Absolutely Possessed.
When the reporters were admitted to
Marshal Henkel's Office where Mrs. Chad
wick was awaiting them, she was reclin-
ing on a couch and seemed particularly
alert. She was absolute mistress Of herself
and either smiled as she made her state
ments or gave way to an expression Of bit
terness. She was gowned as she was
when arrested.
Many statements that have appeared
about me are absolutely false" she began.
Il have read statements in one or two pa
pers that are absolutely false. I am phys
ically and mentally broken down. 1 am
not in any condition to make statement.
1t is not true that l cabled to DIR. Chad
wick this morning. DIR. Chadwick cabled
me this morning and that cablegram will
appear in the Cleveland Plain Dealer to-
morrow morning.
Il am going home for the sole purpose of
facing my creditors and whatever charges
they have made against me- / am going
nome voluntarily, and not because 1 could
not obtain bail. Since my arrest I have
mad offers of bail from many prominent per-
sons Isn't that so. Mr.. Carpenter" she
asked, turning to her counsel.

again asked.
He said her statement was true.

inent persons offer me bail today" contin-
ued the woman. There is no reason why I
could not get bail; none at all
