MORE EXPERTS DECLARE MRS. BRADLEY TO BE SANE l!y Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Xov. 2D. When Alra. Bradley canlc Into court she looked about curiously, appearing to tako special Interest In-terest in nptlng tho large number of women present. Formerly sho tins entered en-tered tho room with downcast eyes and made her way to her chair without noticing no-ticing any ono. Bet'oro the trial was begun be-gun littlo Arthur Brown, Mrs. Bradley's sou. was brought to tho court house lo sec bis mother. On the opening of court District Atlor-noy Atlor-noy Baker .submitted the prayers of the prosecution to tho court, saying they did not. cover the points of number In the first or second degrees, and that ho would prefer leaving the matter to be covered by tho Judge in the Instructions lo the Jury. The prayers of the defense will be submitted later. Tho Government's prayers are as follows: fol-lows: "1. The Jury arc. Instructed that a sane person has no right to. kill another, no uintier how much he may have been wronged by another, no matter how much reason the person doing the killing may have for hating and despising that poison, poi-son, no matter how wild may he tho auger au-ger and passion under wliU;li the person '"Hi- Vijf'lfibrfrji: ,,L"!iw.'lujy -dons njltTce-ognixe njltTce-ognixe the theory that any person may havo uu irresistible impulso to do suei an an a that unlets the impulse Is the produet of a diseased mind. "Tile Jury are further informed none of the evidence offered lending to show the treatment of this defendant by Arthur Brown can be considered by tlicm to Justify, excuse or palliate her act. Morbid Passion Not Insanity. "2. Tho jury are instructed as a matter mat-ter of law. that Insanity, as an excuse for a criminal act. is a disease Of thai organ of the human body wherein reside the faeuitlos of Intellect and of volition the. brain andlhal a morbid slate of the affections or passions or an unsettling unset-tling of the moral system, tho mental faculties remaining meanwhile In a normal nor-mal condition, is not such a form of Insanity In-sanity that tho law rueognlzos as a valid excuse for a criminal act. "Z. The Jury are instructed, as a matter mat-ter of law, that If they Mud from thecvi-dence, thecvi-dence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that up lo tho time of committing the crime charged in- the Indictment Ihe defendant was "kano. and shah further llnri beyond a reasonable doubt that Immediately tbeie-aftor tbeie-aftor the defendant was sano, then It Is strong presumption that the defendant was sane at ihe time of the commission of the crime charged In tho Indictment. "I. The Jury are Instructed that nil evidence of the mistreatment of the defendant de-fendant by Arthur Brown, whether by word or aci. whether testified by the defendant de-fendant or other witness was admlted solclv as bearing on the sanity or Insan-It Insan-It v of Ihe defendant at the time of the shooting and Ir. not to be considered by the Jury in any other way. Ti. The Jury are instructed that If thov helleve from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that tho defendant threatened and menaced the deceased with a loaded pistol for the purpose of compelling him to marry, or lor anj other purpose and while so lliivalcnlnp and menacing the deieosed said pistol was unintentionally or accidentally discharged dis-charged and tho deceased received therefrom there-from the wound nf which he died, the jury should tlnd the defendant guilty of manslaughter." Physician Resumes Staud. Dr. D. K. Shutc. who began hl5 testl-monv testl-monv 'Wednesday, resumed tho stand, and 'on cross-examination rolloraled 'his statement that in his opinion Mrs. Brad-lev Brad-lev was not Insane. The defense sought u" contradict the witness by a previous statement made to them that Mrs. Bradley Brad-ley was not mentally responsible, but on objection by the Government the iues-tlon iues-tlon was altered, and Dr. Miute said bis later opinion was based on his personal obseravtlon or the defendant. Ktlward McLean, son of John B. Mclean, Mc-lean, of this city ami Cincinnati, who was reporter on a local newspaper In December De-cember last, saw Mrs. BradMy after sho shot. Senator Brown, but noticed no hlng about her to suggest that she was insane. She was rational and talked coliuiently. She did not appear apeelaliy pale or un- uaov 'navld UUw. pastor of the Unitarian Unitar-ian church at Denver. Colo., who was In Salt Lake niy In November. ;.; chancing pulpH with a minister of that nla "e was called lo the atund and asked ! to teVtlfy concerning a conversation he ! had with Mrs. Bradlej. lie said ho wont to the defendant becaupo of her trouble. The defense objected to ih; reception cf hiu testimony on the ground