HER HOME COMING.
Mrs. Chadwick Was Mobbed by Citi-
zens of Cleveland.

| Ze0S Oh cleveland.
Cleveland, o., Dec. 15.-Mrs. Cassie l..
| Chadwick was greeted with jeerS, boots
and Kisses by the crowds that gathered
| in the depot when her train arrived in
| Cleveland and howled at by hundreds
gathered in front of the federal build
from the outside world, she passed
into the stuffy, i'll smelling office of
| Sheriff Barry in the county Jail, was
the boot of derision from the people
massed in front of the doorway.
Mrs. Chadwick made no attempt to
give bail and after a brief stop in the
office of the clerk of the United States
court was taken to Jail. She is held in
cell IA in the women's department of
the jail and her palatial residence on
Euclid avenue, of which the furnishings
alone are valued at 100000, is occupied
/ by her maid.
| The woman's 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 and fell in a
dead faint. Only for the aid of the
deputy United States marshals, Mr..
Kumb and Mr.. Kelker, who held her up
and almost carried her along as she
mounted the stairs, she never would
have been able to reach her cell. Breath
| less. pale and staggering, she was bare
ly able to reach a chair as the steel
door of the women's corridor swung
open to receive; her. She sank feebly
| into a chaif, her head fell backward
and only for the marshals 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 indictments
IN
the amount of 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 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 lilo o'clock in the morn
ing, but it was three hours later before
it reached Cleveland. The delay of the
increasing the crowd of curious at the
depot. AS early as IL o'clock there
We're several hundred persons at the
station, but their presence was hardly
noticeable. There were more than the
usual number Of policemen present, but
not enough to excite suspicion of any
thing unusual.
Almost with every minute the crowd
tiveness of the police were severely tax
ed. When 1t was rumored that the train
had passed Collinwood, a suburb about
six miles out, the police Immediately
cleared the platforms, drove back from
the gates the crowd, and formed a line
through which Mrs. Chadwick would
have to pass. When the train 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 crowd had broken through
the police Swarmed over the fence and
through the gate upon the tracks, so
that when the train came to a standstill
there were about a thousand persons
about the cars.
Emil Chadwick, who Joined the party
at AShtabula, was the bearer of a letter
to his mother from her stepdaughter,
Miss Mary Chadwick. The letter, which
was couched in the most endearing
terms, was written on the paper of the
Htoel Continental, Paris, and was
dated November &c. 1t commenced:
my dear mother" and was signed,
''Your loving daughter Mary
The letter said that the first intima-
ton Miss Chadwick and her father had
of the troubles of Mrs. Chadwick was
learned from a New York dispatch in
the London Daily Chronicle of Novem-
Der 3d. clipping of which was inclosed,
and Miss Chadwick continued that she
believed the charges against her mother
to be monstrOuS and that mo one who
knows you as 1 do will believe such
awful things. 4
When the train drew in the station at
Cleveland, Mrs. Chadwick caught
