Dec. 7.—Lieut. Col. j h. Willard of the United States Engineers Corps and Lieut. Frank W. Ra" lston of the United States Coast Artillery were injured to-day by the premature explosion of a 10-inch gun a t Fort Wetherell at Jamestown, which guards Newport harbor and the entrance to Narragansett bay. Both officers had their eyesight and hearing affected and faces cut. The explosion blew the parapet away, lifted the gun from its car riages and threw it back on the trun nions, partly wrecked. Twenty artil lerymen were thrown to the ground, but were not injured. The explosion was said to have been due to a defective primer on the gun, which was recently installed in the fort and which was being tested by the officers. Lieut. Col. Willard and Lieut. Rawlston were standing on the plat form of the gun carriage while the men were grouped about, when the gun exploded hurling officers and men to the ground.

The gun had been loaded with a 550- pound shell by a detachment of the Ninety-seventh Coast Artillery under the direction of the two officers. The breech had been closed, but the recoil ing gear had not been placed in posi tion. Without the slightest warning the gun was discharged and the recoil lift ed the piece from its carriage and threw it back on its trunnions, wreck ing them as well as the platform. For tunately no one was standing directly behind the gun, but every one near it was thrown to the ground. The shell passed through the top of the parapet, wrecking it, and continued on out to sea.

Squire said to the Associated Press representative: “The arrest of Mrs. Chadwick does not in any way affect the holding we have of her securities, and it does not change the legal proceedings neces sary in the further evolution of the case.” Mr. Squire further said that he did not know the present whereabouts of Mr. Reynolds, who is said to have in his possession the $5,000,000 in securi ties belonging to Mrs. Chadwick.” She Smiled When They Said “Car negie.” The deputy marshals and secret service men, who were in Mrs. Chad wick’s room, said that the name of Andrew Carnegie was mentioned sev eral times and that the sound of the name each time caused Mrs. Chad wick to smile. The officers added that, though nervous, Mrs. Chadwick does not appear as ill as has been re ported. The present arrangements are that Mrs. Chadwick will be taken to Com missioner Shields’ office at 10 o’clock to-morrow, and It is expected that an application will be made to a United States Circuit Court judge by the United States district attorney for a warrant of removal to Ohio. Other* Will Be Involved. One of the prominent men now here from Ohio said: “In a day or two revelations will be made which will show this to be the most colossal affair of the century. “Five prominent New York men, whose names have not yet been men tioned, will be involved as deeply as Mrs. Chadwick. “A number of wealthy and prominent Western men will also be dragged into the case and numerous prosecutions will follow. These facts will be made public through the grand jury investi gation, which begins at Elyria, 0., to morrow.” . Demanded n Sacrifice. Philip Carpenter, one of Mrs. Chad wick’s counsel, had a two hours’ con ference with her after her arrest. When seen later he said: "I anticipated the arrest, not that she had committed any crime, but be cause public cldnior demanded a sac rifice. I have no fear as to the out come of this matter.” Mr. Carpenter said he would repre sent Mrs. Chadwick to-morrow at the proceedings before United States Com missioner Shields. He added that If she was able to give bail, depending on the amount, she probably would re main at her present quarters; if not, she would have to go to Jail. At pres ent he would oppose any suggestion of her going hack to Ohio. . Asked whether she had any recent communication with Andrew Carnegie, Mr. Carpenter said: ‘‘Mrs. Chadwick has not, to my knowledge, had any communication with Mr. Carnegie, nor has he had any communication with her to-day. I re fuse to say anything about the Car negie note, as this is an Ohio matter, and has not come to my knowledge. Mrs. Chadwick will make no state ment to the public. She Upbearing up admirably under the strain, and will appear to answer the charges against her.” Didn’t Try to Escape. Mr. Carpenter asked that a denial be made of the report that Mrs. Chad wick attempted to make her escape to day.

