esley Russell Ward. for such is the full
name of Mrs. Bradbury's English friend,
was today arraigned before Judge Low.
Mrs. Bradbury was also to have been
present, but doctors certificate handed
to the court by her attorney explained
that she was in no fit condition for the
ordeal, and at counsers request her case
was continued until next Friday.
The prosecution was not ready to go
on with Wards case and, in spite of the
protests of his attorney, a continuance
was granted until Thursday.
Police Judge Lows court was crowded
to suffocation long before 10 o'clock.
When the judge arrived he called for po
| licemen and had part of the crowd
driven ont into the corridors and part of
it herded compactly into a corner of the
room.
| When Wards case was called he was
not in court, but his attorney informed
| the judge that he was in the building
and if it was necessary could be pro-
duced in two minutes. Judge Low said
it would be better to have him there in
order that he might be arraigned and
instructed
Ward had made change in his ward
robe and looked particularly smart He
was perfectly COOL but just trifie bored
looking. After the formal arraignment
he informed the court that the name in
the warrant was incorrect, and he would
like to have it changed.
Asked what his correct name was, he
replied: well, you know, I'm afraid
you wouldn't be able to spell it If told
you. I'm very particular about me
name, and if you like I'll write it for
you.'' And he wrote "Wriothesley Rus.

Attorney Sweeny for the prosecution
requested continuance for a week.
Garrett McEnerney, Wards attorney,
objected, saying he was ready to go on
with the case right away. He de-
manded reasons from the prosecution
for their inability to proceed
| My client came to this city as trav-
eler, and it is not fair to him to delay
the hearing of this charge any longer
than necessary"
Sweeny explained that the prosecution
would require a little time to obtain
certain evidence, particularly proof of
the marriage of Mrs. Bradbury and also
| of Ward. McEnerney said they were
willing to admit these things, but the
prosecution rejected his offer, as, being
a felony case, such admissions could not
go on the record.
| The continuance asked for was then
granted and Ward took his departure.
! After leaving the court room Ward
went down to the city prison, where he

He was asked whether he had made
any plans for the future He said his
only thought was to get out of this
| wretched mess and then get away to
some place where there were fewer

he knew how sick Mrs. Bradbury was,
he answered that he didn't know, and
| added: ''Weally, me own affairs so dis
twess me that I haven't had time to
think much about her."

secure the seclusion of herself and
daughter for the remainder of the day,

ieVed now that the impetuous young
woman realizes her position.
| Il cannot talk of this affair" said
Mrs. Banning. For thirty years the
family name of Banning has been held
| high in the community. Now it has
been dragged through this awful scan
oal.
Il have no plans-I don't know what
shall do-everything is so upset Jus.
now.
There is one thing certain-I would
not have come to Mrs. Bradbury unless
Ward had been sent away. That is DOS

"All this shame has been heaped upon
my family. l cannot talk of my daugh-

see her. and then the future may shape
itself. cannot tell what We shall do"
Mrs Banning went directly to her
daughters apartments al the Occidental
