Only Afternoon Paper Between Richmond and Atlanta With LAST EDITION. VOLUME 89. SHE'S FREE Bill Mrs. tiraaiey Acqumea Murder This Morning of SHE DREADS THE FUTURE Woman Who Killed Her Illicit Lover, U. 8. Senator Brown, Formally Set .:'' Free By JurySays She is Conscience-Stricken, and Hopeless Lives Only for Her Voung Son and Does Not Even Know Where She is Going to Kcside in Future. Dramatic Scenes in Court. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Dec. 3.-r-Mrs. Annie M. Bradley is free! This is the meaning of the verdict of "not guilty" just returned by the twelve men who for days have lis- i i -- i. i i , i. : ! r . . i leneu ill ine jui; . uua iu l lie jouim story of her relations with and slay ing of former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah. . ' Almost a year to the day from the' moment she walked into the Ral eigh Hotel, December 8th last, and the tragedy was enacted, she breath es once more the air of freedom, of vindication and comparative happi ness. She has been discharged by the court, there is 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 beautiful world as blame less as for the deed committed In ilnciwrflltnn whan ftftot wnra flf pleading, the man who wronged her finally refused to give a name to her helpless children. Never has there been in a Wash ington court a scene to equal that attending the returning of thi3 ver dict. Never, herhaps, has any court of justice ever furnished an exhibi tion of such dramatic inteusity, such graphic heart Interest, so replete with pathos and. withal, happy in its denoument, as that witnessed when Annie M. Bradley heard , the words that vindicated her. Slowly, methodically, with eyes set straight before them, the twelve jurymen filed in and took their seats for the last time messengers of life or death for the prisoner at the bar. Falterlngly, his hand trembling as he realized the import of its hidden message, , Foreman Feeney handed to the clerk of court a bit of paper. Upon the words written there de pended the life of a 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 scenes, paled and turned their faces away from the little prisoner; court attendants shifted uneasily, and in sheer nervousness rapped for quiet when there was nught but quiet. Upon the bench sat Justice Staf ford, his classic face the embodiment of kindness, sympathy and yet law and justice. , Before him, her form bent, her face pallid, her bosom heaving, ftit the central figure in one of the most dismal dramas ever portrayed upon life's great stage. It was the fragile figure of Annie M. Bradley. Not the woman of the halcyon days, when she charmed with her brilliant Intel lect end captivated with her beauty but the Annie Bradley today, a woman aged before her time, a Bhrinklng, pitiful, desolate shadow of her former self.
