WEDNESDAY, JULY 7. 1897. WARD IS [V REAL TROVBLE Probability That Mrs. Brad- bury Will Testify Against Her Lover. STORY OF A HYPNOTIC SPELL. Both Cases Called in Judge Low’'s Court, but Suffera Continuance, THE WOMA¥ T00 ILL TO APPEAR. Mrs. Banning, the Mother of the Run-| | Banning is also prostrated and confin ed away Wife, Arrives, and a Re- cenciliation Follows. There is 8 bright prospect now that the runaway wife of Millionaire John Brad- bury of Los Angeles will shortly appear in a new and ratner sensational role. Seidom does Mrs. Bradbury do any- thing that is not sensational. It is asserted, and on what seems to be the very best of auttority, thatthe alleged hypnotic spell under which her friends claim that her eloping companion, H. Ruseell Ward, has held her, is now dis- velled 1o that extent thatshe is ready ana ing to go upon the witness-stand next Thursday and testify against her lover. The story that Mrs. Bradbary is apt to tell unaer oath will be, it is said, some- thing decidedly startling. It isto partake of hypnotism—the story of another Sven- gali luring & vietim on to ruin and dis- zrace in spite of her efforts to shake off the dread influence. Of course Mrs. Bradbury may not have | the hardihood to say that she tried ever s0 hard to escape irom her British charm- er's spell, but will probably tone it down to an innocent-sounding statement that she simply could not. It is said that she is going to relate how for weeks and months—aye, even for some years—this awful man coaxed and cajoled, whispered and cooed, until, silly thing that she was, she began to believe that she really loved him, and loved him bet- ter than home, husband and name, It was while reveling in this intoxi- cating delirium—so it is said her tale will be—that she listened and consented to th¢ suggestion to "undertaxe the flight frobm Los Angeles that has resulted in her being ogled wherever she dares to go, pointed at by the finger of acorn, marched in disgrace to prison, and finally in her being prostrated in her bed. When the pampered wife of the indul- gent Southern Croesus arrived ia this City last Friday wit would never think of returning to her old home, for she had found in him what she had never known before, ana that was real happiness. Butnow? She refuses to see this same man. She avows that she cannot for the life of her understand ber former conduct, ex- cept that she has been the victim of some awiul contrel that she could ueither fatbom nor resist. Now he _s a monster. She prays for protection from him, and with what seems to be :enuine remorse and repentance beseeches those who throughout her sunny life bad loved and petted ber for forgiveness—all except the husband whose heart she is said to have. broken by her cruel desertion, and she could scarcely be expected to have the effrontery to ask this. Mrs. Mary Banning, the mother of this ‘Ward she boasted she | | that they had maintained unlawful asso- | | | { erring and wavward Southern beile, ar- riveg from Los Angeles as was expected, and twenty minutes after the ferry steam- er touched the wharf she was locked in the arms of her daughter. e It was a complete reconciliation. Mrs. Banning forgave everything, and, mother- like, promised to protect and continue to love ner child as if nothing had ever tap- pened. Upon the distracted mother’s ar- rival at the Occidental Hotel she was shown immediately to Mrs. Bradbury’s room. B The nurse who has been in attendance upon the runaway wile since she fell victim to hysteria and nervous prostra- tion, Tuesday, respectiully withdrew from the apartment, for sue foresaw the scene that was certain to be enacted when mother and deughter met. No one wit- nessed this, but the swollen, tear-stained faces subsequentiy seen told of an affect- ing interview. Mrs. Bradbury has promised her mother, in fact vowed, that she will never agsin countenance Ward's attentions, nor even tolerate