TIC day began with a continuance
of the ostimony Of j. B. Reilly, who
lived near the Bradley apartments in
Washington street. Reilly declared
he had passed the apartment house
but few minutes before the eXplo'
sion and saw a japanese servant
cleaning the stoop and vestibule. He
did not believe 1t was within the
range of possibility for any one to
have placed bomb there in the
manner indicated by Orchard in the
time which elapsed between his
passing and the report of the ex-
plosion. Orchard testified that after
placing the bomb he boarded street
car and got cut of hearing before the
explosion occurred.
The next deposition taken up was
that of Mrs. Charles Pickard, who
as Mrs. Grow had been employed by
the Bradleys as cook. She told of
having smelled gas in the house for
several days prior to the explosion
and called up the gas company to
complain of 1t
John j. Eckelman, member of the
San Francisco fire department, who
was with the company which re-
sponded to a fire alarm following the
explosion at the Bradley house told
Of smelling gas strongly when he ar
rived at the seem. The explosion
was not a sharp report, as he remem-
bered it, but loud roar
Several other members of the fire
department gave testimony similar
to that Of Eckelman. One of these,
John w. Parry, said he had had con-
siderable experience with dynamite
explosions and they differed in sound
and effect from that at the Bradley
apartment.
All of the firemen said they heard
but one explosion. Parry declared
that the explosion at the Bradley
apartment was louder than most gas
explosions he had heard.
Joseph Vincent De La veaga, an
attorney of San Francisco, who occu-
pied the apartment directly under the
Bradleys, told in his deposition OF
having smelled gas in the vestibule
Of the house six or seven days prior
to the explosion.
