wick can be brought back to the United
states against his viii because he gave
Herbert d. Newton checks which were
returned marked Without funds,
knows nothing Of the law Had the
doctor bought a coat and given
worthless check he could have been
held for obtaining money under false
pretenses. but in this case there Was no
value received. He is said to have given
two checks aggregating $50, 900 as part
payment of his wife's indebtedness.
The checks we're valueless, but no crime
was committed, for DIR. Chadwick re-
ceived nothing. Newton received moth
ing. In other words, there was no value
received, and therefore no crime COM
mitted.
Difficult to Prove.
1T has been said that Mrs. Chadwick
settled 50, 200 of the money she Dor.
rowed on her husband three years ago.
That Will be difficult thing TO prove.
1t must first be shown that she bor-
rcwed that money. and then that it was
borrowed fraudulently. II -vOuld seem
reasonable that if the woman could
borrow such large sum of money she
must have had some excellent secuTi-
ties. 1t must be borne in mind that the
first Carnegie note. which plays the
finance, is much less than four years
old. while it was over three years ago
that $500, coo were said 10 nave been
settled on DR.. Chadwick. 1t would have
been impossible in so short time to
negotiate such a large loan on the
strength of that note. and il is highly
probable That if she did give her hus-
band that money she had bona fide Sc
cGrity.
Il believe it most unlikely that any
attempt will ever be made to bring DR..
Chadwick back on any such hypothesis.
Those who know him best believe that
whatever wealth he has he acquired
honestly"
Mrs. Chadwick passed a quiet day i'm
the Tombs. No visitors are allowed TO
see federal prisoners on Sunday. and no
exception was made in Mrs. Chadwick's
case, although she received two notes
from her nurse. to which she replied.
She attended religious service in the
corridors.
The prison physician found Mrs.
Chadwick in excellent health today. and
said that probably he would not need
TO call on her again.
United States District Attorney Bur-
nett is quoted tonight as saying that
should bondsmen appear to give bail
.
huence with United States Commission
err Shields to have the bail increased
from SIS 900, the amount now fixed.
Reply to Reporters.
An incident which may have some
significance occurred today when a
number of reporters at the Tombs ad-
dressed a note to Mrs. Chadwick, ask
ing if she would make a statement, and
also when she expected to be released.
To this she returned the word, '"TomOr-
row." The newspapermen were puzzled
as to this answer. Believing that she
had finally decided to Maive examina-
tion and go to Cleveland, they attempt
ed 10 clear up this point through the
medium of another note, but the Of
ficers at the Tombs would not permit it
To be taken to Mrs Chadwick
Mrs. Chadwick rose at o'clock this
morning and breakfasted upon beef
steak and eggs. After breakfast she
chatted with the prison matron for a
time. She ordered her dinner, which
she paid for, from the prison. restau-
rant and had supper at the usual hour.
Andrew Carnegie declined to talk to-
day regarding his possible appearance
as a witness In the case. or as to other
developments in which his name has
been mentioned.
