The San Francisco call., 1897-07-07

erring and wavward Southern belle, ar
rived from Los Angeles as was expected,
and twenty minutes after the ferry steam
er touched the wharf she was locked IN the
arms of her daughter. ~,
1t was a complete reconclliatlon. MIS-.
Banning forgave everything, and, mother
like, promised to protect and commune 10
love her child as if nothing had ever nap-
pened. Upon the distracted mothers ar
rival at the Occidental Hotel she was
shown Immediately TO Mrs. Brado bury s
room.
The nurse who has been in attendance
uDon the runaway vile since she fell
victim to hysteria and nervous prostra-
tion, Tuesday, respectfully Withdrew from
the apartment, for sne foresaw the scene
that was certain to be enacted when
mother and daughter met. No one wit
messed this. but The swollen, tear-stalned
faces subsequently seen told OF an affect
ing interview.
Mrs Bradbury has promised her mother.
in fact vowed, that she will never again
countenance Wards attentions, nor even
tolerate his friendship. Sue says she Will
never speak to him nor permit him TO
speak 10 her.
In order that no possible communica-
tion from the Briton might reach her
rule has been tablished at the hotel
that all mssiyes, whether oral or writ
ten, and all mail matter directed 20 Mrs.
Brad bury shall be delivered directly into
the hands of Mrs. Banning, and to no
other person.
Ward made another attempt yesterday
to have a messenger-boy deliver note to
his loved one, but as was the case on the
day previous it was returned to him un-
opened.
Neither Mrs. Banning or Mrs. Bradb bury
would receive caller yesterday, outside
of Major Hooper-the proprietor OF the
hotel and an old friend of the Banning
family-and Attorney Gavin McNab. who
is looking out for the daughters interest
in court.
AS the result of the fearful strain that
this scandal has brought upon her, Mrs.
Banning is also prostrated and comm ed
to her bed. Like her daughter, she IS be-
ing attended by DR.. McNutt.
II have no doubt but that Ward would
like very much to break in here and en-
deavor to win back the woman he has so
shamefully disgraced, said Major Hooper
Yesterday; "but it will not be healthy for
him to call here. If the scoundrel does
I will guarantee to send him to hos
pital.
+ "In fact, | would advise him to bring
the Morgue wagon along with him. 1t
might save his friends the trouble OF send
ing for it. This whole thing is an out
rage. That poor woman and her mother
are both in bad way, and all due to this
fellows action.
but there has been complete recon
ciliation, and l can see happiness ahead
for the frail creature, who was so shame
fully dragged away from her home. Not
only has her mother taken her back to
her arms, but l also understand that she
will be welcomed back by her brothers
and sisters as well. This is as it should
be. 1t is charitab ble-it is humanity
Matters are looking rather blue for
Ward all around. With the repentance OF
Mrs Brad bury, her reconciliation with
her family, the pros spect of her appearance
as a witness in court against him and the
sympathy that invariably goes with the
woman in all sucn cases as this, 1t would
appear that this particular Lothario is
going to have a hard time OF it.
The following telegram, received yester-
day by Secretary Kane of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice, from a promi-
nent member of the California Club at
Los Angeles, gives an idea of the temper
ament of the people down that way:
"Sock it to Ward hard. Mrs. Bradbury
was surely demented, and completely con-
trolled by the brute. Deal kindly with
her. She needs sympathy rather than
punishment"
The cases of the elopers were called in
POllCe JuQE q Low court yeSleTudy MORN
Ing. As was predicted in The CALL. Mrs.
Brad bury did not put in an appearance, a
certificate from DR.. McNutt accounting
for her absence.
Bu. Ward was there, accompanied by
his counsel, Garret McEnerney, and asked
for a quick hearing. Mr.. McEnerney
thinks that he can dispose of the charge
against his client on a technicality.
The prosecution asked for further time,
however, as all the necess ary evidence to
show that both parties were married and
that they had maintained unlawful asso.
Citations had not as yet been secured.
After some parley Wards case was post
poned until tomorrow, and 1t was an
nounced that Mrs. Bradbury's examina-
tion-lf she is ever examined at all-will
take place after her lovers case is disposed
of.
Attorney James P. Sweeney, who is
conducting the prosecution on behalf OF
the society, said last evening that he
would have sufficient evid ence by to- NOR
row to hold Ward to answer for felony be-
fore the Superior Court.
He has certified copy OF Mrs. Brad
bury's marriage certificate, eye-witnesses
to Wards marriage and subpenas out for
several persons VINO will testify as to the
conduct of the couple on the train which
brought them from Los Angeles, as well
as to their doings after their arrival in
