When She Hears Letter
Read to the Jury.

Prisoner Write Damaging State
ment, to Relatives While Con
fined In Idaho Penitentiary.
Darrow Begins All Over.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 21.-A special
to the Spokesman-Review from Rath
drum. Idaho, says:
The most dramatic incident connected
with the trial of Steve Adams, on trial
here fpr the murder of Fred Tyler,, was
the introduction of two letters by James
H. Hawley, counsel for the State, this
afternoon. The defense objected to their
being read to the jury, but Judge W oods
declared them properly identified.
Durlpg the reading of the first letter.
Mrs. Adams arose from beside her hus
band and left the room in tears. She did
not return for an hour. Adams turned
marble white and waB motionless. His
attorneys were jionpulsed. The letters
were not Introduced in evidence at the
Wallace trial from the fact that it was
t.ot known that a copy of them had been
kept. Warden Whitney, of the Boise pen
itentiary, found them soon afterward.
They were written between the time
Adams confessed and signed the confes
sions. Clarence Dnrrow. Adams' counsel,
when the letters appeared, set his jaw
and went to work again as if it were the
first dav of the trial instead of what was
supposed to be the last for taking tes
timony. betters Admit His Guilt.
The letters were written by Adams
while In the Idaho penitentiary to Mr.
and Mrs. Oliver, an aunt and uncle, and
to his brother, W. T Adams. Their gen
eral tenor is disclosed in the following
extract:
I wwm glad to har nf your belipf in my
Inrorenre I wish to Ood that I was. but
I fell in with had company and was led to
commit a number of most vile alas, breaking
tht- law of both man and God. Had I stayed
with my church and with the raining of my
poor parents, who are. I believe. In heaven.
( would be a tree man today. But I allowed
tnyeelr to be led into sin most damnable. I
fcm going U try to undo what I have done,
fcnd sin no more.
Each side has introduced its instruc
tions, the state asking, as before, for
'murder In either first or second degree
Dr manslaughter. The defense has
changed a few of Us suggestions.
Anxious to End the Trial.
Judge Woods wants to finish the ar
guments by Saturday and will convene
court at n o'clock tomorrow when R. E.
McFarland and Henry P. Knight, for the
state, have agreed to consume two hours,
each. McBeo and Heitman take the
same time for the defense. Mr. Darrow
and Mr. Hawley say they may not con
sume more time than three hours
apiece. But Judge Wood said he would
not limit them. There will be a night
session tomorrow night. The state closed
Its rebuttal today, but the defense may
have a little sur-rebuttal In the morning.
After that the ' arguments will take up
the time.