that If he was ; called to contradict th defendant s testimony the Government would have to submit specific statements to nlm and could not examine him concerning his talk with Mrs. Bradley. Avoided Watching Defendant. The court culled counsel on both sides to the bench and iMr u lon- t-Ktifercnc with th'Mii the ntl.irn-jys retired to an onle-room for a further conference. During Dur-ing the Intermission In tm- procee.dlngs Mrs. Bradley Instantly eyed J3i. Ltter, who avoided 'ooklng 't hflr. When counsel returned. Dr. litter was placed nn the ntnnd and 'In Mjily jo a mieatlon, ihl that on the necoiijlon of the 'conversation Mrs. Bradley ;told him she believed Mr. Brown would ;n,arry her. "1 expressed, tie opinion." said the wit- Coii'liuued on .Pago Bight. If ATE OF MRS. BRADLEY TO REST WITH JURY MONDAY I Continued from P.ipfo One. iCF9, "that ho never would. Bui fcho thought that ho would. This was a somewhat, some-what, lonff conversation and tho burden of It hnd been, on my part, to encourago her to sh'O up tho Idea or marrying Arthur Arth-ur Brown. T said that a. woman was at a groat disadvantage in suing for the love of a man and that she would fail to accomplish ac-complish her object, when .she- wns anxious anx-ious for a marriage On all grounds I tirged nor to give up what .she waa attempting, at-tempting, but she pleaded for hot- children, chil-dren, saying It w:us right and he ought to bo mndo to do it."' Dining this testimony Mrs. Bradley I lowered her head. Said Brown Was Coward. "She said." continued the witness, "that when it came to a test and a pun was pointed ai Arthur Brown he would accede and marry her. I don't remember her exact words, She said Arthur Brown was a coward at heart and If a gun was pointed at him and he was told he must marry her he would do so. I told her 1 did not believe- Arthur Brown was a coward. , , , "I said ho ought never to be urged. There should "be no compulsion ever used. 'You will lose all your inlluence if you (1"Vhat did sho say lo that?" naked Judge Powers. "I don't remember exactly. "Xow, did not you sav to her in tUn course of that conversation, 'you would do that, would you?' And sue rcpucu. 'of course not?' " "Yes," said Dr. Utter. "J said 'sup-nose 'sup-nose he calls your bluff, what then?. Would you shoot?' 'Oh, no,' was her answer." Dr. Utter said she did not threaten to do this herself. "It might have boon her brother, or hor father, or anybody, who was to bring about this compulsion." the witness added. add-ed. He, however, had the Idea that Mrs. Bradley herself would do it. "She was under a tremendous obsesston," continued contin-ued Dr. Utter; "was almost unhinged; and I felt that she might undertake to threaten Brown." versed freely, and Mrs. Bradley ovldont-ly ovldont-ly felt that Dr. Utter's testimony hail not hurt her, smiling at something ho said. Dr. ldward M. Brush, an oxpert in insanity in-sanity cases and editor of the Amorlc.an Journal of Insanity. testUled ho had observed ob-served the defendant In court for ten days. Dr. Brush said he could find no reason rea-son for believing that tho dofondant waa Insane. lie regarded her as sane. ' lie did not consider hPr headaches In early life a Indicating insanity, and the fact that thoy had not continued satisfied satis-fied him that they had arisen because of some organic trouble. .Liic uhjw on iiur iiuuu uuu occurred at loo remote a time to bo connected with any Insanity In hor in 130-1 or 11)05. Dr. Brush gave it as his opinion that the Illegal operation and tho .subsequent sepsis wore not severe enough to seriously seri-ously injure Mrs. Bradley's hoalth. The occurrence of sepsis in connection with such operations was not unusual. Mrs. Bradley's deacrlptlon of the shooting, as suited In the hypothetical question, was read to the witness, who wild: Not Consistent With Insanity. "Tho whole thing Is not consistent with any form of insanity." Dr. Brush could see in the appearance of Mrs. Bradloy after tho shooting, as described by reporters, nothing to indicate indi-cate she .was Insane at tho time. He-marks He-marks made by tho defendant after the murder, and several other circumstances, he declared, showed she was sane. IIo could llnd In the hypothetical question ques-tion no condition on tho part of Mrs. Bradley Indicating puorpural Insanity, which, ho said, continues from several weeks to sevoral months. He could llnd no evidence or general infection. The conditions under which Mrs. Bradley Brad-ley testified to having an Illegal operation opera-tion porformcd In 11)05. on Saturday, then being out on tho following Monday, he said, indicated that If she had had sepsis sep-sis at all at that time the nttack was extremely light. The family history of the defendant, showing insanity, was called to