much hesitation, the old man told the
story of his life during the past twenty five
years; how he had married another woman
and had daughter, and was living happily
and comfortably. They talked the matter
over and they concluded to forgive and for

AN INSANE PHYSICIAN.
Ruined by the Immoderate Use of
a Dangerous Drug.
Experimenting With Cocoaine on His Fam
lily - The Lives of Wife and Chill
dren Wrecked, and Himself
Hopelesly Crazy.

CHICAGO, November 29-Yesterday Dr.
Charles d, Bradley, awell-known physician
of this CITY, was placed in confinement ap-
parently hopelessly insane and physical
wreck, owing to his immoderate use of CO.
coaine, and his wife and five children were
sent to hospitals disfigured for life and COM
pletely broken down in health by reason
of the experiments to which they were
subjected by the doctor. On Friday
Dr.. Bradley was taken before Judge
Prendegast to be tried for insanity
The evidence showed that he was fanatic
on the subject of cocoaine. His claim was
that he could inject the hydrOchlorate with
out pain, and remove the flesh without in
jury to the patient. He injected some of it
into his own arm, and then with red-hot
iron burned it out without flinching Some
more of it he injected into the wrist of
his, three-year-old child, and then with
knife cut out the flesh, the little
one apparently suffering no pain. He
used the drug promiscuously in the
family, and became himself a slave to
it, until in a little time his practice fell
away, and his family was reduced to want
Under the influence of the stuff he claimed
he was the discoverer, that it would revo-
lutionize medicine, and that the world would
recognize him as benefactor whose name
would go down to the ages. The victim grew
very exited in the Courtroom when he
realized his situation. In an agony of despair,
running up to the Court, and placing his
hand on the Judges shoulder. he cried:
you will kill my wife as sure as there is
a God in Heaven ] ask you as a man,
Judge Prendegast, to try the cocoaine, and
if am wrong then do with me as you
will" Dr.. Bradley commenced the Use of
cocoaine last May, but the drug soon
gained such complete control of him that
be neglected his practice and mortgaged
all he possessed, even his horse and buggy,
to pursue his favorte study. His
wife, an invalid, and his children
ruined in health, their condition was heart
rending in the extreme As an experiment
the victim was sent to the Washington
Home, but it is believed he will prove to be
hopelessly insane. Three of the children
were sent to st. Vincent's Hospital, and
his wife and the remaining two TO st.
Joseph. 1t is considered doubtful whether
any of them will ever recover their normal
condition.

THE QUELLING OF MODS.

Military Evolutions Which Are Being
Practiced at Chicago for that End.
CHICAGO, November 26-There was an
interesting scene on the lake front to-day,
Three hundred young men in fatigue uni
forms, armed with breech leaders, raced
and tore up and down in the green
sward and performed various remark
able evolutions Out in the road
way five hundred or more civil
ians watched their every movement
with interest. The individuals in uniforms
were representatives of the eight compan-
les of the First Regiment National Guard
Their evolutions were part of a new code
for the dispersion of lawless mobs and the
quelling of street riots, and the spectators
were for the most part members of the va
rious socialistic groups and revolutionary
organizations against whom the code may
some day have to be put into force. The
Socialists made no demonstration, but sew
eral prominent ones took copious notes OF
the evolutons.
