Then Mrs. Bradley cried and denied Brown's state ment, saying she and Brown had an un derstanding that Brown was to get a di vorce, and she still believed Brown would keep hi promise. Mr. Henderson said: From One Emotion to Another. "She seemed to be going from one emotion to another. At one time she would wring her hands and at another would appear elated, saying it was 'all right' and that Arthur would do what he had said he would. She said that she had entered on the relationship with the understanding that they should become man and wife." She complained of the fate of her chil dren if Brown did not marry her. say ing: "Or course, everybody will blame me, and he will escape. Right here In Utah 1 have done nothing but what the whole people of Utah have done by Arthur Brown. They trusted him with their best office and I trusted him." "But of course, results are very differ ent." the wattne8s said he remarked. She told Mr. Henderson of Brown's having performed an illegal operation on her. She seemed to be dominated by two absolutely inconsistent emotions, despair and hope. She appeared rational, though very emotional. District Attorney Baker, reading from one of Mis. Bradley's letters about an Interview with the witness the words: "He laid his head on his desk and sobbed." Mr. Henderson said: "That was not at that interview," but admitted he was shocked.

The witness had seen him staggering drunk a few times. He would frequently go into the office intoxicated snd lie down on a lounge. Hl charac ter was erratic, sometimes bad, some times better. When he was drinking It was bad. Referring to Brown's written acknowl edgment of the paternity of the children, Mr. Baker asked: "What would you say? Was he under the Influence of liquor when he wrote that, or not?" "I doVt know." said the witness, fal tering littlr. "He might have. That might have been one thing, and then he n ay have been In the dark. His eye sight was not good, as he suffered from iritis." Brown's temperament, he said, was ec centric to the last degree; he was angry at somebody always, whereat Mrs. Brad ley laughed aloud. Made Idol of Brown. Samuel A.' King was recalled and ques tioned again regardir- Mrs. Bradley's slate of mind during his conversations with rr He said she was extremely agitated and laboring under very great stress of mind. He said that at that time Mrs. Bradley's admiration of Brown amounted to Idolatry. Witness had re garded her as on the verge of mental collapse. "In the conversation with you she was rational, was she not?" asked Mr. Baker. "At times I thought her quite irra tional." replied the witness, adding that Mrs. Bradley had no control of the emo tions. "She was a perfect nervous wreck," he said. Insanity In Family. Lyman Shrewsbury, postmaster at Bonnledoon, Cal., an uncle by marriage of Mrs. Bradley's, testified . that Mrs. Bradley's father is paralyzed; that her grandfather on the mother's side was very eccentric: and that his own wife, who was a sister of Mrs. Bradley's moth er, had been Irrational whenever wor ried.
