DR.CHADW|CK
MEETS Wife
IN JAIL

Cleveland. O.. Jan. 2-Unheralded and
unemba rrassed by a crowd OF the curious.
the Homecoming Of DR. Leroy s. Chadwick
was IN contrast to the arrival OF his wife
three weeks ago.
DR. Chadwick rode as a man against
whom the people have no claim: Mrs.
Chadwick rode as prisoner guarded by
federal officers.
No one was at the station TO meet the
doctor. with the exception of Attorney
Kerruish.
Dr. Chadwick was quickly driven TO
the county Jail. where he was registered
as a man against whom the law has sus-
plcion. but the record was not made a
part OF the records at once.
A bond. provided Saturday evening by
Attorney Virgil P. Kline and Attorney
Dawley. was ready at the Jail on the
arrival OF DR.. Chadwick. and he was soon
released
After the preliminaries In the office DR..
Chadwick was escorted by Sheriff Barry
20 the fourth floor OF the women's ward,
where his wife is held prisoner
The meeting between the two was pa
thetic in the extreme. Mrs. Chadwick
arose when she heard the steps In the
corridor and fell in her husbands arms
Both broke down and wept convulsively
for several minutes, while olinging 10 each
other, the sheriff attempting meanwhile
to console them.
Little by little the nrst shock grew less
severe. and the two sat down for a talk
that continued for an hour and half.
There were pleadings and partial re-
sponses when the more serious predica-
ment of husband and wife was az length
appreciated
HOPES SHE rs INNOCENT
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 Undue him with
the thought OF her innocence ot any
wronEdoing
Don't believe these stories which the
newspapers have been printing about
me-" she said. They are all lies: every
one Of them. I have done nothing
wrong
II can only hope so,' was the hus-
bands answer.
II have trusted you. and IL is hard to
believe anything My mind Is so con-
fused This has been a terrible shock
and don't understand any OF IL. ] want
time to think of IT, l do not say I won't
trust you: only give me time to collect
my thoughts"
After an hours earnest conversation
Sheriff Barry was asked by Mrs. Chad
wick TO send for her attorney, j. p Daw-
ley, who was waiting with Attorney Ker-
ruish In the Jail office Mr.. Dawley went
to Mrs Chadwicks cell and held con-
ference with her and DR.. Chadwick. the
result OF which was said TO be the In
struction OF the two prisoners by Mr..
Dawley as 70 their future public action.
A PENNILESs PAUPER
When Mr.. Dawley 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 protector nor that his
sympathy for her had been swept away.
On the trip from New York DR.. Chad
wick became somewhat reserved as his
train neared his home city, and he grew
appreciaoly sadder.
1T is little different Homecoming
than have been accustomed to-" he said
with q wan smile. "All this trouble has
come upon us with such suddenness that
l am almost crushed. OF course, l am
not guilty Of any wrongdoing.
"For IS years have made Cleveland my
home and this is the first time there has
been q taint on my name 1t is too ter.
rible
Even my home has been taken from
me, and II all reports are true, l am a
penniless pauper. / cannot suspect my
Wife, for ! must first learn her story
from her own lips before I can Judge her.
Heaven grant that II all may be cleared
UP at once"
After leaving the jail Mr.. Chadwick
with Attorney Kerruish had breakfast

r. Kline and he may 70 TO his own home
