NO Clue TO men
Who BEAT BRADLEY
Police Are in the Dark
in Case OF Aged
Watchman
VICTIM is NOT
EXPECTED TO LIVE

Despite the efforts OF physicians at
the Delaware Hospital, Samuel Brad
ley. the 76-year-old waichman OF the
Delaware Pulp Mills, who was found
unconscious at that plant carly sat
urday morning with a fractured skull
and other injuries, remains in a coma
slate and all efforts TO arouse him
have failed The aged man IS grad
ually growing weaker and his death
is expected hourly.
As result OF the mans condition
the police force is handicapped and it
was admitted today that unless a
statement could be secured from Brad
ley before he died, they would have
little chance Of finding the sssailanis
Of the aged man.
Just why the man should have been
attacked IS mystery TO the police
as he still had S2O9 on his person when
found, but whether his wages received
when he went on duty were. stolen Is
not known. The aged man was known
90 usually hide his wages about the
plant and when he left in the morning
10 take it with him.
What has puzzled the authorities
about the brutal assault is why the as
sallanis should have attacked the aged
man directly in the path or large
electric light, where they could have
been seen, when by waiting for Brad
ley to have punched the time clock at
the pump house in the marsh. they
could have waylaid him as he passed
huge pile OF lumber where il was
totally dark. This would seem TO in
dicate that they were strangers. The
club found near Bradleys' body, while
smcared with blood in the center. has
no blood on the butt, and II this was
used it was not The only one that
struck the man, as his head and
shoulders were badly lacerated.
While the finding OF the broken UNI
brella rod carried by Bradley as a walk
ING stick would indicate that nc used
it 10 defend himself, il was admitted
today that 10 would not have been
broken so clearly in four parts in
struggle between two men. The police
are inclined to think that who ever
broke the rod did so in a flt OF temper
after 70 had been taken from Bradley.
The clue that a man had been seen
coming from the direction Of the plant
on the morning OF the assault was run
down by Patrolmsn LaskOwski who
found that this man was employed at
the Gas Company plant. When ques-
toned. the man said he had not seen
anyone on Saturday morning on his
way from work.
With The removal Of this clue. ths
search has simmered down 10 two mer.
thought to have been fishermen seen
by Joseph Pierce, the other watchmsn
at the plant prior to the assault on
Bradley. Thinking that these men
might have been residents OF the
Eleventh ward, detectives have made
a search Of that section and found the
owners OF all dipnets used by fisher
men. All Of the owners Of such nets
have proved alibis. however.
Pierce is not certain that the men he
saw had a net and this has raised a
doubt in the minds Of the police at
woCk on the case that the attack was
made by fishermen.
70 was admitted today that the case
is shrouded in mystery and with no
clues TO work on the authorities are at
sea.

INTEREST AGAIN CENT'ERED
IN SPECIAL MOVEMENTS
Signs Of DSntegruon in Steel Strikers Forces Constant
Shifting of Position by Traders

New York. Sept. 26.-Today's mar
ket comprised largely a collection Of
special movements. As in the preCpd
ing sessions trading was almost entirely
confined to the professional contingent
and the shifting Of position of this plc-
ment at intervals gave the list a distinct
two sided aspect. Altogether, however,
there was not the slightest diminish
mcnt in the undcrtonc of strength
which has characterized the daily opera
tions since the Inauguration Of the steel
strike
New high records were made in n
number Of issues and advances were
recorded ranging from 3 to over Is
points in large number of issues. with
many stocks selling at the highest price
touched in long period.
As far as the strike was concerned
the market community read more
clearly than on the preceding days the
signs of n gradual disintegration of the
strikers forces. In fact. the opinion
was openly voiced in better Informed
financial circles that the position Of the
big steel companies was more favorable
than at any time since tho fight
started. The impression prevailed that
the strikers had weakened rather than
helped their cause in tho testimony
given before the Senate labor com
mittee. The decision Of the Bethlehem
Steel management was also regarded as
favorable in that if will help tO bring
the matter more quickly to head.
