Cleveland, O.. March 15.-Mrs. Cassie.
4. Chadwick was found guilty last Sat,
nrday night of conspiracy to violate
the United States banking laws by.
conspiring to procure the ce%rtification
of checks on a national bank when
there were nc funds in the bank to her
credit.
She was found guilty on every count
of the indictment o which the jury
was at liberty to judge her, seven in
all.
Under the Law she can be fined on
each not more than $4,000 nor
imprisoned more than wv years on
each count. The jury left the court
room at S:5S p. m. II Yves announced
two hour later that a verdict had been
cached and the jurors asked to be
taken out to dinner. Word was sent
to Judge Tayler at his hotel, and he
set $3.50 as the time at which he would
appear in cour to receive the verdict.
Mrs. Chadwick came into court about
five minutes before the jury. She was
accompanied by her son, Emil Hoover,
and two trained nurses.
As Jury Voted.
Gentlemen, answer to your names
as they are called"
All of the jury responded, and then.
Clerk Carleton unfolded the verdict
and stood up. w find as to count
one, guilty. We find as to count three,
guilty.
The same sentence was repeated five
more times and then Clerk Carleton
esumed his seat and commenced en-
ergetically to enter the verdict on his
record.
Gentlemen said the Judge, was
this your verdict?'
An articular murmur of assent arose
from the jurors, and in a few words
Judge Taylor thanked and dismissed
the jury.
All this time Mrs. Chadwick had
failed to grasp the meaning of the
verdict. She is slightly deaf, and Clerk
Carleton read the verdict in a tone
so low that it was nearly inaudible
ten feet away AS the people around
her began to move and ak the pris-
oner grasped the fact that for good or
i'll her fate was decided.
Realizes Her Position.
She shot n quick glance at Judge:
Wing, who was close by her side.
The sorrowfui expression of his ace
told more than the words With which
he responded to her look of appeal.
w have lost, Mrs. Chadwick"
was all he said.
This time she realized it. She turned
half way round to look at Emil Hoover
behind her, and reading there a confrma-
ton of the words of Judge Wing she
flushed deeply and raised her hand in a
bewildered fashion to her head. Suddenly
her legs seemed to give way beneath her
and she sank feebiy into a chair. Her
head fell forward on her hands, and a
succession of strangling sobs came from
her, while Emit Hoover and Judge Wing
sought vainly 10 comfort her.
The government moves for sentence,
your honor" SAID District Attorney Sulli-
van.

That is satisfactory to the govern
ment," said Mr.. Sullivan.
Judge Wing ave a silent assent. and
stepped back to the side of his distracted
client.
Mrs. Chadwick soon composed herself,
raised her hand. wiped her eyes, and rose
to her feet with an air Of bidding defiance

deserted her utterly.
She violently threw off the arm of Dep
uty Marshal Clobit2 and that of her son,
e~xciaiming:
LET me go! Ny God! Let me go,,
She tottered in weakness, and Deputy
Marshal Winder stepped quickly to her
side.

Tn not guilty" she exclaimed. and
with all the energy gone from her voice.
She moaned again a-4d again: .Oh! Let
me go! Let me go. I'm not guilty, I
tell you! Let me go!'
Suddenly she fell against Judge Wing.

ing until Deputy Marshal Winder came
up on the other side. Together the two
men lifted her bodily and bore her into
the elevator. which descended one floor,
and she was taken, half walking and half
carried. into the office of United States
Marshal Chandler and placed on a sofa.
An attack of hysteria followed that lasted
fully fifteen minutes, her sobs and cries
being distinctly audible in the hall out
side.
After reaching her cell Mrs. Chadwick
continued to weep and moan. After being
behind the bars a few minutes she faint
ed and a hurried call was sent for DR..

the Jail said he did not apprehend any
serious results.
