Serea C'oaata In Indictment Declared Good Maximum Penalty la TO, OOO Flae and Foarteem Years In Prison. CLEVELAND, O., March ll.-Mrs. Cas sle L. Chadwick was tonight found guilty of conspiracy to violate the United States banking laws by conspiring to procure the certification of checks on a national bank, when there were no funds In the bank to her credit. She was found irullty on every count of the Indictment upon which the Jury was at liberty to Judge her, seven in all. The original Indictment contained sixteen counts. Two of these were ruled out dur ing the trial by Judge Tayler, and of tho remaining fourteen one-haf charged her with securing the certification of checks without having the proper entries mada on the books of the bank. Judge fayler In his charge directed the Jury to disregard these counts and consider only the re maining seven, which related to the certi fication with no funds on deposit On all of these the Jury found against her. Penalty Provided by Law. Under the law she can be fined on each count, not more than $10,000 nor imprisoned more than two years on each count. The Jury left the court room at 3:33. It waa announced two hours later that a verdict had bern reached and the Jurors asked to be taken out to dinner. Word was sent to Judge Tayler at his hotel, and he set 8:30 as the time at which he would appear In court to receive the verdict. The Jury went out at 6:16 and returned at 7:30. Court was opened promptly at 8:30 and the ver dict read at 8:33. Mrs. Chadwick . came into court about five minutes before the Jury. She was accompanied by her son, Emll Hoover, and two trained nurses. She sank into the seat she had occupied during the trial and rested her face In the palm of her right hand a position she held al most constantly throughout the sessions of court. During the afternoon she had suf fered severely from a cramp In her" right arm, being at times barely able to use It. She forgot all about the cramp tonight In her excitement and moved the arm as though nothing had ever troubled It. For several minutes the courtroom waited, not a motion be!ng made by any body. Then Judge Tayler entered from his chambers and walked quickly to his chair. "I have it, your honor," said Clerk Carlo ton, holding up a slim, white paper. Then turning his face to the courtroom the clerk said: "Gentlemen, answer to your names aa they are called." All of the Jury responded and then Clerk Carleton unfolded the verdict and stood up and read: "We find as to count 1 guilty. We find as to count 8 guilty." The same sentence was repeated five more times, and then Mr. 'Carleton, resum ing his seat, commenced' energetically to enter the verdict on his record. "Gentlemen," said the Judge, "was this 1 your verdict?" . 1 An articular murmur of assent arose from the Jury and in a few words Judge Tayler thanked and dismissed the Jury. Defendant Collapses. All this time Mrs. Chadwick had failed to grasp the meaning of the verdict. She Is slightly deaf and Clerk Carleton read the verdict In a tone so low that It was nearly Inaudible ten feet away. As the people around began to ' move ahd talk v the prisoner grasped the fact that for good or 111 her fate was decided-. She shot a quick glance at Judge Wing, whose tall form and handsome countenance" were" Close at her side. The sorrowful expression of his face told mora than the words with which he responded to her look of appeal. "We have lost, Mrs. Chadwick," waa all he said. Thla time she realised It, She turned half round to look at Emll Hoover behind her, and reading there a confirmation of the words of Judge Wing, she flushed deeply and raised her hand In a bewildered fashion to her head. Suddenly her limbs seemed to give way beneath jer and she sank feebly Into her chair. Her head fell forward on her hands and a succession of strangling sobs came from her, while Emll and Judge Wing sought vainly to comfort her. Motion for Sew Trial. 'The government moves for sentence. your honor," said District Attorney Sulli van. 'We desire to enter a motion for a new trial," said Judge Wing, stepping forward. "I will at a future time set a date for the argument on the motion for a new trial," said Judge Tayler, "and I presume the matter can rest until that time." "That la satisfactory to th government," said Mr. Sullivan. Judge Wing bowed a silent assent and stepped back to the side of his distressed client. Mrs. Chadwick soon composed herself, raised her hand, wiped her eyes and rose to her feet with an air of bidding defiance. Attended by Deputy Marshal Cloblta, Emll Hoover and Judge Wing, she walked stead ily to the hallway to false the elevator. Here she collapsed again, and she was taken, half walking and half carried. Into the office of United States Marshal Chand ler and placed on a sofa. The two nurses were In prompt attend ance and applied restoratives. In about half an hour from the time she entered the marshal's office Mrs. Chadwick waa restored to comparative composure and was then taken to the Jail. From the time of leaving the marshal's office until the door of the Jail closed behind her she kept up a continuous moaning that was distressing to hear. Chars; of th Jailer. It was Just 8:3J when Judge Tayler fin ished reading his charge and Informed the Jurors tha they were at liberty to retire. The charge of Judge Tayler, which oc cupied an hour In the reading, was satis factory to both sides. He directed that Mrs, Chadwick should be acquitted of one- half the counts In the Indictment, which were based on the charge that the amount of the checks had not been regularly en tered on the books of the bank to the credit of the maker of th checks. There was no evidence, the court declared, to show that she was in position to know anything about the books. The finer questions of law Involved, the definitions of "reasonable doubt" and out sldo of thes th main declaration of the charge were as follows: All of tho facts proved In the rase must not only be consistent with and rmlnt in the guilt of the defendant, but the facts must i inconsistsm witn tier innocence. It matters not how clearly the clrcunrv stances point to guilt, still If they ar rea onably explainable on the theory which ex cludes guilt, she should be aoqulttsd. After defining a conspiracy the Judge said; If vou find from the evidence that such an arrangement as I have defined was made by the defendant with either of the parties with whom she is charged with con spiring, and that th act charged as being dona In furtherance of such arrangement was performed by either nna of the imrties fo chargud with conspiring. It will be your duly to return a veraici i'i guuiy. Defendant Lose Hon. Mr. Chadwick, al th conclusion of th trial, was cool and composed. She listened to th argument narrowly aaj to th Judge' charge with evident anxiety. After the Jury had filed out she said: The chara-e of the Judae was fair, and 1 believe that If it rested with the bench that I would be discharged. However, I do not know what the Jury will do. I hope, of course, hat It will be a verdict of ac quittal, but I fear It will not be. I cannot get Justice in Cleveland. With the exception of the time occupied by Judge Tayler In the reading of his charge, the two sessions of court were con sumed by Attorney Dwwley. fnr the de fense, and District Attorney Sullivan in their arguments. In making his argument Attorney Dawley, emphasizing a point, slapped a Juror on the knee and ones called Juror Haymaker by name. The dis trict attorney declared In his argument that the defense believed It had Influenced one Juror, without, however. Indicating him In any way. "It may be," he said, "that the power of Casrte Chadwick over me has not dimi nished. It may be that the look of her eye and the sound of her voice can still exert their chsrm. I wonder which one of you It Is that has fallen under the power of this duchess of diamonds." Mr. Dawley looked at the Judge as If ssk ing him to Interfere, but the Judge made no sign. "It's In the case," said Mr. Bull;van. who caught the look of Mr. Dawley, "and I have the right to discuss It In the argu ment." After reaching her cell Mrs. Chndwlck continued to weep and moan. After being behind the bars for a few minutes she fainted and a hurried call was sent for Dr. Burke. He revived her arid when leaving the Jail said he did not apprehend any serious results. . Dr. Chadwick Declines to Talk. Dr. Chadwick declined to discuss the verdict in any manner. He has not been present at any time during the trial and his first Information of the result was con veyed In a telephone message from a news paper man. The conversation was as follows: "Have you heard, doctor, that Mrs. Chadwick has been found guilty?" "No." "She has. Is there anything you care to say about the matter?" The doctor simply hung up the telephone receiver. DRUGGISTS ARE IN COURT Officer of National Association Called I'poa ' to Defend Salt by Retailer.