his friendship. Sue says she will never speak to him nor permit him to speak to her. i 1n order that no possible communica- tion from the Briton might reach her a rule has been established at the hotel that all missives, whether oral or writ- ten, and all mail matter directed to Mrs. Bradbury shall be delivered directly into the hands of Mrs. Banning, and to no other person. Ward made another attempt yesterday to have a messenger-boy deliver a note to his loved one, but as was the case on the day previous it was returned to him un- opened. Neither Mrs. Banning or dirs. Bradbury would receive & caller yesterday, outside of Major Hooper—the proprietor of the hotel and an old friend of the Banning family—and Attorney Gavin McNab, who is looking out for the daughter’s interest in court. 4 As the result of the fearful strain that this scandal has brought upon her, Mrs. to her bad. Like her daughter, she is be- ing attended by Dr. McNutt. “I have no doubt but that Ward would like very much to break in here and en- deavor to win back the woman he bas so shamefully disgraced,” said Major Hooper yesterday; ‘‘but it will not be healthy for hiim to call here. If the scoundrel does, I will guarantee to send him to a hos- pital. ] “fn fact, I wonld advise him to bring the Morgue wagon along with him. It might save his friends the trouble of send- ing forit. This whole thing is an oui- rage. That poor woman and her mother are both in a bad way, and all due to this fellow’s action. “But there has been a complete recon- ciliation, and I can see happiness ahead for the frail creature, who was so shame- fully dragged away from her home. Not only has her mother taken her back to her arms, but I slso understand that she will be welcomed back by her brothers and sisters as well. ‘Chis is as it should be. Itischaritable—it is humanity.” Matters are looking rather blue for Ward all aronnd. With the repentance of Mrs. Bradbury, her reconciliation with her tamily, the prospectof her appearance as a witness in court against him and the sympathy that invariably goes with the woman in all such cases as this, it would appear that this pariicular Lothario is going to have a hard time of it. The following telegram, received yester- day by Secretary Kaue of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, from a promi- nent member of the California Club at Los Angeles, gives an idea of the temper- ament of the people down that way: “Sock it to Ward hard. Mrs, Bradbury was surely demented, and completely con- trolled by the brute. Deal Kindly with her. She needs sympathy rather than punishment.” ; The cases of the elopers were called in Police Judge Low’s court yesterday morn- 1ng. As was predicted in THE CALL, Mrs. Bradbury did not put in an appearance, a certificate from Dr. McNutt accounting for her absence. Bu: Ward was there, accompanied by his counsel, Garret McEnerney, and asked for a quick hearing. Mr. McEnerney thinks that he can dispose of the charge against his client on a tecunicality. The prosecution asked for further time, however, as all the necessary evidence to show that both parties were married and ciations had not as yet been secured. After some patley Ward's case was post- poned unul to-morrow, and it was an- nounced that Mrs. Bradbury’s examina- tion—1f she is ever examined at all—will take place after her lover’s case is disposed of. 8 Attorney James P. Sweeney, who is conducting the prosecution on behalf of the society, said last evening that he would have sufficient evidence by to-mor- row to hold Ward to answer for felony be- fore the Superior Court. He has a certified copy of Mrs. Brad- bury’s marriage certificate, eye-witnesses to Ward’s marriage and subpenas out for several persons who will testify as to the conduct of the couple on the train which bronght them from Los Angeles, as well as to their doings after their arrivalin Our competitors—the high class tailors.