DECEMBER 8. 1004 STORY OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE PROSECUTION. How the Case Again*! Mr*. Chad wick M ils Laid. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 7.—lt was with a great sigh of relief that United States District Attorney Sullivan learned this evening of Mrs. Chadwick's arrest. “Mrs. Chadwick’s arrest has been un der contemplation for the last week.” he said. “I was going to cause her arrest Sunday when the warrants for Beckwith and Spear were sworn out, but I thought it well to go slow in the matter and delayed action until Tues day evening. "At 7 o’clock last night, in Toledo, United States Marshal Chandler ap peared before United States Commis sioner Brough and swore to an affi davit charging Mrs. Chadwick with aiding and abetting in the misapplica tion of funds of a national bank. It was specifically stated in the affidavit that Mrs. Chadwick had aided Presi dent Beckwith and Cashier Spear of the Citizens National Bank of Oberlin, 0., in the misappropriation of $12,500 on Aug. 26, 1903, at which time the woman received from Cashier Spear a certified check for the amount stated. This affidavit was sent in the mail by special delivery to United States Dis trict Attorney Burnett of New York, with instructions to issue a warrant upon it and arrest the woman forth with, Burnett, of course, being advised by wire to look out for the letter. “I received a telegram from Gen. Burnett to-night stating that the pa pers had been received and the war rant issued. A few minutes later came the announcement that the woman had been arrested. I have been in constant communication with the fed eral authorities in New York for over a week. At my request the Attorney General caused secret service officers to be placed jon guard at the Holland (Ho/tel with instructions not to let her get out of their sight for a min ute. I also advised District Attor ney Burnett to have additional sur veillance placed upon her, and he has acted as I requested. If this espion age had not been maintained she would probably have escaped us, as is shown by her sensational attempt to get away in New York this after noon. “To-morrow she will be arraigned before a United States commissioner and will be asked to plead. She can either ask for a preliminary hearing or waive an examination and be bound over to the action of the Unit ed States grand jury, which meets the first Tuesday in February in Cleve land. She may ask for a continu ance of the preliminary hearing, which may thus be delayed for some weeks. If she cannot give bail she will be brought to Cleveland and lodged in jail. If she gives bail after waiving examination or after the pre liminary hearing is over, she will be free to go where she pleases until the grand jury passes upon the case. “I am not quite sure as to the wit nesses I will summon in- the case. I can only name one of them at present. This person will be Irving Belford, now clerk of the United States Court for the Northern district of Ohio, who, in 1890, in Toledo, defended Joseph Lamb, who was arrested with Madame DeVere for forging $40,000 worth of notes. Lamb being acquitted on the ground that he was held in the woman’s pow er and did not knowingly commit a crime. Mr. Belford will be asked to identify Mrs. Chadwick as Madame DeVere, which he declares he can do. “As to the rest of the case which we have prepared. I cannot talk at present. The notes signed with the name of Andrew Carnegie will enter into it, I suppose, and we may try to prove forgery, but I think we can go ahead with the case without the element of forgery being proved. As to whether forgery can be proved I am not now prepared to state.” Regarding the arrest of Mrs. Chad wick, Receiver Nathan Loeser said that it need not necessarily interfere with the bankruptcy petitions; that she can be proceeded against in bankruptcy and her assets distributed among her creditors. A* a Diamond Qaeen. It was learned to-day that Mrs. Chadwick obtained SIIO,OOO worth of jewelry on credit from Thomas Kirk patrick, a jeweler of this city, last win ter, and that the firm has made efforts for several months to get this jewelry or its money equivalent back. Mrs. Chadwick paid a part of the debt recently, it is said, and her obli gation now amounts to about $25,000. John Kiikpatrick, junior member of the firm, was asked whether it was true that Mrs. Chadwick had used the names of either Mrs. John D. Rocke feller or Mrs. John Jacob Astor in se curing credit. He said: “She did not pose as either Mrs. Rockefeller or as Mrs. Astor. Whether she used these names, I am not at liberty at present to say.” THEY ARE WANTED FOR EXAMINATION. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 7.—Application was made late to-day in the United States district court for the summon ing of Cassie L Chadwick, Ira Rey nolds and Emil Hoover, the son of Mrs. Chadwick, for purposes of exami nation In bankruptcy proceedings. The petition was tiled by Nathan Looser, receiver for the Chadwick estate. The petition recites that although reasonable effort has been made, the receiver has thus far been unable to secure possession of the property of Mrs. Chadwick; that Ira Reynolds has in his possession or under his control a certain portion of the estate consist ing of certain stocks, bonds, notes and other securities heretofore certified by the said Reynolds to be worth $5,000,000: that Mrs. Chadwick has in her pos session. or under her control, a large quantity of diamonds and other per sonal property which should now be in the possession of the petitioner, and that Emil Hoover has In his possession, or under his control, property belong ing to Mrs. Chadwick.
