Did Not Know Senator,
Seven of the jurors knew. Senator
Brown only by sight or reputation. and
the eighth possessed merely A casual ac-
quaintarcc with linn. This Is Mr. Dunl-
beck.
The same situation held true as to Mrs,
Bradley except that most of the jurors
do not know her by sight even, Mr..
Dumbeck is acqua nteo With Mrs. Brad
ley in a. casual WY. having met her III
business capacity in the city water
works department in which she was en-
pluyed for almost four years between 1880
and 1895.
None oil the jurors ever supported Sen
ator Brown politically, and only one. Bag
ley, saw or heard him make political
speech or address i. jury. Bagley saw
the senator in a court room once. he said.
Practically all the jurors have lived i'll
Years each.
Every juror expressed the opinion that
a man has the right 10 dispose OF his
property as he sees 1T. as long as no
keeps within the confines OF the law but
expressed sympathy with that section OF
Itahs statutes which permits an illegit
mate child acknowledged by the father TO
share IN the property with the legitimate
children. This section. No. 2S$5, is a.
follows:
"Every illegitmstc child is an heir Of
the person who acknowledges himself TO
be the father OF such child. and In all
cases is an heir OF his mother and in
herits his her estate IN whole or in
part, as the case may oe, in the same
manner as II he had been born In lawful
wedlock. The issue OF all marriages null
in law or dissolved by divorce are lesiti-
mate"
Both Sides Well Pleased.
Both sides profess to be we'll pleased
with the jury, but the defense mauifested
slight apprehension that the jurors
might be. affected By sympathy for the
Bradley children on account OF their ''un-
fortunate condition., as Judge King put
il I'm quoting from Judge Powers. and
spared no pains To procure the assurance
from taleSmen that they would not be in
nuenced by this feeling.
Each side exercised two OF the three
pcremptory challenges allowed H.
The morning session was enlivcned by
a sharp tilt between Judge Powers and
Judge King over the form oI one OF Judge
Kings questions 10 David ArchboId. aft
Tense. Judge King asked Mr.. Archbold If
he knew Mrs. Bradley's husband Clar-
ence Bradley" Judge Powers objected to
the words. Mrs. Bradlcy's husband"
Counsel for the defense we'll knows, -
said Judge Powers, that Mrs. Bradley
has no husband Mrs. Bradley was d.
Norccd from Mr.. Bradley almost five years
ago. and counsel knows she has no hus-
band now. The question was put in that
form to prejudice. il possible, the minds
the jurors against Mrs. Bradley.
"Wen, do not know that Mrs. Bradley
secured divorce aud has no husband,
and the question was not put with pEeju-
diclal intent rctorted Mr.. King.
II do not wish To have To thresh out
all the old matters out of which this case
grew" replied Judge Powers. but II the
dofense's counsel wishes 10 drag ii all
in again am prepared TO meet him"
Counsel for plaintiff seems To he the
one who is dragging the old matter in , -
replied Judge King ''and 1 think this Is
just one of his bluffs
II generally carry my bluffs out re-
Piled Judge Powers.
With the suggestion from the court tina
counsel for the defense speak of Bradley
as tho former. husband of Mrs RradlcY
