PROSECUTOR WANTS
BRADBURY IN JAIL
District Attorney Boyd Sends
Protest to Governor Against
Executive CIemency
[Speeial Dispatch 10 The COLL

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
SAN RAFAEL Aug. 21-whiIe VIII
liam B. Bradbury's friends and at
torney are making every effort TO gain
his pardon from Governor Gillett, Dis
trict Attorney Boyd, as prosecutor for
the people, is doing everything possible
to prevent such an act of c1emency.
Boyd received a telegram from the
governor today saying that Gill
lett would not act on the plea for a
pardon until he had thoroughly investi-
gated the district attorneys protest
and the evidence which has been sent
him. Boyd has sent the governor a
formal protest against the granting of
a pardon, citing many reasons why
the aged millionaire SHOULD not escape
from serving his one year sentence IN
San Quentin.
AS to Bradbury's statement that he
would not outlive his term Of impris-
onment. the district attorney says that
the same plea was made, three years
ago, at the time Bradbury was SEN
fenced and vet the millionaire is alive
and in good physical condition.
Bradbury was visited at the county
jail sloudy Dy attorney James w COCh-
rane and Miss Lenore Van Sickle the
old mans fayorite niece.
MIR. Bradbury is a nervous wreck
from the strain of these last few days
of waiting and uncertainty" said his
attorney. We are going to make de-
termined effort to save him from San
Quentin, as / am positive that it would
mean his DEATH"
Five champions in Bradbury's cause
will leave on the. steamer City of
Topeka for Eureka at 1920 tomorrow
morning 70 plead with the governor
They are Miss Van Sickle, and Attor-
neys Charles H. FairaI. James w
Cochrane. Nat. Coghlin and t. c.
Kierulff.
That his slate may be as clean as
possible, Bradbury paid another bill to-
day. Recently he paid DIR. Victor G.
Vecki 1852, on judgment secured
against him several years ago in order
as he said, ito avoid further trouble al
this time" Today he paid a claim OF
$40 which was in the hands of local
collection agency.
