New Y Ork, December Sine nnan-
cial affairs of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick were further complicated today
by the the issuance of an attachment
against her property for $1,357.50. on
behalf of firm of millinerB of this
city. The application was made by
Lawyer Theodore H. Friend. on the
ground that Mrs Chadwick is a debt
or and is not a resident of this state.
The writ was issued by Justice Conan
of the city court.
The writ of attachment against Mrs.
Chadwick's personal property Was
served upon the clerk and manager
of the Holland house this afternoon.
Lawyer Friend holds that this was
sufficient to act as a service and would
prevent Mrs. Chadwick from remov-
ing any of her personal property from
the hotel.
There is absolutely nothing to
leaving the Holland house with her
baggage, if she sees fit,'' said Phillip
Carpenter, counsel for Mrs Chadwick
tonight, when asked concerning the
report that a writ of attchment had
been served.
THE papers were served on the
manager of the hotel and not on my
client personally, ana that fact rem
ders the service null and void" con-
tinued Mr.. Carpenter.
LAS a matter of fact Mrs Chad
wick has no intention of leaving New
York for few days, but there would
be no legal objection if she saw fit,
according to my view of the law"
In contradiction to the statement
of Mr. Carpenter, Deputy Sheriff
Frank c. RIM said today that he
served the attachment on Mrs Chad
wick personally today, after first tserv-
ing it onsa clerk and Manager Har
riman Of the Holland house.
Rim says he was permitted to go
to the Chadwick apartments where he
found Mrs. Chadwick reclining on 4
couch. Owing to her deafness, Rim
says he was obliged to carry on a con-
versation in a loud voice. When he
made his errand known the deputy
says Mrs. Chadwick took the papers
and placed them on a table beside
her. He continued:
IT then searched the rooms as we'll
az I could. but all I could find there
was a small hand bag and the wom-
ans hat and jacket.
I'VE have been informed that Mrs.
Chadwick has changed her apartments
in the Holland house three times.
hal NJ Or I
found in her room does not constitute
all her effects
a story was published in an even
ing paper to the effect that several
detectives alleged to be in the en-
ploy OF millionaire, whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the
Chadwick case, are shadowing Mrs.
Chadwick. According to this rumor
two detectives are in the Holland house
in the guise of patrons, while others
are watching the exits and loungfng
about the corridors. The hotel man
agement is quite unaware of the al
legged presence of detectives and it hes
ben impossible to confirm the story.
George Ryall, the New York attor-
ney for Herbert D. Newton, gave out
the following statement today regard
ing the settlement of his clients claim
against Mrs. Chadwick:
"r am satisfied that our claim
against Mrs. Chadwick will be paid.
The settlement viii be in full and IN
cash. or course, there may not be a
full payment of Newton's claim of
sI90,So0, because 1 believe there are
some of the notes held by Newton on
which Mrs. Chadwick did not get
their full face value and Of course
deductions will have to be made in
such cases. but all the just claims and
legal obligations of Mrs. Chadwick to
Newton will be met by her in full
and with cash and by Mrs. Chadwick
herself. regardless of the bankruptcy
proceedings brought against her II

Mrs Chadwick is said TO be in a
state bordering on almost total col
lapse tonight. The nervous strain %
