BY HIS CRUELTY
Is Mrs. Bradley's Defense on
Charge of Murdering
Brown.
HER VERSION OF SHOOTING
Salt Luke Witnesses Tell of Her
Haunting Former Lover's House.
saj ISrown Hushed at Her
Before She Fired the Gun.
WASHINGTON. Nov. J5. That the de
fense of Mrs. Annie Bradley, on trial in
Criminal Court No. 1, on the charge of
murdering ex-United States Senator
Brown, would be insanity was made
evident beyond question by the prelimi
nary statement made to the court today
by her attorney. Mr. Hoover.
The prosecution consumed the entire
forenoon in concluding the examination
of its witnesses in chief to prove the facts
of the killing and, when It rested the
case, Mr. Hoover followed with his pre
liminary outl.nc of the case for the de
fense. He detailed the principal events
of Mrs. Bradley's life and entered
minutely Into the circumstances of her
intimacy with Mr. Brown. According to
Mr. Hoover's statement. It will be shown
that there Is a taint of insanity in Mrs.
Bradley's family.
The testimony presented today by the
prosecution was all Intended to show pre
meditation on the part of Mrs. Bradley
in killing Brown. The court adjourned at
2 o'clock until next Monday.
It is understood that, when the trial is
resumed, 'the Government will stubbornly
antagonise Mrs. Bradley's plea of insanity
and that much rebutting testimony will
be Introduced.
What She Told Hetectlve.
The first witness of the day was Mrs.
Marllia Thornburg, matron of the police
station No. 1, where Mrs. Bradley was
taken Immediately after the tragedy. She
told of the visit to the prisoner by United
Btateej Senator Sutherland, whose lan
guage was not heard by tho witness, and
also a visit by Detective Sergeant Grant,
of the local police force. She says she
heard the detective tell Mrs. Bradley that
anything she might say would be used
against her.
Mrs. Bradley had freely consented to
talk, and no difficulty had been encoun
tered by the detective In procuring a
statement from her.
Lieutenant Hartley, of the police force,
corroborated Mrs. Thornburg's testimony
concerning the visit of Mr. Grant and his
warning, but he said that Mrs. Bradley
had told the detective she did not wish
to make a statement.
After further testimony to pave the
way for Mr. Grant's statement, he
was called to the stand, but before he
could proceed Mr. Hoover made objection
on the ground that Mrs. Bradley's state
ment to the detective was not voluntary
and therefore not admissible. Judge
Stafford decided, however, that It was
proper, and Mr. Grant proceeded. He
said:
"Mrs. Bradley told me that Bhe was a
companion of Mr. Brown; that she .had
lived with him for a long time and had
children by him. I asked her how she
came to shoot him, but she would not
answer that. I asked her If she had
brought the pistol with her In a red bag.
She said she had not acted on Impulse,
but had thought over the deed for a long
time and had made up her mind that
If Mr. Brown did not do right by her she
was going to kill him."
Wanted Brown to Marry Her.
Policeman Umb also testified that Mrs.
Bradley had told him she had had the
revolver a long time, and had brought
It with her to Washington. He said at
the time Mrs. Bradley was very nervous
and her face was distorted.
Dr. Charles D. White, who dressed Sen
ator Brown's wounds aX the Emergency
Hospital, testllfed that the wounded pa
tient's hand was powder-burned. This
fact was brought out by the defense, evi
dently for the purpose of showing a pos
sibility of self-defense.
Albert H. Kelley. of Salt Lake City,
was introduced for the purpose of show
ing premeditation on Mrs. Bradley's part.
He said he had known Mrs. Bradley for
20 years, and that when he had met her
on the street in Salt Like City In June
or July. 1906. she told him she was mak
ing her own living by keeping a rooming
house. "I asked her If Senator Brown was not
putting up for her expenses and she re
plied that he was only paying for her
what he felt like paying. She said she
didn't want his money, but wanted Brown
himself, and if he did not acknowledge
the parentage of her second boy she'd kill
him. I advised her against that course,
adding that the children were sufficiently
handicapped by the fact that she was the
mistress of the man and that she should
not commit the crime of murder: but she
persisted and declared she would shoot
him."
Mr. Kelly said he advised Mrs. Bradley
to take the money if Brown refused to
keep his contract to marry her. He was
cross-examined hy Judge Powers, who
had not before taken active part In the
proceedings.
Carried Pistol In Muff.
James H. Rowan, of Salt Lake City,
who was employed as a watchman at
Mr. Brown's residence, told of a scene
created by Mrs. Bradley In November,
190.r', when she tried to gain admission
to Mr. Brown's house. He said she car
ried a pistol In her muff. He said that
two nights afterward he found the
woman In Brown's back yard, when
she t-ld him that she had got the gun
for Mr. Brown, but that If any one In
terfered he would get "the same that
Mr. Brown would get," adding, "I am a
virtuous woman." She said then she
wanted to see Mr. Brown through the
window, or hear him, and remained for
five minutes.
Judge Powers questioned this wit
ness minutely In response to prompt
ings from Mrs. Bradley, evidently with
the purpose of showing that he had not
seen a pistol In her possession, but the
man maintained his position. He also
refused to" admit that Mrs. Bradley had
said that tho reason why she wanted
to hear the Senator's voice was because
she loved him. In reply to questions
from Mr. Powers the witness saltl that
on the occasion of Mrs. Bradley's visit
she had to throw a number of stones
against the house, saying that she
wanted to annoy Brown all she could,
"so that he would have a pleasant
night's rest."
Would Drive Brown Crazy.
