Colonel Gentry BURNING LOVE FROM SENATOR Continued from Page One, packed nnd jammed the court room who did not realize that during this hour Mr*. Bradley waa emptying the cup of bitterness to Its very dregs, but there was none who could apprcclnte Just what each letter and Ite memo ries meant to the rid little figure In this sad, sordid drama from real. life. 8enetor Reed Bible, After eliciting from Mrs. Bradley that the letters and telegrams Intro duced by no means represented all exchanged between herself and Brown. Judge Powers took up the thread of testimony where It had been dropped yesterday afternoon, concerning the In cident* of the last few days before Brown started on his last journey , Jbcn Mr*. Bradley told In a discour aged little voice of a visit to the sen ator's office when he agreed to see her and talk things over. This was a few days later. •’lie talked to me," ehe said. "He talked of everything except the thing I wanted him to talk of. He read poetry to me, read the Bible, talked or every subject except this. Then, after a while, he became angry and said that quarreled. I told him that he had de- cclved me: that he had deceived every , one: that I Intended to tell his son Max . how he had deceived him and his mother, nnd me. “Alwsye Tomorrow." “Afterwards 1 went to his office on Saturday night. I told him that I was going away; that I could not stand It any longer; that I knew that he did not Intend to do anything for me; that ; I would go away eomewhere and start all over again." Mrs. Bradley said that after leaving the senator’s office she went to her ho- t tel nnd that the text day the senator came to see her. Again he did not tell her definitely what he was to do.

Nearing Day of Tragedy, At times he would promise to give me what I needed to go Into business and then again he would change com pletely. I asked him if he would give inc 3350 cash and obtain 3350 credit for me, and he said, "Why. yes, you can get 31,000 If you want It.' Lator lie said he was not going to do anything, and I just did not know which way to turn or what to do.” Mrs. Bradley then detailed her Illness and suffering on December I, Just eight days before the tragedy, stating that ahe was very III. both mentally and physically. Judge Powers, as lie neared the day of the tragedy, grew very de liberate In his questions and almost unconsciously brought Mrs. Bradley up ; to the time when she reached Ogden on I the way to Los Angeles and turned . back Instead to Washington. She told of exchanging the ticket and begin ning the Journey to Washington, where ahe knew that tha senator hud pre ceded her. Sick and Disconsolate.
