MRS. BRADBURY TOO I'LL TO APPEAR.
The Lothario Will Have an 0ppor-

Unless H. Russell Ward can produce
some powerful evidence in defense, he
STANDS a brilliant chance to be held to
answer before the Superior Court for his
illicit relations with Mrs. John Bradbury,
the woman he induced to desert her
millionaire husband and home of luxury
in Los Angeles.
All OF yesterday and a portion of last
night was consumed in Police Judge Lows
court in the hearing of evidence that the
officers of the Society for the Suppression
of Vice had gathered against the Briton,
and all day it looked as though he was
going to have a veritable walkover in
escaping from the clutches of thu law.
He had Garret McEnerney there to
look after his interests, and that gentle
man, too, was brimfull of confidence in
his ability to summarily dispose of the
charge without even having TO go to the
trouble of offering any evidence in de-
fense. 1t was, therefore, an unexpected
and disconcerting blow to them when the
court, after seeming to lean toward the
defense all through the examination. re-
fused to discharge the defendant and
added $1,000 10 his BAIL
What Ward defense will be, or can be,
is now puzzling those who have been fol-
lowing the details OF his escapade, for
Judge Low practically decide ed last night
that sufficient evidence had been adduced
to warrant holding Ward for jury trial
in the upper tribunal.
Ana here's another thing: What will
be Mrs. Brad bury's chances of escape if
her lover is held2 The evidence brought
out yesterday bears against her just a
heavily as it does against Ward. She was
too i'll to appear in court and give her
promised evidence against Ward, and
there ore must have sacrificed her chances
for immunity on that score.
AS might be expected, there was big
crowd in the courtroom to hear the de-
tails of the scandal-so much of a crowd
that on two different occasions Judge Low
was compelled TO order the place cleared
OF all persons except those who had busi-
ness there. Ward was naturally the CEN
Ter of attraction, but all the staring and
whispered com ments upon his makeup
seemed 10 have no sibe effect upon him.
Throughout the long session he sat and
gazed vacantly ahead OF him like one in
trance.
Attorney Sweeney did not have we'll
prepared case to begin with. His wit
aesses were tardy about arriving in court,
he was uncertain as to the evidence they
we're going to give, and be was com PEELED
to present the case for the prosecution in
a tangled and wrong-end-to fashion. And
besides this, Judge Low put himself on
record early in the proceedings as being
disposed to admit only such evidence as
would show that the elopers, and particu-
larly Ward, bad not sought to conceal

The court was about to follow up this
ruling by holding Ward to answer, when
he was reminded by Mr.. McEnerney that
a mere motion was being passed upon and
that Ward sill had the right to offer tes-
timony in his defense.
"Oh. yes; to be sure" said Judge Low.
II was forgetting that"
Mr.. McEnerney then asked that the
case go over until tomorrow morning
In order to give him an opportunity 10
prepare the defense. This request was
granted.
Before allowing Ward to leave the
courtroom Judge Low raised the bail from
$1,000 to $1,000. and the defendants counsel
gave his personal guarantee that the ad-
dltlonal amount would be forthcoming
this morning.
