Case, to Be Called.
HYPOTHETICAL
QUESTION ASKED
Government Attorneys Think
They Have Won Their Case,
but Immense Sympathy
Is Expressed for Mrs.
Bradley from All
Partsof Country.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. November ei.--
Whether the Bradley trial sall he con-
cluded this week or rot. 1t Will enter
upon It's ftnal stage almost Immediately
after the court conynnes Tomorrow
and 1t is confidently cXpc,ted that II
the end Is not attained before Saturday
night there will be comparatively little
to do the following week Ali Will
depend upon the extent of the wrangle
over technicalitles in connection with
the expert testimony as to Mrs. Brad
ley's mental condition when she shot
Senator Brown and the length of argu-
ment for and against her.
The Judges Instructions to the jury
the only other important feature still
to be taken into consideration. will
not consume more than an hours time
at the outside.
There will probably be three speeches
in Mrs. Bradley's interest-onc each by
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Wells In opening
for her and tone by Judge Powers in
closing. For tile government. Mr.. Tur-
ner will open and Mr.. Baker close.
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Wells do not
count upon consuming more than two
hours time between them, but 1t Is
probable that Judge Powers will talk
for an entire day, as nc will desire to
summarize the favorable testimony and
explain away as far as possible the
points against his client. Mr.. Baker
also will speak at length. 1t is there
fore probable that the better part Of
three days will be consumed III the
speech making.- The alienists will take
the stand Very soon after the begin
ming OF the courts sitting Tomorrow,
but not until more of Senator Browns
letters to Mrs. Bradley shall have been
read.
Noted Alieuists.
The professional men who will be
Introduced to testify In Mrs. Bradiey's
behalf are DR.. Britton D. Evans. medi-
cal director OF the New Jersey State
Hospital for the Insane. who was one
OF the experts called for the defense in
lthe Thaw trial: DR.. Charles D. Hill. Of
! Baitim.ars and Dr.a.p WI ifreds n, y Barton,
| an expert in mental and nervous dis
eases.
To these men Judge Powers will de-
tall the story of Mrs. Bradley'slife, and
| especially the part of 1t in which she
was associated with Senator Brown,
fand repeat In substance the greater
part of the testimony dealing with
| his treatment of her, and showing how
she WAS affected by it. after which he
will put the questions to them as to
whether they believe. In view OF all
these circumstances, the woman was
sane Wnen Sne Struch down the man
Ito whom she had been SO deeply at
tacied. They are expected to say no.
and in SO answering they will come
into conflict with the alienists for the
governnlent-Dr. Joliffe. of New York.
and Dr. Edward s. Brush. OF Baltimore.
The district attorney will do all IN his
power to combat the plea of insanity.
| He and his associates believe they have
made their case.
Tho prosecution Is also counting much
upon the revelations that will be made
| in letters of Mrs. Bradley's, which Were
found torn to pieces in her room after
her arrest for shooting Senator Brown.
They were rescued and pasted toge ther,
and Mrs. Bradley Identified them us hers
while on the stand.
! Much sympathy is being expressed
| from all parts of the country for Mrs,
Bradley. and in some instances 1t has
taken the shape of offers OF financial
assistance. Not only her attorneys,
but the mental experts. are rende ring
service without charge.
