Cleveland, O., December 14.-Five
times indicted by the United States
government at the exact minute that
her train rolled into the station, Mrs.
Cassie l. Chadwick came home to
Cleveland this afternoon. She was
greeted with jeers, boots and Kisses
by the crowds that gathered in the
depot when her train arrived, howled at
by hundreds gathered in front Of the
Federal building. The last sound that
reached her from the outside world, as
she passed into the stuffy, ill-smelling
office of Sheriff Barry in the county
Jail was the hoot of derision from the
people massed in front of the doorway.
She made no attempt to give BAH, and
clerk of the United States court, was
taken to Jail. She is held tonight in
cell No. IA, in the woman's department
of the Jail, and her palatial residence
on Euclide, with the furnishings alone
valued at 100000 is occupied by her
maid. Her courage held to the last,
but her body failed her and when she
had mounted the three flights of stairs
leading to the tier of cells where she is
to remain, she collapsed utterly and
fell in a dead faint. But for the aid
Kumb and Kelker, who held her up and
almost carried her. along, as she mount
ed the stairs. Shi never would have
been able to reach her cell. Breathless,
pale and staggering, she was barely
able to reach chair as the steel door
of the woman's corridor swung open
to receive her. She sank feeibly into a
chair, her head fell backward, and but
! for the marshars aid she would have
rolled to the floor. Water was quickly
| brought TO her, and in a few seconds
she revived and was again a woman of
! business. Her first request was that
! her lawyer sheldon Q. Kerruish be sent
for and she was soon engaged in a
! conference with him concerning her
! defense There is small chance that she
| will be able to leave the jail before
| her trial. There are now seven indict.
ments against her, five additional
! charges having been laid against her in
! the Federal court this afternoon. Ii
would require surety to the amount oi
| at least 100000 to give her freedom
and there is nobody in Cleveland who
, will furnish that amount for her. She
| has herself no idea of giving bail and
! will remain in Jail. She has the best
cell in the place, but it is not nice
cell nor is the county Jail of Cuyahoga
| county a nice Jail even as jails go, but
| it is the best there is and there she
| must remain.
Mrs. Chadwick's train was scheduled
| to arrive at 11:1O in the morning, but
| it was three hours later before it reach
ed Cleveland. The delay of the train
| served but one purpose, that OF incTeas-
! Ing the crowd at the depot. When it
| finally rolled into the station there was
! a rush from the further end of the iron
! fence that kept the crowd of curious
| from the tracks.
This mob had broken through the
i f,uIice, swarmed over the fence and
through the gate and upon the tracks.
| so that when the train came to stand
| still there were about a thousand per-
| sons about the cars. AS the train drew
out OF Ashtabula. Mrs. Chadwick said:
The next stop will be home During
the run into Cleveland she conversed
/ with her son and an Associated Press
| correspondent. She was remarkably
calm and in discussing her affairs said
| the people of the country would soon
learn that she had been more sinned
"a gainst than shining. Emil Chadwick.
who joined the party at Ashtabula, was
| the bearer of a letter TO his mother
from her stepdaughterMiss Mary Chad

most endearing terms, was written on
