BRADLEY And
THAW CASES
Stories Of TTanSereSsiOn, DeS-

tanCe and Punishment
WOMAN HAS NO RESOURCES
TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
BY THE JoURNAL's Special wire.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-During the
suspension Of the trial Of Mrs. Anna
Bradley. curious parallels are being
drawn between the story to be told in
this case and that which was unfold
ed at the spectacular trial Of Harry
Kendall Thaw.
Both are stores Of rctribution taken
into human hands Both involve
transgression, despair ana repentance
and punishment. the measure OF
which has been taken in neither case
Yet in other respects. they differ
widely.
Mrs. Bradley possesses none of the
physical charm which was one of the
underlying motifs of the Thaw tragedy
But of her attractivencas there can be
no question. IL shows itself most
strilslngly in the deep, dark eyes,
which give expression TO the excep-
tional personality beneath. Her at
tainments are those of intellect rather
than of beauty. In temperament she
is of the order of womanlinoss which
lies in sympathy and unselnshness In
her story there viii be no narrative of
love In idleness, of pleasure in travel
or i'm luxury Her love in which shc
knew the fullness of her transgrcssion
has persisted up TO the time Of ner
trial.
Mrs. Bradley comes to court with no
resources. while I'm the Thaw case they
We're almost unlimited There IS no
disposition on her part to modify the
blame which Is hers. by an appeal 10
her ignorance. She does not choose
TO affect any attitude whatever
According TO stories drifting here
from Utah, the light TO be thrown upon
the character OF ex-senator Brown
may reveal traits not entirely dis
similar TO those attributed TO the
victim In the rhaw case.
Court attaches are to-day scrvlnf
summonses on 100 additional talesmen
so that when the trial resumes to.
morrow. It is thought there win be 8
sufficient number of men from which

TO TEST LOCAL OPTION
Law in THE COURTS
Kent and Sussex Liquor Men Have Decided to
Bring Up the Issue-FOrmcr Fights Over
ProhibitOry Measures

probability will be the method employed
to determine whether or not the law is TO
stand and whether Kent and Sussex eoun-
ties are to become dry" or continue
wet"
Former Tests in the Courts.
There have been two tests heretofore
in Delaware of temperance legislation. and
the ablest lawyers of the state.were found
on both sides Of the legal controversy.
The legislature Of 1Sf7 passed local OPP
ton law and it was attacked through the
case OF Rice VS.. Foster, which is fully re-
ported I'm Fourth Harrington Reports,
page 40. James A. Bayard, John Wales
and John NJ Clayton were counsel for
Rice. and N. b. Smithers, Edawrd G..
Bradford and c. S. Layton. were counsel
forsFoster The local option law then was
declared unconstitutional on the ground
that the Legislature could not delegate
its powers The old constitution did not
contain a local option provision, but the
present constitution, ordained in 1897 con-
tains a local option clause. The conten-
ton probably will be made by the liquor
dealers in the present contest, however
that the local option law is not framed in
accord with the delegated powers Of the
constitution.
Another Legal Suit.
Another noteworthy legal test occurred in
1856 when the "Maine Law" that was en-
acted by the Legislature Of Delaware
the previous year was fercely assailed
m the courts. The Legislature in Febru-
ary 1855. enacted prohibition law for
Delaware similar to that in Maine, and
popularity known as the MAINE law"
This was attacked in the Court Of Gem
'eral Sessions in this county at the May
term, 1856. coming up through the case
fthe State VS.. Almond. Counsel on both
sides comprised the most brilliant law
yers of the day and the issue was ably
fought by both SIDES.
The state was represented by James
A. Bayard, who afterward became United
States Senator; John Wales, Joseph p.
Comegys who afterward became Chief
Justice of the State and Willard Sauls-
bury, who became United States Senator
and Chancellor Of the State. For the de-
fense the counsel comprised Daniel NJ
Bates who afterward became chancellor
n. B. smithers. Edward c. Bradford, who
lafterward became Federal Judge; and c.
s. Layton who also became a judge In
this litigation the law was declared 20 be
constitutional. 1t afterward was repealed
ythe legislature.

away I'm the Union National Bank be-

possessed, and now an additional $500
has been unearthed. II was found on
deposit In the Artisans Savings Bank,
at Fifth and Market streets. and when

amount was only a little more than
$500, but, accommodating interest has
brought the amount up TO almost sf0e.

The interest from which was 10 be
used to buy coal for the poor5 and
needy IN cold weather City Treasurer
Ross refused TO say to-day who male
the beouest. as he did not have all the
data he desired in connection with The
matter.
The finding Of the money was pri-
marily due to John $. Iossell, of the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany. He and Mr.. Ross attended a
dinner recently agiven by President
LeIanne, Of the National Board Of
Trade. and on the train the two got
to talking about trust funds of the
city Mr. Rossell then spoke Of the
$500 fund. and when Mr. Ross. made an
Investigation at the office Of the city
treasurer he found no record of the
bequest. He again took the matter up
with Mr.. Rossell, which resulted in
finding the money in the Artisans
Bank
Mr.. Rossell knew of the money be-
cause the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company once acted as re>
ceiver for a building and loan associa-
tion in which the coal fund 'bequest
was invested.
