Arraigned Before Federal Official
ON Charge of Conspiracy
to Defraud.
Prisoner Swoons at Sudden Flash
from Battery of Cameras
in Court.

New York, Dec. 8.-Arraigned before
United States commissioner, Mrs. Cas-
$4,000 bonds, and sent back to the
United States marshal s office to await
the finding of a bondsman. Failure in
this, endeavor, will mean that this re-
markable woman, this dabbler in mill
ions, who has become the devotee Of
luxury and lavish expenditure, will !
have to spend the night in the Tombs
prison, a common prisoner.
With Mrs. Chadwick $ arraignment
on technical charge Of aiding and abet- !
funds of a national bank, the second
stage in this remarkable case was be-
gun. 1t seems almost certain that these |
proceedings ultimately will result in
clearing away the mystery in which the
case has been shrouded.
Arrested Last Night.
Mrs. Chadwick was arrested last
night in her. apartments at the Hotel
Breslin, whittier she had fled earlier in
the afternoon from the New Amsterdam
hotel.
Lying on a sickbed, her face pallid
as the pillow on which her head rested,
Mrs. Chadwick heard the warrant read
by United States Marshal William Hen
kel and showed great emotion.
The warrant on which Mrs. Chadwick
was arrested was issued by United
plant of Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Ernest E. Baldwin. 1t
was based on an affidavit sent here
from Cleveland. Federal officers alone
participated in the proceedings. =
Charged with Conspiracy. T.
Mrs. Chadwick was charged with
conspiracy to defraud the Citizens Ma
tional bank Of Oberlin, Ohio. A check
for $12,5oo,, signed by and, drawn to
the order of G. l.. Chadwick, supplied
the evidence on which Mrs. Chadwick
was arrested.
Mrs. Chadwick, who had been per-
mitted to remain at the hotel Breslin
during the night, arose early today and
told the United States marshal she was
ready to accompany him. She said that
altho she had been restless she felt
somewhat better than last night, when
the shock of her arrest had almost pros
trated her, and she saw~no reason to
delay the detectives further. A car
riage was called and the party started
shortly before 8 CLOCK for the federal
building, where the arraignlnent was to
take place.
