Mrs. Chadwick's Imprisonment in the

This morning she was in a highly ner-

until nearly a. m, when she slept a
little. In the same tier of cells as
that in which Mrs. Chadwick's cell is
located Nan Patterson, accused of kill

& For fear that Mrs Chadwick might

Mrs. Chadwick, charging forgery, bas-
ed either on the Carnegie notes or
other papers given by her as securi-

they are part of sensational develop
