The criminal court. in which Mrs. Annie M Bradley Is being tried on the charge of the murder of former United States Senator Arthur NJ. Brown of Utah will hold no session tomorrow, and as consequence there will be no further proceedings in the trial until Monday.
 When court adjourned today the de- fense had practically completed it's pre- sentation of proof except the testimony of experts who will be introduced for the purpose of showing that when Mrs. Bradley shot Senator Brown, she was insane. Several eminent alienists have volunteered for this service and 1t is now understood they will be called early next week. The hypoth etical question which will be submitted to them has been prepared. It contains 13,000 words
 Mrs. Bradley's mother was recalled today for the purpose of clearing up a point; several more of the Salt Lako witnesses were examined as to the con duct and bearing of Mrs. Bradley In that city and Mrs. Bradleys uncle, Ly- man Shrewsbury of California, told of insanity and eccentriclty in Mrs. Brad ley's family. Judge Henderson, Sena- tor Browns law partner. narrated in terviews with Mrs. Bradley relative to her intimacy with Mr. Brown and number of Browns letters to Mrs. Bradley were read. The reading of the letters furnished the most interesting incident of the day.
 They were filled with mingled pro- testations of love and reproaches for interest in other men, and they stirred Mrs. Bradley to deep emotion. She listened eagerly to stho readi~g and closing her eyes seemed entirely losl in the memories they awakened.
 The defendant was not in q buoyant mood during the day. Her manner was dejected and she looked as if she had had seepless night She was not so depressed however, that she could not laugh over the testimony of her uncle indicating that her aunt had been jealous of him.
 Mrs. Bradley Much Worn.
 Mrs. Bradley's appearance. which was as usual, in advance of the incoming of Judge Stafford was the signal for the craning of necks andicaused general stir in the court room. She looked much worn as if she had q sleepless night. She took her accustomed seat back of former Judge Powers and after few words with him turned to the reading of her mail. She carried in her hand a large cream white chrysanthemum, which had been presented to her.
 She frightened up when Assistant At torney General Arthur R. Barnes of Salt Lake resumed the stand and she followed him closely, seeming much affected whom he related interviews with her concerning Brown.
 Mrs. Bradley came to my office and talked about Brown marrying her. Barnes testified. "She told me he had many times promised to marry her, and that he had promised before Mrs. Brown died to get a divorce and marry her. She said he was putting the matter off and giving her no satisfaction. She was much disturbed about 1t and asked if l would not go and talk with Brown. She thought I might have some influence with him MT. Barnes said he refused to do so. W go to Browns office
 The visitor then repeated what he had told Mrs. Bradley following his talk with MT. Brown "I told her." he said, that when I went into Browns office, he took me into his private room and closed the door. He then said to me. Barnes, Mrs. Bradley is determined that l shall marry her. What shall l do? What do you think about it?'
 "I said: Now, senator you have asked that question, and I am going to speak very plainly on this subject, said MT. Barnes, continuing. said to him: Mrs. Bradlye claims that the younger brothers are your children. Now, l say, senator. you have never directly admitted to me that they are your children and 1 am not going to make any accusation, but you know yourself in your heart, you know whether they are your own chil- dreh. If they are your children. but one thing you can do as a man of honor, and that is to marry Mrs. Bradley. Even if you don't live with her but a. day. or not at all you should marry her and give the children name He said: Do you think so. Barnes?' I replied that l most certainly did. He then ushered me out of the door"
 Bad Intention.
 Mrs. Bradley heaved heavy sigh when Barnes said he never believed Brown intended to marry her
 'sI told Mrs. Bradley" he said, that in my opinion Senator Brown did not intend to marry her. and I advised her to look at the matter in that light and to try to make the best of it.. 1 advised her ia leave the city and take the children to California.
 Upon imparting this news to her" witness said, Mrs Bradley appeared very unhappy woman very depressed, very much agitated.
 Barnes said that when Mrs. Bradley went to Ogden, she called him on the te- ephone and told him that the "child had been born. but that 1t had died three days afterward."
 Speaking of Mrs. Bradleys general con dition at that time, the witness said: Tt was most pitiable. l regarded her as q broken-hearted woman. I wouldn't say she was insane except on the one subject of Arthur Brown. I considered her in- sanely affectionate. She seemed to be ab- solutely under his influence.
 Barnes testified that Mrs. Bradley's gen. eral reputation for peace and good order was good
 Was she rational?" asked District At torney Baker in cross-examination.
 "Yes. and no.' replied the witness, who said further that even when he told her the truth about Browns intentions. she
