DEPOSED RECTOR'S

BY Associated Press.
HUNTINGTON, Pa, ia. 1.-The Rev.
I. N. w. Irvine. the deposed rector of
st. Johns Episcopal church, who ar
rived here from Philadelphia last
night and Immediately sought seclu-
sion at the home of vestryman N. w.
Hitler, one of the men whose names
appear on the presentment of Bishop
Talbot. left for the east at noon to-
day. DIR. Irvine looked careworn and
haggard. During his short visit he
maintained an uninterrupted silence to
all newspaper Interviews. Vestryman
Hitler was likewise silent.
DR.. Irvine's unexpected departure to-
day is viewed here as inexplicable alike
by his friends and opponents. He COM
municated with none of his former ves-
trymen or parishioners and denied him
self to all friends. It is generally be-
lieved that the briefness of his visit
was due to his failure to influence the
vestrymen who have repudiated their
signatures on the presentment to per-
nit their names to remain on that pa
per.
1t is understood that an effort was
made by Dr. Irvine to communicate
with John Langdon, one Of the men
who repudiated the presentment, but
without success.
When asked today whether he had
seen DR.. Irvine, Mr.. Langdon said:
mo, and 1 don't want to. He knows
better than to come to my house. I
feel, deeply grieved at the publicity my
name has been given in the matter and
would gladly escape any further an
noyance.
ut seems that Irvine's sole purpose
is to destroy the tranquility of our
parish
1t is now definitely known that Yes
tryman w. G.. Miller did receive
telegram with DR.. Irvine's name signed
to it, asking him to keep quiet and
that a letter explaining the misrepre-
sentation would follow. DR.. Irvine's
chief counsellor, Herbert Green, denies
that such a message was sent by the
deposed clergyman. Since the receipt
of this telegram, Vestryman Miller.
who secured the signatures to the pre-
sentiment, has brusquely refused to
speak further on the question.
The bishop, his family and their
friends continue to remain silent.
Bishop Talbot denies the report that
he has finally decided to issue a state
ment regarding the charges made
against him.

Attorney Instructs Prisoners

After an hours earnest conversation,
conducted for the most part in scarcely
audible whispers, Sheriff Barry was
asked by Mrs. Chadwick to send for her
attorney, j. p, Dawley, who was wait
ing with Attorney Kerruish in the jail
office, Mr.. Dawley went to Mrs. Chad
wiclS's cell and had joint conference
with her and DR.. Chadwick, the re-
suit of which was said to be the in
structing Of the two prisoners by Mr..
Dawley of their future public action.
During the time of Mr.. Dawley's
presence with them, both DIR. and Mrs
Chadwick gave gay to their feelings
and Mrs. Chadwick wept aloud. Mr..
Dawley was with them for an hour.
When Mr. Chadwick rose 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 MOI
that his sympathy for her had been
swept away. she chung TO him for a

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 1.--Unheralded,
unembarrassed by a crowd of the
curious, the home coming today OF DR..
Leroy S. Chadwick was in dlametrie
contrast to the arrival Of his wife
three weeks ago. The hour of the day
and the fact that but few people were
about made the doctors arrival like
that of an ordinary traveller. No one
was ct the station to meet him with
the exception Of Attorny I<erruish.
Even his stepson, Emil, failed to see
him until o'clock. Young Hoover
had planned to board the train at an
outlying station, but the train had
come into that station and departed
before Emil was aware of the fact.
Sheriff Barry, in whose company DR..
Chadwick was on the trip from New
York, chose to come to Cleveland over
the Pennsylvania road. The train ar
rived at Cleveland at 1880 this morn
ing. Scarcely any of the few at the
station knew of the party's arrival
and the sheriff and DR.. Chadwick were
driven to the county Jail. A bond pro-
vided Saturday evening by Attorney
Virgil p. Kline and Attorney Dawley
was at the Jail on the arrival of DIR.
Chadwick and he soon was released.
DR.. Chadwick Meets Wife
After the preliminaries In the sher-
ifs office, DR.. Chadwick was escorted
by Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor oe
the woman's ward, where his wife Is
held a prisoner. The meeting between
the two was pathetic in the extreme.
Mrs. Chadwick arose when she heard
the steps in the corridor and fell into
her husbands arms when she recog-
nized him. Both broke down and wept
convulsively for several minutes while
clinging to each other, the sheriff at
tempting meanwhile to console them.
There was no artificiality about the
scene. Genuine grief, genuine joy in
termingled. Even the sheriff, hardened
as ne must be 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 talk that con-
tinued for an hour and a half. There
were pleadings and partial responses
when the more serious predicament Of
husband and wife was at length appre-
ciated. DR.. Chadwick has lost his all
in the operations of his wife and the
large independent fortune of his only
child has been swept away. Sufficient
reason, it would seem, for Some show
of hardness on his part.

to these pleas was Il hope So" The
troubles into which both have been
plunged were thoroughly discussed.
The wife told the story interspersed
by violent fits of weeping, in which
