known that she spent considerable
time i'm the Wall Street financial dis

hours in the offices of a firm of at
torneys which frequently has acted as
legal representative for one of the

for Mrs. Chadwick to postpone her
personal statement until after all the
present suits against her have been
settled and dismissed" said Mr.. Pow
ers. In due time, he added, she would
explain who she is and would deny
that she is a relative or Andrew Car

Mrs. Chadwick made another visit
to the financial district to-day. Yes
terday she went through the Wall
Street section almost unobServed and
scarcely more than a dozen persons
knew of her presence in the street to-
day. Her coming had been heralded
and when she drove up to the build
ing in which the offices of the Gen.
trail Trust Company and the attorneys
whom she visited yesterday are locat-
ed the street was thronged with a
curious crowd. In a few moments the
crowd had swollen TO such proportions
that half q dozen extra policemen
were called to preserve order and clear
a passage way through the street.
After waiting an hour or more Tor
Mrs. Chadwick to re-appear, the
crowd learned that she had given them
the slip by going over the roofs from
the Central Trust building TO build
ing on Pine street. There she made
her way to William Street and drove
off While the crowd waited half a
block away. At neither the Central
Trust Company nor the office of the
attorneys could anything regarding
Mrs. Chadwick's visit be learned.
