Woman Will Return to Salk Lake City, Where She Says Everyone Knows Both Sides of the Tragedy of Her Life. Washington, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Annie M. Bradley free! This is the meaning of the verdict of "'Not Guilty" just returned by the 12 men who for days have listen ed in the jury box to the pitiful story of her relations with any slaying of iformer Senator Arthur Bro+wn, of Utah. Almost a year to the day from the moment she walked into, the Raleigh hotel, December 8th last, and the tragedy was enacted, she breaths once more the air of freedom, of vin dication and comparative happiness. She has been discharged by the court, there being no charge against her and she is told to go and "sin no more." The moment was one for which she has longed for a year; it is one she will remember to eternity, for it holds her before the world as Sblameless for the deed committed in desperation when, after years of pleading, the man who w'ronged her family refused to give a name to her helpless children. .An Impressive Scene. Never has there been in a Wash ington court room a scene to -equal that attending the returning of this verdict. Neve'r, perhaps, has any court of justice ever furnished an ex hibition of such dramatic intensity, such graphic heart interest, so replete .with pathos and withal so happy in its denouncment as that witnessed -when Annie M. Bradley heard the words that vindicated her. Life or Death.. . Slowly, melhodically. with eyes set1 straight before them. the 12 jurymen filed in and took their seats for the last time-mcssengers of life 01 death for the prisoner at the bar. Falter ingly, his hand trembling as he rea lized the import of its hidden mes sage, Foreman Fenry handed to the clerk of court a bit of paper. TPOn it the words that depended the life of the woman--the central figure in that breathless throng. The stillness was that of death. The spectators. 'some in sympathy, some in morbid curiosity, 'sat with bated breath. *Attorneys, accustomed to similar 'senes, paled and turned their faces way from the little prisoner, court tendants shifted uneasily, and in er nervousness rapped for quiet en there was aught but quiet. pon the bench sat Justice Staf ~d, his classic face the' emibodi nt of kindness, sympathy, and yet and justice. A Pathetic Picture. Before 'him, her form bent, her ce pallid, her bosom heaving, sat e central figure in one of the most mial dramas ever portrayed upon .e's great stage. It was as the agile figure of Annie M. Bradley. V the woman of the halcyon days. en she charmed with her brilliant ellect and captivated with her uty-but the Annie Bradley of av. a woman aged before her time, rinking. pitiful, desolate shadow er former self. last, the little acts of court ality were over.

Plans for the Future. When asked about the plans fo: the future she, first said: "Why, I have not thought abou what I should do. The present seem ed so appallingly absorbed that I ha< hardly looled ahead.

But the strength came, al though at times it was hard-oh, si terribly hard. I shall go back ti Salt Lake-back to the place and tha people that know me,'' said Mrs Bradley. "It will be so much easier wher everyone knows, than staying here or going to some strange place wher; only one side of the story has bee) told. Amen to Them All.
