JURY TO HAVE
CASE TONIGHT
Closing Arguments Heard in
Bradley Trial
COURT ROOM WAS CROWDED
UDGE POWERS DECLARED THERE
is NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
TO WARRANT VERDICT
OF GUILTY..

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2.-The
final arguments in the Bradley case are
being heard by the jury today who, be-
fore night, will hold in their hands the
life of the defendant. Judge Powers,
chief counsel of the defense, a veteran
of over three score murder trials, is
making a wonderful appeal to the jury
to liberate the slayer of Senator Brown.
The defendant herself, dressed in
black and unusually paie, sat in her
chair throughout the entire day and
followed her attorneys with rapt in
terest. The court room was crowded
to suffocation. Hundreds were turned
away. This is despite the fact that in
the nations capitol building congress
was assembling for the sixtieth session.
Attorney George Hoover, in behalf
of the defense, resumed the closing ar
guments in the Bradley case this morn
ing. He was followed by Judge Orlan-
do Powers, who said: 'Wher you adj
to the defendants character the pre-
sumption of her innocence and that
the government has not proved its
case beyond a reasonable doubt, l say
no candid man can say a verdict of
guilty is justified
He then referred to the defendants
love for Senator Brown and declared
that she would have made a good wife
if united to the man she loved
Powers Was Eloquent.
Judge Powers painted a pretty pict-
ure of love declaring that all women,
like /the defendant, failed to reason
when in love. Like Trilby to Svengali,
she murmurel, he declared, whittier
thou art, there l will GO" Powers eff

fell with great effect ana at times the
defendant and many in the audience
were visibly effected. THE govern

she leave Brown? The government for

except to the master who had placed

MAKE THE MOST
OF THE BARGAIN
DIVORCE is BUT THE REFUGE OF
COWARCS, SAYS REV.
REID IN HIS SERMON.

In the First Presbyterian church last
night, Rev. James Clement Reid
delivered the third in his Sc
ries of sermons on courtship,
marriage and divorce. The subject last
night was How to Make the Most of a
Bad Bargain" The subject was treated
in broad and liberal sense and the
discussion was extended to all mar
riages and not devoted exclusively to
marriages that do not turn out well.
In part Rev. Reid said
1.-THE flight to divorce courts for re-
notion that to be free in body is to be
free in mind, but too late, the di-
vorcees find this not to be the case.
Good common sense would often bring
about much better results. Just as
when you make a purchase and find
you have been sold, you make the
best of it, so SHOULD you when you find
you have been sold in marriage. No
two persons are just alike in DISPOSE
ton and all are likely to have differ
fences, but it would be much better TO
divorce court with your troubles. AS
business proposition you would do
that way. Marriage is a partnership,
and would you ever think of telling
your business partner he could have
nothing to say in the way the affairs
of the firm were to be run? Certainly
you would no.. Men and Women must
live together in partnership; there
must be two in the firm.
IF your husband or wife is not
all you expected, would it not be bet
ter to devote your life to making him
or her so, than get rid of the one
you have pledged yourself to love, as
quickly as possible? Few people but
that feel at some time they have mar
ried the wrong person, but if the no
ton is. put down instead of being fos-
tered. little frouble will result Divorce
is the refuge of towards. The whole af-
fair which is about to wreck the home
foreveN may be merely the result of
misunderstanding. which could be
easily cleared up if tact and skill were
used to overcome the trouble"
