END OF BRADLEY TRIAL IN SIGHT Outlook for Acquittal Not: So Bright NOT INSANITY, PASSION Alienists Who Testify For the Prose cutioa Say the Womnn- Wits In duced by Jealous Huge to Kill Sen ator Brown, and That the Tragedy Was Not Dec to Insanity at the Time. Argument Will Probably Hog In Xext Monday Verdict Probably on '.Anniversary of the Deed. ' (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington,-Nov, 29 Tho story of the trial of Mrs. Bradley so. fur as told from the witness stand, drew to its end today. When court opened, after the. Thanksgiving recess, there remained to be called by the gov ernment In rebuttal only a few minor witnesses and the expert alienists. The government reached the cli max of its case with the testimony of lis alienists. Dr. Edward Brush, of Baltimore, and Dr. Smith E. Jellyfte, of New York.'- These men who have been watching closely the develop ment of the case, hold as their opin ion that Mrs. Bradley's impulse to the shooting was not insanity, but a fit of jealous rage. The final arguments to the jury will be begun the first of next weak. These will take. several days, as five of the six attorneys on both sides of the case will speak. District Attor ney Baker will close for the govern ment, and Judge Powers for the de fense. If there is no delay in reach ing a verdict Mrs. Bradley will prob ably hear her fate on December 4, exactly one year from the date on which she left Salt Lae City, coming to Washington on what proved to be n tragic errand. Mrs. Bradley's Thanksgiving day was spent in the jail. She arose at the usual time and expressed her gratification that she would be able to have a day of rest, as the constant attendance upon. .the. sessions of the court has been very wearing upon her. Early in the day she was given favorablo news concerning the con dition of one of her bous, who is suf fering from an attack of croup in this city. The hoy is stopping In a boarding house with his grandmother not far from the court house in which the mother is being tried. Today's Court Proceedings. (Bv THKODOBK II. Tl 1.1.101!.) Washington, Nov. 29. Dr. Ed ward M. Brush, of Baltimore, was tho first alienist called by the gov ernment. He qualified as an expert in the usual manner, by giving his medical experience, naming the members of the medical societies of which he is a member, and slating that for sixteen years ho had been superintendent of tho Shepard-Pratt Asylum near Baltimore. lie had at different times been connected, he said, with the state asylum at Utlca, N. Y., with about 600 patients and as visiting physician to the women's department of the West Philadelphia Asylum. He said that he had also! written a number of articles on in sanity and nervous diseases. Mr. Baker roviewed the evidence as contained in the long hypotheti cal question which embraces every relevant act connected with the re latlonashlp between- Mrs. Bradley and Senator Brown and those imme diately preceding and following the tragedy in the Raleigh. Q. Assuming all these things to be true, Dr. Brush, and assuming also that the evidence you have heard here by government witnesses as to the person's actions before and after the shooting, to bbe true, what would you say as to whether this person was sane or Insane at tho time of tho fatal shot? A. I have no reason to think that sho was otherwise than sane at the time of the fatal shot, and so far ns I can. draw conclusions from the evi dence she was sane at this time. , Q. Please give your reasons for arriving at these conclusions. A. We have here a person thirty five years old who received a blow upon the lead when four years old. She was confined to her bed possibly three or four weeks. We find her suffering from headaches after this, which, however, " disappeared (Continued on Pngo Five.) Rt BANK THIEVES STILL AT WORK Valuable Papers Stolen From on I3JU0 NOTE IS HISSING Itecords nnd Negotiable Paper Pur loined From the Kffects of the De funct' I5orou;-!i Rank of Brooklyn. The Work is Attributed to Some of the Former Olliclals of the Bank Who Hud 'Motives for Get ting Certain Kvidcnce Destroyed. (By Leased Wire to Tho rimes.) Now York, Nov. 29. The start ling" fact has been d'-sclosed by Dis trict Attorney Elder of Kings coun ty, thut a raid was made at night on the defunct Borough Bank of Brooklyn, and an important bundle of incriminating papers stolen. : Among the records that, have dis appeared are panes ripped from ledgers,-, notes that had been discounted, pages from note books and data showing interest payments on ficti tious notes. A note for 513,000 borrowed by Senator Patrick H. McCarren cannot be found and it is supposed to be among the missing papers. I . News of this sensational develop-, mont In the Borough , Bank scandal i accounts for the halt In the, grand j jury Investigation last Monday. Can-1 tain Kuhne, head of the Brooklyn s detective bureau, has had a force of men at work ever since trying to lo cate the missing papers and identify the men who engineered tho raid. The work is attributed to former officials of the bank. Not only was tne McCarren note carried off, but checks Involving a number of other well-known men in deals with the looted bank were made away with as well as the book known in bank ing circles as the "tickler."' Tho "tickler" is a small index to tho loan book- tho key to the latter, in fact and coincident with its disappearance it has been discovered that page af ter page of the loan book itself has been ripped out and carried off. The disappearance of these rec ords will have the effect of shielding a large group of politicians and others, it 13 feaid, whoso dealings with the bank had not yet been taken up by tho grand jury. It was understood today that the police expect soon to locate the stolen records and identify the men re-j sponsible for tho theft, in which event there will be more arrests and additional- indictments. , Fresh details concerning the bank are constantly coming to light. It has been learned, for instance, that on October 24, the day before tho ! bank closed, largo withdrawals were mado by William S. Hurley, vice president and one of the active man agers of the institutions, and by Richard J. Cuddihy, a big depositor in tho hank,- The assertion is also made that other officials of the bank were given warning of tho impend ing crash in time to get out most of their funds beforo the explosion. Portions of tho confessions made by officials of the Borough Bank re veal the names of at least seven more men whom District Attorney Elder expect to indict. It took nearly three weeks of day and night work to got complete knowledge,, of all irregularities and misdoings, listing tho notes these men were directly or Indirectly re sponsible for and in preparing and having executed the deeds, assign ments, etc., by which the bank got ownership of the properties worth upward of $700,000, which fully se cured the bank against loss. Campbell, in his confession, do- Iclarcs that a loss of 10,700 on European drafts brought by Maxwell and Campbell from "Plnckney Mor ris" was covered up by notes in blank obtained from E. F. Shutter and filled in by Campbell, Fictitious notes wcro put Into the bank In hte names of S. C. Hughes, $3,003; O. J. Phillips, $3,000; John Harrlgan, $4,600; II. A. Lyons, $5,000. Two days before the Borough Bank failed Campbell put In notes in the nsme of himself, J. J. Cun ningham and others, aggregating $55,007. Death of Mrs. P. IJalley. Mrs. P.
