DELIAH BRADLEY BITTER IN
TALK OF FOSTER

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 17.-Deliah Brad
ley, the 16-year-old girl who eloped
with Joel M. Foster, millionaire New
Jersey poultry man, left with her
father for her home in Pemberton,
N. j., and though she had previously
resisted every effort to induce her to
return home and insisted she would
stick to her 40-year-old affinity, a
married man, she was almost eager
for the railroad trip and almost bitter
in speaking of Foster.
Foster faces not only white slave"
charges in the federal courts, but also
a serious allegation made under the
state law.
