CHADWICkS MEET
Affecting Scene When Returned
Husband Sees Wife in
Prison.
.B)TH OVERCOME 81 EMOTION
Woman pleads For husbands Conf
dcnce But He Makes No
Promises.

| Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 2.-The meet
! ing yesterday morning between DR.
Leroy S. Chadwick and his wife in the
Jail here was marked by spells of vic
lent weeping on the part of both.
This conversation was held in Mrs
| Chadwick's cell, whithehr her husband
had been taken as soon as his bail had
been provided for. which was shortly
/ after his arrival at the Jail from the
New York train in company with Sher-
if Barry.
Throughout the conference between
Dr. Chadwick and his wife her most
oft repeated cry was. Trust me. trust
me; don't believe all these stories the
newspapers have published about me.
They are all lies. l have done moth
ing wrong"
DIR. Chadwick's only reply to all
these declarations was Il can only
hope so.''
His Coming is UnnnnOunced.
The train bearing DIR. Chadwick ar
rived here at 1880 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Scarcely any of the few at the
station knew of the party, and the
sheriff and DR.. Chadwick were quickly
driven to the county Jail. where Dr.
Chadwick was registered as a man
against whom the law has suspicious,
but it was not made part of the rec
ords at once.
A bond provided Saturday evening
by Attorney Virgil F. Kline and Attor-
ney Dawley was at the Jail on the ar
rival of DR.. Chadwick and he was soon
released.
After the preliminaries in the sher-
ifs office, DR.. Chadwick was escorted
by Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor of
the woman's ward, where his wife is
held prisoner The meeting between
the two was pathetic. Mrs. Chadwick
arose when she heard the steps in the
corridor and fell into her husbands
arms when she recognized him. Both
broke down and wept for several min
ites while clinging to each other, the
sheriff attempting meanwhile to con-
sole them.
Combine d:ricT .snd Joy.
In that time all troubles that have
been hanging over the family like a
lodestone were lost in the joy of the
meeting and the thought of the mutual
sorrow. There was no artificiality
about the scene. Genuine grief, gen
uine joy intermingled. Even the sher-
iff, hardened by continual contact with
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 an hour and
half. There were pls.adings and par
tial responses when Che more serious
predicament of husband and wife was
appreciated.
DR.. Chadwick has lost everything in
the operations OF MS wife, and the
large independent fortune of his only
child has been swept away.
Mrs. Chadwick tried to imbue him
with the thought of her innocence Of
any wrongdOing. His only response to
these pleas was: Il hope So"

ceptions.

Of operations around Port Arthur is
one of repeated fighting. both by land

NOgi's troops up to the foot of the
Liautis mountains.
Capture of Sungshu Dramatic.
The capture of the fort on Sungshu
was a spectacular bit of fighting. The
attack began after the capture of Rih
lung mountain. At first the attack
failed to succeed on account of the
protection which the Russians enjoy
ed and the desperate character of their
defense. Saturday at 10 a. m. the
Japanese exploded n series of mines

The Japanese discovered the fact
that many of the Russians had liter

was exploded. The Russians had held
a portion in boomprOof, which was
covered to a depth of many feet by the
