MES, EMMONS HOME AGAIN. Mer Return Voyage From Europe Without Notable Incident, ‘Mrs, Weltha A. Emmons, wife of Prot. S. F. Em- mons, Of the Geological Survey, and respondent in the recent insanity proceedings in the District court, was one of the passengers who arrived in New York on the North German Lloyd steamer Aller Saturday. Mrs. Emmons left this city to go to London about a month ago, Returning, she took passage on the Aller at Southampton. Her voyage appears to have been uneventful. The only thing she did that attracted notice was to go on the bridge of the steamer despite the fact that she had been cautioned by the steward that it was against the rules. First Officer Von Hugo was on duty, and it was after midnight on the second day out, As soon as the officer saw her he told her she must Ot come up, and he says she quietly went back to the cabin, “This t on of a known rule was about the only thing out of the way on the The miakter. “She vook great pride in ths adeen: je Matter. “she al n - ment of her stateroom ‘and often assisted the bed- room steward in the- mor to attend toit. It was fixed up like @ Turkish with rugs of skins upon the floor and the walls ornamented in a fanciful manner. Mrs. Emmons often talked with the passengers, but rarely at any tength. Long talks made her excited, ‘She was nervous when We came in,and sald she would be sick again, She made no friends with the male passengers, I understood that her lawyer cabled $350 to her and a request to see her on important business.” Mrs. Emmons’ name was not placed upon the passenger lists, and her intention evidently was to pass through New York without exciting any no- Uce, as she had almost succeeded in doing twice before, the ‘New York Herald ays, consisted dozen ‘pic .d while it ‘say8, col ot over a dozen pieces, and w! was being inspected the lady seated herself upon a trunk and serenely waited. ‘The nand- bags, and parcels contained silks and costly wear ‘apparel almost without end, ornaments and valuable bric-a-brac. ‘There were also a number of London-made bonnets of the very latest pat- tern.

The Venerable Lawyer Passes Away After a Lingering Miness—Sketch of His Career, Joseph H. Bradley, the venerable lawyer, died at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 1517 oth street, Mr. Bradley's death has been ex- Pected for nearly a month, but his extraordinary vitality subtained him for many days, Mr, Bradley was born March 224, 1803, on New ‘York avenue, above 17th street, and was the son of Hon. Abraham -Bradley, of Connecticut, who was the First Assistant Postinaster General under the early administration trom Washington down to that of Gan. Jackson, who removed him in 1829. After a preliminary education in the schools of this city, he was, at an early age, sent to Yale col- lege, where he graduated in the class of 1821. Re- turning to this city, he was employed for three years, from 1821 to 1824, in the ofllce of the clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States under Mr. Caldwell. At the same Ume he studied law with Mr. Caldwell, and subsequently with the late Richard’ 8. Cox. "He was admitted to the bar of Montgomery Co., Md., at Rockville, in November, Mr, Bradley was admitted to the bar of this Dis- trict in April, 1825, and on December 5th of the same year he married Miss Lucy Sherman Tuttle, of New Haven, Conn. By this marriage there were five chil but two of whom, Mr. A. ‘Thomas Bradley and Mrs Rev. Dr. Wiiliams, of Baltimore, are living, with nine grandchildren. About four years” ago, Mr, Bradiey, then @ venerable ‘man, married “as his ’second wife Miss Mary Harris, whom he defended on a cl of munMer in 1865, secur- ing her acquittal. Mr. Bradley soon acquired rank as one of the leaders at the bar in the District, and for many years was employed in nearly all cases of importance coming before the District. AS a Whig he Was prominent before the war, and at- tended several National conventions of the party asa delegate from the District. He was counsel in the famous Gardiner case, in the case of John 4H. Surratt for conspiracy in’ the Lincoin assassi- nation plot and in the celebrated Wylie-Brown case, MR. BRADLEY AND THE SURRATT CASE. ‘The last case at which Mr. Bradley appeared in the Criminal Court was that of John H. Surratt for the murder of President Lincoln, in the sum- mer of 1867, nearly twenty years ago. The hear- ing had been a trying one, and Mr. Bradley be- lieved that Judge Fisher uséd his place and power on the bench to offer him indignities that could not be resented in the course of the trial without peril to the cause of his client. At the close of the trial several altercations took place. Judge Fisher Struck the name of Mr. Bradley trom the roll of attorneys, and shortly afterwards Mr. Bradley delivered personally in a street a note to Judge Fisher, requesting him to name a time and place for a meeting outside of the District. ‘The Gene- ral Term thereupon took up the matter, and sus- ended St. Bradley from prackce i al the courts Of the District, suspension lasted until Sep- ‘tember 28, 1874. Mr. Jos. H. Bradley, jr., trans- feted the business of the arm in ‘the courts as long as he lived, but. at the opening of the September General ‘Term, in 874, Mr. Thomas J. Durant ap- and in the name of a large number of members of the bar, and in the presence of Mr. Bradley moved that he be restored to the bar, and the moion Was at once granted by the court. THE CASE OF MARY HARRIS. Mr. Bradley's second wife, a8 stated, was Mary Harris, whom he defended from a charge of the murder of aman named Burroughs. Miss Harris had been aManced in Chicago to the Treasury Clerk Burroughs, and he had proven false. She became and in 1865 assailed and shot him in a corridor at the Treasury. “She was alone and friendless in a strange city. Sir. Bradley became her counsel and secured her acquital. She was confined at St. Elizabeth's Asyium until cured of her mental troubles, and after Mr. Bradley was left a widower he became sincerely attached to her and a few years ago her, She survives him as his widow. RESPECT TO THE VETERAN LAWYER'S MEMORY. In the Court in General Term, this morning, the death of Mr. Bradley was announced by Mr. A. G, Riddle, who, remarking that nothing more was necessary than to announce the fact, made the usual motion that the court adjourn in respect to his memory. Judge Hagner appropriately re- sponded, remarking that Mr. Bradley was the first ative of Washington admitted to the bar of the District, and directed that the court adjourn. In tae Criminal Cours the death was announced by Mr. W. A. lagner in granting Te mouon to adjourn is respect, to his SDemory said that he first saw Mr. Bradley when thespéaker was a boy pleading a criminal case here, and this Tom had witnessed a thousand of his triumpns, ‘The funeral will take place Wednesday afver- noon. ——_ .
