MRS. Chadwick reiterated her former
statements that as her husband and
step-daughter could be of no assist
ance to her here, she wished them to
remain abroad, that they might be
spared the humiliation attendant upon
their presence in Cleveland.
ShranIS from the Crowd.
AS the train neared its destination
Mrs. Chadwick donned her outer gar
ments, long fur-trimmed coat, a
Drown hat and heavy veil to match.
She expressed her appreciation of the
courtesies extended to her by the AS
soclated Press and few minutes later
said she would like to say good bye
TO the newspaper men who had accom-
panied her party from New York. The
correspondents, went in, one by one,
| and to each she gave a warm hand
grasp and said hearty, God bless
You"
When the train drew in the station
at Cleveland. Mrs. Chadwick caught a
glimpse of the great crowds which
swarmed about the train shed and
was grouped on vantage points on the
nights surrounding the station. She
instinctively shrank back into corner
of the drawing room and said: II
cannot see why all those people should
| be here"
With Hoots and Jeers.
After the train had been emptied of

| Chandler of Ohio stepped aboard her
| car, the Aida" and made his way
to the drawing room, where he was
| introduced to Mrs. Chadwick. She ask

as possible, and preceded by Emil
Hoover and Freda Swanstrom, the
| nurse, the party made its way to the
I,@IO
crowds to a carriage in waiting.
| Although in her own city no friendly
| face greeted her at the car and Mrs.
| Chadwick stepped into her carriage as
| if she had been an entire stranger to
| this community.
| The crowd had become impatient
with the delay of Mrs. Chadwick's ar
rival and began to jeer and whistle.
| AS soon as Mrs. Chadwicks son, Emil,
and her faithful nurse, Fred Swan
| strom, appeared on the car platform
and stepped to the station Mrs. Chad
| wick was recognized by the crowd and
| there was a spontaneous outburst of
| jeers, whistles and shouts of coarse
| epithets.
Shouts of "Herere the notes" and
where's the money!" greeted Mrs.
! Chadwick upon her appearance, and
as the viciousness of the mob dawned
upon her, she seemed to grow faint
and wavered as though about to fall.
1t seemed that but for the deputy
marshals' support of her she must ut
terly collapse.
Cameras Trained Upon Her.
The arrival of the woman was most
| spectacular in every respect and in
marked contrast to her previous ar
1 rivals in her home city. AS soon as the
| police could clear away and bring about
| some semblance of order about the
depot platform, the officers led their
| prisoner toward the gate and out
| through the entrance. There the street
was almost blocked and well nigh inn
passible to the carriages and teams
/ The camera fiend WAS there in all his
/ glory despite the overcast sky and
| dark day, and through this battery
| passed Mrs. Chadwick, Marshal Can
| dler and his two deputies into their
! carriage. They were Immediately driv-
! en- away to the federal building.
| All the time the crowd kept hooting
| and ieering, and as the carriages roll
| ed away from the station they were fol-
! lowed by some of the crowd. The
| shouts and cries were taken up, and
| passed along, all the way to the federal
| building through the busiest part of
| the city.
Kept Up Their Batting.
| AS the carriages neared the building
| the crowds on the sidewalks broke into
the street, and many began to run be-
| side the carriages, expecting to see
| Mrs. Chadwick as she entered the
building by the main entrance. In this
the crowd was disappointed, for the
carriage with the prisoner was driven
| into an alley in the rear of the build
| ing. AS the crowd was being cleared
| from the alley, eager, peering faces
| were thrust into the carriage windows
and vulgar expressions hurled at the
| occupants.
Mrs Chadwick was taken to the fifth
| floor on the freight elevator. The po-
| lice continued to beat back the crowd,
| and out of the next carriage the nurse,
Freda, was assisted and taken UP to
join her mistress. Emil did not leave
| the carriage.
While Mrs. Chadwick with her nurse
was in the federal building Emil in the
carriage outside was subjected to the
scrutiny of the mob. and was forced
to listen to anathemas and maledic-
tions, as well as sarcastic and bitter
| references to notes." diamonds" "se-
curities," and the like. Even the clerks
in the postoffice, working on the ground
floor of the building, fiocked to a rear
door, located next to the one entered
by Mrs. Chadwick and laughingly
shouted, Lets see the securities" re-
ferring to baggage of Mrs. Chadwick

Through Another Ordeal.
| Mrs. Chadwick had a long confer
ence with her attorney Sheldon @.
| Kerrnish. She said she did not care
to plead to the indictments just found
| against her, and was taken to the Jail.
When she was about to leave the
federal building the excitement was
greater, If possible, than before. The
carriage, after a few delays, forced a
passage and, once out of the alley,
Mrs. Chadwick was hurried away to
the Jail. She passed through streets
| with thronged curbs only to run the
! gauntlet of another mob that had been
| gathering for hours. Into the Jail the
! prisoner was hurried to the accom-
paniment of more shouts and jeers and
the clicking of photographers cameras.
The son, Emil, following In another
carriage, soon joined his mother and
not until then did the crowd, that for
five hours had been increasing. begin
TO decrease. Freda remained with
