y on the steamship Pretoria, rn the
in
wtwNntlet of big Vcrowda which v htd
tted for hours to see h!m;waa hailed
fepkeuTraliCE beefqasrters and
to the Becorder'sCourt and finally left
or Cleveland, not as a prisoner but as
he guest of Sheriff Barry, 'who had
come from Ohio with a warrant for
the Doctor'a arrestwhich he did not
serve. His daughter remained in Ho-
boken and in a few daya will go to
Jacksonville, Fla. The doctor'a de
parture was delayed several hours Mn
order that he michtarrange for Miss
Obadwick'a trip aoutb. v v
Dr. Chad wick gare the Associated
Press a long intervitw after his arriv
al. In reply to questions he said : -
"I am Inexpressibly shocxed by the
recent turn of events, v I am Innocent
of all charges against ne and can point
Uh pride to a 65 yiar residence in
Cleveland. I cannot believe that the
dreadful things prlntd by the papers
are true. I am entlely without in
formation as to the cae except what I
read in in the Paris papers and what
you have been good enough to tell ma.
So I can aay nothing' of the awful
cbargea against my wit?. . ;
"Ob, this is awral, awful, awrui.
My life the past few veeks has been
a ilvtng death, and I bone no man will
ever go throueh wha.' I have under
gone To think that my professional
career , which had slwaya been suc
cessful, should be blighted. My
daughter Mary, paor little' darlinr, I
love her with my life. - When I recov
ered from my illness In Paris, my
financial Resources made it necessary
for me to travel in the second cabin.
I insisted ihas she go first, bat the
noble girl refused and has kept at my
side, cneerlag me in my dark hours of
troeble and proving to me more ana
more what a spllndkL woman ahe is.
- t,Ob, this is a dreadful calamity. I
had no Idea that such a fate was mine.
I know little of MrsJChad wick's finan
cial affair, and untfl I find out the de
tails will say nottyng. I am over
whelmed by the changes against her."
Dr. Chad wick reid the Associated
Press dispatch '. fron Cleveland that
Mrs. Chad wick had been measured by
the Bertlllon ayateduAs be finished
the reading he groined aloud, and as
he turned to tbe correspondent tears
rolled down his cieeks. The doctor,
already ill and aore at heart, was com
pletely overwhelmed by the revelation
and the consequent developments. , -'

me that my friend, Mr. Barry, la here
to take me Jback. Well, I am ready
to go and shall be hsppy to accompany

coming thaifl anticipated. I knew I
should find troubles and breakers
ahead, but I never for a moment an
ticipated arrest. Guilty I Of course
I'm not guilty. I am absolutely inno
cent. And you aay poor old Bechwith
Is very ill. Poor man 1 I know him
but little,' but I am sure he is inno