astonished." she said with some show of
regret.
In another letter written in May, 1903.
Mrs. Bradley wrote:
I mm wondering if you are trus to me.
are you? 1 so want to feel your arms
.round me and hear your loving words. Are
you asking for divorce? if not. when will
you begin? I am sewing every day and pray
ing with every breath that our troubles may
soon end
She closed by declaring that she and
the Senator were "'linked closer than the
church could link tliem."
Her Feelings When Found Out.
Judge Powers asked her how she felt
when she became aware that her rela
tions with Brown had got to the ears of
Mrs. Brown.
"I wanted to go away immediately,"
the witness said. "I was begging him to
send me away."
"Had he said anything to you on the
ubject of what you should do or say in
the event of his wife talking with you?"
"He immediately sent a messenger to
me. I threatened to go. and he sent
word to me instantly not to say anything
and to deny everything."
A letter of 1902 written from the Idaho
farm was quoted at length. Mrs. Bradley
closed It by asserting that the disgrace
ghe and Brown had brought on them
selves would leave a scar on her life, and
said she would give half, the pleasure
she expected to obtain through a proper
life with Brown to efface the humilla
Ing past. Little tokens of friendship were
exchanged between her and Mrs. Brown,
Mrs. Bradley said, and added with a
touch of sadness:
"When Arthur was a baby, Mrs. Brown
gave him three little dresses. To Martha
she gave two pairs of silk stockings and
Some ribbon and lace and other little
things."
She then spiritedly replied in answer to
Judge Powers, that she "never In any
manner, shape or form" received any
support from Mrs. Brown for herself or
children. Once the Senator deeded a
piece of real estate to her, but she deeded
It back voluntarily. After brief cross-examination
Mrs. Bradley was excused.
Dot-tor Corroborates Her.
This afternoon Mrs. Bradley's Salt
Lake physician. Dr. E. W. Whitney, was
Introduced to corroborate Mrs. Bradley's
statements concerning criminal opera
tions performed on her and to testify
about her health during her Intlmacqy
with Brown. The doctor said Mrs. Brad
ley first visited t . office in 1902 and
that Brown accompanied her. When Mr.
Powers sought to bring out the conver
sation between himself and Senator
Brown. Mr. Baker objected. The objec
tion was sustained, and the witness was
excused for the time being.
Brown's 1ote Letters.
Brown's love letters to Mrs. Bradley,
made public today, show the strength
of his infatuation. Mingled with extrav
agant protestations of love and expres
sions of desire to make her his wife, are
reproaches for receiving attentions from
Ather men. including uncles and cousins
at Los Angeles and one whom he calls
a "damned traveling man." He says their
quarrels only make them love the more.
He made a will, containing provision for
her and the boys, and sent it to her to
take care of. She destroyed it, and he
reproached her for so doing. He ex
pressed I. ope of getting a divorce and
FAVORS MORE SILVER COINS
.Solomon R. Guggenheim Suggests
Remedy for Stringency.
SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. 21. A larger
use of silver i oinp is advocated by Solo
mon R. Guggenheim, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the American Smelt
ing & Refining Gempany, as a measure
of financial relief. In an interview with
local papers today. Mr. Guggenheim said:
"Since coming West I have found a
strong sentiment in favor of the Govern
ment helping out the real money strin
gency by the purchase of liberal quanti
ties of the white metal and coining into
dollars. It is believed that $50,000,000
worth of it might be bought and so used
to the best Interests of the entire coun
try. Around present prices that would
pfovlde nearly tl00.000.000 of new real
money and the Government would hardly
miss the amount of gold It would need to
pay out for the metal.
"The population of this country has
grown so fast and the requirements of
trade have expanded to such r degree
that more metallic money has come to
be a necessity. Conditions are different
today from what the were when there
was so much prejudice against the
white metal. When silver advocates
were demanding the coinage of silver with
gold and on a basis of 16 to 1, silver was
being produced at about the ratio of 23
ounces to one of gold. Since then the
production of gold has increased at such
a rate that the ratio Is now only elgnt
ounces of silver to one of go.-.
"I believe the country is ready for an
enlarged use of silver as money, but it
Is hardly likely that it would take kindly
to a free coinage proposition. It would
be more likely to agreu to use more of the
metal in the same way France is doing."
ROMANCE ENDS IN JAIL
Seattle Man Accused of Stealing
Wife and Money.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 21. (Spe
cial.) Amid sordid surroundings an
elopement that a few months ago
astonished an exclusive Berkeley, Cal.,
set, culminated at the police station.
Mrs. Anita Morton, wife of Dr. Harry
R. Morton, a wealthy and respected
dentist of Oakland, and P. F. Roller, a
Seattle city sanitary Inspector, are the
principal actors In the case.
Roller Is now wanted. It is said, by
the police for grand larceny committed
In San Francisco. The woman's ar
rest resulted from a direct charge made
by him. Last March the two left Oak
land, where Dr. Morton had his office,
after Roller is alleged to have stolen
$20.) from the man whose wife he in
duced to leave her home and friends.
The family home was at Berkeley.
Tearful and repentant, the woman Is
now held by the police. Her husband
is willing to take care of her and there
may yet be a reconciliation. He no
longer wishes to call her wife. The
couple came here last March and have
lived here much of the time since as
man and wife.
STREETCARSJCAUSE RIOTS
Small Disturbances in Louisville
Result From Strike.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 21. Several
disturbances, two of them developing
Into riots, broke out tonight in widely
separated quarters of Louisville as a re

DRYDOCKS FOR THE NAVY
Recommended in Report of Rear
Admiral Holladay.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Addltlonal
drydocks for the Navy are most urgently
needed, according to the annual report
of Rear-Admiral R. C. Holllday, Chief
of the Bureau of Yards and Docks of
the Navy.
It is again urged that steps be taken
for the establishment of a first-class dry
dock at Pearl Harbor. Hawaiian Islands,
where the necessary land has been ac
quired. This harbor is the nearest porf
to Honolulu, but Is vastly superior for
naval purposes. The proposed dock will
cost $2,000,000.
The estimates for the various yards In
clude the following:
Naval station at Cavite. $59,700-, Naval

