MRS. CHADWICK GETS
HOME AND fAINTS
Is Nearly Mobbed in Cleveland
and Says She VIII Fight for
Her Good Name

came home TO Cleveland this afternoon.
She was greeted with jeers boots and
misses by the crowds that gathered in
the depot when her train arrived, howl
ed 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 Office of
Sheriff Barry in the Jail was the hoot
of derision from the people nassed in
front Of the doorway. She 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 tonight in cell II 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.
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 of
Deputy United States MarshaIs Kumb
and Kelker, who held her up and al
most carried her along as she mounted
the stairs, she never would have been
able to reach her cell. BreathlesS, pale
and staggering, she was barely able to
reach a chair, as the steel door of the
woman's corridor swung open to re-
ceive her. She sank feebly into a chair,
her head fell backward and but for
the marshals she would have rolled to
the floor.
Woman of Business Again
Water was quickly brought to her and
In few seconds she revived and was
again a woman of business. Her first
request was that her lawyer, Sheldon
@. Kerrush, be sent for, and she was
soon in conference with him concern
ing her defense. There is small chance
that she will able to leave the jail
before her trial. There are now seven
indictments against her-fve addition
al charges having been laid against her
in the federal court this afternoon. 1t
would require surety to the amount of
at least 100000 to give her freedom.
She has the best cell in the Jail.
Mrs. Chadwicks train was scheduled
to arrive at 11:10 in the morning, but
it was three hours later before it
reached Cleveland. The delay of the
train served but one purpose, that of
increasing the crowd OF curious at the
depot. When the train entered the
station there was a rush from the fur
ther end of the iron fence that kept
the crowd from the tracks, This mob
had broken through the police, swarm
ed over the fence and through the gate
upon the tracks, so that when the train
came to a standstill there were about
1 eco persons about the cars.
Mrs Chadwick, who had been wear
Ing a white sweater and dark skirt,
changed her attire before reaching
Cleveland, and appeared in blue silk
dress, the waist of which was trimmed
with lace. Emil Chadwick, who join
ed the party at Ashtabula, was the
bearer of a letter to his mother from
her stepdaughter, Miss Mary Chad
wick The letter, which was couched
In the most endearing terms, was writ
ten on the paper of the Hotel Contf-
mental, Paris, and expressed the belief
that the charges against her mother
were monstrous. AS the train neared
its destination Mrs. Chadwick donned
her outer garments, long, brown, fur
trimmed coat, a brown hat and heavy
veil to match.
After the train had been emptied OF
its passengers, United States Marshal
Chandler, of Ohio, stepped aboard her
car, the Aida, and made his way to the
drawing room, where he was intro
duced to Mrs. Chadwick, who asked that
she be taken out as speedily as pos
sible. and preceded by Emil Chadwick
and Freda SwanSturn, the nurse. the
party made its way to the platform
and thence through the dense crowds
to a carriage in waiting.
Although in her own city, no friend
Iy face greeted her at the car.
At the Jail Mrs. Chadwick was COM
PEELED to pass through several rooms
to the desk of Jailer EggerS to be reg
istered. Sheriff Barry asked Mrs.
Chadwick the usual questions, the first
being her age and Mrs. Chadwick re-
piled to the queries in a quiet tone Of
voice, stating her age to be thirty
eight years, her residence as Cleveland,
and the United States as the country
of her birth.
The New indictments
The federal grand jury returned the
indictments against Mrs. Chadwick,
President Beckwith and Cashier Spear,

lin, at the exact minute that Mrs.
Chadwicks train reached the city. The
indictments are five in number; three
of them charge her with aiding and
abetting officers of a national bank to
defraud the institution, and two charge

OberIin bank, two charge him with
misapplication of funds of a national
bank; one with conspiracy to commit

mentS against Cashier Spear are the
same as those against President Beck

notes of $5O9,0 each, both signed in
the name of Andrew Carnegie, and that
Mrs. Chadwick declared positively, both
to him and Cashier Spear, that she
name to both notes.
1t was also set forth in the state
naent that a New York attorney who
drew Carnegie had declared to Beck
with in 0berlin that the notes were
genuine The Endorsement Of the notes
by Beckyith and Spear was admit
ted, but the statement declared neither
of them had any idea that they were to
be used in the manner in which Mrs.
