w. B. Fay of Cleveland came to see
the Chadwicks. but was ordered out
OF the cabin by Barry. The party will
not go to New York at all. but will
remain in New Jersey and leave from
Jersey City this afternoon for Cleve-
land.
Sheriff Barry then expected that
the doctors daughter would not go to
Cleveland, but would soon start for
Florida where she has relatives.
One reason why Sheriff Barry did
not arrest DR.. Chadwick was that he
did not have the extradition papers.
The law requires that the papers
should be kept in the custody of a
New York official and were in the
possession of Detective Sergeant Bon
mott of the New York city police
headquarters. He was to have joined
Sheriff Barry at the Battery when the
latter started down the bay on the
revenue cutter to meet the Pretoria,
but did not appear, and although the
sheriff made every effort to reach him
by telephone he could not be found.
So Sheriff Barry went ahead without
the papers.
Had a Narrow Escape.
After some delay at the dock DR..
Chadwick. his daughter Mary, and
Sheriff Barry, accompanied by several
detective Sergeants of the Hoboken po-
lice force, left the Pretoria and walked
up the street to Recorder Stanton's po-
lice court.
They were followed on the way by
two or three hundred persons who
made something of a scene at the court
by attempting to crowd in. In the court
room Detective Wefnthal Of the Hobo
ken police explained to the recorder
that DR.. Chadwick was in the care of
Sheriff Barry and that the Hoboken 20
lice thought he might be wanted as a
fugitive from justice. The recorder
asked if there were any complaints
against DR.. Chadwick and as there
were none ordered him released.
DR.. Chadwick, Miss Chadwick and
Sheriff Barry had a narrow escape from
death shortly after leaving the police
court. They were in a hack driving
to the hotel. In turning a corner, one
of the horses slipped on the icy cross
ing and fell, badly tangling itself in the
harness. At the same time a large
truck which was following closely be-
hind came rushing down upon the hack.
The driver was unable to stop his
horses and for a moment it seemed as
if the animal would go through the
carriage with his load.
Sheriff Barry perceiving the danger,
leaped out of the hack and grasped the
truck horse by the bride, by main
force pushed him into the sidewalk so
that the truck missed the hack by a
few inches. DIR. Chadwick and his
daughter were greatly frightened by
the experience.
Mr.. Barry placed the Chadwicks in
another carriage and they were driven
to the hotel, where they met Mr.. Tay-
lor and Mrs. Tibbets of Cleveland, who
had come to New York to meet them.
The party ordered dinner in their rooms
and declined to tell the purport of their
conference. DR.. Chadwick will leave
this afternoon for Cleveland and Miss
Chadwick will remain in New York for
several days and will then go to jack
sonville, Fla, where she Will try to re-
gain her health
A Dramatic Incident.
One of the dramatic features of DR..
Chadwick's home coming was the
scene in the Hoboken court The
Hoboken police had stated to Re-
corder Stanton that Chadwick was
fugitive from Justice and asked that
he be held. Sheriff Barry was asked
movaI of the doctor to Cleveland and
he said that he had not and then
made an eloquent plea for his friend.
In a voice ringing with sincerity Mr..
Barry told the court of DR.. Chad
wfck's honorable record in Cleveland
and the spotless life he had lived. and
said that Prosecuting Attorney keeler
of Cleveland had asked him not to
place the doctor under arrest unless
he attempted to fight arrest
HE is my lifelong friend" said the
sheriff. "And 1 ask that my friend be
to accompany me in a man
ner fitting his previous condition"
The recorder asked if anyone would
make complaint against the Cleveland
but no voice was heard and
the magistrate after waiting for re-
ply said: Defendant discharged"
''There is not the slightest doubt of
DR.. Chadwick's innocence in my
said Mr.. Barry. mo one in
nv city thinks he has done anything
wrong 1 expect bail will be furnish
ed for him as soon as he reaches
Cleveland and it is not unlikely that
friends will demand an imme ediate
trial.
