Cleveland, Dec. 15.-Five times in
dicted by the United States govern
ment at the exact minute that her
train rolled into the station Mrs. Cas-
eie l.. Chadwick came home to Cleve-
land. She was greeted with jeers, boots
and Kisses by the crowds that gathered
in the depot when her train arrived
and howled 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
stuffy, ill-smeling ofiice of Sheriff
Barry In the county jail was the hoot
of derision from the people massed in
front Of the doorway She made no at
tempt 70 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 woman's
department, and her palatial residence
on Euclid aEenue. of which the fur
nishlngs 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 lead
ing 10 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 Marshals Kumb
and Keller, who held her up and al
most carried her along, as she mount
ed the stairs, she never Nould have
been able to reach her cell. Breathless.
pale and staggering, she was barely
able to reach a chair. as the steel
doors OF the woman's corridor swung
open to receive her. She sank feehly
into a chair, her head fell backward.
and but 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 Ker-
ruish, be sent for, and she was soon
engaged in a conference with him con-
cerning her defense. There Is small
chance that she will be able to leave
the jail before her trial. There are
now seven indictments against her
five additional charges having been
laid against her In the federal court II
would require surety to 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 ant

cell in the place. but IL Is not a nicI
cell, nor is the cbhnty jail of CuyahoE'
a nice jail, even as ians 90.
