ORDER OF TRANSFER MADE
Special TO The Iferaldl

Washington. D. c., July 10.-Mrs. Annie
NJ. Bradley. now confined in the district
Jan, awaiting trial on an Indictment charg-
ing her with first degree murder in con-
nection with the death Of former Senator
Arthur NJ. Brown of Utah last Deem
Der, will be removed to Providence hos
pital tomorrow to undergo a surgical op-
Grafton.
Permission was today given Warden
Harris of the district jail for the removal
or his prisoner. Justice Wright who is
acting chief justice of the district SUI
preme court, sent a letter TO the warden,
in which he authorized Mrs. Bradleys
transfer to the hospital, with the injunc
tlon, Not forgetting, however. that she
IS in your custody as warden of the Jail.
This caution means that some female
employe of the Jail or trusted friend of
the warden viii be near Mrs. Bradley
during her period of cOnvalescence at
providence hospital DR.. II. l.. z. john
son. who will perform the operation, is
reported TO have said that ii will prob
ably take Mrs. Bradley a month or six
weeks TO recover from its effects.
No formal court proceeding OF applica-
ton was necessary today in the matter
of securing the transfer of Mrs. Brad
ley from the Jail to Providence hospital.
Attorneys Wells, Hoover and Wells, local
counsel for Mrs. Bradley. visited Justice
Wright in his private office at the city
han and were shown communication re-
Ceived by the court from the warden. en-
closing a letter to the Jail official from
DR.. d. X. Shute, physician at that insti-
tuition. setting forth the Imperative need
Of an operation on Mrs. Bradley and the
lack of facilities at the district Jail for
such surgical work.
Operation Is Necessary.
In his letter to the warden Dr. Shute
said: Some weeks ago at your request
! had occasion to make an examination
Of Mrs. Bradley with a view of ascer-
tanning her present physical condition.
l found that she had TO be operated upon.
! still am of the opinion that this opera
ton would very materially improve the
health of Mrs. Bradley. As you are aware,
We have no facilities in Jail for perform
ing serious important surgical opera
lions. and if this operation is to be per
formed il ought to be done in some hos
pitaL''
Warden Harris in his letter addressed
10 the chief justice, said that if it was
in accord with the court views he might
remove the prisoner to Providence hos
pital. Justice Wright decided that no
formal court order was necessary, and
that a letter to the warden would be suf-
fieient authority for the latter's cOntem-
plated action.
The court was Of the opinion that the
warden might have transferred the prIS-
Oner on his own initiative. as he is the
one charged by law with the custody of
persons committed to Jail, and is only re
spOnsible for their appearance at trial.
Mrs. Bradley has been suffering from
the trouble which now requires an op-
Grafton ever since she came to Wash
.ington, but did not inform her counsel
until recently, when she began to evidence
breakdown DR.. Johnson was consult
ed by Mrs. Bradley's attorneys, and il
was on his earnest solicitation that the
consultation was held.
Attorneys Wells, Hoover and Wells to-
day stated that it is not likely that bail
will be asked for Mrs. Bradley, as she
has not funds to secure bOndsmen. When
she RECEIVERS from the effects of the Op-
GRAFTON she will be returned to Jail to
await the beginning of her trial. which
is set for October !. almost Immediately
after court convenes for the fan term.
