FAILS TO SECURE PAPER.
Sheriff Barry Must Wait Until Gov,
Odell Approves Requisition
for DR.. Chadwick.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 29.-Contrary to
his expectations, Sheriff Barry, of Cleve-
land, did not carry with him on his re-
turn to New York Wednesday warrant
for the extradition of DR.. Leroy S. Chad
wick, but he will undoubtedly receive
the papers in New York Thursday.
The sheriff came to the executive
chamber early in the day with his coun-
sci, Judge John I. McDonough. The
requisition of Gov. Herricls of Ohio was
presented to Pardon and Requisition
Clerk Joyce, who, after short examina-
ton, pronounced it sufficient.

affidavit Of the district attorney of
Cuyahoga county, certifying the anthem
ITCHY of grand jury minutes containing
the testimony of Iri Reynolds to the eff
feet that Dr. Chadwick was in Cleveland
on March S, 1903, when the forgery
charged against him is alleged to have
been committed.
Clerk Joyce said, however, that he
wished to communicate with Gov. Odell
before issuing the warrant He prom
ised to do SO at once.
New York, Dec 29.-It is probable that
the Hamburg-American line steamer
Pretoria, with DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick
on board, due Wednesday, will not reach
this port until Thursday or Friday. The
delay is owing to the unusually heavy
weather reported by all incoming
steamers. 1t is understood that num-
Der OF sheriffs from other states are in
the city for the purpose of endeavoring
to arrest DR.. Chadwick and serve papers
on him preliminary to securing his ex-
