at the Present Time.

Cassie l.. Chadwick came home TO
Cleveland. She was greeted with
jeers, boots and Kisses by the crowds
that gathered in the depot when her
train arrived. howled at by hundreds
ing. The last sound that reached her
from the outside world as she passed
into the stuffy. i'll smelling office of
Sheriff Barry in the county Jail was
the boot of d~erision from the people
massed 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 in cell II in the wo-
mans department of the Jail, and her
palatial residence on Euclid venue. of
which the furnishings alone are valued
at 100000, is occupied byyher maid.
Her courage he'd to the last. but her
body failed her. and when she had
mounted the three flights of stairs lead
ing to the tier of cells where she is to
remain she collapsed utterly and fell
in n dead faint. But for the aid of
Deputy United States Marshals 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-
ceivc her. She sa.k feebly into Il chair.
her head fell backward, and but for
the marshals she would have rolled 10
the floor. Water was quickly brought
to her, and in Il few seconds she re-
vived and was again Il woman of busi-
ness. Her first request was that her
lawyer, Sheldon Q. Kerruish, be sent
for, and she was SOC engaged In Il
conference with him concerning her
defense. There is small chance that she
will be able 90 leave the Jail before her
trial. There are now seven indictments
against her. five additional charges
having been laid against her in the fed
eial court here. 1t would require sure
~ to the amount of ut least 100000 to
give her freedom. She has herself no
idea of giving Gail and will remain in
Jail.
When her train finally rolled into the
station there wax a rush from the far
tllcr end of the iion fence that Kept the
crowd of curious from the tracks. This
mob had broken through the police,
swarmed over the fence and through
the gate upon the tracks. so. that when
the train came to II st;tldstill there
were about Il thousand persons about
the cars.
The police We're forced TO drive the
crowd away with clubs while they ex-
treated the carriages from the tangic
With the coal wagons. During all this
added excitement MS the crowd WAS
being cleared from the alley eager,
riage windows and vulgar expressions
hurled at the occupants.
Mrs. Chadwick said on arrival here:

land for many years. and outside OF
negotiating some large loans which
have all been paid back in Cleveland
and some things that | may have done
which may not be considered good
business | do not think any II who
knows rae will attempt TO accuse me
Ohio to suspend judgment until the
case has had a full hearing.
The home Of Mrs. Chadwick on Eu-
clid avenue has been surrendered to
Receiver Nathan Loeser. who placed a
custodian in charge of the property.
That Andrew Carnegie Is willing TO
appear against Mrs. Chadwick when
his health has sufficiently improved
was made clear in a statement given

dence by his secretary.
