BRADLEY GETS
mot GUILTY" VERDICT
Defendant Will Return to
Home in Salt Lake.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
(Special) THE jury in the case of
Mrs. Ann Bradley brought in YER
dict of not guilty at 9 o'clock this
morning. One juror held out for
conviction, but he was at last brought
around to views of his fellow jury
men.
Affecting scenes took place in the
court room when the verdict was
announced, Mrs. Bradley going into
tears and Mysteries. She will return
to her home in Salt Lake City.
She was tried for the killing OF
Ex-senator Brown, of Utah. Her
defense was insanity due to the re-
fusual of the dead man to marry her
as he had agreed and to criminal OPP
erations which he had performed.

JOINER WAS TRIED ON
CHARGE OF FORGERY
Insurance Man Before A
Jury.

L. G. Joiner will serve a term on
the chaingang, or as an alternative
spend six months in Jail or pay a
fine not exceeding 81 1000, in the dis
erection of the court, as the result of
his trial in the superior court yester-
day afternoon upon the charge of
forgery
The jury, at $3.50 o'clock last night,
rendered verdict of guilty, but rec
commended a misdemeanor punish
ment for the crime.
The recommendation alone saved
Joiner from a worse sentence.
Joiner heard the verdict with the
same indifference which marked his
demeanor throughout the trial.
Judge Littlejohn will pass sentence
upon him this morning, quite likely,
and his fate will then be definitely
known
Unless Joiner is demented, as his
counsel vainly attempted to show, he
did some really. excellent acting
throughout the trial yesterday. With
hair disheveled, unshayen and I'M
tidy withal, his appearance was that
of a crazy man, to say the least.

trader as he was three or four weeks
ago could distinguish between right
and wrong, so found him guilty.
And the alleged forged notes were
in evidence to aid the jury in arriv-
ing at this conclusion.
So an attempt was made to prove
Joiner mentally irresponsible. This
had been done successfully before,
but this jury could not see it that
way
The defendant had, in 1904, been
committed to the asylum from Lowd-
mes county During his residence of
six or eight months in Americas,
however this fact was unknown, and
he was regarded as d very astute bus
mess man.
Joiner, as the local agent of the
Pacific Mutual Life Co. was arrested
here a month ago upon forgery
charge. that Of duplicating note

IT Is NOT NEW, SURE.

The Descret News, tho church organ,
makes no objection to our criticism of
tho latest declaration from tho first
presidency of the Mormon church,
which the conference was trapped into
sustaining without examination, debate,
or understanding, except TO say that
we were wrong in saying that the same
is new. Well we confess that there is
a musty flavor about it which deprives
the stuff of newness, and yet as new
formulation Of vapid contradictories, as
the just-adopted brief in the case of
Precept VS., Deed and Theory VS.. Prac-
tice, 1t is new in time at least. 1t is
certainly newly given out In this fresh
form.
AS IL self confession of contradiction
between word and deed an arraignment
of practice at the bar Of precept, this
new declaration is unique. IL is plea
not only that acts must not be pleaded
when theories can be presented, but it
is claim that preccpt alone counts. 1t
is also powerful plea for permits
sion TO attach such meaning to Il word
or phrase as the church casuists may
desire, without regard TO its actual
meaning. In this it is fit precursor of
Elder Roberts S pleas yesterday after
noon that the church is not bound by
definitions, by logic, or by reason in the
Interpretation of its doctrines and priu-
ciples. All Of which is an excellent
summing up of the position Of church
which processes adherence 10 law and
reverence for divine command, but
which sustains'' as its head and as
prophet, seer, and revelator to all the
world y man who openly and avow-
edly scorns and violates the laws of
the land, and who says under his sol
emn obligation as witness that he
obcys or disobeys the direct commands
of God, at his own will and pleasure
Such a position would be an intolera-
BILE one for real church; but for an
assemblago of Smith worshipers, who
care nothing for God or man, it is en-
tircly appropriate.
Surely the earnest. sincere Mormons
do not yet realize the depths of de-
pravity of the position into which the
craft, guile, and lawlessness Of their
spokesmen have sunk them

all rightful authority in the church;
and this il certainly ought to do; and
more, they should be communicated
from its membership. They have cut Off
their brethren for things that were but
pin-point compared with the large
blot of rebellion against God and his
commands that they themselves openly
confess In refusing to cut these men
of, the church brands itself with in

But we all know that they will neith
or be cut off nor deposed We all know
that they will impose themselves fiXedly

are. We all know that the declaration
Of the inseparable unity of priesthood
and people that is carried in this dec
laration was put there for n purpose,
and that IL rivcts anew the chains
that bind the mass to the 50 sustaining y
and the service Of the class. 1T was not
put there for the people, but to protect
the leaders in their awful blasphemies
and transgressions, and to forcstall any
objection that might be made to them
as prophets, seers, and revelators. As
such, it is of a piece with the tricks
and the double-dealing which the sell
fish and self-seeking priests constantly
practice. And this is a double trickcry
and duplicity; for it makes the church
at large a partner and co-worker in the
duplicity, deception, and the lawlessness
of its leaders, and that this at the very
time it is crying out against duplicity
and misrepresentation.
