FOR MRS. CHADWICK.

the TOmbs.
New York, Dec. 11.-From present
indications it is extremely unlikely
that any attempt will be made to OBJ
tain bail for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick,
who has been in the Tombs since last
Thursday night. She was held under
$4,000 bail. A person, who is in a po-
sition to know the various moves in
the Chadwick case, said to-day:
Despite all reports to the contrary
no active efforts have been made to
obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick in this
city. There are plenty of people here
who would sign her bond if asked, but
the fact is that it is not deemed adj
visable for Mrs. Chadwick to leave the
city prison at present If she were re-
leased on bail the government could
demand twenty-four hours in which to
examine her surety. Meanwhile the
government attorneys could telegraph
the Cleveland authorities and before
the twenty-four hours had expired
could have additional charges sent
here, so that ii would be necessary to
procure new bail.
This procedure could be carried out
as long as the government officials
thought they had charges Again,
there might come a conflict in author
ity. A county grand jury might find
an indictment against Mrs. Chadwick,
and then the matter of extradition
would come up in a different light from
any yet suggested.
Will Remain in TOmbs.
"I am of the opinion that Mrs.
Chadwick will remain quietly in the
Tombs for the present. Her examina-
ton is set for next Saturday before
United States Commissioner Shields.
If further continuance should not be
asked by counsel on either side, the
commissioner would listen to the evil
dence with view to determining
whether or not Mrs. Chadwick should
be held for the federal grand jury.
1T is not believed that a decision
will be reached that day. Indeed, it
is very possible that it will be some
time before the matter is definitely de-
cided. In case Mrs. Chadwick is held
for the federal grand jury it is not
at all unlikely that one of the great
est legal battles ever fought in New
York will follow"
Can't Touch the Husband.
For several days it has been rumor-
ed that DR.. Leroy Shipper Chadwick
was either in Paris, Berlin or Brus-
sells, but an investigation by the AS
ISOLATED Press representatives in those
places failed to reveal his presence, al
though many letters are awaiting the
physician at the Hotel Metropole, Brus-
sells, where he is a regular patron.
Philip Carpenter, Mrs. Chadwick's
counsel, was asked tonight concern
ing the whereabouts of the husband Of
his client, but he declined to say.
A lawyer who has been connected
with the recent financial difficulties of
Mrs. Chadwick said to-day in refer
ence to the report that steps might
eventually be taken to compel the re-
turn Of DIR. Chadwick to this country:
Amy person who says that DIR.
Chadwick can be brought back to the
United States against his will because
he gave Herbert ID. Newton checks
which wore returned marked without
funds knows nothing of the law. Had
the doctor bought coat and given
a worthless check, he could have been
held for obtaining money under false
pretenses, but I'm this case there was
no value received. He is said to have
given checks aggregating $4,000 as a
part payment OF his wife's indebted
ness. The checks were valueless. but
no crime was committed, for DR.. Chad
wick received nothing. Mr. Newton
received nothing. In other words, there
was no value received and therefore
no crime committed.
Questions That F2,5oOOOO Settle
ment.
ut has been said that Mrs. Chad
wick settled s2.500.00O OF the money
she borrowed on her husband three
years ago. That VIII be difficult
thing 10 prove. II must first be shown
that she borrowed that amount Of
money and then that IL was borrow
ed fraudulentiy. IL would seem rea-
fonable that II the woman could b0r-
row such q large sum Of money. she
must have had some excellent securi-
ties n must be- borne IN mind that
the FIRST alleged Carnegie note, which
plays the most important role ln this
tragedy ~ finance, 10 much less fnan
four years old. while n was over three
year, ago that l2.b 900. were said
~ have been settled Oh ~. chad.
