New York, Dec. S.-The financial at
fairs of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick were
further complicated to-day by the is
suance of an attachment against her
property for $1,357 so, on behalf of a
frm of milliners of this city. The ap-
plication was made by Lawyer Theo-
dore H. Friend, on the ground that
Mrs. Chadwick is a debtor and is not
a resident of this state. The writ was
issued by Justice Conlan of the City
Court.
The writ of attachment against Mrs.
Chadwick's personal property was
served upon the clerk and manager
of the Holland House this afternoon.
Lawyer Friend holds that this was
sufficient to act as a service and would
prevent Mrs. Chadwick from removing
any of her personal property from the
hotel.
There is absolutely nothing to pre-
vent Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick from
leaving the Holland House with her
baggage, If she see f1t," said Philip
Carpenter, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick,
tonight, when asked concerning the
report that a writ of attachment had
been served.
1.-THE papers were served on the
manager of the hotel and not on my
client personally, and that fact renders
the service null and void" continued
Mr.. Carpenter.
"As a matter Of fact, Mrs. Chadwick
has no intention of leaving New York
for a few days. but there would be no
legal objection IL she saw fit, according
to my views Of the law"
Mrs. Chadwick Was Defiant.
In contradiction to the statement of
Mr.. Carpenter, Deputy Sheriff Frank
G.. Rim said tonight that he served
the attachment on Mrs. Chadwick per-
sonally to-day after first serving 1t
on a clerk and Manager Hartman of
the Holland House.
Rim says that he was permitted to
20 to the Chadwick apartments, where
he found Mrs. Chadwick reclining on
couch. owing 10 her defiance, Rim
says he was obliged to carry on con-
veFsation in a loud voice. When he
made his errand known the deputy
says Mrs. Chadwick took the papers
and placed them on table beside her
He continued:
Il then searched the room as well as
could. but all could find there was
small handbag and the womans
hat and jacket.
1--WE have been informed that Mrs.
Chadwick has changed her apartments
in the Holland House three times. We
believe that the hand bag that

Detectives shadowing Her.
A story was published in an evening
paper TO the effect that several detec-
tives alleged TO be in the employ of
New York millionaire, whose name mas
been mentioned in connection with the
Chadwick case, are shadowing Mrs.
Chadwick. According to this rumor
two detectives are In the Holland
House in the guise OF patrons, while
others are watching the exits and
lounging about the corridors. The ho-
tel management rs quite unaware Of
the alleged presence OF detectives, and
II has been impossible TO confirm the
story
George Ryall, the New York attor-
ney for Herbert y. Newton, gave out
the following statement to-day re-
garding the settlement OF his clients
