16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 1897. WARD IS N THE DEFENSE Judge Low Will Give Him a Chance, but Says He Is Guilty. AY EFFORT TO DISMISS FAILS. In Order to Prevent a French | Leavetaking His Bail Is Raised. }RS. BRADBURY T00 ILL TO APPEAR. The Lothario Will Have an Oppor- tunity to Tell His 8tory To- Morrow on the Stand, | Unless H. Russell Ward can produce | come powerful evidence in defense, ke | stands a brilliant chance to be heid to | answer before the Superior Court for his | illicit relations with Mrs. John Bradbury, | the woman he induced to desert bher | millionaire husband and home of luxury in Los Angeles. x All of yesterday and a portion of last right was consumed in Police Judge Low’s | court in the hearing of evidence that the | officers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice had gathered against the Briton, and all day it looked as though he was going to have a veritable walkover in escaping from the clutches of the law. He had Garret McEnerney there to| look after his interests, and that gentle- man, too, was brimfull of confidence in bis ability to summarily dispose of the | charge without even having to go to the | trounle of offering any evidence in de- | fense. It was, therefore, an unexpected | and disconcerting blow to them when the | court, after seeming to lean toward the | defense ail through the examination, re- fused to discharge the defendant and | added $1000 10 his bail. | What Ward’s defense will be, or can be, | is now puzzling those who have been fol- owing the details of his escapade, for Judge Low practically decided last night | that sufficient evidence had been adduced | to warrant holding Ward for a jury trial in the upper tribunal. Ana bere’s another thing: What will | be Mrs. Bradbury’s chances of escape if her lover is held? The evidence brought out yesterday bears against Ler justas | heavily as it does agains. Ward. She was | too ill to appear in court and give her | promised evidence against Ward, and there:ore must have sacrificed her chances | for immunity on that score. | As might be expscted, there was a big | crowd in the courtroom to hear the de- | tails of the scandal—so much of a crowd | that on two different occasions Judge Low | was compeled to order the place cleared | of all persons except those who had busi- ness there. Ward was naturallv the cen- ter of attraction, but all the staring and | whispered comments upon his make-up seemed to haye no visible effect upon him. | Throughout the long session he sat and | gazed vacantly abead of him like one in a trance. Attorney Sweeney did not have a well- prepared case to begin with. His wit- nesses were tardy about arriving in court, | he was uncertain as to the evidence they were going to give, and be was compelled to present the case for the prosecution in a tangled and wrong-end-to fashion. And besides this, Judge Low put himselfon | record early the proceedings as being | disposed to admit only such evidence as would show that the elopers, and particu- larly Ward, bad not sought to conceal | reporters than to hide their shame from | pied a 100m_at that hostelry last Satur- their illicit relations, and bad wantonly flaunted their nsu-htiness under the noses of a <hocked community. His Honor took occasion T once that in nis opinion ceriain sensational newspapers were Tesponsi- ble for most of the flaunting rather than the lgvanting couple. As he in- terpreted the law, simple adultery was not a punishable crime in this State. In order to bs such the un'awful relations must be “open and notorious.” It was this particular requirement thet stumped Sweeney. Most of his evidence rather tended to show that Mrs. Bradbury and her paramour devoted much energy to- ward finding concealment—aibeit this de- slre was rather to escape the newspaper to remark | society generally. The first witness placed on the stand was F. H. Bolmer, the colored porter of the particular Pullman car in which the runaways rode from Los Angeles to the Oakland mole. An objection was raised by Attorney McEnerney to any testimony being given by this witness on the ground that the Pullman at no time was in this County, and that therefore the court had no jurisdiction over any act that Mrs. Bradbury and Ward might have com- mitted en route. = The court at first sustained this objec- | tion, but subsequently reconsidered the ruling and permitted Bolmer to be re- | placed on the stand. Like all Pullman vorters, this individual proved to be a most reticent witness, and such testimony as he gave had to be literally dragged from bim. He identified Ward as being the man who accompanied Mrs. Bradbury from Los Angeles, and said that he saw | but little oi them during the trip, for the | reason that they rigorously adhered to the seclusion of their drawing-room. So far as h: had been able to observe the elopers did not flaunt their alleged in- decency on the train. Willis McCrea, another colored em- ploye, gave evidence almost identical to that elicited from Bolmer. Then Gilbert Whittaker, one of the clerks employed at the Fairmount Hotel, took the stand and pointed out Wara as the man who occu- day night, in company with a woman whom be did not know. The couple registered under assumed names. Ward was assisted in securinz the apartments by another man, who is said to be thecity editor of a morning newspaper. The couple were vouched for by this party as being man and wife. Whittaker said he suspected that he bad not been told the truth, and communicated this impression 1o the