THAT TELL-TALE LETTER. Lawger Bradford's Epistle to Governor £t. John of Kansas. ADMITS THE FAILURE OF PROHIBITION. And at Some Length Explains Why the Law is Grossly Disregarded and Why it Cannot Fe Enforced, At the time St. John was governor of Kan« pas and Bradford was prosecuting attormey n Osagze county, Kansas, the failure toen force the probibitory law and prosecute liquor gellers became so flagrant that St. John di- rectod a personal letter to Prosecuting Attor- pey Bradford (afterwards attorney general. ) The letter of St. John drew forth the fol Jowing caustic epistle from Bradford, who, it will be remembered, asserted at Grand Island that prohibition was as pforced in Kan- pas us wasany other criminal statute.
