8 o'clock when United States Marshal

way to prison.
Mrs Chadwick was wan, tired and
almost fainting. She made her way

wrapping his arms about her, gave her
long embrace. Then she was led
away to the inner ONCE. where her
pedigree was taken and she was as

entered a carriage and were driven to
a hotel.