Jandlady, Mrs. W. F. Fosier. The result was that on the following morning Ward and his companion were ordered M H. RUSSELL WARD Listens Stoi ook the eloper: to the suite assigned to them. They entered together and he closed the door after them. Some more Fairmount people gave evidence. but developea nothing new. Then James Farghery related how Ward and Mrs. Bradbury happened to occupy a room last Friday night in the lodging-house on Post street known as the “Mansfield.” A waiter from Marchand’s restaurant en- gaged the apartment for them, and the couple arrived about two hours later. They kept the room all night, The certified copy of the certificate vouching for the marriage of John Brad- bury and Lucy Banning was offered in evidence by Mr. Sweeney, and George P. Dunham, whose name appeared on the document as one of the witnesses, identi- fied the certificate and gave his recollec- tions of the marriage, which, by the way, was a runaway affair. Jack Connors, journalist, vouched for the accuracy of an inierview he had had with both Ward and Mrs. Bradbury dur- ing their trip to this City. The woman’s story of ‘‘romance’” and ‘“happiness at last obtained” was repeated. Tue witness sad that he gained the impression from their talk that the elopers had forsaken their respectives homes for good and in- tended to forever live togethe- as man and wife, in spite of what the world might say or think. This was the first bit of real evidence showing that thers had been any flaunting that Mr., Sweeney had been uvle to secure. Herman de Laguna, who rode up from Los Angeles on the same train with the runaway pair—in fact, in the same Pull- man—told a story similar to thatgiven by the colored porters. Aifter some rather unimportant evidence was adduced with reference to the dinners at Marchand’s, Mr. Sweeney announced that, with the exception of the testimony of twc absent witnesses, his case was closed. One of these witnesses, he said, was Mrs. Brad- bury berself. The court was about to foilow up this ruling by holding Ward to answer, when be was reminded by Mr. McEuerney that a mere motion was being passed upon and that Ward still had the right to offer tes- timony in his defense. ‘‘Oh, yes; to be sure,” said Judge Low. **1 was lorgeiting that.”” Mr. McEnerney then asked that the in order to give him an opportunity 10 prepare the defense. This request was granted, Before allowing Ward to leave the conrtroom Judge Low raised the bail from $1000 to $2000, and the defendant’s counsel gave his personal guarantee that the ad- ditional amount would be forthcoming this morning.

Her physician had forbidden her leaving her bed. Judge Low suggesied that a short ses- ion of the court might be held in Mrs. Bradbury’s apartments in order that her statement could be taken. But this course was forcibly opposed by Mr. McNab. He said that it was a weli- known fact that Ward had been moving heaven and earth in his efforts to see his “vietim,” and this would offer him the very opportunity he was seeking. Under the law he would have the right to be present should Mrs. Bradbury’s deposi- tion te taken, ana this was the very thing | her relatives and protectors did not wish to have happen. Ward's jaw dropped when Mr. Sweeney acquiesceu with Mr. McNub and said he would not insist upon having the woman’s statement. His lust chanc- was gone. An evening s ssion had to be held in order to permit Mr. Sweenev to close the prosecution. When court reconvened he called to the stand John T. Gaffey of Los Anceles, who is Ward’s brother-in-law. Although it was not expected that Mi. Gaffey woula willingly eive evidence againsta membor of his family, yet he answered the questions propounded to bhim frankly and with no apparent effort to hide anything. He furnished the pros- ecution one missing link in its chain of evidence, and that was a positive state- ment that Ward was a married man. Ward, be said, was united in marriage to Miss Banami in L)s Angeles on the 22d of June, 18! Mr. Gaffey also said that he knew the woman who eloped with his brother-in-law. She was the wife of John Bradbuiy of Los Angeles. This closed tue evidence for the prose- Mr. McEnerney promptly made client dismissed on the ground that no crime had been proved.

Mr. Sweeney opposed the motion, and an argument followed. Mr. McEnerney led off, taking as his text the oue point that be referred to irequently during the examination, and that was that the run- away couple had not been in open and no- It was not the no- the actions of people that counts, he said, but the notoriety caused by their own He gunoted numerous author- ities in support of his posit on. Mr. Sweeney replied by saying that the evidence showed c¢onclusively that Ward and Mrs. Biadbury ran away for the de- liverate puri o of living together as man and wile, and deciarcd that they cared not for wuat the world -aid about it. Tuat he coasidered was about as open and notori- ous as could be imagined. Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds added a few words to (he effect that if traveling together on a public train, [requenting public restaurants and lodging rogether in public s eeping-houses did not consti- tute an open and notorious proceeding when pract ced by persons who are not only rnot marr.ed to each other but bave husband and wiie respectively of their own, then be did not understand the Eng- lisb language. The m tion to dismiss was then submit- ted to the court and, to the surprise of Mr. McEnerney and the complete discom- fiture of Ward, it was denied by Judge Low.

