Yet Martin Brav Had Pre-
viously Told His Wife He
Would Kill Her. "And
He Did"

In the Bray murder trial yester-
day County Attorney Joe Jackson tes-
titled as witness that Daisy Aston
Bray, on her death bed, told him
Bray had threatened to kill her. And
he did," Mrs. Bray had said.
After Jackson testified, the state
rested, and Attorney Sulgrove for the
defense, made the opening address.
He made it plain that the killing in
no particular would be disputed, that
the defense would devote all its cf-
forts to showing that Martin Bray
had acted from 'impulsive insanity
when he fatally shot his eX-Wife and
her escort on Park and Montana
streets one evening last May.
Sulgrove said that Bray had been
very queer man ever since he was
injured by fall Of ground in the
| Spcculator four years ago. as a re-
suit Of which he bad been several
months in the hospital. SusroVc
said that it was in consideration OF
that very serious injury while IN the
company service that the A. C.. NJ. had
given Bray an easy job ever since and
had paid him $l,35O a year. This
easy lob was billet as shift boss,
where Bray would be expected only to
look on while sane men worked
The first witness for the defense
was l.. A. Odoll Odell said he had
worked under Bray for a year and a
half-up to within a short time be-
fore the killing. Odell said that Bra!
was often queer; had foolish, imprac,
ticable ideas about doing the work
was always proposing impossible
dangerous experiments; and when
told BY sensible men that the ideas
were impossible, Bray would "fly of
the handle.
The witness said that Bray Otter
got drunk, but generally was moro
sensible then than when sober. Bra.
also had falling fits said Odell.
W. II. Peck testified that Bray wa
never in the habit of looking anyon'
: in the eye. 1t was Mr.. Peck whit
= signed Bray's petition to the court TO
the right to carry gun.
Mr.. Hicklin, for the defense, th1

not justify a gigantic military enter

wiki until | see the way out than
to have Britain bankrupt. 1t is my
earnest conviction that intervention
was the greatest act of stupidity" :"
He said that Russia would be diff
cult to conquer and it would require
huge armies for the task.
