Washington, Dec. 4.-"Not guilty" was the verdict rendered Tuesday by the jury in the case of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, charged with the murder O. former United States Senator Arthur M Brown of Utah, at hotel In this city on December 8 last. Amid tha applause of crowd that filled the courtroom, Mrs. Bradley. with tear. dimmed eyes, was discharged from custody and trial that has evoked national attention during the past weeks was at an end.
 Throughout it's deliberations the jury, into whose hands the case waS delivered by Justice Stafford at AT o'clock Monday afternoon, practically stood at II to for acquittal until tho final ballot, when the lone juror, who was holding out for some form of punishment, Juror Julius H. Prigg, gave in and the verdict of acquittal was agreed on.
 Justice Stafford admonished those present to avoid any demonstration. Meantime the jury waited to deliver its verdict, Foreman James F. Fleeney nervously clutching in his hand the document that meant so much to the frail and nerve-wrecked woman in the prisoners chair
 Gentlemen of the jury" asked the clerk, have you reached a verdict?"
 "We have" answered the foreman.
 What is your verdict; is the de- fendant guilty or not guilty?"
 Every person In the courtroom, from judge to spectator, almost breathlessly awaited the answer.
 Not guilty" replied the foreman, and mot guilty echoed everyone of the jurors. For a moment, in the tensoness of the excitement, not a word could be heard, then the sus- pense was over and a murmuring "thank-God" from group of women who sat on the front bench was heard through the courtroom and was the signal for a demonstration.
 The prisoner, who had arrived at her cell in the city hall--a dark. ill., ventilated room directly under the criminal court-an hour before and remained there with her eldest son. Arthur, until just before court con. vened, sat directly back of Attorney Hoover, her counsel She was dressed in black and with suppressed excite ment watched the jury. There were tears in her eyes but she bore up bravely. Immediately after the jury delivered its verdict the court thanked the jury for the manner in which it had performed its duty and the jury in turn. through its foreman, ex- pressed to the court and counsel its thanks for the consideration and cour- tesy shown them. The jury was then discharged and Mrs. Bradley was re- leased from custody. She was imme- diately surrounded by men and women from among the spectators who pressed upon her their congratula- tions. She returned to the cell from which she had come to hear the yer dict and there she received a few wis itors. She thanked them for their con gratuiations and expressed her relief at the conclusion of her trial. Mean time an automobile was waiting at a siJe door and through lane of curl ous spectators she was escorted to the car, where, joined by her counsel and several women friends. smiling and lowing to them as they called to her, she left the court house. The party returned shortly afterward but re- msIped outside the building only a
