DR.. Chadwick gave the Associated

In reply to questions, he said:

recent turn of events. L am innocent
of all charges against me and can
point with pride to tilirty-fve-year

what you have been good enough to
tell me. So l can say nothing of the
awful charges against my wife.

been a living death, and 1 hope no one
will ever go through what L have un-

overwhelmed by the charges against
her.
DR.. Chadwick read the Associated
Press dispatch from Cleveland that
Mrs Chadwick had been measured by
the Bertillon system. AS he finished
the reading he groaned aloud and as
he turned to the correspondent, tears
rolled down his cheeks.

The correspondent then told DR..
Chadwick the statement that has been
made that Mrs. Chadwick is believed
TO be Madame Devere. He fell back
stunned.

Asked about his financial resources
he said: If what the papers say is
