Squire said to the Associated Press rep

reSenlatlVe.
The arrest OF Mrs. Chadwick does
not in any way affect the holding We
have on her securities and IL does not
change the legal proceedings necessary
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 $1,000. 900 in securi-
ties belonging to Mrs. Chadwick.
The deputy marshals and secret SER
vice men, who were in Mrs Chadwick's 8
room, said that the name OF Andrew
Carnegie was mentioned several times
and that the sound of the name each
time caused Mrs. Chadwick to smile.
The officers added that though ner-
vous Mrs. Chadwick does not appear as
i'll as has been reported.
The present arrangements are that
Mrs. Chadwick will be taken TO Com
missioner Shields at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning and it is expected that an
application will be made to a United
States Circuit court judge by the Unit
ed states district attorney for a war
rant of removal to Ohio
Philip Carpenter one of Mrs. Chad
wicks counsel, had a two hours con-
ference with her after her arrest When
seen later he said:
Il anticipated the arrest, not that
she had committed any crime, but be-
cause public clamor demanded a sac
rifice. 1 have no fear as to the out
come of this natter
Mr.. Carpenter said he would repre-
sent Mrs. Chadwick tomorrow at the
m; ~
missioner Shields He added that if
she was able to give bail, depending on
the amount, she probably would remain
at her present quarters, if not she would
have to go to Jail. At present he would
oppose any suggestion Of her going back
to Ohio.
Asked whether she had any recent
communication with Andrew carnegie
Mr.. Carpenter said:
Mrs. Chadwick has not to my knowl-
edge had any communication with Mr..
Carnegie nor has he had any commune
cation with her today. I refuse to say
anthing about the Carnegie note as
this is an Ohio matter and has not come
to my knowledge. Mrs. Chadwick will
make no statement to the public She
is bearing up admirably under the
strain and will appear to answer the
charges against her.
Mr. Carpenter asked that a denial be
made of the report that Mrs. Chadwick
attempted to make her escape today.
He said that before she moved to the
Hotel Breslin from the New Amster-
dam she consulted with the secret SER
vice men. This statement was confirm
ed by one of the secret service agents,
who added that they had been Informed
by Mrs. Chadwick each time she
changed her quarters.
Andrew Carnegie said today that he
had not the slightest intention of pros
ecuting anybody for forging his sigma
ture to notes even if further investiga-
tion showed that such forgery mas been
committed.
1t was learned today that Mrs. Chad
wick obtained $4,000 of jewelry on
credit from Thomas Kirkpatrick,
jeweler of this city, last winter, and
that the firm has made efforts for sew
eral months to get this jewelry or its
money equivalent back.
Mrs. Chadwick paid part of the debt
recently, it is said and her obligation
now amounts to about $4,000.
John Kirkpatrick, junior member OF
the firm, was asked whether it was true
that Mrs. Chadwick had used the names
of either Mrs. John D. Rockefeller or
Mrs. John Jacob Astor in securing
credit. He said she did not pose as
either Mrs. Rockefeller or as Mrs. AS
tor. Whether She used these names, 1
am not at liberty at present to say
One of the prominent men now here
from Ohio said:
I'm 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
toned, 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 investigation
which begins at Elyria, O.. tomorrow"
