NOtoriety-Nrs. Chadwick Want
ed to Go to Cleveland, But Her
Lawyers Would Not Consent TO
That Move.
New York, Dec. 9.-After a day full
of disagreements with her counsel as
to whether she should waive examina-
tion and go to Cleveland. Mrs. Chad
wick finally consented to remain an
other night in the Tombs, but ex-
pressed the hope that she might leave
there tomorrow.
Mrs. Chadwick had made UP her
mind to ignore the advice of her local
counsel, Messrs. Carpenter and Pow
ers, and go to Cleveland to stand trial
there. when late in the afternoon she
received a telegram from her Cleveland
counsel, Judge Albaugh, asking her not
to return to Cleveland just yet. This
telegram caused her to remain over
night.
Lawyer Carpenter then notified Mar
shall Henkel of her intention, and the
marshal and United States Commits
sioner Shields announced that they
would not remain at their offices after
the usual closing hour on her account,
as they did last night.
Lawyers Carpenter and Powers had
a conference after leaving Mrs. Chad
wick, and Mr.. Carpenter said that
nothing further would be done for the
night.
In regard to what would be done to-
morrow, Mr.. Carpenter was non-com-
initial.
willing to Take Any BOndsman.
Nothing win be done before noon."
continued Mr.. Carpenter. Il do not
care to say whether we have given
up the question of securing bail or not
but if you know anybody who is will
ing to go on her bond send him along.
We could have obtained bail to-day
were it not for the notoriety attached
to the case"
Mr.. Carpenter declined to discuss
the alleged Carnegie notes, or say
positively whether Mrs. Chadwick
would waive examination tomorrow or
not. Neither would he say anything
about the report that the alleged se-
curities of Mrs Chadwick had been
examined and found to be worthless.
Mrs. Chadwick spent the greater
part of the time from Z o'clock this
morning until this afternoon in the
corridor in front of her cell. Here
she talked with her lawyers and 9TH
ers who called to see her, including her
son. Emil and her nurse, Freda. Most
of her visitors remained with her as
long as the prison rules would per-
nit.
'Behind These Awful Bars"
Mrs. Chadwick was led to her cell
in the Tonlbs prison by an attendant
about o'clock. To the matron, Mrs.
Chadwick said:
81 am glad 1 am not going to
Cleveland tonight. am tired enough
to sleep well, 1 think, even behind
these awful bars. 1t has been an ex-
tremeIy trying day, and 1 am thank
full it is over. l do not care to go
through many more such ordeals."
In her cell Mrs. Chadwick ate a
hearty supper. She had chopped beef,
sprinkled, with grated onion. coffee and
oranges.
The matron said Mrs. Chadwick
showed a marked improvement over
her condition in the morning. After

and said it was her first peaceful mo-
ment since her troubles in New York
began.
Warden Flynn of the Tombs was so
nervous over the welfare of Mrs. Chad
wick and the possibilities of her doing
herself bodily harm that to-day he
enforced the rule applied only in ex-
ceptional cases of not allowing her
either knife or fork with which to
eat Consequently the lamb chop
which she ordered had to be cut for
her and she ate it with a spoon.
Question of Her sanity.
A report was current about the
Tombs that request for the appoint
ment of a commission to examine Mrs.
Chadwick as to her sanity will be
made. Lawyer Powers was asked If
there was any truth in the rumor.
II am not prepared to talk on that
point just now" he replied after some
hesitation. He was asked again If
there was any foundation for such a
rumor. He laughed and said:
ut would make a pretty good de-
fense in a criminal action, wouldn't
it."
When Mr.. Carpenter was asked as
to the probability of securing bail, he
said:
"The situation is exactly the same as
1t was last night. Men are willing to
give the bail, but as in the Patterson
case, they fear notoriety."
