| the home coming OF DIR. Leroy
wick was in contrast TO the ar
| his wife, three weeks ago,
DR.. Chadwick rode as a man aga
whom the people have no claim: N
Chadwick rode as Il prisoner guarded
by federal officers. No one was at tn
station to meet the doctor with the ex
ception Of Attorney kcrrush.
DE-. Chadwick was quickly driven t
the county Jail. whore he was regis
tered as 4 man against whom the law
has suspicion, but the record was no,
made Il part Of the records at once. A
bond provided. Saturday evening. By
Attorney Virgil +. Kline and Attorney
Dawley was ready at the jail on the ar
rival OF DR.. Chadwick, and he was soon
released.
After the preliminaries in the sheriff S
Office, DIR. Chadwick was escorted by
Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor of the
women's ward. where his wife is held
a prisoner. The meeting between the
two was pathetic in the extreme. Mrs.
Chadwick arose when she heard the
steps iii the corridor and fell in her
husbands arms, when she recognized
him. Both bcoke down and wcpt con-
vulsivciy for several minutes.
Little by little the first shock grew
less severe and the Two sat down for
Il little talk that continued for an hour
and Il half. There We're pleadmgs and
partial responses when the more seri-
i1Cr,lift Of III h.lI nd 70
Was at length appreciated.
DR.. Chadwick has lost his all in the
operations OF his wife and the large in
dependent fortune Of his only child has
been swept away. Mrs. Chadwick tried
10 imbuc him with the thought Of her
innocence Of any Wrong-doing.
Don't believe these stories which the
newspapers have been printing about
me" she said. They are all lies; ev-
Cry one Of them. ] have done nothing
~ III. :. Eli We nc: trust me, every
thing VIII come out all right in the
end ana t viii DC seen that l have been
guilty Of none of these things the pub
lie charge me with. Don't think l de-
serve il. | will tell the truth and l tell
you the truth when l say all these re-
ports are lies
Il hope So was the husbands an
swcr. II have trusted YOU and it is
hard 10 believe anything With my mind
50 confused. This has all been Il ter
rible shock and l don't understand any
of il. | Want time to think of it. l do
not say ] won't trust YOU; Fonly give
me time to collect my thoughts
After an hours earnest conversation
Sheriff Barry was asked by Mrs. Chad
u lex to sand FOR her attorney, j. +.
HaNley. who was waiting with Attor-
ney Kerruish III the Jail office. Mr.
Dawicy Went to Mrs. Chadwick's cell
and held a conference with her and DR..
Chadwick, the result of which was said
to be the instructing of the two prison
ers by Mr.. Dawlcy as to their future
public action. When Mr.. Dawlcy and
DR.. Chadwick arose to leave the jail,
Mrs. CHADWICK apparently felt more
severely than ever before the desolation
of her position. She knew neither that
her. husband was her champion and
prot cctcr nor that his sympathy for
her had been swept away.
On the ride from New York. DR..
Chadwick became somewhat reserved
as his train nearcd his home city and
he grew appreciably sad! He w"s
loath to discuss his troubles.
1T is Il little different homecoming
than l have been accustomed" he said
with a van smile.
"All this trouble has come upon me
with such suddenness that | am almost
crushed. OF course l am not guilty Of
any wrOng-dOing.
For 50 years l have made Cleveland
my home and this is the first time there
has been any faint on my name. 1t is to
terrible Even my home has been talk
en- from me and if all reports are true
| am a penniless pauper. I cannot sus-
pect my wife for l must first learn her
story from her own lips before ! can
Judge her. Heaven grant that it all
may be cleared up at once"
After leaving the Jail DR.. Chadwick
and attorney kerruish had breakfast
in 4 downtown restaurant. He spent
today at the home Of Attorney Virgil p.
