is an Ohio incident 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"
 MT. Carpenter asked that 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 Amsterdam she consulted with the secret service agents, who added that they had been informed by Mrs. Chadwick each time she changed her quarters.
 Breathes Sigh of Relief.
 Cleveland, O.. December Tt was with great sigh of relief that United States District Attorney Sullivan received the | Associated Press bulletin this evening announcing Mrs. Chadwick's arrest. He appeared before the waiting newspaper men a moment later with the news, and then calling them into his private office, gave them the particulars of the way the case had been handled for the last week. Mrs Chadwick's arrest has been un- | der contemplation for the last week.
 he said q was going to cause her ar rest Sunday when the warrants for Beck with and Spear were sworn out but 1 thought it well to go slow in the mat ter, and delayed action until Tuesday eve | ming. At o'clock last night the United 1 States marshal appeared before United States Commissioner Brough and swore to an affidavit charging Mrs. Chadwick
 with aiding and abetting in the misapplica- tion of the funds of a national bank. It

 Beckwith and Cashier Spear of the Cit

 If this espionage had not been main 1 tained she would probably have escaped us. I do not know what the New York 1 authorities will do with Mrs. Chadwick tonight but tomorrow she will be ar

 can either ask for a preliminary hearing
 or wave an examination, and be bound