Arrangements have been made by the Douglas County Law Library association to purchase the law library of ,(M vol umes In the New York Life building for $10,000. If the New York Life Insurance company, which owns the collection of books, does not back out of the agreement. the money will be paid over early next week and the bargain consummated. Until the Crelghton Law school, now under ccn structlon.

As soon as the law school building Is ready the books will be moved Into quarters to be provided on the second floor and will remain there perma nently. About $2,000 will be spsnt to make the library absolutely complete, so far as statutes, state, federal, English and Cana dian reports are concerned, and later on text books will be purchased, as there are none of these now Included In the library.

Hustle for the Cash. The New York Life library was closed January 1, after being continued open a year longer than was at first deemed ad visable. The library association was formed and Incorporated and negotiations opened Immediately toward the subscription of stock and the purchase of the necessary volumes. It was estimated that about $15, 000 would be required. The sum of $11,100 has been subscribed, but little or none of the money had been paid until this week. Bids had been obtained from two book concerns and an offer of $10,000 made by the New York Life Insurance company. This was about Ift.OuO cheaper than the other propositions, and though It was estimated that It will take from $1,600 to 2,0o0 to bring the old library up to date, the deal was considered a good one If It could be made. The owners declared they wanted to close up the matter quickly .and refused to accept part payment In cash and the remainder within a few months. So Indif ferent did they seem about th matter that the Omaha lawyers deeply Interested In the proposition were aroused and began to try to collect the subscriptions. Friday C. J. Smyth and 11. C. Brome spent practically tho whole day soliciting money and by evening- had garnered $8,3CO, which waa fur ther augmented by $800 more Saturday morning. With this amount In hand all thought of abandoning the purchase of the New York Life library were dispelled, and announcement waa mada that the full cash price would be tendered Monday or Tues day, the leaders In the movement advan cing what was needed on unpaid subscrip tions. In addition to the amounts In hand and subscribed the lawyers will endeavor to have the county take $900 worth of stock, or $100 for each Judge, and the city $300, or $100 for each attorney tn the legal depart COURT HEARS ARGUMENTS New Phase of Colorado Election Con test Is Submitted to tho Judges. DENVER, Colo., March 11. The state su prme court today heard arguments on th question of taking up the Interroga tories submitted by th general assembly with a view of testing (he legality of the proposition to oust Governor Alva Adams and seat Lieutenant Governor Jesse F. Mo Donald as governor. Attorney for James H. Peabody, con t?stor for the governorship, argued that the court could not take cognizance of th questions, but that the legislature could not legally seat the lieutenant governor as governor, and If a vacancy were de- cared former Governor Peabody would thereby be reinstated in tho office, which he surrendered to Alva Adams after the legislature canvassed the returns and de clared him elected. The antl-Feabody republicans proposition, that the legislature has a right to declare a vacancy In tha office of governor and seat the lieutenant governor, was advocated by several attorneys. Senator Edward T. Taylor, as amicus curiae, contended that the court had no right to assume Jurisdiction or answer th interrogatories. This afternoon Attorney John M. Vald ron, for the Peabody republicans, and former Governor C. A. Thomas, for the democrats, argued against the legality of the proposition at Issue and the powers of the supreme court to take cognizance of It.
