THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TVIWDAV. NOVEMBElt 1 INSANITY WILL BE MRS. BRADLEY'S PLEA BEFOREJU, COURT Her Two Little Boys Will Be Mute Witnesses in Trial. r By THEO.DORE H. TILLER. Washington, Nov.-12.—Realising ful ly the Importance of the great battle w hich la to. begtn .tomorrow, wlj^n Mr*. Annie M. Bradley la to be placed on trial, charged with the murder of for mer Senator Brown, of. Utah, In this city last December, both prosecution and defense, are putting In the day quietly familiarising themselves with tlnal details of the mass of testimony to be .offered. Several Sail Lake City witnesses ar lived In Washington yesterday. Among tltese is Max Brown, son of tjie dead senator. In the same party arc D. II. Wenger. James Rowan. Archibald Liv ingstone and A. If. Kelly. Since Insanity and not the unwritten law is to be the plea, her counsel are debating whether or not the frail. Ut ile woman will mount the stand. • Regardless of this element of the i rial, however, there Is to be a silent story told which, after all. may decide the fate of the woman at the bar. This is the mute testimony of two little hoys who are to be by their mother's side during her darkest hour, and to whom she will point and say: "These are his children. It was to give them a name, which he promised and yet never bestowed, that I took his life." Won’t Interfere With Counsel. Mrs. Bradley Is quite content to leave entirely to her counsel the selection of the twelve men upon whom Is to de pend her fate. There Is no disposition on her part to domtnato In this matter. Indeed tt is extretpely Improbable that she will express a preference one way or another for any one of the Jury. It Is especially recalled that In the Thaw trial the young millionaire In sisted that he should be Consulted In every Instance nn'd ho Juror was se lected unless Thaw personally approved of his personal appearance, his eves and other minor details. According to Mrs. Bradley's attorneys, a Juror with eyes of blue or gray will he Juft ns acceptable as one With brown. Veniremen are Elderly. In this connection, however,Itl* sig nificant to note that the majority of the original panel of twenty-six Jurors summoned lo Ihe'present ease are men well along In years. Seven of the.num- ber are over 60 years of nge, seven are In the forties and but one .prospective Juror Is under 20 years. Although it. la possible that not more than’ one Juror should be selected m»t uf this entire lot, It Is believed, accord, ing to the present Intention of attor neys on both sides, that the selection of a jury will not consume more than one of two. days df. court. No Delay in Trial. •In order, however, that there should i>e no unnecessary delay In the selec tion of the all-lmfiortant twelve men,' }0o additional'.talesmen are being sum moned today and will report to the court tomorrow, ninking a total of 126. "She has never tried to dictate In sny of the details of the heating and the preparation for It," said Attorney Hoover, “and there will be no senseless dismissal of a competent Juror on ac count of prejudice existing In the mjnd of the defendant against that certain type cf man as has been the cue on other trials. We expect to employ only the usual examination and to proceed with the selection of the Jury as rapldly ns possible."
