MRS. CHADWICK INTERVIEWED
n Conversation i'm Which Carnegie's
and Madame DeVere's Names
Figure Strikingly.
(By the Associated Press


New York, Dee. S.-Mrs. Chadwick
was interviewed by a representative of
the Associated Press tonight as she
lay on a couch in the office of United
States Marshal Henkel waiting for her
counsel to obtain bOndsmen for her.
She and her nurse and son We're in
the office with a deputy marshal. The
nurse and boy sat beside the weeping
woman and were trying to comfort
her.
Mrs. Chadwick's face was inf1amed
and she had all the appearance of q
woman suffering greatly from nervous
ness.
Mrs. Chadwick's son Emil, was ask
ed if he had seen the statement made
by Mrs. York, of San Francisco, rela
tive to his mothers past life. He said
he had.
"Will you ask your mother if. she
will see a reporter on that statement
made by Mrs York ~
Emil went to his mother, talked to
her in a low tone for few seconds
and then came back and said his
mother would say something about it.
Will Say Nothing of De We're.
Lying on the couch and interrupted
at intervals by slight nervous trem-
ors Mrs. Chadwick said in reference
to Mrs. York's statement:
"I have not read all of it. but /
will leave it to public opinion and to
refined and educated persons what
conclusion they might draw when one
sister makes a statement like that
against another sister
Mrs. Chadwick, is Mrs. York your
sister?"
mo. she is neither my sister nor my
half sister, nor my Sister-in-law. We
were reared together.
'Will you say anything about her
statement that you are Madame De
Vere?"
Il have made absolutely no statement
about this Madame DeVere business
from beginning to end. Out of JUS
tice to my little boy l would not do it
at the present time. / don't think
that any responsible person would pay
any attention to statement made by
Mrs. York.
Everything will work its way out
all right for me and l don't want to
say anything against Mrs. York at all.
/ shall make a statement here in the
very near future and also one in
Cleveland. The newspapers possibly
have written up great sensation, but
/ wish you to say that Madame De
Vere's whereabouts and everything
else in connection with this case will
be shown in a very short time.
''In justice to my child, / don't
tnlnk IT. f1SnU 10 IIldke dlly
statement at this time"
l Am Not Her Daughter.
Mrs Chadwick, it is intimated in
some of the afternoon papers that
this young woman you have here
with you is not your maid, but rela-
tive of yours, possibly a daughter"
The young woman was sitting be-
side her and she spoke up immediate
ly, saying:
II am not related to Mrs. Chadwick
in any way; neither am / her maid.
/ am her nurse. | am a graduate
nurse of an institution in Stockholm,
Sweden, and / am Swedish by birth.
Mrs. Chadwick told of the Oberlin
bank failure, saying it would not have
occurred if the bank could have OBJ
tained its funds in a Cleveland bank.
I could not do SO, she said because
the run was on Saturday night, when
the Cleveland bank was closed.
She continued:
"If it had only happened differently
the bank would not have had 10 fail,
because the obligation would have
been paid. I would not like to live a
minute if 1 did not think l could pay
these poor people back. / have ask
ed Emil, my son, if anything should
happen to me that he would do every
thing to see that the obligations were
paid
Silent as to Carnegie Notes.
Mrs. Chadwick, those alleged Car
negie notes have figured so largely as
| n sensational feature in this case that
no doubt the public would like to
| know what you had to say in relation
, to that"
! Whatever is said about those notes
must be said by my attorney, Mr..