This, in addition to the pros- pect of Mrs. Brudbury taking the witness- stand. In connection with this gathering of ev:dence there is a story abroad to the effect that a department editor of a morn- ing newspaper which essays to trail the path of what it is pieased to term ‘‘new journalism’ has been dragged into rather a pasty dilemma. Itis said of him thatin his anxiety to corral & joyful ‘“scoop”’ he aided and abetted in the commission of these elopers’ alleged crime by securing apartments for them at the Fairmount Hotel and giving his personal assurance that he knew them 1o be man and wife. He is also said to have registered them under false names, knowingly and with ‘“‘malice aforethou-ht.” He will be called to the witness-stand, and maybe some- thing worse than that will happen. THE BALLOON FATALITY. Little Bertie Hill’s Neath Was Not Purely Accidental. OAKLAND, Can., July 6.—The Coro- ner’s jury investigating the death of little Bert Hill, who was killed by falling from a balloon yesterday, brought in two ver- dicts to-night. The Coroner, Dr. Baldwin, signed the mirority verdict, which 1s as follows: We, the jury, do find that the name of the deceased was Bertram Hill, 2 native of Cali- fornia, aged 6 years and 8 months, and that he came o his death at E.J. Hasos' tanch, Pied- mont Hills, Alamed. County, at about 5 o'clock p. 3., July 5, 1897, and that death wns caused by a fall from a balioon ascending from Blars Park; and we do turther find thut very litle precaution was taken by the company controlling the ascension lo prevent accidents to cnildren. The majority verdict received the same facts and made the following recommen- dation: And we do recommend that the company having charge of the ascensionsin the future take proper precautions to prevent ull but employes from assisting in the preparation for the ascens- o W, J. BREAN 1§ COMING, He Will Arrive in the City This Afternoon From Oakland. All Arrangements for His Reception Have Been Made—A Big Serenade. To-day Central Park will ring with shouts of weicome for William J. Bryan, the banner-bearer of the Democracy of the country. Most elaborate arrangements have been made for his recention. A platform has been erected in front of the grand stand, between the Eighth-street entrance and the Market-street L of the tiers of seats. From that platform, facing toward the east, the speaker will address his au- dience. That it will be a big one is cer- tain, for all day yesterday the office of the chairman of the committee in charge was besieged by seekers after information and tickets of admis-ion. The seating capacity of Central Park is about 6000 and a test of the acoustic pro- perties of the grand stands made yester- day showed that if every one keeps quiet the words of the speaker can easily be heard by all. Just behind the speaker are the reserved seats, 1500 of them, ior the various committees and their invited guests. In the big open space where the old baseball diamond was laid out the crowds which prefer to stand nesr the platform will be aliowed to gather, so the sealing capacity of the grand stands will not by any means be the limitto the num- ber of those admitted. Judge James G. Maguire will preside at the big meeting, and he will introduce the man from Nebraska. At half-past 7 o’clock this evening a procession will form to escort Mr. Bryan to Woodwara’s Pavilion, where Le will speak at 8 o’'clock. In the escort will be the Iroquois Club and the Central Demo- cratic Club, besides the reception com- mittee appointed to receive the orator. Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr. will be mar- shal of the parade. The doors of the pavilion will bs opened at6p. M. The lower tloor will be reserved for ladies and their escorts, and on the stage will be the reception committee and the escort. W. H. Alford, chairman of the Democrat.c State Central Committee, will preside. In the evening Mr. Bryan will be serenaded at the Palace Hotel. The distingnished guest will arrive in the Citv from Oakland on the Vizilant at 3 o’clock. The tug will land him at Mis- sion-street wharf. He will be met on the tug by Willhlam P. Lawlor, chairman of the executive committee, and lunch will be served on board before he lands. ——————— CUT HIS THROAT. Warren E. Letson, a Printer, Attempts to Commit Suicide, Warren E.

