ana nembarraSSed by a crowd OF the
curious, the home coming of DR.. Leroy
S. Chadwick was in diametric contrast
to the arrival of his wife three weeks
ago. The early hour of the arrival, and
the fact that but few people were about
at that hour, made the doctors arrival
quite like that of an ordinary traveller
No one was at the station to meet him,
with the exception of Attorney Kar-
ruish. Even his step-son, Emil, failed
to see him until o'clock. Young
Hoover had planned to board the train
at the Euclid avenue station, but the
train had come into that station and
departed before Emil was aware of the
fact.
Sheriff Barry, in whose company DR..
Chadwick was on the trip from New
York, chose to come to Cleveland over
the Pennsylvania road. The train ar
rived in Cleveland at 7:3O in the morn
ing. Scarcely any of the few at the
station knew the party and the sheriff
and DR.. Chadwick were quickly driven
to the county Jail.
! A bond provided Saturday evening by
Attorney Virgil p. Kline and Attorney
Dawley was at the jail on the arrival
of DR.. Chadwick and he was soon re-
leased.
After the preliminaries in the sherif's
office, DR.. Chadwick was escorted by
Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor of the
womans 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 in the corridor and fell in herh hus-
bands arms when she recognized him.
Both broke down and wept convulsive-
ly for several minutes while clinging
to each other, the sheriff attempting
meanwhile to console them.
} There was no artifciality about the
scene. Genuine grief, genuine joy in

he must be by continual contact with the
people in every form of distress, was
deeply affected. Little by little the
first shock grew less severe. and the
two sat down for a talk that continued
for al hour and s. half. There we're
pleadings and partial responses when
the more serious predicament of hus-
band and wife was at length appreci-
ated.
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. Sufficient reason, it
would seem, for some show of hardness
on his part. Mrs. Chadwick tried to i'm
bue him with the thought of her innO-
cence of any wrOngdoing. His only re-
! Sponse to these pleas was: Il hope So.''
The troubles into which both have
been plunged were thoroughly discuss
ed. The wife told the story interspers-
ed by violent fits of weeping, which, at
times, DR.. Chadwick Joined. There were
no apparent evasions, but there was a
constant cry of Trust me, trust mel'
on the part of the woman. Don't be-
, lieve these stories which the newspa-
perS have been printing about me, she
said. t'They are all lies; every one of
them. I have done nothing wrong. Be
lieve me; trust me: everything will
come out all right in the end, and it
will be seen that have been guilty of
none of these things the public charge
me with. Don't think I deceive you;
will tell you the truth, and tell you
that all these reports are lies-lies."
I can only hope So" was the hus-
bands answer. It have trusted you
and it is hard to believe anything; my
mind is so confused. This has all been
derstand any of it. 1 want time to
think of it. 1 do not say 1 won't trust
you; only give me time to collect my
thoughts. Ever since heard of this
trouble in Paris have been bothered,
and my life has been made almost un-
bearabIe. I have been followed and
bounded until I can think of nothing
else am not the judge. I can only
hope that everything will come out all
right, as you say"
After an hours earnest conversation,
conducted for the most part in
scarcely audible whisper, Sheriff Barry
was asked by Mrs. Chadwick to send
for her attorney, J. P. Dawley, who
was waiting with Attorney Kerruish in
the iail office Mr.. DaWley went to Mrs.
Mrs ChadWick's cell and held a confer
ence with her and DR.. Chadwick, the
result of which was said to be the in
structing of the two prisoners by AIr.
Dawley on their future public action
During the time of Mr.. Dawley's
presence with them. both Mr.. and Mrs.
Chadwick gave way to their feelings
and Mrs. Chadwick wept aloud. Mr..
Dawley was with them for an hour,
when he and DR.. Chadwick arose to
leave the jail Mrs. Chadwick apparent
" felt more severely than ever before
the desolation of her position. She knew
neither that her husband was her COM
panion and protector, nor thac MS
sympathy for her had been swept away.
She cIung to him fog a moment and
q egin pleaded with him for his conf
dence. With tears in his eyes, he told
her. she had his confidence until proof
is produced to shatter it.
The doctor was dazed for a moment
Emil Hoover had arrived at the jail
while Dr. Chadwick was with his wife,
and was awaiting his stepfather in the
office. The man grasped both hands of
the boy, and searched his face for
moment before either spoke.
