Thomas Bradshaw Of Sugar Notch Slain In Woods Mysteriously (Continued From Page 1.) Miss Balla's account of the murder was closely checked. She was not positive of the time it occurred and could say that it was just turn ing dark. Neither she nor Brad- haw had a searchlight and they In retort! to their automobile when the shot was fired. She pointed out that Bradshaw was wearing a brown shirt that could easily have been mistaken for the color of a deer when the beam of a flashlight was played upon it and it was she who first I called attention to possibility that someone hunting deer illegally in that vicinitv had fired the fatal shot. The bullet struck the side of Bradshaw's left shoulder and took an almost parallel course to emerge between thp neck and right shoulder.

It severed the jugular vein and the corodit artery and caused instant death, an autopsy by Dr. I. C. Morgan, county coroner, and Dr. B.

S. Davis, of Plymouth, revealed today. Bullet Sought Milet Butts and John Denipsey, county detectives, and John J. Broski and Charles A. Connolly, State troopers, revisited the scene today to search for the bullet and to scan the vicinity for tracks of the assassin.

It was impossible to make a careful search of the grounds in the dark. The bullet is looked upon as the most clinching bit of evidence to prosecute the slayer when he is apprehended. On Mountain With Rrnlhpr The deputy game protector and nis brother, Richard Bradshaw, spent yesterday on tfald Mountain. which is about two and one-half miles irom the scene of thp prime but found no game violations, and returned home in early afternoon. Richard Bradshaw said his brother took his rifle and went out again about 5 clock without stating where he was going.

The brother said he knew of no one who might harbor a grudge against, i nomas and did not know of any enmities he might have oc curred during the course of exer cise of his duties. He told authori ties his brother was too good a woodsman to shoot himself accidentally. The position of the wound practically discounted suicide as a theory. While no suspicion was voiced against Miss Balla, she was detained at Wyoming barracks pending a comparison of the bullet that killed Bradshaw with the type of cartridge in his rifle and pending thorough search for another weapon. She showed a readiness to make a statement of what she knew of the circumstances and seemed as anxious as police to solve the mystery of Bradshaw's death.

Bradshaw was a lifelong resident ct Sugar Notch and was widelv known in his home town and among sportsmen oi mis pari oi tne State. He was a widower, the father of a boy, Joseph, aged 13, whose mother died twelve vears agoHe was- a member of- Strl Charles unurcn.

I i a said to me: 'hit her again," and this I did." Both Gladys and Donald stood mute and listless during the brief arraignment. Both seemed tired. Neither showed emotion. Courtroom observers believed the full gravity of their predicament was not yet realized by either. A defiant exrjression nlavprl nn Gladys' soft features, however, as she almost strutted from the courtroom after the arraignment.

In shari contrast, worried wrinkles furrowed Donald's brow.

The neighbor also brought nome-cooKea Breakfast which Gladvs consumed with relish. Text of Confession Here is the confession of Gladys to the murder, as given to Captain of Detectives Thomas J. McGrath: "At 2:30 yesterday afternoon I met Donald at Hendricksons (a beer tavern at 31st street and Broadway, Bayonne).

We had three or four beers apiece and then went to a delicatessen to get some cold cut for dinner. "We left there about 4:30 and went home. Donald and I were going to play tennis with two other people at 6 o'clock and when we went home mother and I had an argument over dinner while Donald was upstairs in the bathroom. "I hurried mother about dinner. She told me if I wanted it to get myself.

We quarreled and mother picked up the bread knife as yun.ua waiKea into the kitchen. He grabbed her and I picked up a hatchet which I had brought up from the cellar to tack down the stairway carpet. "While Donald held her I hit her over the head with the hatchet several times. She fell down and ia.y moaning, uonald kept yelling: 'Hit her again! Hit her "So I leaned over and hit her again with the hatchet. Then we pushed the table over to hide her body from the rear windows.

We wc it upstairs then to wash the blood off our hands. It was ter-I nble. I saw so much blood I didn't know what to do. "Then Donald and I left the nouse and went over to French's house (79 West 33rd street). I wanted to see Doris French.

They were eating dinner in the back of their nouse ana i went in the front and Ldiiea ior uons. i told her I had 1 something to tell her, and the two weni upstairs. I told her that mother was dead and I didn't know what I was going to do. Pretty soon Mrs. French came ud the stairs and then Mr.

French came up. I told them tha. mother was dead and the irenchs told me that I should go and get a doctor. "Mr. French went out and got Donald from the car and made him promise to take me home and get a doctor.

"But when we left French's house we drove north out of Bayonne and stoooed at a beer garden where we had several beers and got some sandwiches to take with us. "Another time we stopped to get gasoline. We drove up Route 29 through Plainfield but when we got to Somerville we turned around. I'd convinced Donald it would be best for us to go back and tell what happened. "So we drove back to Jersey City wher a radio policeman caught us."
