New York, December S.-Mrs. Cassie
L. Chadwick is tonight occupying one
of the ~scantily furnished cells in the
tombs. After a fruitless search all day
for bail, her attorneys gave VI the fight
tonight and Philip Carpenter, her chief
counsel stood in the corridor Of the
Federal building at 9 o'clock when
United states Marshal Henkel threw
| open the double doors of his office and
! led the woman out on her way to
! ..Eon.
! ITS. Chadwick was wan. tired and
almost fainting. She made her way
; across the hall to the elevator. leaning
heavily On the marshal's arm and that
nurse Freda Swenson and Deputy Mar
shal Kennedy.
The party passed through a double
row of curious people to a carriage
which was in waiting on the Broadway
| side.
They were driven directly to the
tombs. Arriving there Mrs. Chadwick
was half carried up the steps and intn
the building. Warden FLYNN, met the
party and after the usua preliminaries
| had been attended to the woman asked
| permission to have her nurse remain
| with her. This was denied, the warden
saying that she should have no privi-
leges not allowed other prisoners.
Mrs Chadwick gave a hand bag and
| a few trinkets to the nurse and wis
| pered some Instructions to her son.
Marshal Henkel formally turned his
| prisoner over to the warden and she
was taken to the matron's room. She
asked to say good night to her son and
the lad eagerly rushed to his mother
| and wrapping his arms about her. gave
her a long embrace. Then she was led
away to the inner office where her ped
| igree was taken and she was assigned
| tC a cell.
The son and nurse entered a carriage
| and were driven to a hotel. While ly-
ing on a couch in United States Mar
shal's Office awaiting a bondsman Mrs.
| Chadwick, for the first time since her
name has been before the public, con-
scented to talk for publication and ave
the representative of the Associated
Press a statement in which she denied
relationship to Mrs. York of San Fran
cisco, VINO gave out an interview today
telling of the earlier life of Mrs. Chad

In justice to her son, Mrs. Chadwick
said h would not make a statement
about this Madame de We're business"

later Madame de Vere's whereabouts
| n everything else in connection with
| this case will be shown"
Mrs. Chadwick also told Of the Wade
Park and Oberlin bank matters. Refer
ing to the failure of the latter institu-
ton she said:
Il would not like to live a minute if
L did not think I could pay these poor
| people back"
When asked concerning Andrew car
negie's connection with her inancia
affairs, she declined absolutely to talk
referring her interviewer to her coun-
| sci.
This has no doubt been one OF the
most momentous days in Mrs. Chad
wick's history. 1t commenced with her
early departure from her hotel for the
L eueTal DulluinS anu eTOeQ WIN ner
incarceration in the tombs.
In the interval she has been arraign-
ed before United States Commissioner
Shields and held in $4,000 bail
which she was unable to furnish. All
day long lawyers representing her in
tercsts had sought in every quarter for
some one owning real estate in Manhat-
tan who would sign her bond and the
marshal had, out of sympathy for the
woman, kept her in his office hours after
she should have been removed. The
endeavors Of the lawyers were unsuc-
c~essful, rendering her Imprisonment
necessary.
To add to her cup of woe. 1t was
learned tonight that a charge OF forg-
cry would very likely be made against
the woman in Ohio, based on the Car
negie notes and other papers given as
securities for loans.
Efforts to get bail will continue to-
morrow. although Mrs. Chadwick ex-
pressed the desire tonight to go to Cleve
and as soon as possible. She said she
would go there voluntarily. were IL not

Mrs. Chadwick dined at z o'clock to-
night in Marshal Henkel's office under
conditions in strange contrast TO the
manner in which she lived at the New
York hotels. Her dinner consisted of
an orange, a ham sandwich and a piece
Of cake. brought to her by her son. from
