The San Francisco call., 1897-07-04

the State Prison not exceeding five years.
1--WE have gone into the case TO push 1t
with all the energy that it warrants. and
l see no reason why we cannot punish
these people as they deserve"
After securing the warrants Kane, ac-
com panied by T. ]. Coleman, who is Off
cially attached to the society, went to
Marchand's restaurant on Grant avenue,
as he had learned that the couple had
gone there after being expelled from the
Fairmount Hotel.
Coleman found Mrs. Bradbury in room
with an employe of the Examiner. He
informed her that she was under arrest.
| She did not seem in the least disconcerted
and smilingly asked upon what charge.
Coleman informed her, and she said,
well, OF course | don't know anything
about the law, and suppose l will have
to go with you" The employe of the
Examiner at this time thought it incum-
bent upon him to hastily take his de-
| parture.
by the way" she said after the Ex-
amlner emp!oye had lett, ''who swore to
the warrant?'
"McKane of the Pacific Coast Society
for the Suppression OF Vice." replied Cole
man. "Just wait minute or two and he
will join u.s."
Kane had been searching for Ward but
could not find him. and when he joined
| Coleman and Mr.. Bradb bury, she re-
marked: II suppose this is one of the
| uncomfortable things you have to do in
your business. You know the law and l
| don't, so L suppose it is all right"
| Kane replied that he had lots of un-
comfortable things to DO in his business,
| and instructed Coleman to take Mrs
| Bradbury to the Citv Prison, while he re.
| mained to wait for Wards return.
They walked to Market street and
boarded McAllistsr-sIreet car. All the
way Mr.. Bradbury chatted with the Of
| ficer and seemed to look upon her arrest
| as huge joke.
When they entered the prison Sergeant
Brown, the desk sergeant, was handed the
warrant and Mrs. Bradbury answered all
his questions as to her name, age, birth
| place and occupation with readiness and
| fippancy.
| The sergeant asked her if she expected
! to be released on bonds and she replied
that she hop SO. She would send
| message TO a friend who she thought
would get her released on bonds. The
| sergeant rang for messenger boy and
then asked her to hand him her m oney
! jewelry and watch, which he would return
| to her when the order for her discharge
| was received.
| While she was handing over her per-
| sonal property she observed that an artist
was taking sketch of her, and she did

| a satisfactory view OF her profile.
Just as she had finished handing over
her effects the telephone bell rang and
| Sergeant Brown called 10 her that the
| City editor of the Examiner wished to
talk with her. She went to the telephone
and replied 10 something said to her
through the phone with Thank you,
very much" AS she turned round there
| was gratifed smile on her face.
| The messenger boy came in and she
| took some time to write N essage, which
she ultimately finished and hanied to the
boy. Then she gave herself up 10 be in.

know what 10 think about this new de-
velopment | am here and will have to
make the best of it. OF course it is hu-
initiating position to be placed in, but
then 1t is all in lifetime, you know. l
don't care how long they keep me here it
| they would only give me some one to talk
| to. You know / hate to be alone"
She chatted on in free and easy way
about the scantiness of her wardrobe and
suddenly asked: who is the reporter of
| THE CALL?'
| The reporter made himself known to
her and she said not at. all severely:
What made THE CALL say this morning
that | am proud OF the notoriety ! have
achieved?"

"Wh by, no, she said, Eat least l don't
| think l ever said so. But, you know, l
saw so many reporters last night"
| Then sne drifted into something else,
and was interrupted by an Examiner en-
| ploye, who had driven to the prison in a
hack. Breathlessly he said to her, "Ex-
cuse me, Mrs. Bradbury, have an impor-
tant message for YOU" She rose and
walked with him to another part of the
prison, where they remained in earnest
conversation.
Meantime Ward, accompanied by an
| other Examiner employe, had driven to
| police head dquarters and surrendered him
self to Captain Bohen. The captain cour-
| teously told him that if he thought he
| could procure bondsmen ne would send
an officer with him SO that he need not be
| locked up in the prison. Ward thanked
| him. and was taken to the prison by an
| officer accom- panied by the Examiner en-
| ploye.
Ward strobe up to Mrs. Bradbury and
they shook hands. They had a brief con-
yer, alton and Ward walked up to The
desk to be registered. He was not nearly
| so composed as the lady and seemed wor-
| ried and anxious.
| After being booked he informed Ser.
| geant Brown that he would get bonds, so
| the sergeant dispensed with the necessity
| of searching him. except 10 ask him to
| hand over a revolver or knife. He pulled
| a pocket-knife out of his;vest pocket and
gave it to the sergeant with the remark:
1T isn't deadly weapon"
Ward and the Examiner emplove
| walked from the desk and took seats be-
side Mrs. Bradbury, one each side of
her. AS they were conversing Judge Low
entered the prison, and, on Mrs. Brad
bury being pointed out to him, he walked
UP to her and said: MRS. Bradbury,
have decided TO release you on your own
| recognlzance."
Are you not afraid that might run
away?' she asked laughingly.
well" said the Judge, that must de-
pend upon yourself. / have TO trust to
your honor. Have you any hope OF get
ting bonds?"
II may get bonds" she replied, "but if
you care TO release me on my own recognl-
zance 1 will feel obliged. l don't want to
go, however, unless Mr.. Ward goes with
me-"
"If release you on your own recogni-
zance," said the Judge, you can assist
