ALEX|EFF SHOWN
IN A BAD LIGHT
vICEROY'S NAME CREATES
LAUGH WHEN MENTIONED
DURING CoURT-MARTIAL.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 13. General
Kuropatkin testified yesterday at the
trial by court martial Of Lieut.. Gen.
Stoessel and other army officers of
high rank charged with needlessly sur
rendering Port Arthur to the Japanese,
and what he said made a sensation in
the courtroom O nthe whole his evil
dence was favorable to Gen. Ssoessel.
He declared that the il Japanese
could have taken Port Arthur. by as
sault in the early part Of the war. The
defenses were then so incomplete,
fortress must have fallen at the first
vigorous attack. but the slowness Of
the Japanese and the resistance made
by the army in the field gave the Rus
SLAMS time to improvise defense works
which had withstood the Japanese for
months.
Favorable to General Fock.
The conduct of Gen. Fock who Is
charged with responsibility for the de-
feat at Nanchan and the subsequent
retirement to Port Arthur. also was
reviewed by the court. and the evil
dence of Gen. Kllropatkin was helpful
to this officer as we'll
Gen. Kuropatkin declined to answer
several questions on the ground that
to do so would make known military
secrets, but he did say that the whole
plan OF the war was based on the sup
posed invincibility of the Russian
fleet and that the original scheme for
the defense of Port Arthur could not
squadron had been crippled D, Iile
be carried out successfully after the
"treacherous opening attack of the
Japanese"
Position UntenabIe Without Fleet.
According to the indictment, Gen.
Fock's retreat from Nanchan jeopar-
died the fortress. but Gen. Stoessel
produced orders from Gen Kuropatkin
and Viceroy Alexieff justifying Fock's
retirement, and he obtained the ad-
mission from Gen. Kuropatkin that
the position was untenable without
the assistance of the fleet. Over the
fleet Gen. Stoessel had no authority.
The name of Viceroy Alexieff. who
has declined to appear as J. a witness,
was mentioned continually in an unfa-
vorable light, and ripple of merri-
ment was provoked by aphrase in one
of his orders saying: "The chief task
Of Fock is to retreat at the proper
time"
Gen. Kuropatkin did not conceal his
animositv toward the former viceroy
and declared that Alexieff had forbid
den him to visit. the fortress before
the siege.

First and foremost we have no
word of woe for Senator Brown. III
the forceful language of the street,
he got what was coming to him.
Sympathy with him is entirely out
of the question:.
But-will Mrs. Bradley get what
is coming to her?
Not II large corp. of able law
yers and uncounted host of lacry-
nose reporters can help 1t.
Yet every offense that call be laid
at the dead mans door was shared
in by the woman who killed him.
Brown was a married man when he
began paying attentions to Mrs.
Bradley. And she was a married
woman when she began receiving
those attentions with every evidence
of pleasure and delight. Brown did
not scruple to break his wifes
heart, and Mrs. Bradley had equally
little care for the feelings of her hus
band. Brown was willing to beget
children who are doomed to go
through life with the stigma of crime
haheing over them-and Mrs. Brad
ley was willing to take the chances of
bearing those children. Brown was
willing to murder his own unborn
oHopTiHB Dy CTiIHlHdl OpeTdt1OnS, ana
in this gentle work he had Mrs.
Bradley for a helpmeet. Brown, SO
the story goes. bought the pistol
with which he was shot, and gave it
to his paramour to use on his wife.
The story almost staggers belief.
But If 1t be true. then 1t is also true
that Mrs. Bradley accepted the pis-
tol for the same kindly purpose, and
and even that it was at her entreaty
that Brown gave her the means to
murder the woman whom both were
wroLging.
He was married man, with no
earthly reason for getting a divorce,
when he first made that premise.
And Mrs. Bradley was married
woman whose husband had done her
no wrong.
But Brown repeated that prom
ise after his wife's death, and after
Mrs Bradley's divorce? He did.
And he broke It? He did and wrote
himself down an unmitigated cur
when he di' so. And-Mrs. Brad
ley kept right on receiving his at
tentions.
IIe."- -AiihAr-onnld- -lnnk-fnr truth
from the other In the light of their
mutual history is not easy to imag-
inc. The fact remains that Mrsi
Bradley did not begin her pistol
practice until she believed that she
had been supplanted by another
woman, as she herself had supplant-

woes of her nameless children came
home to her mothers heart, and her
brain reeled under the cruel shock,

evident truth in two words, and say
she was Jealous?

insanity never comes suddenly. 1t
is only when someone is to be saved
from the penalty of the law that en-
otional insanity becomes thing that
strikes down otherwise fairly sane
minds. And mark this: If Mrs.
Bradley is subject to fits of homici-
is alleged to have killed Senator
Brown, she needs careful seclusion
and attention the rest of her days.
If the evidence thus far produced
in the case means anything it proves
that both Brown and Mrs. Bradley
were criminals of a peculiarly unre-
liable. peculiarly selfish type. Brown
may have been little the more scru
pulous, as he certainly was the more
cowardly; we do not know. But it
is certain that neither Brown nor
Mrs. Bradley ever allowed honor, or
duty, or the rights of others, or the
claims of children, or the most SOL
emn pledges to stand in the way of
their own personal pleasures for a
moment. And that is the essence
of crime; to put ones own tempor-
ary qualification above the rights of
his fellows, as well as above his own
continued welfare. That Aourse
brought Senator Brown to a fairly
satisfactory conclusion. all things
considered. But an exactly parallel
course should bring Mrs. Bradley to
no restful haven, where decent wo-
men will clasp her to their breasts
and decent men weep maudlin tears
over her sorrows.

that equipment was standing idle on