My friends, there is nothing more dishonest than the atiempt to deccive the people by those who advocate the gold standard.’ What, then, must be said of the honesty of those who advocate the frec colnage of silver ataratio of 16 to 1, or more than 50 per cent higher than the market ratio of the two met- als, and denounce the gold standard of value and pretend that they are thus striving to re- said: “It is a commercicl problem entirely, not to be reguiated by law, and just prineciples require that we take the average value of them in the markets of the world.” On the standard of value Jefferson said: “It should be the same »s that of the Nation, ona sound basis, with which we have the greatest commerce, in order thatwe may not beata disadvantage in trade and exchange.” As to the gold standard Jackson on Decem- ber 26, 1836, said: “The useful and orna- mental purposes to which gold can be applied are the properties which give it real value and render the demand for it universal. This, with other pecullur qualities, has made it in all ages throughont tre world the standard of value. There is no fraua in gold. Like the honest principles of the founders of our Gov- ernment, who deciare by coustitutional provi- sion the precious metals to be the only money of the Republic, it 15 unchangeable and will do its office well, everywhere, at ali times; no slchemy can multiply it; no chartered privi- leges can give sudden or unseen expansion or contraction to its amount. Nature has set lirr;ltls and labor imparts an invariable value to it. “IL is, therefore, the true representative of the vrinciples of justice snd equality which should enter into everything Luat operates upon our institutions, 8 d sbould ever be in- sisted upon by the industrial classes as the actual circulating medium to bring to the test every species of credit currency, aud to sup- Ppress the spurious paper system resting on no solid basis and giving birth to frauds and stock gambling, which tends so much to estrange our people from honest and useful pursuits and our legislation from that prim- itive patriotism which was once entirely ai- reci.ed to foster them."” Would not Mr. Bryan better imitate the frankness of Judge Maguire’s speech in Metro- politan Temple, in which he declared the Chicago platform of 1896 to be that of a new party, of “a new Democracy,” for it is surely not the Democracy of Jefferson ana Jackson, and instead of being a return to their prin- cipes is an abandonmeat and betrayal of them? In his speech at Fresno Mr. Bryan spoke of the Nationel Democrats as bolters, and as the only friends of the single standard, and said the weakness of the gold standard in the country was evident, for the National Demo- crats cast only 132,000 votes last November. That is true. But granting that that repre- sented the strength of the National Democracy then, are there no signs of growth? There has been one State election since 1896, in a State where there was a Palmer ticket—in Michigan. State last year. In the spring election eight weeks ago the National Democratic State ticket received 33.000 votes, an increase of 266 per cent in less than six months. If it be true that the gold standard had only 9000 friends in Michi- gan last year they must be pleased witk the increase of their numbers. If it be as great all over (he country the National Democracy and the gold siandard will now number 483.120 and by 1900 nearly 4,000000 adher- ents, or nearly the namber that voted for Bryan last tall. The National Democracy will be in the field in Iows, Ohio and Kentucky this year, and I invite Mr. Bryan’s attention to the returns. I regret that there is no Democratic paper in San Francisco through which the foregoing facts may reach readers,but I rely on the courtesy of THE CAuLL to its Democratic patrons. JoHN P. 1RISH.

GONSTERNATION IN HAWA Fears That the Senate Will Not Pass the Annexa- tion Bill. !The City of Peking Held Over in Order to Bring News of the Jubilation. Much Disappointment Over the News Brought From This City by the Mariposa. Even the Pacific Mail Company’'s steamer City of Peking did not escape the Christian Endeavor rush yesterday. Hun- dreds were down to meet the ship, and al- though the cabin passengers were few the welcome was none the less hearty. Every person on board was a “Christian en- deavorer” according to their own state- ment, *‘but,” said a transfer agent, “‘they want accommodation and that is the only way they ean get it.”’ The Iate arrival of the steamer was due to the fact that President Dole and the | members of the Government wanted to celebrate annexation as soon as the Mari- posa arrived from BSan Francisco. There was universal disappointment when it was learned that the Senate had taken no action. Mrs. Schmidt, who was down to the dock to meet some friends, had a narrow escape from an accident. The whart was crowded with teams and thousands of tons of freizht were piled up awaiting transhipment. The hackman started to look for the lacy’s friends and while he was gone the horses ran a Such a stampede ha: never been seen before and never will be seen ag:in on the Mail dock. Men, women and children, teams and delivery-wagons got out of the way and the hack with the half-frantic woman in it made its way up the dock at a breakneck speed. Freight Clerk Green was knocked down in a vain aitempt to stop the horses and Gatekeeper Anuerson 1ate. Captain Auderson, superintendent of the dock, who knows more about a ship than ne does about horseback riding, was the hero of the day. He caught ihe reins as tue ".orses were speeding up Brannan street ana by a great display of skill brought the horses ‘‘to their vearings.” A few minutes later ihe driver took charge. and when the Pekinz was docked Mrs. Schmidt and her friends were driven to the Pleasanton.
