Assistant District Attor-
ney Draws Vivid
Picture.
Asks the Twelve Men to
Compare Sisters With
Mrs. Brown.
Prisoner Sits With Eyes
Shut and Head
Down.

Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley today col.
lapsed under the strain under which
size has suffered since her trial for
the murder Of former Senator Arthur
Brown Of Utah began, and when she
reached her room in the lower cor
ridOr of the court house at the end
of the session today il was necessary
for attendants to administer restOra-
tiVes. It Ves some time before she
was able to return to the Jail.
Overcome by the long strain to
which he has been subjected, AssiS-
tant District Attorney Charles A.
| Turner was attacked with a fainting
spell during the course Of his address
to the jury today, which began the
Governments side of the argument
in the case against Mrs. Annie M.
Bradley.
Justice Stafford suspended court
for a few moments, during which
time Mr.. Turner and District Attor-
ney Baker retired to the witness
room. They returned to the court
room a few minutes later, and Mr..
Turner resumed his argument,
which was concluded without fur
ther interruption at u :o8 O'Clock.
Robert Wells then outlined the
case of the defense, and the causes
upon which it will base its hopes for
an acquittal. During his opening re-
marks he referred to the fainting at
tack Mr.. Turner had in court, and
drew the jlIry's attention to the hard
ships borne by the little defendant
during the course Of the trial.
Hardest Ordeal of TusI.
Mrs. Bradley had the hardest or
deal to face which has yet confront
ed her in the trial, and the scathing
arraignment of Mr.. Turner was
more than she could bear. She
kept her face covered with one
hand, and not once during the two
hours the Assistant District At
torney was speaking did she raise
her head. 1t was only when his
concluding words were spoken that
she realized the ordeal was over
and looked up as Mr.. Wells took his
place in front of the jury box.
The courtroom was crowded this
morning. In anticipation of seeing
the final fight made for the life of
Mrs. Bradley, women crowded 10 the
courtroom doors and begged for
admission. Every available space
was filed with chairs in order to
accommodate the throng, and every
eye was fixed on the prisoner as she
sat downcast and alone.
Held Her Up as Unprincipled.
When Mr.. Turner began, and for the
first hour of his speech there was little
to create a feeling OF antlgonism against
the defendant. But as he proceeded he
held her up to the world as a woman
without principle, without respect for
her own home ties or those OF others
and without the innate devotion to the
ideals of motherhood which. he said.
were the dearest in life. and the ones
which all men held sacred. He revisNyed
the testimony of witnesses for the
prosecution. and reminded the Jury how
each and every one OF them had de-
clared that Mrs. Bradley had givel. no
indication Of insanity and asked them
to rerlanber how she had appeared on
the staaI.
did rou ever see a more brilliant
mind than that2" he asked. Did you
ever see a brighter ir.eliect?"
Mr.. Turner reminded the Jury tha- the
defense for the murder would be in
sanity, and brought back to their minds
how she hal remembered certain things
logically on the stand, and concluded by
saying:
''If that's the way insaait leaves tho
brain. God send us ali insanity" He
declared that MIS- Bradley had her
self outlined the insanity defense before
she left SALT Lake City, because when
she had been admonished to cease
! throwing stones at Arthur Browns win
dows one night by tho Watchman at the
place and told that she would get her
self In the station house, she had said
to him:
