Special to the Herald
Washington D C Nov 11 Crim-
inal court No 1 of the District of Co-
lumbia was filled to overflowing with
spectators among whom were numer
ous women when Justice Stafford
took his seat on the bench this morn-
Ing and the bailiff rapped for order
The presence of the crowd of Idle on
lookers was due to the fact that the
first case on the docket was that of
Mrs Annie M Bradley whose trial
for murder In connection with the
death of former Senator Arthur M
Brown of Utah last December will
Undoubtedly be the staple of conver-
sation in Washington for some weeks
to come An eminent array of coun
sel for both sides were on hand ready
to proceed with the famous case
Judge Powers of Utah appeared as
principal counsel for the defense as-
sisted by Attorney Geo P Hover of
this city Assistant District Attorney
Glvens with several assistants was
on hand to conduct the prosecution
No murder case here in years none
in fact since the famous murder trial
of Mrs Beaunisne nearly a decade
ago has excited such deep interest as
has been excited by the trial that has
now commenced The wealth and
prominence of the victim and the dou-
ble romance of his life are responsi-
ble in a large measure for the public
Interest in the case The dragging in
of the name of Mrs Annie Adams
mother of Maud Adams the actress
has also whetted the public appetite
for further details of the case Mrs
Adams is expected to be one of the
principal witneses She has told
friends that she is anxious to testify
if for no other reason than to clear
the name of the dead Senator to
whom it is said she was engaged She
admitted as much when she came hero
to jffMJjejipdv f the Senator after
by his children for burial It is said
that Mrs Bradley first learned of the
engagement between the Senator and
Mrs Adams a few days before the
killing
It Is now nearly a year since the
tragedy occurred in the Hotel Ral-
eigh where the Senator was shot In
his apartments by Mrs Bradley af-
ter a stormy Interview At the Emer-
gency Hospital where he lingered be-
tween life and death for several days
Senator Brown steadfastly refused to
talk and refused all the Importuni-
ties of the police to make a statement
of the affair
When she was taken Into custody
Mrs Bradley declared that she was
justified In doing what she did and
that all Utah knew the cause of the
tragedy She said Senator Brown was
the father of her two children Arthur
Brown Jr seven years old and
Montgomery Brown three years old
and that he refused to marry her de-
spite his repeated promlbes
The Senator has been cenBured be-
cause of a clause In his will which ex
pressly denied any claim on the part
of the Bradley children to his name or
his property John S Rollo stenog
Tapher of the state supreme court at
Salt Lake City declared after the
tragedy that Brown dictated to him a
petition for adoption a decree con-
ferring on the two boys Browns
name and an equal share In his for-
tune and a contract by which Mrs
Bradley was to accept a home for life
and waive her demands for marriage
Mr Rollo says he learned afterward
that Mrs Bradley refused to sign the
papers and that they had been de-
stroyed
Senator Browns relations with
Mrs Bradley had extended over many
years and were one of the causes
that led to the separation from his

first wife Senator Brown came to
Washington early last December on
business He regibtered at the Hotel
Raleigh Mrs Bradley followed him
a few days later and registered at
the same hotel She was assigned to
a room on the baine floor Late In
the afternoon of her arrival after
learning which was the bcnalors
room she went to It and rapped
After a short conversation cries of
the wounded man brought the hotel
employes to the room
Mrs Bradley admitted she had shot
the senator and declared she be-
lieved she was jusitfled in doing so
She denied that she had come to
Washington for the purpose of kill-
ing the senator
Mrs Bradley clainib to have found
letters in Senator Browns apartment
showing that he had an appointment
to meet Mrs Adams In New York
Whether this entered as a motive in
the tragedy will not be known until
the evidence Is brought out at the
trial although at the time of the mur-
der Mrs Adams expressed deep sym-
pathy for Mrs Bradley and declared
that if only she could have met her
before the tragedy she might have
helped to prevent It
