satSfdsy mental and physical wreck,
Wrought by the imiscd5rate use OF CO.
caine. Not caiy the patient himselk but
his entire family, consisting of wife and
five children, have been practically ruined
by his exee5see. On Friday the patient,
accompanied by some friends, was taken
before Judge Prendergsst. The insane
cases proper had been disposed OF, end
the affair was conducted az quietly as pls-
sible. 1t was shown that DR.. Bradley,
quite prominent physician, had been
addicted to the use of cocaine to such sn
extent as to render him practically insane.
The story was told that the doctor had,
under its influence, performed expert
ments on his family that have made them
PHYSICAL WRECKS
His claim was that he could inject the
hydrochlorate without psin and remove
the fesh without injury to the patient
He injected some 0: 1t into his own arm
and then with red hot iron burned it out
without fiinching. Some more OF it he in
jected into the wrist of his three year-old
child aud then With a knife cut out the
flesh, the little one apparently suffering no
pain. He used the drug promiscuously in
the family, and became himself slave to
it, until in a little time his practice fell
away ard his family was reduced to want
under the influence OF the stuff. He
claimed he was it's discoverer, thst it would
revoluntion medicine and that the
world would recognize in him benefsctor
whose name would go down to the ages.
He became fanstic on the subject, wild
dreamer. He mortgaged all he possessed,
even his horse and buggy, to pursue his
fanatical study. His wife an invalid, and
his children ruined in health, their condi-
ton was heartrending in the extreme.
The scene in the courtroom was dramatic
uation, and suddenly raising his voice to a
high pitch and becoming highly excited,
CALLED on GcD
to help convince the judge and the ply
sicians pre sent that his theory was right.
DR.. Wadsworth testified that he believed
the man inssne from the use OF cocaine
and morphine, and DR.. d. +. Brown, who
attended him, c9troborated DIR. Wade
worth, and thought DR.. Bradley should be
confined in an institution; that he be
lieved him helpless case of insanity, bur
as an experiment suggested that he be
sent to the WashiDgtonian Home, where
his case can be closely watched. It was
80 ordered. He commenced the habit
about the last of May, and it has gro own
on him gradually, until its elimination Is

Redmond, convicted of the murder of
Justice Cicero Stephens, at the last
term of the Fourteenth Judicial Dis
trict Court, held in and for Cameron

Tertiary for life. The crime for which
the accused was convicted was one of
the most heinous known to the law

which Redmond was convicted was
mainly obtained through confessions
said to have been made by him, and
circumstances which pointed to him
as the guilty party.
