Her Pulse is Extremely Weak and

FaiIure-Satd to Realize That Her
Days Are Few.

Columbus. O., Oct. 10:-Mrs Cassie
Chadwick. accused of wrecking the
First National bank, of Oberlin, O.,
was reported much worse in the
woman's ward in the Ohio peniten-
tiary. Her pulse was extremely
weak, and she was partly delirious.
Physicians are making all prepare
tions to attempt to stay any sinking
spells. They decline to say how
long she will survive, but admit she
is likely to die at any moment She
has been in the penitentiary since
January IL, 1906. With good time to

has been confined to her bed since the
first severe attack about three weeks

Shamming at First Suspected.
1t was at first limited that sho was
shamming in order to excite sympa-
thy and secure pardon, but within
g. few days it was known that her
case was serious and she was placed
under the constant care of the prison
physician. Her trouble is attacks of
heart failure and weak stomach, the
latter. according to the physician, be-
ing caused directly by indulging in
rich food. When she first came to
the prison Mrs. Chadwick sent to a
| fashionable restaurant in the city for
her meals. and ate the richest viands.
Finally the prison officials ordered
that she be compelled to partake of
the regular prison fare, but she still
complained of her stomach. and grad
ually became worse.
Shuns the Public Gaze.
Mrs. Chadwick as a prisoner has al.
ways Stunned the public. Since her
incarceration she has always been sat
isf1ed If she could only be screened
from the gaze OF visitors admitted to
the prison. She even avoids the
scrutiny of the other prisoners.
She has never been required to at
tend chapel exercises in the state
prisoner of either the Protestant or
Catholic church. This immunity was
granted her at her request and also
because it was believed that at first
when her crime was still fresh in the
public mind her presence at the
chapel would draw an undesirable
crowd to these services.
Knows End Is Near.
The fact that she now valves these
objections. together with her espousal

that she realizes that her days are
few and that she will probably never
again be able to leave the hospital.
