ney Dawley had an informal confer
ence concerning Mrs. Chadwick's ap-
pearance before the referee. Attorney

should be brought into court as soon
as possible, saying that he understood
she was able to be present.
Attorney Dawley, then addressing
the court, questioned the right to SUBJ
poena Mrs. Chadwick and have her
testify. ITO bring her into court IN
her present condition would be nothing
short of inhumanity," he declared.
Furthermore, Mrs. Chadwick is un-
der no obligation to testify anywhere.
