OAKLAND MILLIONAIRE CHARGES LAW STUDENT FORGED NAME TO POWER OF ATTORNEY

From the Los Angeles Times
 May 30, 1913

On the verge of a nervous breakdown as the result of his arrest, Robert L. Bradford, a graduate of the University of California with the class of 1913, is held at the city prison pending the decision of H. H. Hart, Oakland multi-millionaire as to whether there will be a prosecution.

Bradford is accused of forging Hart’s name to a power of attorney.

At the city prison Bradford, a clean-cut, keen-looking young man, declined to discuss his predicament.

"I am ruined," was the burden of his statement.

He graduated from the College of Jurisprudence at the commencement exercises in May, at the Berkeley University, and is said to have shown unusual brilliancy in his studies.