LOVERS HEET INEXPECTEDLY An Afi‘ecfiing Scene in the Receiving Hospital Yesterday. After Three Months’ Search Mary Evans Discovers Her Affianced There. They Were Engaged to Be Married in Portland, but He Fled to Escape Arrest, There was an affecting scene in the Re- ceiving Hospital yesterday afternoon be- tween two lovers, who unexpectedly met after a forced separation of some three months. Frank Clark was a cook in Portland, Or., and met Mary Evans, a domestic ser- vant about 30 years of age. They soon formed a mutual attachment, which cul- minated in an engagement to be married. Clark was fond of gambling, and about three months ago he had hara luck at a faro game. In his desperation he passed a counterfeit §100 bili on the faro-dealer. His illluck continued ana, fearing arrest for passing the counterfeit bill, he fled from Portland and came to this City. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest, and a few weeks after his arrival here he was captured and taken to the County Jail. He turned sick in jail and last week was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs. He was putin a_private ward and since then a deputy United States Marshal has been detziled at the hospital to prevent him from escaping. Mary Evans wondered what had tecome of her lover till about two months ago, when she learned that he was in this City. She determined to follow him, and ar- rived here on May 26. She made in- quiries about Clark, but could find no trace of him. She procured a sitvation with the family of Rev. Dr. Foutz, 3123 California street, and at every opportunity she tried to find some iidings of Clark, ~Yesteruay morn- ing she learned that he had been arrested, and in the afterncon calied at police headquarters. She was almost hysterical, and afier i: quiry bal been made at the City Prison and his name was not on the register her nerves gave way and she sobbed and shrieked. Sergeant Colby took her to the detectives’ room and tried to soothe her, but she got worse and De- tective Crockett took her to the hospital. Whnile being lea to the female ward she had to pass the private ward occupied by Clark. Something familiar struck his ear as the sobbing woman passed along. He hurriedly opened the door and the two | lovers conironted eack other. With a shriek the woman rushed into hisarms and sobbed on his breast. He kissed her and spoke fondly to her, and gradually she became calmer and was able to listen to the story of his flight ana arrest. When she was told of his illness she in turn be- came the comforte “THE MAYELOWER HERE Sails Picturesquely Into Public Favor at the Baldwin Theater, How “Two Escutcheons” at the Co- lumbia Was Received by a Critical Audience. An excellent audience filled the Bald- win Theater last evening toattend the ini- tial reproduction in this City of the play entitled “The Mayflower,”” from the pen of Louis N. Parker. -The superb acting of Daniel Frohman’s Lyceum Theater Com- vany was thoroughly enjoyed. No announcement was made that a cur- tain raiser would precede “The May- flower,” so the audience were not only surprised but thoroughly enjoyed the in- novation. *“When a Man’s Married” was the first play, and it contains a whole evening’slaughter, telling as it does of the domestic infelicijies of a newly married couple, who are Visited by former friends, who eventually get into great trouble try- ing to bringabout areconciliation between the bride and groom. Messrs. Wheelock Jr. and Tynan and Misses Tyree and Mac- beth did admirable work, elisting two cur- tain calls at the end. “When a Man’s Married'’ was followed by the appearance of Mary Mannering before the curtain, who read a beautifully worded prologne by Mr. Parker, author of “The May- flower.” In *‘The Mayflower” each act has in it- self a stage setting in keeping with the at- mosphere of the era. Act one shows the interior of Roger Mallory’s lodgings in Amsterdam, and is complete with its delft ware, brass kettles and spinning wheel. Act two presents an old English hostelry on the quay at Plymouth, England, show- ingin the distance the vessels moored in the harbor. In the tnird act, supposed to represent a clearing in the forest at Pivmouth, New England, the curtain rises upon an aimost darkened stage, and through a manipulation of light effects sunrise and the break of day are pictured. James K. Hackert, as Lord Gervase Carew, has a most exucling role which he carries with fine ffect and is ably se- conded by Eaward Morgan as Jack Poyn- ings. Charles Walcot gives a strong_por- trayal of Roger Mallcry, while Mary Man- nering as Joan his daughter stamps her- sel!f