about 1890, or there abouts, when Bradle,
found her, and after drinking bottle o
beer she and Bradley started home, and ha,
nearly reached there when Marshal Cairn
| arrested him. After the arrest she wen
home, and did not even know what Bradley
was arrested for until about halt an houi
later when she was SO told by party who
came to her house. She has known Bradley
since last January, and has been living with
him ms his mistress for about three
months. She is positive that Bradley
had no revolver, and is quite certain nc Gid
not know Burris. She was very contradic.
tory in what she said, and evidently knows
more than she cares to reveal.
The reporter next called upon Bradley,
whom he found very nervous, and quite
careful as TO what he said. lie gives his
name as Il. +. Bradley says he is Of Irish
parentage, and is twenty-eight years old.
He is large, heavy set man. sandy hair
and mustache, and florid countenance. He
is above the average in intelligence and ed
ucation. He corroborated the story of Cy-
clone about his being at her house, going
after her and returning, when he
was arrested. He says he never
knew there was such man as Bur-
ris until Sheriff Fisher read him the ac-
count Of the tragedy published in yester-
days EAGLE, and OF course he disclaims all
knowledge OF the whole affair. Says 1t must
be a case of mistaken identity; that he
never borrowed or carried revolver in this

last January. lie admitted that he lived
with Cyclone, but seemed to have great
aversion of being linked with her in public
was In another part of the city when the
shooting occurred. He also said lie wished
the coroner would summon as wit
nesses the woman living in the
house south OF Cyclones and the
man living just north and also Geo. Reed.
During his conversation he was cool and
collected.
A. o. Lowell, whose wife has dressmak-
ing rooms few doors north of where the
tragedy occurred, says that at about .
O'Clock on the evening Of the murder he
saw a man pass through the alley back OF
Burris' house, stop aud look into the win
dows, then came out upon the street, and
shortly after he again saw him in the alley
in the rear OF the house apparently looking
after somebody or something. The de-
scrption that he gives of this man closely
resembles that of Bradley. The same
man stopped in front of J. ii. Seals Office.
on the corner, and asked Mr.. $. If he knew
where Burris was. He then walked up to
Burris' office, looked into the window, and
hastended back down the walk. AS he
passed, Seal asked him if he found Burris,
but the man made no reply. AT the time of
the shooting MIR. Lowell had retired, but
his wife was yet in the front room On
hearing the report OF the pistol she FASTENED
10 the front window, and just az she got

the house through narrow alley between

Mrs. Loweil's description of this man tai |
les with the description of the man her |
husband saw prowling around Burris' back
loor, and also is an exact description OF
he prisoner Bradley.
The marshal and police say that
hey have positive evidence that
Bradley and Burris have had trouble sever
Il times over this woman, ''Cyclone," and
hat Bradley has threatened the life of Bur
is on several occasions. They say it has
MY been few weeks since that Burris
matched Jack Bnrr's revolver out OF his
Jack's) pocket, fearing that Bradley would
tempt his life on the streets, on this par
ocular occasion.
To say the least, things look exceedingly
.Ioomy for Bradley, everything seeming to
oint 10 him rs the guilty man, and If he
hould be proved TO be such, the fun penal
y OF the law should be meted out. How
yer, every one should suspend judgment
mil after the inquest, rs no doubt it will
ither clear HIM or establish his guilt.
