TO CLEVELAND To
FACE The MUSIC
MRS. CHADWICK ON THE WAY.
SAID SHE COULD GIVE BOND But
DIDN'T WANT TO.


Bond-AppeaIed to Her Attorney,
who said That Was True-Her
story to the Newspaper Men.
New York, Dec. 13-Mrs. Chadwick
started for Cleveland on the Buffalo
Limited, which left the Grand Central
station over the New York Central at
o'clock tonight.
Before leaving she made a state
ment in which she declared she will
nay all her obligations, and that her
sole purpose in going is to face her
creditors. She said she could have OBJ
tanned bail here If she had wished to,
and that one of the most prominent
men in the country had offered to-day
to go on her bond.
Mrs Chadwick left here in custody
of United States Marshal Henkel and
Deputy Marshals Kumb and Kelker.
The train is scheduled to arrive in
Cleveland at 11:5O o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Before leaving the United States
marshaps office for the station Mrs.
Chadwick, at the suggestion of her
counsel, Philip Carpenter, consented to
an interview with a number of news
paper men who were waiting. She was
reclining on couch and seemed par
ticularly alert. She was the absolute
mistress of herself and either smiled
as she made her statements or gave
way to an expression of bitterness.
She was gowned as she was when ar
rested.
Many statements that have appear
ed about me are absolutely false" she
began. Il have read statements in one
or two papers that are absolutely
false. I am physically and mentally
broken down. I am not in any condi-
tion to make statement.
Cable from Her Husband.
1T is not true that cabled to DR..
Chadwick this morning. DR.. Chadwick
cabled me this morning, and that ca
blegram will appear in the Cleveland
Plain-Dealer tomorrow morning.
II am going home for the sole pur-
pose of facing my creditors. and what
ever charges they have made against
me. l am going home voluntarily and
not because / could not obtain bail.
Since my arrest 1 have had offers Of
bail from many prominent persons.
Isn't that so, Mr.. Carpenter?" she
asked, turning to her counsel.
Yes; that is true" he replied.
To-day bail was offered to me by
one of the most prominent men in
Cleveland by telegram" said Mrs.
Chadwick "He said that wire
f,.tr, hi hprp IN
amount of bail that would be wanted
Isn't that so, Mr.. Carpenter" she
again asked.
He said her statement was true.
Falling Over Themselves to Go Bail.
ct have had at least half dozen
prominent persons offer me bail to-
day." continued the woman. There
was no reason why could not get
bail; none at all.
"I want it distinctly understood that
am going home simply because it is
the place where l should be.
81 shall not give bail, when 1 get
in Cleveland. / have the best motive
in the world for not doing so. The
history of this case from beginning to
end will soon be published in a GER
tain newspaper"
You will call names. won't you,
Mrs. Chadwick" interrupted Mr..
Carpenter.
II shall use Names" corrected Mrs.
Chadwick. 81 promised to give out my
story, and it may take months to get
il out. 1t may be, however, that ii
will be published tomorrow, next week
or in a month. But certainly not un-
til all my obligations are settled and
paid.
Said She Gave Them the Slip.
Il have not tried to flee from any
one--not even from the newspaper
men," she continued, with a smile.
When all you young men thought
that l was sick at the Holland House.
] walked right by you and went to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and after at
tending to some business there, took
cab back to the Holland House, and
went to bed.
Il left the Holland House one night
and went out walking between two Of
the most prominent men in New York
city. / had dinner with them at Sher-
rvs and came back and you did not
see me-"
'will you say anything about your
relations with Mr. Carnegie?" was
asked.
Il am not here to be questioned"
she replied. II have nothing to say
about Mr.. Carnegie and nothing to say
about any one else. / want to say en-
phatically that l have not been forced
TO go back to Cleveland. / delayed
my return home because / thought 1t
pest to wait and see what the grand
jury would do.
Always Ready TO Go Back.
IF the grand jury had indicted me
nfty times. l would have gone back
Just the same. For the past week /
have been wanting to 60 back. Isn't
that so. Mr.. Carpenter?"
That's So" said the lawyer
! was ready TO go back a week ago
last Saturday." declared Mrs. Chad
wick. Il had all my things packed.
q D9t they wanted me to go down TO
Mrs. Chadwick would not say who
they" meant.
The result was that / ala not get
on she continued. II feel a little
petter than ! did a week ago. But
sun / am very nervous. and / can
hhrdly stand on my feet"
