in her behalf, and not I'm behalf of the

Testimony of Prosecution.
There is Kelly. You do not know him.
and ii is not necessary to speak of him
him as you have seen him here upon the
witness stand. and you heard what he
had to say-that this woman said she was
keeping q rOOming house in 1906 when
he had this conversation with her You
heard her story. which is unimpeached,
and which is sustained by others and /
think by Max Brown, that she was in
Ogden at that time; she was living in
Ogden; she was not keeping a rooming
house; she had a child born in March,
and she was living in Ogden at that time,
and later living at Riverdale. Kelly tes-
titled that defendant said that she would
shoot Brown full of holes. Livingston,
who admitted that he told Mrs. Bradley
falsehoOds in Browns interest. said that
she told him that she would blow
Browns head off Such language is for
are not used by this woman. You heard
her language upon the witness stand, and
you know that If she were to make any
threats it would be in entirely different
from saying she would blow his head
Off or shoot him full of hOles'' which
is the language Of a fishwoman.
Take the testimony of Wenger. As
listened to his testimony I thought that
he made a pitiable exhibition of himself
in his efforts to condemn this woman ard
to prejudice you against her. There could
be nothing else in his testimony but an
effort to prejudice you against this wo-
man. when he testified TO the fact that
she went to him to get him to help
break up home. 1t was a pitiable ex-
hibition that he made
And right here I want you to compare
the witnesses VINO spoke for this woman
from Salt Lake City with those who
spoke against her. Compare Judge Hen
derson with Wenger. Put Assistant At
Colonel Kaighn or Major Sam King
against Livingston. Compare the wit
nesses, and their conduct upon the stand
as they appeared here, and tell me which
are most likely to be believed.
Forced to Be Party to Crime.
This defendant suffered sufficiently to
break down any human being. L call
your attention now to the fact that
through the dominating superiority of
Brown, whom she loved, she was forced
to assent and to be a party to crimes
that have a terrible effect upon the hui
man mind. In 1901. 1892 and 1905 she.
with him, was guilty of crime. On Dec. |
|, 1906, the poison which had been in-
jected into her body by those crimes
caused her TO suffer, and this condition !
was the direct result of what had been
done before, according to the testimony |
Of the doctors. How this woman must |
have suffered, this woman who has a 1
mothers love. Her maternal instincts |
were assaulted You remember the tes- |
-imOny of DR.. Whitney, corroborating |
her testimony. Remember that this man |
Brown went with her to a physicians /
office at one time Immediately after an |
upon this. and then tell me whether that |
woman had not suffered enough to over |
throw her mind. Add to the terrible ply |
steal condition that was discovered by |
Dr. Johnson in the spring of 1907, a |
condition which he says must have eX- |
sted for years He found a condition |
existing there sufficient to have over |
thrown the mind of any person, because |
here is an intimate relation between GER |
tain organs of the female body and the |
female mind.
Mr.. Baker-You do not mean to say that |
Dr.. johnson testified that he found some |
hing there that was sufficient to over |
hrOw her mind?
Mr.. Powers-No; but I say il was. |
