This statement was made today by
George Ryall of local counsel for Her

Element of his clients claim against
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. -..-:..
Where Mrs. Chadwick obtained the
aid Mr.. Ryall did not state, but it is
known that she spent considerable time
terday, and was for several hours in
the Offices Of a firm of attorneys which
frequently has acted as legal repre-
sentative for Andrew Carnegie. It was
soon after the visit that MI Newton 8
lawyers announced that they were sat-
is6ed that their claim would be settled.
Mrs. Chadwick demonstrated her abil-
ity to act for herself in crisis on
which SO much depends. Apparently
and ability, she dispensed with the as
sistance Of her counsel and set forth
from the Holland house. She spent
three hours in the Wall street district
Her sojourn there was surrounded. with
secrecy. It was established, however
that she probably devoted the greater
part of her time between the offices
Of the Central Trust company and the
offices of Butler, hoffman, Joline s
Mynders.
Considerable interest was aroused to
day by a statement that number Of
years ago Mrs. Chadwick borrowed
from Mrs, Sehenley, the English WON
an who died several years ago pos
sessed Of many million dollars wort]
of property in Pittsburg. It is sal,
Mrs. Chadwick were found among Mrs
Schenley's papers after her death.

as to whether any of the attacking
