BRADFORD SUES HIS WIFE.
She Is the "Finsnoier" Who
Swindled Brooklynites
He Says He Gave %, 400 to Her
to Invest for Him.

William H. Bradford, OF 65s Bedford
avenue, Brooklyn, the husband of Kate
c. Bradford, the Williamsburg financier
who ran away after swindling her
neighbors and friends out of something
like s2SO,00O, has begun suit against her
to recover $500. which. he claims, she
swindled him out of.
Mrs. Bradford's whereabouts are I'M
known. She left Brooklyn on May 8
last. and Mr.. Bradford. in the papers,
says he has not heard from her since.
She pretended to loan money to
school teachers from month to month
and paid her victims who advanced the
money per cent. Some OF them got
out Of the scheme before the crash
came. but others lost all they had MIR.
Bradford claims to be among the latter.
After Mrs. Bradford's departure 1t was
learned that her borrowing school-teach-
ers were myths. She had been carry
ing on the business for two years. but
Mr.. Bradford did not get in the game
until Feb. 10 last. He then, ne says
gave 50. 400 to his wife to Invest for him
which he believes she has appropriated
to her own use.
This Is the first suit brought against
Mrs. Bradford. 1t was generally sup
posed that she was without property. and
had turned everything into ready money
just previous to her departure.
