The CHADWICKS MEET.
and Wife Enact a Touching
Scene in Cleveland

Cleveland, O., Jan. 3.-Unheralded
and unembarrassed by a crowd of the
curious, the homecoming of DR.. Leroy
S. Chadwick was in diametric contrast
to the arrival of his wife three weeks
since. The early hour of the arrival
and the fact that but few people We're
about at that hour made the Doctors
arrival quite like that of any ordinary
traveller. No one was at the station
to meet him, with the exception of
Attorney Kerrush. Even his stepson,
Emil Hoover, failed to see him until
8 o'clock. Young Hoover had planned
to board the train at the Euclid ave
nue. station, but the train had come
into the station and departed before
Emil was aware Of the fact.
Sheriff Barry and DR.. Chadwick
We're quickly driven to the county Jail.
a bond provided Saturday by Attorney
Virgil P. Kline and Attorney Dawley
was at the Jail on the arrival of DR..
Chadwick, and he was soon released.
After the p~reliminaries in the sher-
ifs. office DR.. Chadwick was escorted
by Sheriff. 3arry to the fourth floor
of the woman's ward, where his wife
is held a prisoner. The meeting be-
tween the two was pathetic in the
extreme.
Mrs. Chadwick arose when she
heard the steps in the corridor and
lei liilO llef fitSDuliu > arms WneIlt she
recognized him. Both broke down
and wept convulsively for several min
utes while clinging to each other, the
Sheriff attempting to console them.
There was no artificiality about the
scene. Genuine grief. genuine Joy in
termingled. Even the sheriff, hardened
by continual contact With people in
every form of distress, was deeply at
fected. Little by little the first shock
grew less severe, and the two sat down
for a talk that continued for an hour
and a half. There We're %pleadings and
partial responses when the more Sc
rious predicament of husband and wife
was at length appreciated.
DR.. hadwi has lost his all in the on
erations of his wife and the large indie
pendent fortune of his only child has been
swept away. Sufficient reason, it would
seem, for some show of heartlessness on
his part. Mrs. Chadwick tried to imbue
him with the thought of her innocence of
any wrong doing. His only response to
these pleas was IT hope So"
The troubles into which bolh have beef
plunged were thoroughly discussed. The
wife told the story interpersed by violent
fits of weeping, in which at times DR..
Chadwick joined. There were no apparent
eyasions, but there was a constant cry of
trust me, trust me- on the part of the
woman.
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. Be
lieve me, trust me; everything will come
out all right in the end, and it will be seen
thai | have not been guilty of these Kings
the public charge me with. Don't think i
4 deceive you; | will tell you the truth, and
! will tell you that all these reports are
lies-lies."
II can only hope So was che husbands
answer. II have trusted and it is hard to
believe anything, my mind is SO confused,
This has all been such a terrible shock and
I don't understand any of it. / want To
think of it. ] do not say L won't trust you;
only give me timesto collect my thoughts
Ever since l heard OF this trouble in Paris
i nave been bothered, and my life has
been made almost unbearable. IL have
been followed and bounded until I car
think of nothing else. ! am not the Judge
1 can only hope that everything will come
out all right, as you say"
After an hours earnest conversation
conducted for the most part in a scarcel,
audible whisper Sheriff Barry was asked
by Mrs. Chadwick to send forgher attor
ney, T.. p. DaWley, who was waiting witt
Attorney Kerrush in the jail office. Mr.
Dawley went to Mrs. Chadwick's cell ant

the i~nstructing of.the two prisoners by DR.
Dawley of their future public action, Dur
