followed by Robert Wells, of counsei
for the defendant, who concluded his

argument, broke down with emotion and
the court proceedings were temporarily
suspended. He regained his composure

argument
Mr.. Turner characterized as dangerous
tho woman who considered man not
ier husband more sacred to her than does
the wife herself.
Mr.. Turner said that even horse
doctor could have discerned that Mrs
1sradley when she shot Brown was not
suffering from toxic insanitl.
The assistant district attorney reviewed
the evidence of insanity and declared
that only the most trivial incidents could
te cited to justify such a theory. He
irsisted thta the jury should discard all
thought OF the mistreatment she had
received from Senator Brown as 1t could
have nothing to do with their decision. AS

once followed by Mr. Robert Wells. of
counsel for the defense.
Mr.. Wells spoke with great force and
saying that If Mrs. Bradley had been
sane and wished to kill Arthur Brown
she had thousands of opportunities to
accomplish that purpose and to cover
up her crime.

shot the thing she loved" declared the
attorney In tragic tones, "and she still
loves him to-day"

come that Judge Powers, of her coun-
sci, moved his chair to her side to

quotations from Hawthorne's Scarlet
Letter, and declared that Arthur Brown
himself was as much responsible for
that fatal shot as was Annie Bradley,
because 1t was he who had caused to
be planted within her the fatal dis
case that had resulted in the shot.
& ''WhatsoeVer a man soweth. that also
shall he reap" quoted the attorney as
he took his seat.