the attention at-tention of tho witness. Ilo said tho history his-tory of the defendant was not sufil-clcnt sufil-clcnt to show that she was especially liable li-able to insanity. The history of one aunt, showing epileptic Insanity, and tho Insanity In-sanity of another aunt, he said, was not necessarily horeditary. Judge Powers quest lonod Dr. Brush to bring out that he had been summoned sum-moned here, and would bo paid by the government for his services. Dr. Brush said ho would have testlllcd that Mrs. Bradley was Insano when she shot Senator Sena-tor Brown If he had thought so. Another Expert Heard. Dr. Jelllffe. an alienist of Now York, was called to the stand. A spectator. eager to see what was going on, arose. "Bo seated." commanded Justice Stafford. Staf-ford. "This Is not a show," ho declared, "it is not a theater." Counsel for the government read I he hypothetical question to the witness, alter alt-er which Dr. Jelllffe said that, assuming assum-ing the statement of facts to bo true, he believed Mrs. Bradley was sane when sho shot Senator Brown. "There are no evidences that sho was insane, either direct or implied," said Dr. Jolllffe. "On the contrary, there are abundant signs that, she wis rational and coherent throughout the whole period pe-riod covered in and about the time of , tho act." j He ndmittejl that the evidence did show a short period of acute delirium, an infection, in-fection, when Mrs. Bradley had a premature pre-mature birth. It was a transitory, delirious de-lirious state, such as one might have from inllucnr.a. pneumonia, typhoid fovcr, or any acute disease of that nature. "From your understanding of the history his-tory of this case, were thore any evidences evi-dences of puerperal Insanity?" asked the District Attorney. "There Is absolutely no evidence of pucrperul Insanity," Dr. Jellilfc replied. Coming to the subject of toxic insanity, Dr. Jelllffe omphaMcally stated that In his opinion, Mrs. Bradloy did not have toxic insanity when she shot Senator Brown. Tho wringing of her hands and her dazed condition which had been testified to were symptoms which nccompany toxic Insanity, but standing alono they were not significant. People who are simply angry make such demonstrations. Dr. Jellitfe could not see in the evidence evi-dence any relationship between the collateral col-lateral Insanity and Mrs. Bradley so far as hereditary Insanity was concerned. As to tho blow on the head received by Mrs. Bradley when a child. Dr. Jelllffe Jel-llffe Eald that Incident was too remote as a factor of Insanity to be considered. Dr. Jelllffe corroborated a statement-of Dr. Brush that in the torn letters he found no evidence of insanity. Mrs. Bradley paid close attention lo tho testimony of the alienists. Sho seemed to be in good spirits. Rev. Dr. David Utter sat beside her the entire day. Dr. Jelllffe said lie had been railed hero by the Government to testify in this case, but ho would have given his opinion that the defendant was Insane as readily as that she is sane had he believed be-lieved so. The Government then rested. The defense submitted to the court its prayers In the case. Mi-s. Henrietta Marshall, a matron at the jail, was called and asked If she knew anything of Mrs. Bradley's condition condi-tion when she was taken there. An objection ob-jection by the District Attorney was sus-, taincd and tho witness dismissed. Mrs. Bradley Recalled. Mrs. Bradley was called to tho stand by her counsel. She was cairn and showed a countenance of great intelligence a she replied to questions. She spoke in low tones. She said she had no recollection recollec-tion of the conversation Rev. David If. rtter testified he had had with her In Salt Iake City In 1905. She said she changed her clothing at the hotel where the shooting occurred, but did not again sec that, which she had discarded until it was discovered In hor satchel. At this point tho defense rested after a long conference between Justlco Stafford Staf-ford and counsel. Tho court announced that arguments will begin tomorrow morning- ATiout four hours will be allowed al-lowed each side. The onening argument for tho Government Govern-ment will bo by Assistant District Attorney Attor-ney Turnoy, who will be followed by Mr. Wells for the defense. Monday, Mr. Hoover for the defense, will open. He will be followed by Judge Powers, also for the defense, the closing plea will be by District Attorney Baker for the Government, Gov-ernment, Justice Stafford immediately will charge the Jury, who will bo given the east about l o'clock Monday afternoon. When court adjourned Mrs. Bradley showed great relief. She smiled at the conclusion of tho proceedings and to a lady who shook her hand as sho passed out she said: "Oh, I am so glad it Is all over at last." |
