IN DR.. CHADWICK'SC CASE

Another interesting phase was
given the Chadwick case today ~
the report from Albany, N. Y, that
officials there declined to issue an ex-
tradition warrant for DR.. Chadwick
to the sheriff of Cleveland, Ohio.
Refusal is made on the ground that
the sheriff's papers failed to prove
that the doctor was in Ohio wien
the alleged forgery OF Andrew Car
negie's signature was committed.
Cleveland officials, however, aver
that the extradition warrant will be
eventually granted.
DR.. Chadwick is expected to az
rive in New York from Europe on
"Wednesday.
ALBANY, N. Y, December 26.-sheriff
Barry of Cleveland, Ohio, who expects 10
arrest DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, husband of
Mrs. Chadwick, when he lands in New YORK
on the charge of forging the name of An
L
day when he failed to obtain from Gov
Odell the requisition papers necessary to
permit the transportation of DR.. Chadwick
to Ohio for trial.
He called at the executive chamber in the
capitol this morning but was informed by
Judge John 7. Joyce, the governors pardon
and reouisition clerk that his papers were
defective in that they failed to prove that
DR.. Chadwick was in the state of Ohio on
March > 1903 when the alleged forgery was
committed.
Sheriff Barry decided not to try to correct
his papers now, but to go on to New York
and arrest DR.. Chadwick and arrange for
his requisiton afterward.
Sheriff Had Telegraphed Ahead.
Before leaving for New York Sunday the
Cleveland sheriff telegraphed to the ex-
ecutive department here asking that his
papers be prepared SO that there might be
no delay upon his arrival early Monday
morning.
When the telegram was received Governor
Odell was at his home in Newburgh, and
the message was given to his pardon clerk.
Judge Joyce Immediately telephoned the
governor and received authority from him
10 deliver the desired warrant in case the
applicants papers were properly drawn
up.
Sheriff Barry called a the executive
chamber this morning and presented to
Judge Joyce the requisition papers signed
by Governor Herrick of Ohio, asking an
extradtion warrant to enable him to take
his prisoner out of New York state.
Proceeded to New York.
When the sheriff learned that his proof
was defective there was at first some talk
of his returning in person to Ohio for the
purpose of getting the corrections. After
further consultation with Judge Joyce he
concluded to telegraph to have the neces-
sary affidavits prepared and sent to him in
New York. He said that this was a purely
formal matter, and that affidavits could
be promptly obtained showing that DIR.
Chadwick was in Ohio on or about March
), 1903.
The Ohio sheriff left Immediately after
ward for New York, where he will wait for
DR.. Chadwick's steamer, which is expected
Wednesday. He will consult with New
York city authorities regarding the best
course of procedure.
Before leaving Sheriff Barry said that
while he was disappointed at not obtain
ing the requisition warrant at this time the
failure would not delay him to any appre-
ciable extent.
