Cleveland, March IA The jury she
selected herself declared Mrs. Cassie
=. Chadwick guilty of conspiring
against the United States government.
They found her guilty on seven of
the counts, each OF which carried with
it a penalty OF two years imprison-
ment and q fine of $4,000
When the prisoner, who is partially
deaf, grasped the fact that her fate
was decided, she glanced at Judge
Wing, whose tall form was close at
her side.
We have lost. Mrs @ hadwick, !"
was all he said.
She turned half around to- look at
Emil Hoover, behind her, and reading
there a confirmation of the words OF
Judge Wing. she flushed deeply and
raised her hand in a bewildering fash
ion to her head. Suddenly her limbs
seemed to give way beneath her and
she sank feebly into her chair. Her
head fell forward on her hands, and a
succession Of struggling sobs came
from her throat, while Emil and Judge
Wing sought yainly to comfort her.
I'm Not Guilty; Let Me Co.
Soon she walked steadily to the hall
way to take the elevator. IL was not
there and in the slight delay Mrs.
Chadwick's composure deserted her
utterly. She violently threw on the
arm of Deputy Marshal Globitz and
that of her son. excIaiming:
Let me 90. Oh, my God, let me
CO. She tottered i'm weakness and
Globitz, together with Deputy Marshal
Minder, stepped quickly to her side.
I'm not guilty" she exclaimed, and
then with all the energy gone from her
voice she moaned again and again:
ooh. let me go; let me go. I'm not
guilty, tell you; let me 60
Suddenly she fell against Judge
Wing. He caught her by the shoulders
and kept her from falling until Deputy
Marshal Minder came up on the other
side. Together the two men lifted
her bodily into the elevator, which de-
scended one floor. and she was taken,
haIf-waiking and halfcarried, into the
office of United States Marshal Chand-
Ter. There she gave way to a terrible
outbnrst Of mingled fury and shame
Cries Out to Her son.
In voice that could be heard all
over the floor she shouted:
emil. Emil, my son, how can ever
look yon In the face again? They say
! am guilty, but am not. MY darling
son, have done nothing of which you
need be ashamed =
She seized him i'm her arms and
smothered him with tears and kisses.
Together they rocked to an fro,
mingling their tears. Then her mood
changed and she broke out Id fierce de-
nunciation OF United States Attorney
Sullivan and Marshal Chandler. She
called them human vuIchers. and de
clared they had bounded her to JAIL
Finally her attorney, Judge Wing,
quieted her sufficiently to enable Mar
shals Campbell and Glohitz to get her
back to Jail
The pathetic figure throughout it all
was young Emil. The boy bore up like
d man and never quailed when the
jury announced It'll verdict. Only 4
few persons were til the court room
when the verdict was announced The
curious throng, mostly women. that
had attended court daally, had gone
home, apparently convinced that there
would pc no verdict until very late.