SWie then told tho witness that she
was a poor woman and that Brown
was the father of two of her children.
She added that she had Brown about
crazy and would soon have him In an
Insane asylum.
"I replied," said the witness, "that If
he did not behave Brown would have her
In the police station, whereupon she said:
They will never get me In JsJi: They flW
riven
put me in an asylum, but If they do I'll
get out." "
The last witness called for the prosecu
tion was Max Brown, son of the former
Senator. He was called merely for Iden
tifying the victim of the tragedy.
When Mr. Brown left the stand the
Government rested.
Mr. Hoover, of Mrs. Bradley's coun
sel, after outlining the defense,
sketched the nine yeare' association of
the two, and said:
Wrongs Suffered From Brown.
"We will show that she told her
physician that with his own hands Ar
thur Brown had performed more than
one abortion on Mrs. Bradley, and that
as late as the Spring of 1906 he had
made another effort to have her re
lieved of a 7-months-old child, which
was born only to die."
Mr. Hoover also declared that Mrs.
Bradley was suffering from the effects
of a miscarriage at the time of the kill
ing of Brown on December 8. 1906. It
wouM also be shown, he said, that two
aunts of Mrs. Bradley have been insane
and tiiat the Insanity of one of them, a
Mrs. Shrewsbury, had homicidal tenden
cies; also that after Brown had wormed
himself Into Mrs. Bradley's affections
he had her so ostracised that she could
not go to her family, and maintained a
complete domination over her. Brown,
he declared, held her as his slave and
she was utterly dependent upon him. Mr.
Hoover declared that Brown had incited
Mrs. Bradley to procure a divorce after
the divorce of his own wife, promising to
marry her. "We will show you that by
reason of his treatment of her the wo
man was absolutely crazy."
Recognized Boys as His.
He then proceeded to give the names
of witnesses, including Mr. Henderson, a
law partner of Brown, who had sev
ered partnership with Brown because of
the latter's treatment of Mrs. Bradley.
Moreover, it would be shown, said Mr.
Hoover, that Brown had recognized the
paternity of her boys, and that t-he was
in constant communication with him.
Mr. Hoover said that Brown s private
secretary had furnished Mrs. Bradley
with 20O to take her to California, and
that Instead of going there she had
come to Washington. She had not pre
viously known that Brown had come to
Washington, Mr. Hoover said, and had
changed her plan and had come to Wash
ington with the purpose of persuading
Brown to legitimatize the children
by marrying her. Mr. Hoover con
tended that there had been no premedi
tation In the killing, but that Mrs. Brad
ley had become much depressed when
upon first entering Brown's room at 9
o'clock on December 8, she picked up
and read a letter from a woman making
an assignation in New York.
Says Brown Hushed at Her.
"We will show," he continued, "that
when, that afternoon, Mrs. Bradley en
tered the room Mr. Brown was pale and
agitated and asked her what she was
doing there.
" T have come here,' she replied, 'to
see if you will not do what you should
do for my children.'
"He said that he would not, and
rushed upon her with curses. When
he rushed at her, she fired the revolver,
but whether once or twice she does
not remember. Not until she heard the
sound of the shots did she awaken
from her dazed condition."
Mr. Hoover said it would be shown
that Brown had bought the pistol with
which he was killed and had given it
to Mrs. Bradley, telling her to use It
on Mrs. Brown if she bothered her.
Court then adjourned until Monday.

WALSH CLAIMS
Tf BATH
Because Raiircad's Books
Were Used to Obtain
Evidence.
LAWYERS WILL ARGUE IT
Running Fire of Objection Causes
Judge to Bring Question to Issue.
Whole Library of Books Is
Taken to the Court.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15. A long-drawn-out
argument between opposing counsel. In
which the court, took part from time to
time, over what is regarded as prac
tically a plea for Immunity, because the
books of the defendant had been used In
the Federal grand jury investigation of
his affairs, consumed the afternoon ses
sion of court In the trial of John R.
Walsh, on a charge of having misappro
priated funds of the bank with which he
was associated. The question of immu
nity was not settled when adjournment
until Monday morning was taken. Judge
Anderson announcing that he would re
serve his decision until later.
Basis of Immunity Plea.
The immunity plea was based upon the
fact that the books of the Southern In
diana Railway Company were used as
evidence by the Federal grand jury in
its examination, which resulted In the In
dictment of Mr. Walsh, and were about
to be used by the Government in the
present trial. The books were being ex
amined and entries in them read by Na
tional Bank Examiner H. P. Moxey un
der a steady fire of objections from the
other side, when the court Interrupted
with the statement that no headway was
being made.
"Let the Jury be excluaed," be said,
"and we will settle this question right
now."
John S. Miller, of counsel for Mr.
Walsh, declared that he was not ready
to meet the Issue, and It Is expected that
he will be given an opportunity on Mon
day to cite authorities in support of his
contention.
Many Books In Evidence.
The early part of the day was occupied
by the identification of the books of the
Chicago National Bank. Ex-Cashier
Jackson, of the bank, was on the stand
and he named the books as they were
presented to him. There were about 600
of them In court, and the Identification
process was tedious and slow. Account
books of various other institutions In
which Mr. Walsh was interested were
identified by witnesses.
When all these had been rrrarked as ex
hibits, Mr. Moxey produced an alleged
memorandum note signed January 1, 1904,
due June X, 1904, for $92,000. Witness
showed that the collateral for this note
was a bond of the Illinois Southern Rail
road for $100,000. The collateral was re
moved, according to the books, June 1,
by J. S. Wilder.
