COL. JOHN BRADBURY.
Denies That He Intends to Effect a Reconciliation.
NEW YORK, July 14.—The "World" Says: John Bradbury of Los Angeles, the millionaire whose wife recently deserted him for H. Russell Ward, was interviewed by a "World" reporter after midnight this morning at the Hotel Marie Antoinette.
"I am sorry you have found me here," he said, "as I had wished to avoid further publicity in connection with this sad affair. However, what can I do for you?"
"Are the reports true?" he was asked, "that you have decided to forgive your wife, and that you are going to meet her in a few days and effect a reconciliation?"
"I have no intention whatever of doing so," he replied gravely, but emphatically.
"What are your plans?" he was asked.
"I intend to remain here for a few days," he said, "then I shall go to Europe for a rest."
"Will you take any proceedings against Mr. Ward, physical or legal?"
"No," he answered. "I don't think it worth while to do so."
"Will you institute divorce proceedings against your wife?"
"I have no intention of getting a divorce from her," he answered. "The fact is, I am tired of this whole affair, and simply want to get away from it."
"Have you heard that Mrs. Ward has cabled money to her husband in San Francisco, and is going to return to him?"
"No," answered Colonel Bradbury, "and I don't care anything about them. I have said all I care to now."
