SEES MAN WHO SAVED LAMB
FROM GOlkU TO PRISON WITH
NINE. De we're.
NO DOUBT T SER IDENTITY
MRS. CHADWICK AND THE ODER.
LIN BANKERS PLEAD
NOT GUILTY..

Cleveland, Dec 2O.-The mask was
ruthlessly torn from Cassie l.. Chad.
wick Saturday, revealing Nine. Lydia
De We're, charlatan, fortune teller,
swindler, forger and convict.
Supt. Tom Burns never worked the
third degree" on prisoner in more
grim fashion than the government au-
thorities worked it Saturday on Mrs.
Chadwick. No terror-stricken felon
ever collapsed so utterly as did this
miserable woman when she realized
just what had been prepared for her.
1t was suddenly decided to arraign
her along with President Beckwith
bank, on the seven indictments found
against them Wednesday. A big arm.
chair was placed within ten feet of
and directly facing the clerks desk.
At this desk sat Irving Belford, the
man who successfully defended Joseph
Lamb, the Toledo expressman who
was jointly tried with Nine. De We're
for forgery in Toledo.
Mrs. Chadwick CoIIapses.
When halfway to her seat Mrs.
Chadwick's beadlike eyes lighted
upon Irving Belford, directly facing
her and piercing her veil with steady
stare from beneath his shaggy eyes.
Instantly all strength seemed to
leave the woman. Her knees gave way
and she would have dropped to the
floor had not the officers held her up.
Trembling from head to foot, she
fought to master the weakness. but
her limbs refused to do her bidding.
She was terror-stricken-a mere inert
bundle of brown clothes.
The marshals fairly carried her to
the armchair and dumped her into it.
There she sat, huddled up like a
stuffed figure, resting her right elbow
on a table and hiding her face to shut
out the accusing eyes of Belford.
The mask had been torn away. 1t
was not Cassie l.. Chadwick, high
priestess of frenzied finance. it was
Nine De We're, forger and ex-convict,
cringing before the bar OF justice.
When it was all over and the miser-
able creature had been carried back to
Jail, Mr.. Belford said:
'It was brutal, positively brutal, but
it had to be done. l knew her the in
stant 1 saw her, and she knew me. 1t
is impossible to forget her once you
have seen her as have"
Not in Doubt.
"Then there is not the slightest
doubt in your mind that she is Nine.
De Vere?"
"No more doubt than 1 have that
that is Judge Wing sitting there"
pointing to the judge on the bench"
All three defendants pleaded not
guilty to the indictments and waived
examination. Mr.. Dawley. for Mrs.
Chadwick, reserved the right to
change his plea later on.
Judge Wing fixed bail in $4,000
each for Beckwith and Spear, which
they gave, but Mr.. Dawley said he
did not wish bail named for his client.

NEW YORK BURIED IN SNOW

New York, Dec. 20. - The snow
Saturday afternoon and continued un-
til the early hours of yesterday morn
ing, was the most violent that has oc-
Cured for asseral years. Reports
from the New Jersey and New Eng
land coast ana from incoming steam
ers tell of furious gales and many dis
asters.
At Vineyard Haven over fifteen
schooners anchored in the harbor
were blown ashore yesterday and sew
eral others were damaged in collis-
ions.
The Cunarder Umbria and the
American liner St. Paul, both of which
arrived yesterday, reported heavy
weather and adverse gales during the
whole passage.
In the river and harbor the traffic
was for while during the worst Of
the storm
Almost at StandstilI.
So heavy was the Snowfall that
lights could not be seen en- the river a
boats length ahead, and ferryboats
and other craft proceeded at a dimin-
Sfsifed headway, blowing whistles and
feeling their way cautiously through
the binding storm.
In the city the snow fell almost
without intermission until early yes
terday morning, by which time eight
inches had fallen. There was little in
terruption of traffic, thirteen thousand
snow shovelers and four thousand
teams being set to work as soon as the
snow ceased falling to clean the prin-
cipal thoroughfares. Three feet OF
snow on the lefel was the record OF
the storm in the east end Of Long
Island.
Wires Are Frustrated.
Boston, Dec. 20.-The storm yester-
day was of blizzard severity along the
southern New England coast. All
wires to Cape Cod were prostrated
and there has been no communication
south Of Wareham by land lines since
early yesterday morning.
The captain of the Watch Hill life
saving station reported that when the
storm cleared three barges were seen
ashore on the south side of Fishers
island.

DR.. KOCH IS ARRAlGNED.
Judge Webber Informs Him That 10
Can Plead Monday.

New Ulm, Mimi, Dec. 20.-Dr. Geo.
R. Koch was arraigned in court Sat-
urday. The indictment charging him
with murder in the first degree for
the killing Of DR.. l.. A. Gebhard, was
read to him by Gen. H. w. Childs.
He was given copy of the Indictment
and after glancing at it passed it over
to his attorney, George W. Somerville.
When the question was put to him,
Guilty or not guilty?" Judge Weber
informed him he need not answer, as
he could plead Monday. At that time
the prosecution will undoubtedly ask
for more time in which to prepare for
one of the most interesting and SEN
sational murder trials ever before q
court in the Northwest. DR.. Koch
looked somewhat pale, but otherwise
did not show signs of a breakdown.
and is keeping his composure under
trying circumstances.