as an artist. As Bridget Hoskins Mrs. Thomas Whiffan came in for a con-ider- able share of the applause bestowed upon every member of the cast. Joseph ‘Wheelock Jr. showed much versatility as the young Hollander, whose aialect was ev dently a carefui study. J. Brandon Tynan, Grace Root and R. J. Dustan respectively gave clever character imper- sonations. The Columbla. After five weeks spent not altogether profitably in experimenting with new plays, the Frawleys last night reverted to the old favorite line and produced “The Two Escuicheons,” one of those exquisite society saures peculiar to this aggrega- tion. Z Before the first act was over the audi- ence recognized what they had been wait- ing for ever since the ‘‘home company” returned to San Francisco thiy season. It virtually amounted to an opening nigbt of the engavement. To say that the production last night was done as the Frawleys did it last year, when it took the local hearts by storm, is simply to say that it was done admirably. Frank Worthing, Blanche Bates, Harry Carson Clarke, Theodore Hamilton, Gladys ‘Wailace, Phosa McAllister and Thomas Ross shared the credit accorded by the audience in proportion to the paris they were cast in. Mrs. Bates and Mr. Worth- ing in their delicate word fencing were never seen to better advantage. “The Two Escutcneons” will be con- tinued for the balance of the week. WELBURN 1§ 00T ON BAIL Colonel Dan Burns and Thomas H. Williams Are His Sureties. Ex-Collector's Case Set for the 20th Inst, for Examination, The He Expects to Set Himself Right Before the World When Loupe Becovers. 0. M. Welburn, the ex-Collector of In- ternal Revenue, walked out of the Federal building a comparatively free man yester- day afternoon. He was released on $5000 bonds, furnished by Colonel Daniel M. Burns, the wealthy mining man, and Thomas H. Wiliams, the racehorse- fancier. In the morning Welburn was taken be- fore United States Commissioner Heacock for the formality of identification. Mar- shal Barry Baldwin made oath that the prisoner was the same person as named in the warrant of arrest. The prisoner ad- mitted his identity. Neither of his attor- neys, McNab and McEnerney, was pres- ent, and in default of bail, $5000, he was taken back to the County Jail by Deputy Marshal Harry Moffatt. The ex-Collector states that as soon as his chief deputy, Louis Loupe, recovers from his iliness, he is sure that Loupe will clear him of sll trouble. The deputy is recovering slowly and it will be several weeks before he will be able to be around. Welburn's attorneys were not idle, al- though they were not in evidence at the identification. They were out hurrving here and there hunting for bondsmen for their client. For a time it was supposed that E. B. Pond would assume half ¢f the responsibilities, but in the lizht of later develcpments it was evident that he was not looking for that kind of an invest- ment for his money. Later the name of Louis Metzger was mentioned for the same honor, but at the last minute be too backed out. When nearly time for the Commissioner to close his oftice for the day the attor- neys made their apvearance accompan ed by Colonel Dan Burns and Thomas Will- iams. The latter consented to go on the sureties of the accused and the formalities were soon passed. From all appearances Welourn was not very much acquainted with his sureties, for there was a [ot of in- troducing to be done beiore they were all on speaking terms. The Commissioner ufter accepting the bonds set the date for the preliminary examination for July 20, Welburn left the building in company with his friends in an apparently much relieved frame of mind FELL DOWNSTAIRS. Colonel John O’Brien Has a Lucky Escape From Serious Injury. Colonel John O Brien, a veteran of the war, living at the Baldwin House on Eilis street, had a narrow escape from break- ing his neck at an early hour vesterday morning. He was on the way to his room, and at the top of the stairs missed his footing and fell to the bottom. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Receiving Hospital in the ambulance. Dr. Tormey foun< that the veteran had escapecd with a compound fracture of tue nose, a lucerated wound of the scalp and another on the upper lip. He did not re- cover consciousness till several hours later, and was cousiderably surprised to fina himself in the hospital. ‘When the war broke out the colonel raised a regiment and went Kast at its head. He fought throngh the war and returned to the City. Heis a man about 70 years of age. R e BIG ROAD RAOE NEXT SUNDAY. Entries for the Associated Clubs’ An- nual Twenty-Mile Event.

