Second threat letter surfaces
by man wanting left’s return
United Press International
NEW YORK — Secret Service
agents fearing copycat assassina
tion attempts on President Reagan
Thursday investigated similarities
between two letters that threaten
his life and promise to turn Amer
ica to the “left.”
An anonymous letter mailed
from Grand Junction, Colo., to
“The Evangelist” magazine in
Baton Rouge, La. —- five days be
fore Reagan was shot — contained
wording almost identical to that of
a letter found Monday and
allegedly written by Edward
Richardson, the gunman arrested
Tuesday for threatening the presi
dent, law enforcement sources
said.
Richardson, 22, of Drexel Hill,
Pa., is charged with threatening
Reagan s life in the letter that
promised to complete the work
started by John Hinckley, 25, who
is accused of shooting Reagan in
Washington March 30.
David Hail, a spokesman for
the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, who
owns “The Evangelist,” said the
unsigned letter received by the
magazine March 30 said, “Ronald
Reagan will be shot to death and
the country will turn to the left. ”
In the other letter, recovered
Monday from Richardson’s hotel
room in New Haven, Conn., the
unemployed laborer is accused of
writing, “Ultimately, Ronald
Reagan will be shot to death and
this country turned to the ‘left.’”
A federal law enforcement
source said Wednesday investiga
tors were aware of the similarities
between the letters and “an active
investigation is being conducted. ”
Both Hinckley and Richardson
were in Lakewood, Colo., a sub
urb of Denver, in early March but
the Secret Service said no evi
dence of any links between the
two had turned up.
“We have not been able to
establish anything that shows any
connection between those two,”
said James S. Griffiths, head of the
Denver office. He added, it had
not been officially established if
their visits overlapped.
Authorities said Richardson
had stayed at a Lakewood apart
ment with his two sisters from
mid-December until early March.
Hinckley stayed in the Golden
Hours motel in Lakewood from
March 8 until March 23, and then
returned to his family’s home in
Evergreen, Colo.
Authorities say Hinckley flew
out of Denver March 25, the day
the Colorado letter was sent, to
begin a cross-country odyssey that
ended with the shooting in
Washington.
Grand Junction, where the
“Evangelist” threat was mailed, is
halfway across the state from De
nver.
Agents investigating
Richardson case said Wednesd
the publicity over Hinckley's
Richardson’s plans could inspin
series of disturbed people
mount copycat assassinafc
attempts.
“Incidents like this havealiij
a snowball effect,” said one age-

Richardson, who is being
on $500,000 bail in the Metroj#
tan Correctional Center in Mt
hat tan, appeared at a brief kean
Wednesday in U.S. DistrictCtt
in Manhattan and an order
signed allowing the suspect tog
examined by a psychiatrist.
Richardson’s lawyer, J. Edward
Meyer said that his client was at
his parents’ home in Drexel Hill
“for the week ending March 30”
when Reagan was shot.

WASHINGTON — Presidential press sec
retary James Brady should be able to resume
his job when he heals from a bullet that ripped
through his brain, doctors said Thursday.
The White House called his recovery “no
thing short of a miracle.”
Doctors “fully expect Brady to be able to
resume his profession,” said Dr. Dennis O’Le
ary, spokesman for George Washington
Medical Center.
“I told him, ‘Everyone is pulling for you
here,”’ Speakes said. “‘We’ve got everything
under control. ”
“Fine,” he quoted Brady as replying.
Brady also talked by telephone to Peter
Teeley, Vice President George Bush’s press
secretary and an old friend from his days on
Capitol Hill. Speakes said the two men teas-
ingly “discussed a shark fishing trip this
summer.

United Press International
NEW YORK — The body of
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, the
“G.I.’s General,” was flown to El
Paso on a presidential jet Thurs
day for the first of the nation’s
farewell salutes to its last five-star
general.
Bradley, who led American
forces ashore at Normandy during
the D-Day invasion of World War
II and commanded four armies in
their sweep across Europe against
the German Third Reich, died in
New York Wednesday of a cardiac
arrest. He was 88.
The general had been rushed to
St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in
Manhattan complaining of chest
pains after a dinner at the 21 Club
with his wife, Kitty, and three
aides. He was pronounced dead at
the hospital.
A spokesman for the Army said
Bradley will be viewed over the
weekend in the main chapel at
Fort Bliss, where the general and
his wife lived for many years.
The body will be flown to the
nation’s capital on Monday where
it will lie in state in the National
Cathedral.
On Tuesday, the general’s body
will be borne through downtown
Washington on an Army caisson to
Arlington National Cemetery
where he will be buried with full
military honors.
Bradley was also the first chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
But he was prouder of his nick-
