" (By. Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washiiigtoa.Nov. 21. The third
day of Mrs. Bradley's ordeal on the
stand began this morning under a1
leaden sky. The court room was as
dark and gloomy within as the wo
man's soul, whosee agony was being
shown forth.
She looked better physically, how
ever, than she has any day since the
trial began and her voice was clear
and musical and 'was clearly heard
In the rear of the big room.
Her cheeks were flushed and she
held her head proudly In answer to
the degrading questions asked her
by the district attorney. Such ques
tions that Bear the heart and stagger
the finer feelings of the spectators.
But the little woman In black bore
it all bravely. Today District Attor
ney Baker's guns were brought
against every shred of her defence.
Skilfully he made her declare the se
cret facts of their life together.
Women shuddered and men averted
their eyes as she pitifully told of
her own degradation.
. The district attorney finished his
cross-examination before recess, and
the defense then put the rest of Its
witnesses on the stand In Mrs. Brad
ly's interests.
Pistol Given Her to Protect Herself
From Mrs. Brown.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, D. C, Nov, 21. Her
discouraged, appealing features por
traying pitifully the effects of her
two days upon the witness stand, and
her beseeching glance toward her at
torneys denoting that she realized
that today she was to be questioned
not by friends but by a duty bound
prosecutor, Mrs. Annie M. Bradley
walked unsteadily to the witness
stand to conclude a story that has
taken three days in its telling.
She expected a gruelling cross-examination;
she expected the Inmost
I secrets of her liaison with Senator
Brown for the long years before she
shot him would be laid bare by tho
searching probe of the district attor
ney and his assistants. She had been
told that today she faced perhaps the
hardest experience, in her life and she
: went to the stand resignedly, help
lessly and yet hopefully that some
how sho would acquit herself In a
manner that would bring her both
liberty and life.
Prosecuting Attorney Kind to Wlt
' lies.
The ordeal was shorter than Mrs.
Bradley expected, for at 11:25 Dis
trict Attorney Baker settled back in
his chair and announced that he had
completed his examination of the lit
tle woman and a glad smile of re
lief, almost gratitude, overspread her
, face." .''..
And th-. district attorney, even in
. the discharge of his duty, was in one
: sense, of the word, kind to Mrs. Brad
, ley. There was none of that domi-
,, peering spirit shown, no browbeating,
no insinuations that the pale defend
ant before him was not' telling the
truth. He went over the sad tale
told by Mrs. Bradley on her direct
examination, picked what to him
seemed to be a flaw hero and there,
and questioned her about It, but there
was no brutality, no harassing, be it
said to Mr, Baker's credit, shown in
the cross-examination. At all times
he was respectful, yet insistent, duty
hound, yet conservative; loyal in his
desire to vindicate the law and con
vict tho defendant, but never unralnd-
mimvmr.
hum mc 1 1 icuiict
fill of the fact that it was n woman
before him; a woman who had suf
fered much, had lived and -loved
much; had erred and yet was a wo
man still. And this attitude perhaps
will help Mr, Baker's cause more with
the twelve men who sit in judgment
than if he had taken Mrs. Bradley In
hand, tossed her about on a sea of
ridicule and hurled her against her
already storm-beaten mind and body
a torrent of abuso and brutally ex
pressed disbelief. For .this is the
penchant . of some attorneys, and it
argued well for his cause and for his
manhood that District Attorney Baker
is not of that sort, for the woman had
for many years had enough of this,
and better natures would have revolt
ed at a recurrence of it today.
Life On the Senator's Farm.
Mr. Baker first began to examine
Airs. Bradley with regard to her life
ou Senator Brown's farm,' bringing
out nothing especially new or detri
mental to the defendant. Next he
came to that period in her life when
she and Brown had been arrested on
account of their relations, and to his i
questions as to how many times the
pair had suffered arrest, she replied,
wearily, "Oh, three or four times. I
don't remember exactly."
Next he questioned her as to the
visit of the Rev; David Utter to her
while she was living at the senator's
farm, at which time he had tried to
persuade her to leave the senator.
I want to explain something here,
judge," Mrs. Bradley interposed.
"Mr. Utter had been sent by Mrs.
Brown, and then sho and a friend
went to the senator and told him that
I had planned to go with Rev. Utter
on a fishing trip. The senator called
me up over ih& telephone and raved
and told me" never to speak to him
again. Then I went up to Salt Lake
to see him, and when I explained the
true situation he was so sorry that
he had abused me and told me to go
on hack to the farm and stay there
again."
Q. When did you last talk with
Rev. Mr. Utter?
A. About two years ago.
Q. And did you not, in speaking
of your relations with Brown on that
occasion tell Rev. Mr. Utter that you
intended to make Senator Brown mar
ry you, and he asked you, "How,"
and did you not say to him, "Arthur
Brc ivn is a coward at heart, and u
he refuses to marry me I will press
a revolver against his head and tell
him that I will kill if he does not?"
A. I did not.
Senator Said Mrs. Bwwn Might Kill
Her. . -
Mrs. Bradley was then questioned
about a conference which was held at
Pocatello between herself, Mr.
Brown and a Mr. ChrJstensen. Dur
ing this long conference she said that
her recollection was that Mrs. Brown
had agreed to comromlse and said
that they would get a divorce if the
senator would give her (Mrs. Brown)
the Brigham street house and Max
Brown the'farm.
"I said, 'Do it, do it.' "
Then the next day I understood
that the senator gave you a pistol.
Why did you take that pistol?
A. Oh, the senator said that I
had better take it. That Mrs. Brown
was a very vicious woman and would
stop at nothing, and that I might need
it to defend myself. I nearly always
carried it in my satchel after that, for
he Insisted that I should.
Q. Did you not carry It for Mrs.
Brown?
A. No, I did not fear Mrs. Brown
l never sought Mrs. Brown, I never
InCerferrcd with Mrs. Brown.
U. Were no men b names meu -
tloned during that conversation?
Brown Insanely Jealous,
A. Oh, there might have been.
Men's names were mentioned per
haps a thousand times by Senator
Brown. He was so Insanely jealous
all the time. He would become furi
ous at times and was the most Jeal
ouB person in the world.
Q. I show exhibit 33, a letter
written you, say in the early summer
of 1901. In this letter you say "In
stead of wasting breath on Schroe
der, Evans, McGuire, the priest and
anybody else, we should sip life's
sweetest nectar from each other." I
will ask - you what you mean by
that?
A. I do not think I need explain
that. .'
Q. Do you remember the time that
you struck Senator Brown with an
umbrella during a quarrel and
knocked out some- of his teeth? the