Active Operations in Building the Great Factory of the World. Immense Quantity of Material on the Ground to Be Used in Oon- struction. Claus oSpreckels and A. B. Spreckels, accompanied by Judge Wiedeman and E. C. Macfarlane of Hawaii, paid a visit Monday and the day before to the beet sugar works at Watsonville and the beet plantations of that region. They visited also the site of the great beet sugar refin- ery at Salinas which will when completed surpass any esiablishment of a similar character in the world. Reports have been sent out recently by certain influences in the East to the effect that ttis vast work w' ich Claus Spreckels’ enterprise inaugurated would never be carried forward to completion. Should any one visit the site of the great factory at the present time and ob-erve the pro- gress of work on the foundations and no- tice also the 4000 barrels of cement to be used in future work of construction, all doubt as to Mr. Spreckels’ ultimate pur- pose would be dispelled. Every one in California ought to know by thistime that Claus Spreckels does not halt or change his mind when his purpose to carry out a great enterprise is once determined. He is going ahead now with all possible vigor to build in the Salinas Valley the greatest sugar faciory in the world. v The completion of this factory and the employment which it will give will do more to promote good times in California than a million mass-meetings and twice that number of stump speeches. A. B. Spreckels, E. C. Maciarlane and Judge Wiedeman returned to the City Monday evening., Claus Spreckels went to Aptosand Wwill remain there four or five days. NEW 7TC0-DAY — DRY GOODs.

Is Confident of Being Able to Disprove the Charge of Murder. Father and Son May Have to Cross Swords Before the Cases Are Concluded. Theoaore Figel shows no apparent ap- prehension of what may be in store for him to-morrow, when he isto be called upon to answer to some of the most se- rious charges in the criminal category. He is cheertul and even witty in conver- sation with those who call to see him. He goes so far as to joke about the crimes he nas been charged with and expresses the utmost confidence to the effect that he will not be convicted on any of them. So far as the murder charge is concerned, he ridicules the ides of his being proved to be the slayer of his former employer. His prison life is probably less irksome than that of any individual confined in the jail. He has all his meals brought in to him and generally has a friend to lunch or dine with him. He has made friencs with every one about the inhstitution, trom Captain Robinson, the head of the establishinent, to the trusties. Each aay he walks the corridor of the prison for several hours, in order, he says, to be able to sleep at night. He takes from eight to ten hours’ slumber, and his clear eyes and elastic carriage show that his rest is seemingly free from disturbing dreams. Sunshine is the only thing he misses. He declares that the lack of it nas interfered with his appetite. For this reason he indulges in but two meals a day. Captain Bohen now has four men work- ing on the case, seeking to discover new evidence. One of these was put on yester- day, in response to the request of Judge Murphy to have a certain m itter investi- gated. Noth.ngz of a startling character has been developed since the conciusion of the Coroner’s inquest. Judge Murphy deciined to say yester- day which of the charges he would cause to be called first. He expects Henry Ach to return 1o town to-day, and hopes that that gentleman will be present in court while the preliminary hearing is in prog- ress, General W. H. L.' Barnes will have charge of the case for Figel. He was re- tained owing to the inability of Mr. Liovd to give what he thought would be proper attention to the case. The Fair case will absorb most of Mr. Lloyd’s time. General Barnes «aid yesterday that he did not much care which charge was brought up first, but added that be thought it would be an injustice to bring upany other until the murder accusation was dis- posed of. *“If the others are tried before the gravest charge,” he said, “‘they will be able to keep the yourg man in jail, as he cannot be bailed on the murder charge However, it is their privilege to put the cases on in any order they may decide upon. *“If they call up either the embezzle- ment or forgery charges first Ishall ask to have the capital offense put ahead. I suppose Judge Murphy will say, ‘We have | the right to regulate these cun es as we | please,’and I shail simply have to con- | cede his rignt. I bave not the least fear that they will be able to make anything of the murder and forgery charges, and as to the others I have not yet examined them sufficiently to be in a position to express an opinion relative to them.” Should these cases be taken into the Su- perior Court, as they undoubtedly will be, a peculiar situation will be created. Father will be opposed to son in one of the most notable criminal cases in the his- tory of 1he State. W. S. Barnes, as Dis- trict Attorney. will then be in charge of the prosecution of the Ficel cases.
