| of something inside. 1t was the thought
of her love for him that controlled her"
When DR.. Utter conversed with her
I he said Mrs. Bradley was worn and
weary, not pale particularly. He said
she at times would appear hopeful and
at other times in the depths of despair.
/ On crOss-examination by District At
| torney Baker, DR.. Utter declared that
Mrs. Bradley was rational in her con-
Versation. He emphatically stated that
/ her reputation in Salt Lake for peace
was good. The witness was then ex-
/ cused and he took a chair behind Mrs.
Bradley and comforted her. They con-
versed freely and Mrs. Bradley evil
IDENTIFY felt that DR.. Utters testimony
/ had not hurt her smiling at something
/ he said.
Expert Declares Her Sane.
! DR.. Edward NJ. Brush, an expert in
/ insanity cases and editor of the Amer
/ lean Journal of Insanity. testified he
! had observed the defendant in court
/ for ten days.
/ DR.. Brush said he could find no rea-
son for believing that the defendant
was insane. He regarded her as sane.
/ He did not consider her headaches in
early life as indicating insanity and
/ the fact that they had not continued
:
cause of some organic trouble.
The blow on her head had occurred
/ at too remote a time to be connected
with any insanity in her in 1904 or 1905
/ DIR. Brush gave 1t as his opinion that
/ the illegal operation and the subsequent
/ sepsis were not severe enough to ser
iously injure Mrs. Bradley's health. The
! occurrence of sepsis IN connection with
such operations was not unusual. Mrs.

stated in the hypothetical question was
read to the witness, who said.
The whole thing is not consistent
with any form Of insanity"
/ DR.. Brush could see in the appear
ance of Mrs. Bradley after the shooting
as described by reporters nothing to in
dictate she was insane at the time. Re
marks made by the defendant after the
murder and several other circum-
stances, he declared, showed she was
| sane.
| He could find in the hypothetical
question no condition on the part of
| Mrs. Bradley indicating puerperal in
sanity which, he said, continues from
| several weeks to several months. He
could find no evidence Of general infec-
/ ton.
/ The condition under which Mrs. Brad
/ ley testified to having an Illegal OPP
Grafton performed in 1906. on Saturday
/ then being out on the following Mon
day, he said, indicated that if she had
had sepsis at all at that time the at
tack was extremely light.
| The family history of the defendant
| showing insanity, was called to the at
/ tention of the witness. He said the
history Of the defendant was not suffi-
cient to show that she was especially
/ liable to insanity. The history of one
aunt, showing epileptic insanity and
! the insanity Of another aunt, he said
was not necessarily hereditary.
| Judge Powers questioned DR.. Brush
/ to bring out that he had been sum-
moned here and would be paid by the
government for his services. DR.. Brush
said he would have testified that Mrs
Bradley was insane when she shot Sen
ator Brown If he had thought so.
Or. JeIIiffe's Opinion.
DR.. Jelliffe. an alienist OF New York,
Was called to the stand. A spectator,
| eager to see what was going on arose
! BE seated" commanded Justice Stat
ford. This is not a show" he de-
| clared, cit is not theatre"
! Counsel for the government read the
/ hypothetical question to the witness
after which DIR. Jelliffe said that as
sunling the statement of facts to be
| true, he believed Mrs. Bradley was
sane when she shot Senator Brown.
There are no evidences that she was
insane, either direct or implied" said
DR.. Jelliffe. On the contrary, there
are abundant signs that she was ra-
tional and coherent throughout the
whole period covered in and about the
time of the act"
He admitted that the evidence did
show a short period Of acute delirium,
an infection. when Mrs. bradley had a
! premature birth. 1t was a transitory,
delirious state, such as one might have
from inliuerza, pneumonia, typhoid
fever or any acute disease of that ma
ture.
From your understanding of the his
tory of this case, were there any evil
dences OF puerperal Insanity" asked
the district attorney.
There is absolutely no evidence of
| puerperal insanity" DR.. Jelliffe re-
piled. Coming to the subject Of toxic
insanity, DIR. Jelliffe emphatically stat
ed that in his opinion Mrs. Bradley did
not have toxic insanity when she shot
| Senator Brown.
Merely Symptoms.
| The wringing of her hands and her
/ AAe-<tu COllulllOil W HIGH Adu Dttll lGSIi-
| fed to were symptoms which accom-
pany toxic insanity. but standing alone
! they were not significant. Peiple who
are simply angry make such demon
STATIONS.
Dr.. Jelliffe could not see i'm the evil
dence any relationship between the
collateral insanity and Mrs. Bradley
/ so far as hereditary insanity was con-
! cerned.
As to the blow on the head received
/ by Mrs. Bradley when child, Dr. Jel-
/ life said that incident was too remote
as factor Of insanity to be consid-
cred. DR.. Jelllffe corroborated a state
ment of DR.. Brush that in the torn let
ters he found no evidence of insanity.
Mrs. Bradley paid close attention to
the testimony of the alienists. She
seemed TO be in good spirits. Rev. DR..
David Utter sat beside her the entire
day.
DR.. Jelliffe said he had been called
here by the government to testify in
the case, but he would have given his
opinion that the defendant was insane
as readily as that she is sane had be
believed so.
The government then rested.
Prayers of Defense Submitted.
The defense submitted to the court
