BADLY TANGLED UP.
Each Day Adds a New Feature to
Mrs. Chadwick's Case.

I niue " multiply IN the strange case
OF Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick of Cleve-
Iahd. o., the woman whose tangled
financial affairs have brought her into
note during the past week. From the
moment the light of publicity was
turned in her direction by the suit Of
Herbert ID. Newton, the BrookIine
Mass, man, who sought TO recover
loans aggregating nearly 5000. 0O0 every
day has added one or more new and
sensational features TO the case. Now.
! with her. affairs practically taken out
OF her hands through the appointment
OF receiver i'm Cleveland court yes
terday, il seems that a solution of the
/ mystery ~ the affair cannot be long
deferred. At the same time rumor con-
tihues 10 be persistentfy busy and all
sorts of reports are rife. One of the
/ stories was that an attachment on
! Whatever personal property Mrs Chad
{ WICK may have in this city was threat
/ ehed TO secure a claim I1ld by a fash
/ lOnable dresSmaker. A check on the
/ Wade Park Banking company of
cleveland for $1,000 which had been Civ
/ en- in part payment of the account, had
! gone to protest, it was said. and wnen
/ TINS was learned the creditor at once
/ began arrangements to secure the claim
/ pN fling an attachment That the pa
: pers were not served during the night
! was said TO be due only to the fact that
I the creditors attorney was not sue
cessful i'm finding a magistrate vino
could issue the necessary writ.
Assets Consist of Notes.
Another statement made today. but
without any official authority, was that
part of Mrs. Chadwick's assets consist
ed OF coo in notes endorsed by a
prominent and very wealthy man.
II IS possible that the settlement Of
I Herbert d. Newton's claim. which, il
was announced a few days ago. had
been satisfactorily arranged, may en-
counter an obstacle in the Cleveland
bankruptcy proceedings The whole
matter had been left in the hands of
George Ryan, Mr.. NewtOn's attorney IN
TINS city, and Mr.. Newton and his other
attorneys had returned to their homes
after a series OF conferences here at
which, il was said, the Brookline mans
interest i'm the case had been satisfac-
torily adjusted. The principal points
I'M the settlement had been agreed upon
by representatives Of both Mr.. New
ton and Mrs. Chadwick, and the only
thing that remained 20 be done was to
work out the details for the cancella- |
ton of the obligations.
AIR Ryall was to have entire charge !
or these final transactions, it was said !
and Mr.. Newton announced upon Ieav-
ing for Boston that it would not BE-
necessary for either him or his Boston
o, Cleveland attorneys TO return to
New York. {
When the news of the bankruptcy
proceedings came from Cleveland. Per- /
cy w. Carver. Mr.. Newtcn's Boston at /
torney, Immediately started for New
York. IT Is supposed that the object
OF his visit WAS to consult with Mr.
kyau I'm connection with the proposed
settlement
In this connection much interest was
aroused by a dispatch from Cleveland
which shows that under the bankruptcy
laws any claims preferred and paid
within period Of four months prior to
the filing Of a petition i'm bankruptcy
may be recovered by the receiver. The
claimant. then viii be entitled to only \
his pro-rata share of the bankrupts
estate. II was reported i'm Cleveland
that Mrs. Chadwick telegraphed to an
acquaintance i'm that city last night !
making an appointment i'm Cleveland /
today. Inquiry at the Holland house
showed that Mrs. Chadwick was still
there and so far as the hotel manage
ment knew had no intention OF leaving
at present.
May Be a Delay.
George Rydll New York attorney for
Herbert j. Newton, said today that
he was not at all troubled by the news
from Cleveland that a petition la bank
ruptcy had been filed against. Mrs:
Chadwick. Mr.. Newton's claim was
occurred. he said. and he felt sure the
bankruptcy proceedings would not Sc
Iiously interfere with the settlement.
There might however. be A DELAY Of
4 day or two which would not have
occurred had the petition not been :
fled J
Mr.. Carver. Mr. NewtOn's Boston at 7

without significance y
This opinion was NOT shared by Leo J.
Frank. Of counsel for the firm of !
Jacques krakauer of this city. who =,
lied the petition in bankruptcy against a
Mrs. Chadwick in Cleveland YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Frank said toGay that the bank D.
uptcy proceedings would have the eff 4
Get of tying up all Mrs. Chadwick's q
property and would prevent the set =
cement OF claims against her e
The act OF filing an involuntary
petition an bankruptcy against Mrs.
'hadwick. said Mr.. Frank. "consti-
utes an injunction against the use of J
my OF her assets in the settlement of
eparate claims Her assets are tied I :
Up from the moment of filing the pc .
ition."
he said, however. that il some friend
4 Mrs Chadwick chose to put up the !
ash 70 settle any claim. like the New .
on claim, for instance. It could be-
one. as such action would have no ef- !.
ect on her assets.
Mr.. Frank slid that he had asked
