Carpenter, Mrs. ChadwicHs counsel,
from some place abroad, the name of
which Carpenter would not disclose,
requesting that gentleman ito deny the
published statments rejecting on Mrs.
Chadwick's life and character. They
are absolutely false" The cahlegram
reads:
1 wish to have it understood that stand by
Mrs Chadwick in every particular in her pres
ent troubles. I feel that she has been greatly
wron=ed by the publication and believe she
is being prosecuted by some of her creditors.
DR.. Chadwick explained that he had
dispatched his cablegram just as soon
as he saw the report of his wife's
troubles.
Carpenter also made a statement to-
day. Said he:
Dr. Chadwick is abroad for his health and
the Newton suit was not brought until some
three weeks after he sailed. Before going
away Dr. Chadwick consulted me in regard
TO Newton's claim and with him l met New
ton and his Boston attorney. The matter was
then arranged, seemingly to the satisfaction
OF all concerned and then the doctor sailed.

standing by Mrs. Chadwick loyalty. and are
in entire sympathy with her. / know that DR..
Chadwick would be by his Wifes side. looking

reposed in her by her largest creditors and
those who know her best
MRS, CHADWICK FRUSTRATED.
Mrs. Chadwick remained in her room
in the Holland House all day. DR..
Moore, her physician, called in the
morning and found Mrs. Chadwick in
a highly nervous state. Her condition
was such that DR.. Moore called con-
sultant and they made a thorough ex-
animation. The medical men found no
organic trouble, but said that the pa
tient was almost prostrated from the
exciting events of the past week. They
will keep close watch on her during
the next few days.
In the afternoon Philip Carpenter
was admitted to the sick room and
had a long conference with Mrs Chad
wick. He went over the various
phases Of the case with her. especially
those points which have to do with
the bankruptcy case in Cleveland. AS
q result of this conference Carpenter
decided to notify all small clients that
their claims would be paid this week
and he called uD the attorney for a
local millinery house which procured
an attachment against the Cleveland
woman and notified him of his inten-
ton.
simultaneously with the announce
ment from Cleveland that President
Beckwith of the suspended Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin was to be
placed under arrest, an official of the
United States Secret Service appeared
at the Holland House and took up his
station there. When recognized he
declared that he was sent to the hotel
hurriedly and that he had been given
no orders.
After having a long talk on the
telephone, the secret service man said
he was not interested in the Chadwick
case. but declined absolutely to an
nounce the nature of his mission
Emil. the young son of Mrs Chad
wick, who has been staying near his
mother for several days, was the sub
ject Of some inquiry to-day. 1t was
said that he had left the hotel This
that the boy had left town with the
jewels alleged to belong to his moth
er and that she would follow him to-
night or tomorrow. This was denied
by Carpenter, who said that his client
would remain in New York at least
through Monday.
