Woman Is contented
Reclining on a couch in the corridor

content, Mrs. Chadwick said tonight:
It seems very good to be back in -Cleve-
land. for now l feel that | am among
my friends. l am especially delighted at
the treatment accorded me on all sides.
How very different things are here from
what they were in the TOmbS. There
was compelled to remain in dark cell
and had practically no comforts, while here
every environment bespeaks comfort and
cheerfulneSs, SO far as any jail can.
was extremely glad that none of my
friends tried to see me at the station or
while in the county clerks Office. 1t would
have been humihating for them to have
seen me in the custody Of officers, while
they would not have done me any good.
After I become accustomed to my new
surroundings / have no doubt they viii
extend to me the benefits OF their re-
gard.
Let me make it plain why I do not seek
bail. 1t is not because cannot get 1t,

one of the wealthiest men in the country
who has known me since l was twelve
years old. He assured me that despite
the penalty of publicity he would sign
my bail bonds for any amount. snail
refuse his kind offer. for While L am IN

or in a hotel under b Ill I could not hire
men enough to protect me from the al
fronts of these people: 1 shall stay with
Sheriff Barry at least until the BANK
ruptcy case is settled.

tiers to come up Immediately I may be
delayed little.
Mrs. Chadwick was told that while
the public feeling in Cleveland was di-
vided, the people felt that she might
be shielding someone and they were
therefore waiting until she should
make her standing in the case known.
She said.
You may assure my friends, and those
who believe ia me, that will not disap-
point the confidence they repose IN me-
/ will show them and the whole world
that 1 am an honest woman, that 1
have never wrongfully obtained money
from anyone and that I will repay every

will decide on my attorney. Then L VIII
plan my fight for freedom, and for the
re-establishment of my good name.
The home of Mrs. Chadwick on Eu-
cid avenue was this afternoon sur
rendered to Receiver Nathan Loeser,
and he placed custodian in charge OF
the property.
