The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-12-17

was locked in the arms of the weeping
cook, who kissed her repeatedly.
'Oh, am glad you came, Freda,
dear" was the happy exclamation, as
the girl kissed Freda on the cheek
repeatedly. Then they embraced and
both wept.
A solemn spectator to the scene was
Tom Porter. Keeper Porter looked
on, but said nothing. He conducted
Freda into the kitchen and after sooth-
ing her grief asked after her mistress.
Freda just left Mrs. Chadwick at the
JAIL and she again burst into tears as
she thought of the cheerful welcome
that awaited her at her own home.
No Visitors Came to House.
There was a constant stream of Wis
itors at the house who claimed Mrs.
Chadwick as their dearest friend less
than six weeks ago. Their renewed pro-
testations of friendship were not so
ardent as Mrs. Chadwick declared they
would be while en- route. She said not
only would her social friends stand by
her. but that she rejected all offers
of financial aid from them.
The World correspondent was to-day
permitted to make an inspection of
the interior of the Chadwick house.
This was the first time that any news
paper man had been permitted beyond
the little reception room at the right of
the entrance. IN
Much has been said and written of
the splendor to be seen on every hand.
Much of this has been exaggerated.
and yet there is a deal of truth in it
all. Fri Reynolds, in his testimony the
other day, said that when he last in
spected the house a low estimate of it's
value would be 100000 Despite a lot
of trash, depsite the gaud and glitter
of gilt and gold and a lot of stuff
that could easily be classed as auc-
ton or department store purchases, it
can be said that If any one could pur-
chase the contents of the house as it
stands for $4,000, he would get a bar
gain.
Iron and Bisque Side by Side.
1t is difficult to imagine that one per-
son purchased the conglomerate hodge,
podge of stuff to be found in the va
rious rooms of the Chadwick house. An
ivory carving worth hundreds of dol
lars is surrounded by lot of cheap
German bisque figures that could prob
ably be purchased for Is cents apiece
This one instance will give a good idea
of what is found at every turn, and
yet there are some superb ornaments
that any one would be glad to own.
For instance, the first thing that
door is a beautiful old mahogany
grandfathers clock that is worth at
the very least $500. Mrs. Chadwick's
taste seems to run to clocks, for there
are eight or nine of them scattered
Throughout the house of various and
curious designs running from the
grandfather's clock to a wonderfully
carved cuckoo clock. Then there is
one that looks as If 1t might be
made of gold. 1t represents a loco
motive engine, and has an expensive
barometer attached to IL. This is I'M
doubtedly of considerable value, and is
kept underneath a glass case.
In the little room on the left of the
entrance are three oil paintings in mas
sive gold frames, which an expert to-
day said were easily worth $500 each.
IN TACT the walls of every room in the
mouse were crowded with pictures, but
it must be admitted that some of them
are of doubtful value.
Pipe Organ Lost $4,000.
In this room there is also a high
grade piano. with a self-playinR at
tachment, and here also is the famous
pipe organ for which Mrs. Chadwick
is said to have paid $4,000. One OF the
curious things in this room is a crys-
tai chair, which in it's day must have
been a gaudy and dazzling bit OF fur