The correspondent then , told Dr.'
Chadwlek of tbe statement that has
been made that Mrs. Chad wick in be
lieved to be Mme. Devere. The phy
sician fell back aa if atunned.
"Mme. Devere I" he cred. " 'Qh no,
no, don't aay that" " T cannot be so.
1 dont belie va -n thing csn
mads an eloquent plea for his friend.
In a voice ringing with - sincerity Mr.
Barry told the court of Dr. Chad wick's
honorable record - in Cleveland and of
the spotless life he had led, and' said
that Prosecuting Attorney Eeeler, of
Olevelaed, hd asked him not to place
the doctor under arrest unless he at
tempted to fight arrest. "He Is" my
lifelong friend," said the sheriff,
"and I ask that my friend be allowed
to accompany me In a manner fitting
his previous condition. "
The Recorder asked If any one
would make complaint against-the
Cleveland physician but no voice was
heard and tbe magistrate, after wait-:
ing for a reply ssid: "Defendant dis
charged." Dr. Chadwlek, Miss Chadwlek, and
Sheriff. Barry had a narrow escape
from death shortly after leaving the
police court. They were in a ' hack
driving to Meyers' Hotel. In turning
the corner one of the horsea slipped
on the Icy crossing and: fell, badly
tangling itself in the harnets.AAt the
same time a large truck v ywas
following closely beh nd, cmv tsh
ing down uppn the hack. , The V Ver
was unable to atop his horses anuSlor
a moment it seemed as -if the aniutl
would go through -the carriage with
bis load. Sheriff - Barry, perceiving
the danger, leaped out of tbe back and
grasping the truck horse by tbe bridle
by main force, pushed him on to the
sidewalk so that the truck missed the
hack by a few inches.:: Dr. Chadwlek
and hla daughter were greatly frlgbt
ened by the experience. - n : J l
Miss Mary Chadwlek is a diminu
tive little woman, pretty of face and
dainty In manner. Throughout the
long wait in the police station in Ho
boken) while the police conferred, she
sat inthe police room and bore up un
der the strain with remarkable f orti
thde. I On the long walk from the
pier to the station ahe clung to Sheriff
Barry's, arm and shrank from the
piercing gtzs of the crowds which fol
lowed in the wake of the party, r'-
Dft Obadwick'a cabin on the Preto
ria waa In decided contrast to the cab
in be occupied on the Kaiser Wilbelm
II, on which he sailed for Europe ear
ly in November. It waa an inside
room about 8x8 width, two harrow
bertb, onb above the other and a bit
of a settee.- Conveniences were scan
ty and luxuries were out of the ques
tion. Dr. Chadwlek apent most of his
time on deck in pleasant weather with
his daughter. ,
i Mrs.haswlck Throws Into Hysterics
Clstklabp, O., Dec 3L Judge
Tilden In the criminal court to-day
fixed the ballot Dr. Chadwlek at $10,
000. : Attorney Dawley etated that a
bond for that amount will probably be
ready" when Dr. Chadwlek arrives
here. :
With tears streaming down her face
and wringing her hands in nervous
excitement. Mrs. Chad wick: listened
in the corridor. of the county jil to
the reading of the Associated Preta
dispatcher, telling of the scenes enact
ed on board tbe steamer Pretoria.
Blrs.Cnsdwick waa unable to contra!
her feelings antS interrupted tbe read
in.: of the dispatchea at almost every
word with some comment. "On, my
poor husband, ahe exclaimed between
her tobs, "to think that he must be
dragged into these terrible charges
against me. He Is as lnnocsnt of any
wrong doing aa an unborn babe."
When the paragraph of tbe dispatch
stating that Dr. Chadwlek would be
brought to Cleveland not aa a prisoner
but as the guest of Sheriff Harry, Mrs.'
Chadwlek exclaimed :
"Thank God for that."
Bef erring to the doctor's expression
in reference to bis daughter Mary,
Mrs. Chadwlek said "Ob, the poos
girl I How will ahe ever bear thm
(rightful affldlon 1"
Tnen when the doctor's statement
detailing the- circumstances under
which he bad met and married his
present wife was read, Mrs. Chadwlek
sprang to her feet and pscing up and
down the jail corridor, shrieked in
mmtil aonnv nntll hfP ffrtna O.nil Id be
heard throughout the building, fit is
not true," she cried. "I don't believe
that the doctor ever said anything of
the kind."
For a momeat the woman contin

narrow confines of thecorridor, then,
suddenly stopping she tottered and
throwing up her arms fell to the floor

brought forward from preceding years
nd so much of the crop of tbe suc

the other hand, a deduction has to be
made for cotton of that year's growth
marketed during the preceding com
mercial jear or carried forward to the;
year following. M . 3
Independent of these adjustments
tbe department's preliminary estimate
of tbe crop of 1899 made, it ahould be
remembered by tbe entire crop was'

from tne amount marketed , last year;
that of the year 1900, 2.9 per cent; tbat

the amount grown : and . the . com-.
feercial crop. That year the difference
as so great, 9 per cent, that a special
Investigation was made by field agents
jwlth a view to ascertaining its cause
and It was found that while the De
partment's estimates of the amount
rown was 989,000 bales less then the
commercial crop "proved to be, the es
timate differed only 292,000 bales or
jess than 3 per cent, from the actual
crop. The reason ! for the apparent
'great discrepancy was that In addition
