hearing was resumed before Referee
Remington lin Cleveland this morn
ing Attorney Dawley announced
that he had decided to offer no fur
Their objection to the placing OF Mrs.
Chadwick on the witness stand 1t
the afternoon session.
The report that Mrs. Chadwick
would be removed by the federal All
thorities from Cleveland to Toledo
is denied.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. December 20.-Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick arose earlier than
usual today, and told the matron at the
county jail that she slept fairly well last
night and felt much better than yesterday.
Mrs. Chadwick has for several days been
scarcely able to walk without support on
account of an injury. but today managed
to take little exercise. Mrs. Chadwick
said she thought she might be able to go
to the bankruptcy court to which she has
been summoned as witness. She said
she would not do so unless the physicians
who were to examine her as agreed to in
the bankruptcy court yesterday thought 1t
advisable.
Referring to a report that the federal
authorities contemplated the removal Of
Mrs. Chadwick from Cleveland to Toledo as
result of friction between Marshal Chand-
Ter and County Sheriff Barry, Mr.. Chand-
Ter said today:
No Intention of Removal.
There is positively nothing in the
story. We have no intention of taking
Mrs. Chadwick to Toledo or any other
point. She will remain in the Cuyahoga
county jail here until her trial begins,
unless she secures bail previous to that
time"
Attorney Dawley told the court that as
long as the receiver was insistent as to
Mrs. Chadwick's appearance he had de-
cfded after consulting with her to have
her go to the bankruptcy court room and
have the matter disposed Of. He said he
had the advice of a physician who had
called on Mrs. Chadwick today that there
would be no danger in attending the
hearing, although it was plain her physi-
cal condition was not good. In view Of
this decision by Mr.. Dawley the two ply
sicians who were to examine Mrs. Chad
wick this morning, upon the instructions
of Referee Remington, did not see the
prisoner.
Suficiency Of Indictments.
Mr.. Dawley stated today that at the time
he reserved the right to withdraw the plea
of not guilty in Mrs. Chadwick's case in the
United States court 1t was done solely for
the purpose of raising any question which
might present itself as to the sufficiency of
the indictments. He said he had no inten-
ton of withdrawing the plea later and
pleading guilty, as had been intimated. He
said he reserved the right to raise technical
objections to the indictment for the reason
that at the time of entering the plea he had
not then examined the indictments.
Under an agreement reached today the
Savings and Deposit Bank of Elyria, Ohio.
which holds a chattel mortgage on Mrs.
Chadwick's household effects turned over
to Receiver Loeser the control of all its
claims.
The bank waived its claims subject to any
rights that may be legally held by reason
of its prior action In attaching the goods.
In consideration of this waiver the receiver
is to pay the cost of seizure on the part of
the bank before any other claims are liqui-
dated.
