The San Francisco call., 1904-12-10
Mrs. Chadwick Still
Behind Doors Of
Prison.
Will Not Go Voluntarily to
Cleveland to Face Her
ACCuSerS.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.


NEW YORK, Dec. s.--After having
announced her intention to waive ex-
animation here and return at once to
Cleveland to face her accusers, Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick changed her mind
late this afternoon and decided to
spend another night in her cell in the
Tombs. Her attorneys did not know
tonight what her plans would be.
Every possibility of obtaining bail here
appears to have been exhausted. Where
few months ago she secured sums ap-
preaching millions from banker friends,
she is now unable to get the few thou
sands which would unlock her prison
doors.
1t is because of the sentiment against
her in Cleveland that her attorney
there, a one-time law partner of Will
liam Mckinley, advised her by tele-
graph to-day under no circumstances
TO think of leaving New York for the
present, even though she meanwhile
has to remain in prison. Her attorneys
here, Philip Carpenter and Edmond w.
Powers, also urged her to remain, and
finally, apparently against her own viii
and judgment, she yielded to their ad-
vice and at the last moment notified
United States Marshal Henkel that he
need make no further preparations to
take her away. This was after the
train had been selected on which she
was to be taken awaa, u,sder charge Of
deputy marshal.
She succeeded in almost exhausting
the patience of the Federal officials,
who have gone far out of their way to
extend courtesies to her. For hours she
kept Marshal Henkel. United States
Commissioner Shields and Assistant
United States District Attorney Bald
win waiting for her decision whether
she would or would not waive exam
ination and go to Cleveland under ar
rest.
With the suspense ended as to her
possible arrest, Mrs. Chadwick ap-
in much better physical and mental
condition to-day. She spent a rest
less night, but was able in the morning
to eat the most of a special breakfast
ordered from the "Tombs Delmonico."
Her other meals during the day were
equally satisfactory to her. and at mid
night tonight she was reported as
sleeping peacefully.
Mrs. Chadwick's day began with the
prison call of "All up at half-past
6 o'clock. The matron went to her to
explain the prison regulations and
found her dressing and apparently
much improved both in mind and body.
AFTER breakfast her nrSt callers were
Lawyers Carpenter and Powers, who
had to tell her that the possibility of
obtaining bail seemed as remote as
ever.
Mrs. Chadwick has several times la
mented the taking Of her little medi-
cine chest from her when she entered
the prison, but so far as can be learned
IT contained nothing except harmless
drugs. Warden Finn is taking no
chances on the possibility that his
prisoner may do herself bodily harm.
SO fearful is he that in desperation she
may try to end her troubles that he
has taken the unusual precaution of
having her constantly watched by a
woman attendant, who is instructed not
to let Mrs. Chadwick out of her sight
for a single minute. He has also had
the knives and forks taken from her
tray when meat is sent to her cell. so
that she had to have her chops cut up
for her. and a spoon was the only uten-
sill that she had to use.
