Show yi CLEVELAND -MOB;. NOT A FRIEID TO GREET HER CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 15. Mrs. Cas-ele Cas-ele L. Chad wick Is In Jc.ll here. Her courage held to the last, but her body failed her, and when she had mounted the three tights ut stairs leading lead-ing to the tier of cells where she is to remain she collapsed utterly and fell In a dead faint.' But for the aid of deputy United States Marshals, who held her up and almost carried her along as she mounted the stairs, she never would " have been able to reach her cell. Breathless, pale and staggering, she . waa barely able to reach a chair as the steel door of the, women's1 corridor swung open to receive her. She sank feebly Into the chair, her bead fell backward back-ward and but for the Marshals , she would have rolled to the floor. Water was quickly brought to her and - In a few seconds she revived and was again a 'woman of business. -Her -first-request was that her lawyer, Sheldon Q. Kerrulsh, be sent for. and she was soon . engaged in a conference .with him concerning con-cerning her defense. , There Is small chance that she will be able to leave the Jail before ber trial. There are now seven Indictments against her five additional charges having been laid against her In. the Federal Fed-eral court yesterday. - It would require surety to the amount of at leakt 100.000 to give her freedom, and there la r.sw:Jy In Cleveland who will furnish that amount or her. . She hag herself no idea of giving bail, and . . will remain In Jail. She has the bet cell in the place, but It Is not a nice cell, nor Is the county jail of Cuyahoga county a nice. jail, even. aa jails go. When the train finally rolled Into the station there was a rush from the further fur-ther end of the Iron fence that kept the crowd of curious from the tracks. This mob had broken through the police, swarmed over the fence and. through the gate upon the tracks, so that when the train came to a standstill there were about 1000 persons about the cars? : When the train drew Into the station at Cleveland, Mrs. Chadwick caught a glimpse of the . gTeat -crowd which swarmed about the train shed and was grouped on. vantage points on the heights surrounding the .station,. She distinctively shrank back into a corner of the drawing room and said: "I cannot see why- all -those- people fci-juld be here."-' : ' . Although In her own city no friendly face greeted her at the cat and. Mrs. Chadwick stepped into her carriage as if she had teen an entire stranger to this community. As soon as Mrs. Chadwick Chad-wick was recognised by the crowd there was a. spontaneous outburst of Jeers, whistles and shouts of coarse epithets. The crowd was Increased by other that Were attracted by the demonstration. demonstra-tion. People ran from' all directions and crowded about the central figures of the case, and not until the peace were called upon could the officers attempt at-tempt to conduct their prisoner to the carriage In waltlne. Shouts tf "Here's the" notes" and ''Where's the 1 money?" greeted Mrs. Chadwick upon her appearance, and as the viciousness of the mob dawned upon her she seemed to grow faint and wavered wav-ered as though about to fall. It seemed that but for the deputy marshals' supporting sup-porting her she must Utterly collapse. As -soon as the police could clear a way arid bring about some semblance of order about the station platform the officers of-ficers Jed. their prisoner, toward the gate and out through the' entrance. There the street was almost blocked and well nigh impassable to the carriages and teams. The camera fiend was there In all his glory, despite the overcast sky and dark day, and through this battery paesed Mrs. Chadwick. Marshal Chandler Chand-ler and, his two deputies into their carriage. car-riage. They were immediately driven away to the Federal building. Mrs. Chadwick's son, Emil. and the nurse, Freda, followed In a second carriage. car-riage. During all this time the crowd kept hooting and jeering, and aa the carriages rolled away from the station they were followed by some of the crowd. The shouts and cries were taken up and passed along all the way td the Federal building, through the busiest part of the city. Business men on the way home, shoppers shop-pers and laborers seemed to have been notified of the woman's arrival, and crowded to the curb. The Jeers and hoots were taken up along the entire line and as each square that brought the party nearer the business center was passed the crowd continued to increase, and to avoid the increasing excitement the officials arranged to approach the Federal building from the rear. As the carriages reared the building the crowds on the sidewalks broke into the streets and many began to run alongside the carriages, expecting to see Mrs. CEadwlck aa she entered the building build-ing by the main entrance. In this the crowd that had assembled before the Federal building waa disappointed, disap-pointed, for the carriage with the prisoner prison-er was driven Into an alley In the rear of the building. There waa much delay here because of the narrow passage way being blocked with wagons. The crowd already there was augmented bv that which had assembled before the front of the building, and there was a veritable blockade. The police were forced to drive the crowd away with clubs, while they extricate ex-tricate the carriage from the tangle with the wagons. All this added to the excitement, excite-ment, and eager faces were thrust in the carriage and vulgar expressions hurled at the occupants. After consuming tw.nty minutea in going a distance of about twice as many feet, the prisoner's carriage car-riage was drawn up at the rear of the Federal building, and, with the officers, she waa taken to the Marshal's office on the fifth floor, on the freight elevator. The police continued to beat back the crowd, and out of the next carriage the nurse, Freda, was assisted and taken up to loin her mistress. While Mrs. Chadwick Chad-wick with her nurse was in the Federal building-, Emil. In the carriage outside was subjected to the scrutiny of the mob and waa forced to listen to anathemas and maledictions, as well aa sarcastic and bitter reference to "notes," "diamonda " "securities," and the like. The insults and jeers were not confined to one class. They seemed to be heartily taken up by everyone on the streete In the neighborhood. Even the clerks In the postoffice. working on the ground floor of the building, flocked to a rear door, located lo-cated next to the one entered by Mrs. Chadwick, and, , laughingly shouted: "Let's see the securities." referring to burgage of Mrs. Chadwick and Freda, which they saw through the carriage doors. |
