AND A FINE EQUAL TO THE COSTS
OF THE TRIAL

She wouldn't Leave the Jan for Court Room
. Untn the Marshals threatened TO Garry
Her Out-Judge Taylor PrOnOunCes
sentence-An Appeal TO he Taken.
CLEVELAND, March 27.-Judge r. W.
Taylor overriled the motion for a new
trial this afternoon in the else Of MRS.
Cassie l.. Chad wick and sentenced her to
serve ten years In the Ohio Penitentiary
at Columbus and to pay a fine equivalent
to the costs Of her trial.
The case will now be carried TO the Court
Of Appeals at Cincinnati, eK-Judge Wing
announced tonight, and consequently
Mrs. Chadwick will not begin her sentence
until this tribunal has passed on the matter.
Mrs.. Chadwick, on account OF deafness,
did not hear Judge Taylor when he pro-
nounoed sentence upon her, and his words
were repeated by deputy marshal. In a
very low voice she said she would like TO
make a statement in the presence OF the
Judge and District Attorney and her own
attorneys.
The Judge said that this was impossible.
II she wished to make a statement II must
be in open court.
Mrs. Chadwick stood while Judge Taylor
down. She seemed slightly nervous, but
stood with bowed head, giving no sign OF
emotion. She leaned against the clerks
desk
Judge Taylor said: 'On each Of counts
one, three, FIVE and seven Of the indict-
ments you shall serve two years in the
Ohio Penitentiary On counts eleven and
sixteen you shall serve one year each, and
pay the costs Of this trial
Mrs. Chadwick openly defed the United
States Court this morning. refusing 10 go
to the court room and insisting upon re-
naming in jail. For an hour she was
obdurRte and scored the deputy mArshals
sent for her Not until they threatened
to carry her by force out OF the jail did she
consent 20 60 TO the court room.
When she finally appeared, accompanied
by two deputies, she walked slowly and
apparently painfully. She said her arm
troubled her, and during the session she
permitted it to rest upon cushion. Other
wise she looked we'll.
Attorneys Dawley and Wing made the
arguments for new trial. They alleged
that Mrs. Chadwick was tried and con-
victed by a jury practically composed
OF DliN tltNfu ulths OllS JNAbl NhNJ man
tanned, was an illegal juror in that Butler
+, Crane was summoned to sit on the jury,
but that Bently F, Crane appeared and sat
all through the case. answering the name
OF Butler F. Crane without divIlgng his
own name. They also accused District
Attorney Sullivan Of gross misconduct
in the case.
They charged him with violating the law
in his final address 10 the jury, when he
argued witchcraft conspiracy and crimes
not mentioned in the testimony. They
also argued that Attorney Sullivan assumed
many things that we're not borne out by
the testimony. They frankly charged the
Judge with errinR in his charge. They
also attacked the jury and implied that
many Of the members did not tell the truth
when they said they had formed no opinions
Of the case.
They denied that the drawer Of a check
upon a bank, when the drawer had no
money on deposit, was guilty with the
bankers OF conspiracy. The Court took
issue with them on this question. He de-
Tended that part Of his charge with spirit.
