Chadwick has also been con- | victed of perjury, but several legal | luminaries stated last night that the | Supreme Court decision would probably | have the effect of clearing the defend- | ant of both charges. It is quite likely, therefore, that “Sir Harry” may once again be an ornament {n unrestrained society. No one can deny that the debonair | adventurer is a clever fellow, and that the fair sex is attracted by his de- ceptive face and words of guile is dem- | onstrated by the fact that he has been often wed. The police do not know how many times he has been married, and he has refused thus far to make him f clear in the matter. It was a love affair that put “Sir Harry” in his present predicament. Chadwick completed the execution of | a sentence for forgery in the latter part | of 1900. He went from San Quentin to Crockett and secured a position in a physician’s office. Whether he became‘ addicted to the use of Oriental drugs while in the doctor’s employ is un- | known, but he soon began to think he had a title, a few million dollars and | other al(nhule& not usually found CAPTIVATES LADIES. Had he not imparted his dreams to others, he might have kept out of jail for some time, but he circulated won- drous tales about himself. He was the ning in Crockett's most ex- | clusive . The marriageable | young ladies of the pretty bay town | Were setting their caps for the dazzling | young nobleman. He became intox- jcated with his success as a prevari- and was on the point of favor- ator ing San Francisco with his presence in to hibit his talents before audiences vhen he became enamored of pretty Norine Schneider. The girl was flattered by the 1's condescension in falling in with her. In the Schneider family cle he gave his imagination free | swing. His ancestral castles and ex-| pansive estates in England and in Aus- | a were the principal topics of con- ation. When Norine and her flance | strolled up and down Crockett’s hllls‘ on pleasant afternoons they were the | cyno of all eyes. | To little, unsophisticated Norine it was all like a vision of fairyland. But the girl's mother was careful, if un-| suspicious. e did not like the idea of the hasty marriage the exalted stranger urged. She interposed objec- tions, but ir H " insisted.

But | day he brought Nc to San Francisco. Mrs. Schneider still objected. | As soon as the mother left home| again Chadwick sent the following tel- | egram to his enamorata: “Do what Ernest tells you at once.” It was| signed with the mother’s name. “Er-| nest” told Norine to marry him, and they were wed.

He was | convicted of forgery and perjury., His| sentence the first charge was ten | years in San Quentin. He comes up | for sentence on the perjury charge in| Judge Cook’s court this morning. One of his wives was present at the trial on | the bigamy charge. but the others could not come by reason of lack of money or time, or because of pressure of busi- ness. He escaped through a techni- cality. An appeal was taken from .the con- viction on the charge of sending a forged telegram, and Chadwick went to the Broadway Jail, where he has ince resided. When Norine testified against him “Sir Harry” gave her back her heart and a few months ago she| gave it away again to a resident of | the interior. Then one day Ernest became con- verted by a Salvation Army lassie. Her | name was Teresa Van Valden. and she lived at 1759 Mission street. She quietly | secured the necessary license from | “Cupid” Danforth and she and Chad- | wick were married at the County Jail. | The authorities knew nothing of the happy event until it was all over. | When the Chadwicks celebrated their | marriage Dempsey and Dasha, who have since been convicted in the Chi- nese substitution cases, were on duty at the jail. Frank Murphy, said last night: Chadwick’s attorney, “The perjury case will nothing else for which he can be tried and I think you will see ‘Sir Harry’ out again soon.” | ““What’s in a name?”’ ‘Well, William, think of the bother to busy men were “'Old Gilt Edge | Whiskey” charged to another name—any ofher name—weli, William? | —————— Sues for Loss of Mare.

In order to make sure that these goods were up to the standard according to specifications the board obtained per- mission from the quartermaster’'s de- partment of the United States army | to have one of the regular lnspec(orsi of clothing for the army inspect the coats. The work was carried on according | to the standard of the army, with the | result that yesterday the local agent | for the company named was officially | notified that all the coats had been | rejected for the reason that while the cloth was up to the standard, the ma- terial other than the cloth used in| the makeup of the garments was not | up to the standard. For that reason the board refused to accept the goods. | It is stated that the rest of the coats are on the way to this city for delivery. When received these will also be inspected and the board will | be guided in regard to the shipment | as. it was in regard to the coats lhat’ have been rejected. The caps have been inspected and found to be faultless. ———————— = | Widow Gets $5000 Damages.
