No Favors for Mrs. Bradley.
Mrs. Bradley IS being treated as are all /
other prisoners at the District Jail. She |
has requested no special privileges and 1
Warden Harris yesterday that I
she would be satisfied with the same /
treatment and liberties allowed all other /
inmates. Mrs. Bradley is particularly I
anxious for a speedy trial

natural sleep she had had since the 4
