Albany N. Y, Dec. 2e.-Sheriff Bar
ry. of Cleveland, was refused an ex-
tradition warrant for DR.. Leroy S.
Chadwick at the executive chamber
here today. The ground for the re-
fusal was that his papers failed to
prove that Chadwick was in the state
of Ohio March 5, 1903, when the forg-
cry Of the signature of Andrew Carne-
gle, in which he is accused of having
been concerned, with his wife, is alleg-
ed to have been committed. Sheriff
Barry went on to New York.
1t was severe blow to the sheriff's
plans. Barry had planned to get the
requisition warrant and meet the in
coming steamer bearing DR.. Chadwick.
The sheriff expected to go out to meet
the Pretoria on either government
lighter or a police patrol boat, to catch
the big steamer outside of Sandy Hook
and notify DR.. Chadwick of his arrest
before the landing Is made at quar-
antine. He finally decided not to try
to correct his papers now, but to go to
New York, arrest DR.. Chadwick and
arrange for requisition afterwards.