The Woeful Reflections of a Withered
Dyspeptic.
No substitute for good nature has yet
been found. Smiles take root In the
stomach. Without good digestion there
never can be very much sunshine, for the
very simple reason that the stomach and
the brain are twins, and what affects one
Invariably affects the other. The adage
that the best road to a person's heart la
via the stomach, still holds good.
Gorged grub and pappy pie always
breed gloom and sleepless nights.
They also breed dyspepsia, quick dys
pepsia, and dyspepsia shows itself in a
Is This You?
variety of ways belching, burning sensa
tion, an empty feeling In the stomach,
bloating after eating, brash, aversion to
food, fermentation, or downright Indiges
tion. There are few diseases which create
such misery long drawn out misery as
dyspepsia. It pursues you before meals,
after meals, and between meals; you
take it to bed with you; It is with you at
the theater and at your desk.
What is the only way to get rid of It?
You don't have to stop eating, you
don't have to diet. Just take something
that will do the work of the stomach
and let the stomach take a rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most
wonderful little tablets on earth for this
very thing.
In plain arithmetic, one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets equals one good strong
stomach for one time for one good hearty
meal. One Ingredient of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets will digest perfectly 3000
grains of food In Just the same way that
a strong, robust, healthy stomach would
do it.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets enrich and
fnchease the gastric Juice in your stom
ach, and that is mostly what you need
more and better gastric juice. And It
gives the stomach a rest, a good long
rest. In the meantime it cures the dys
pepsia, and all other stomach troubles.
Just a few of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will prove to you what these little
cherubs of health and hnppiness can do.

Gompers Repeats Charge
Against Brandenburg.
ATTEMPT TO BRIBE MADE
President of Federation Cites Evi
dence That Brandenburg Repre
sented Manufacturers and Van
Cleave Waited to Meet Him.
NORFOLK. Va., Nov. 21. At today's
session of the Federation of Labor, Pres
ident Gompers, with Vice-President
O'Connell In the chair, replied to the de
nials sent from New York last night by
Broughton Brandenburg, who declared
that he was the man referred to by Mr.
Gompers in the latter' s charges of an at
tempt to bribe Mr. Gompers, and denied
that he had made such an attempt to
bribe, also that he. had any connection
with the National Association of Manu
facturers. Mr. Gompers said:
I want to call your attention to the fact
that, if Brandenburg destred only to con
sult me about a publication, why was it
necessary for him so persistently to urge me
to see him In private? Why was it neces
sarv for him to assume a false name? Why
so much secrecy? Why did he. In bis letter
to ursre that I come at once to New York,
use tthe language he did, saying it was
necessary for me to come' at once "as mat
ters were coming to a crisis"? Why could
there have been such a crisis between two
men who had only a passing acquaintance,
if only a publication were involved? If there
was ao attempt to bribe, upon what other
basis did he hope that I was going to aban
don my life's work ?
Had Warrants Ready to Pay.
All the circumstances link by link show
that it was Brandenburg who came to me
as a representative of the National Manufac
turers' Association, even disregarding the
statement that he himself told me directly
that he represented this association, whose
purpose was to attack and destroy and
bribe the men of labor in order to strike at
the organisations themselves.
Why was it necessary for him to reas
sure me that he represented the Manufac
turers Association, coming to me with war
rants Issued by the Century Syndicate, an
auxiliary of the National Manufacturers' As
sociation, the marks of the latter appearing
in no lest than two instances on the war
rants presented, the Initials in one Instance
and the full name of the Manufacturers'
Association spelled out in the other. These
warrants were eight inches long and four
or five inches wide, such as are used in ordi
nary business houses to safeguard money
transactions.
Van Cleave Was Waiting.
Immediately after my speech yesterday I
was informed by Delegate Jerome Jones
that about the time I told of having re
ceived letters from Brandenburg urging that
I go to Edgefield. 8. C, for a conference.
Delegate Jones saw Mr. Van Cleave, the
president of the Manufacturers Association,
and another man in close proximity to Edge
field. I am willing to stand before the dele
gates, the rank and file of labor and the
general public for them to judge the mean
ing of this man's great secretlveness, the
mystery which he threw around the whole
affair and the documents proaucea by me.
