MRS. BRADLEY is
GIVEN FREEDOM
ExoNERATED OF THE CHARGE OF
MURDER TO-DAY.
END OF A SENSATIONAL CASE
The Jury, Which Retired Yesterday
Afternoon, Returned Verdict
of Acquittai Shortly After
10 This Morning.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3.-Shortly
before eleven O'Clock today, Mrs. An
ma M. Bradley, accused of the murder
of Senator Brown, of Utah, walked
from the court room a free woman
The jury which retired late yesterday
afternoon returned verdict of &C.
quittal at 1907 this morning.
Only two ballots were taken by the
jury. The first stood eleven to one
for acquittal. The second, taken at
midnight, was unanimous for acquittal.
Not the slightest hint that the jury
had reached a verdict came until the
usual hour for converting court this
morning.
julius A. Prigg, a bookkeeper and
the Oldest juror, voted against acquit-
tai on the first ballot. Great cheers
greeted the verdict when it was read
in court. Women spectators jumped
to their feet, applauding and waving
handkerchiefs. The defendant hurried
from the court house to an auto and
was taken to the home of Mrs. hayes,
a friend The crowd cheered as the
auto started.
Woman's Intention Debated.
A new point brought out in the argu-
ment bore on Mrs. Bradley's inten-
lions when she started on the inter-
rupted trip from Salt Lake to Ogden
en- route to Los Angeles. The govern
ment contended that the fact that on
arrival here she called at hotel for
her mail indicated that when she left
Salt Lake the last time, which was
the projected Los Angeles trip, she
really purposed coming here to see
Brown. The court permitted the de-
tense to refute this by quoting from
the evidence to show that after Mrs.
Bradley started on that trip she
changed her mind, stopped at Ogden,
telephoned her sister at Salt Lake
that she had decided to go to Wash
ington and then proceeded here.
Judge StaffoEd's Charge.
Judge Stafford occupied 50 minutes
in charging the jury. The charge
among other things set forth that a
person is mentally responsible in law
when he is capable of understanding
the physical nature of his act las for
instance the defendant, if found
guilty, must have been capable Of I'M
derstanding she was shooting Brown /,
of understanding whether the act is
right or wrong; and must be capable
of controlling his action and Of choos-
ing the right and refraining from the
wrong. Mental incapacity must be
the result of mental disease. The law
distinguishes sharply between disease
and mere passion.
IF one," said the court, 'is kindled
by rage, jealousy or revenge of any
other passion so he Tor she) cannot
understand what he is doing, or that
it is wrong, or cannot resist his i'm
pulse to crafty his passion, it may re-
duce the grade Of his offense, but
does not constitute insanity. The the
DRY of emotional insanity or irresist-
ible impulse is utterly rejected by the
law of this jurisdiction. If there is
reasonable doubt about the defend.
ants responsibility, there is reason
able doubt about her guilt and the
law declares that she shall be acquit-
ted" asa.

Former United States Senator
Henry G. Davis. of West Virginia,
democratic candidate for yice-presi-
dent in 1904, is still of the opinion
that Judge Gray. of Delaware, would
make the best democratic candidate
for president next year. Senator
Davis favors Judge Gray on the ground
that he is a conservative man of great
experience and ability and candi-
date whom all factions could support.

AROUND THE CIRCUIT.

Abba Republican: There is fellow
over near Oskaloosa who thinks just
about as much of his hounds as does
George Hobson, The hounds were OF
the coon.hunting variety and one
night while the owner was trying to
locate possum, a coon, or some.
thing else, neighbor came out and
shot one of the dogs dead and crippled
another He would not pay for the
dog so the owner brought suit in court
and asked for damages in the sum OF
800. The case was started in 1904
and was only settled last week when
the jury gave the owner the sum of
S1.50. But the costs in the case
amounted to more than all the dogs in
Abba are worth and Hobson thinks his
dogs are worth considerable.

Washington Democrat: The report
is that the branch passenger train from

those people will have only the Firefiy
to depend on. The morning passen-
ger has run since the road was built
and those towns along the branch will
certainly have kick coming if that
is done. The company says the train
does not pay. Is this politics? Are
the roads getting back at the people
for adverse legislation? Our advice is
that if that is what it means that they
go slow or they viii breed scab on
the end of their nose, Knoxville and
Sigourney and Keota and Oskaloosa
and Washington ought to get to work
with petitions to be sent to Chicago
protesting against the annulment OF
the train. We hear Knoxville is al

DUTY OF NEWSPAPERS.

ne DAILY PreSS mas received from
one OF It's oldest and most esteemed
subscribers Il letter in which the
writer protests against this paper de-
voting SO much space to the Thaw
trial. The Daily Press is very glad
to receive ut any ana all times com.
municatlons from It's friends, whether
they be of praise or criticism, MS II
makes us seem all the closer to our
readers and Is an evidence that they
take an interest In our work The
letter In question was not of the kick
Ing kind, but manly protest against
what the writer seems to think was
wrong. He speaks of the usual clean
moral tone of Tho Daily Press and
then expresses surprise that the pa
per has published what he terms
filth"
Perhaps 1t would be well at this
time to explain the position of The
Daily Press relative to the Thaw
trial. II is given prominence aud
space because it is the one burning
story OF the hour. 1t is what the
people want there is absolutely no
Question about that, and if The Daily
Press did not give to its readers what
they desire, whether 1t be the Thaw
trial or every detail Of n prize fight.
1t would fail in it's mission as Il
newspaper. There is no question but
that some of the details of the Thaw
trial are filth aud some OF the de.
velopmonts to come will undoubtedly
be oven still worse, and If paper
publishes them il is because tho cdi-
tor knows 1t to be n positive fact that
it is what the reader desires above
all other things. II Is not particu.
larry inspiring example Of the high
tastes of the people, but the cold hard
fact has to be faced that today the
most casual observer will readily see
that in public place nine tenths
OF the people are reading or talking
the Thaw trial. a newspaper that fail.
cd to cater TO that sentiment would
have to 30 RELOCATED to the weekly
Sunday school publication list or some
other periodical of that class. Incl
dentally The Daily Press wants to
say that its stories of the Thaw trial
have been the cleancst published in
the State of Virginia. Many of the
worst and most revolving paragraphs
have been expurged from tho columns
of this paper, but they have been pub.
lished In others.

nature that seem to be inherent. 1t

with these things as they are 1t is
human and natural that such trial
as that which Is now taking place in

attention. Newspapers and pulpit or.
ators may write and preach against
it, but human nature is greater than
either and you cannot help it. Dis,
gushing truly. but what are you going
to do about it? Tho criticism Of the
newspapers for going into ali the do
tails of the Thaw case has been very
general. Well. If they are not print

cease to be newspapers. That's all
about that. A newspaper is daily
