New York. December 11.-From present indication it is extremely unlikely that any attempt will be made to obtain bail for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, who has been in the tombs since last Thursday night on a charge of aiding and abetting 1 bank officials In the embezzlement of 1 $l2,5OO. She was held under sl5,OOO bail. A person who Is in a position to know the various moves in the Chadwick case in an interview with representative of the Associated Press said today:
 Despite all reports to the contrary, no active efforts have been made to obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick in this city, There are plenty of people here who would sign her bond if asked, but the fact is, it is not deemed advisable for Mrs Chadwick to leave the city prison at present. If she were released on bail the government could demand twenty TOUT hours in which to examine her surety. Meanwhile the government at- torneys could telegraph the Cleveland au- l thorities, and before the 24 hours had ex- pired could have additional charges sent here, so that 1t would be necessary to procure new bail.
 This procedure could be carried out as
 
 they had charges Again there might come conflict in authority. county grand jury might find an indictment against Mrs. Chadwick and then the mat 1 ter of extradition would come up in a 1 different light from any yet suggested l T am of the opinion that Mrs Chad l wick will remain quietly in the tombs for 1 the present. The examination is set for next Saturday before United States Com missioner Shields. If further continuance should not be asked by counsel on either side, the commissioner would listen to the evidence with a view to determining whether or not Mrs. Chadwick should be held for the federal grand jury.
 May be Great Legal Battle.
 Tt is not believed that a decision will l be reached that day. Indeed 1t is very possible that it will be some time be- fore the matter Is definitely decided. In case Mrs. Chadwick is held for the federal grand Jury 1t Is not at all unlikely that one of the greatest legal battles fought i in New York will follow"
 For several days It has been rumored that pr. Leroy S. Chadwick was either in Paris, Berlin Brussels, but an in- vestigation by the Associated Press repre- sentative in those places failed to reveal his presence, although many letters are awaiting the physician at the hotel Metro pole Brussels, where he is a regular patron.
 Philip Carpenter, Mrs Chadwicks coun- sel, was asked tonight concerning the whereabouts of the husband of his client, but he declined to say.
 lawyer who has been connected with the recent financial difficulties of Mrs. | Chadwick, said today in reference to the report that steps might eventually be l taken to compel the return of Dr. Chad | wick to this country
 Any person who says that Dr. Chad l wick can be brought back to the United l States against his will, because he gave l Herbert D. Newton checks which were returned marked without funds knows nothing of the law. Had the doctor bought | a coat and given a worthless check, he could have been held for obtaining money | under false pretenses. but in this case there was no value received.
 Difficult Thing to Prove.
 "It has been said that Mrs. Chad | wick settled $2,J00000 of the money she borrowed on her husband three years ago. That will be a difficult thing to prove. It must be first shown that she borrowed that amount of money, and that 1t was borrowed frauduiently. II would seem reasonable that if the woman could borrow such a large sum of money she must have had some excellent se- | curities. It must be borne in mind that the first alleged Carnegie note which plays the most important role in this tragedy of finance. is much less than -four years old, while 1t was over three years ago that two and one-half mil. lions of dollars were said to have been settled on Dr. Chadwick. As 1t would have been impossible in so short time to negotiate such a large loan on the strength of that note, if is highly proba- blo that is she dio give her husband that money, she had bona flde. I believe 1t most unlikely that any attempt will be made to bring back pr. Chadwick on any such hypothesis. Those who know him best. believe that whatever wealth he has, he acquired 1t honestly
 Mrs. Chadwick passed a quiet day in the Tombs No visitors are allowed to see federal prisoners on Sunday, and no exception was made in Mrs Chad Wick's case.
