has settled down to the routine Of Jail
life, and today expressed herself as
well satisfied with her surroundings.
After taking her breakfast she sent for
Sheriff Barry and told him that she did
not care to receive any visitors during
the day, as she was about to prepare
a statement and did not wish to be
disturbed until it was finished.
When asked what the nature of her
statement would be, Mrs, Chadwick
declined to reply, but said that she
would not make 1t public until after it
had been submitted to her attorneys.
1t was expected that today definite

When L found the man, it proved to
be one Of my friends and a man who
stands high in ST.. Paul social and

There was masquerade party in
our neighborhood last night and this
gentleman attended in the role of a
burglar. He was dressed to the part.
and a IA caliber revolver. To heigh-
ten the illusion, he took all of his
wife's solid silverWare and threw 1T
in a sack which he slung over his
shoulder. He was the hit Of the par
ty. After the masqueraders had gone
home the host and the burglar lin
gered over a bowl Of punch and the
burglar took more than burglar
should. On the way home he strayed
up on the stoop Of a residence near
my home, and, to find shelter from,
the storm, dropped into one Of these
porch chairs and was soon asleep.
His presence was discovered by the
owner Of the house. The man was
terrified at the sight Of the wicked
looking revolver and the dark-lantern.
The patrolman was not in sight. The
neighbor remembered that I was an
officer, so he clothed himself and soon
saw to it that did. When we found
the burglar he was sleeping the sleep
of the punch-destroyer and looked the
part of the house-cracker. The dark
lantern was on the stoop floor, the re-

and the silverware had partly fallen
out of the sack, which lay across his
knees. -- ,.. a.,
