ficially been announced that claim OF
one of her largest creditOrs-the one

minuation of interest, today, in the
case of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick. the

fairs have furnished a series of sensa-
tons almost unparalleled. The claim

apparently has been removed from
further consideration according to a
statement of Mrs. Chadwicks at
torneys. was only an incident. Other
claims still pending are known to ag-
gregate four times that amount they
say. and for all they know, may total
one hundred times the sum named by
Newton. Many of the claims against
her. the attorneys say, have no basis
in fact and the claims will be shown
to be fraudulent at the proper time

make the announcement that Mrs

This statement was made, today, by
George Ryall. of local counsel for err

Mrs. Chadwick.
Where Mrs. Chadwick obtained the
aid Mr.. Ryall did not state, but 1t is

time in the Wall street financial dis
trict, yesterday. and was for several
hours in the offices Of firm of attor-
neys which frequently has acted as le-
gal representative for one of the coun-

the visit that Mr.. Newton's lawyers an
nounced that they were satisfied that

was thronged with a curious crowd In
a few moments the crowd had swollen
to such proportions that half a dozen ex-
