HUSBAND TO RETURN.
DR.. Chadwick Submits to an Interview
in Paris.

PARIS. December 15.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick's belief that her husband, DR..
Leroy s. Chadwick, has sailed for New
York from Liverpool is erroneous. DR..
Chadwick is still here. The correspondent
of the Associated Press has seen him daily.
During a conversation last night DR.. Chad
wick was asked If Iri Reynolds charges
against him might lead to prolonging his
stay in Europe. DIR. Chadwick replied that
it was still his intention to return to
America.
DO you expect to be included in the
charges?" the doctor was asked.
Most certainly not he replied.
DIR. Chadwick spoke of his lengthy stays
has been absent much of the time during
the business operations of his wife. He
said he came to Europe in 1901, remaining
eighteen months, and that during most of
the time he was in bad health and not ex-
pected to live, owing to an attack of ROM
an fever, during his sojourn in Italy. After
returning to Cleveland DR.. Chadwick visit
ed number of cities in the United States
and then came back to Europe for another
eight months.
He made another trip to America, but as
he was still ailing. returned to Europe,
where he has since remained.
DIR. Chadwick has decided not to make a
formal statement. He says he is deter
mined not to see any more representative
of the press, as he considers his statements
have been misquoted. This does not apply
to the interview of the Associated Press of
December IL, in which DIR. Chadwick S
statements were taken stenographfcally and
we're afterward read and approved by him
before transmission to the United States.
Ee refers to fantastic interviews crediting
him with making exaggerated statements.
DR.. Chadwick was still at his hotel at
noon today and had not made arrangements
for his departure.

TRIAL OF MAJOR FOSTER.
Army Officers Here Much Interested in
the Outcome,

Army officers in this city are interested In
the outcome Of the co:irt-martial proceed
ings now under way at Fort Banks, Mass,
against Maj. Charles W. Forter Of the Ar
tillery Corps. formerly Sommandant of that
post. Because of his alleged erratic con-
duct, Maj Foster was recently examined by
a medical board with a view OF his re-
tirement on the ground of disability, but
the board reported that he was physically
sound and the officer was ordered before a
court-martial for trial on charges of al
legged violations of the regulations.
A press dispatch from Boston says that
during the progress of the trial Capt
James NJ. Williams OF the Coast Artillery,
stationed at Fort Banks, gave testimony
which angered Maj. Foster and that hot
words ensued between the two officers, the
language used by Maj. Foster being con-
strued by some of those present as chal-
lenge to duel. When questioned on that
point Maj. Foster however, denied that
such construction should be placed on his
language
The findings of the court will be SUBJ
mitted to Brig. Gen. F. d. Grant, COM
manding the Department of the East, and,
In the event that tbs sentence is one of
dismissal, the case wEl be submitted to the

time of the opposition, was detained at his

NAN PATTERSON TRIAL
CASE OF PROSECUTION LIKELY TO
CLOSE BY END OF WEEK.

NEW YORK. Dec 15.-It seemed quite
possible at the opening of the Patterson
trial today that the case of the prosecution
against the former show girl would be
completed before the close of the present
week. Mrs. Young. the widow of the dead
bookmaker. who was on the stand yester-
day for brief period. was recalled almost
as soon as the trial was resumed today.
She was detained only few minutes, how
ever, while she verified for the records her
testimony of yesterday regarding an In
tercepted letter. Bernard L. Mexican.
Young's brother-in-law, who produced the
letter yesterday, also was questioned briefly
before Mr. Rand moved that the letter be
admitted as evidence.
Letter Read to the Jury.
The motion was allowed by Justice Davis
and the letter was read to the jury. 1t
was addressed to Caesar Young at the
Imperial Hotel, and was dated May 3, 1904.
The letter was written by Julia Smith, Nan
Patterson's sister. and in it Young was ad-
dressed as My Dear Unc." Mrs smith.
In the letter, asked Young to call ana see
her at once She wrote among other tnihss,
II would like to get the whole thins
straightened out because of Mans per
turbed condition. I understand what is
the matter. We will be home at noon 10

her condition breaks my heart expect
to see you as soon as possible.
Young's Racing Partner Testifies.
John Mellin, Young's racing partner
testified that last March, in Los Angeies
Young told Miss Patterson that he would
have to go away. Plans were discussed,
and 1t was finally decided that Miss Pat-
terson should be the one to go away.
Mellin gave her railroad tickets the fol-
lowing day. which he had purchased Tor
her. and $500 of Young's money. Ihat was
the las time he saw Miss Patterson uhtii
he met her in this city in May. she was
then at a hotel with her sister ana D..

He identified photographs of Mr. asd Mrs

terson at the race track the day pelore
Yonng was killed. She disappeared after
the fourth race, at $50 pm Young ana
his wife started back to the city more than
an hour later. The witness then identNied
two letters which Young had written TO
his employees in which he gave an address
in London to which he directed that any
communica tions for him be sent.
