WAIVE EXAMINATION AND

SPENDS A RESTLESS
NIGHT IN PRISON

Grand Jury Investigating.

New York, Dec 10.-After a sleep
less night in the Tombs prison and
a breakfast in which she was not al
lowed to use either knife or fork, for
fear she would try to end her life, Mrs.
c. L. Chadwick Friday announced she
desired to waive examination and go to
Cleveland to answer the charges
against her. The news was taken to
her lawyer while he was still seeking
among security companies for the $751;
900 bonds required to free his client.
He had been unable to find any friend
of the woman who claims she has
millions, willing to go surety for that
amount.
Mrs. Chadwick sent for her son Emil
and told him of her determination. He
went before the United States commits
sioner to arrange for the necessary for
malities for his mothers return to
Cleveland. She will be taken there
at once before the federal grand jury.
Mrs. Chadwick's action ends the pros
poets of prolonged fight, such as was
encountered by the federal authorities
in the Beavers case.
Sleepless During Night.
Mrs. Chadwick's Imprisonment in
the Tombs has not tended to her re-
covery from her nervous attacks. Fri
day she was in a high nervous state,
having passed night of watchfulness.
She was wide awake until nearly four a.
NJ, when she slept little. With fire.
Quent intervals of waking she slept
until shortly after seven o'clock, when
the noise Of other prisoners prepar-
ing for breakfast aroused her. Accord
ing to Warden Flynn, Mrs Chadwick
appears to be in a semi-comatose con-
dition. She acts like person dazed.
Mrs. Chadwick has been allowed the
use of the corridor in front of her
cell between seven a. m. and four D..
M. and was permitted to see her
nurse.
Indicted in Ohio.
Mrs. Chadwick is now under indict-
ment voted by the grand jury of Elyria
county, Ohio, for obtaining money on
false pretenses, and it is expected an
indictment for forgery will be voted
by the grand jury in Cleveland. It is
expected that Receiver Lyon, of the
Citizens national bank, of Oberlin. O.,
will return to Cleveland. and that his
arrival there will be followed by the
issue of additional indictments.
Still Hopes to Pay.
In an interview, Mrs. Chadwick de-
MED that Mrs. York, of San Francisco,
was her sister. She also denied that
she was Nine. Devere, and declared
that she woulu pay off her debts and
make public statement clearing up all
the mystery of her case.
Seckwith Details Story.
President Beckwith, of the Citizens
national bank, Oberlin, O., has made
q detailed confession to United States
District Attorney Sullivan concerning
his transactions with Mrs. Chadwick
AT the last moment OF our negot1a-
lions, when the first suspicion haunted
my mind, l was tricked into making
the loan by Mrs. Chadwick, who
brought to me young man, whom she
introduced as the son O. Pittsburg
millionaire" Beckwith said. His
words OF reinsurance made me fail,
and wrecked my life l have since
learned that he was an actor employed
by the woman to trick me-
Another Rankar p1orood
"A certain banker, who was himself
overloaded with her worthless secur-
tiles, was as much responsible for the
crash of the Oberlin bank as anyone
Else. He knew in his heart that Mrs.
Chadwick was a fake, and he wanted
her to raise enough from me to pay
him some of the money she owed him.
She showed me that she had on deposit
in banks in New York and Ohio near
ly 100000 in cash. Since the fail
ure my inquiries have shown that she
really did not possess this cash, but
she had drawn it all. She even now
has it cashed somewhere, unless she
has given it to some one close to her
to save it.
Borrows 100000.
"1n the past three years Mrs. Chad
wick has raised over 100000 from
different banks, and the demonstration
she gave me of how easy this was for
her convinced me that her credit was
the best in the world. If those notes
were forged, it is my conviction that
some one of her agents will be ulti-
mately found as guilty of forgery as
she is. One of the biggest corporation
lawyers in Pennsylvania was either in
the game with her, or he was duped as
completely as I was. She issued checks
broadcast for hundreds of thousands on
banks where she had no deposits. One
of these checks was for $1,000, and
was drawn on the Knickerbocker Trust
company of New York. If these banks
will come to the front, Mrs. Chadwick
will have so many accusers that they
won't all be able to get into the court
room. Even when the blow of learn
ing all this struck me. still had hopes
that she would take up the Carnegie
notes and save my bank
Creditors Lose Hope.
Mrs. Chadwick's creditors are much
depressed. Counsel for Herbert L. New
ton, of Brookline, Mass, how seem to
have completely lost their confidence
that his $4,000 claim will be settled.
There is no hope of settlement now"
said Attorney Carr, before departing for
Cleveland. II do not think that any of
Mrs. Chadwick's creditors will receive
one cent"
Before leaving the city Attorney An
drew Squire, of Cleveland, said: .None
