MRS.CHADWICK HAS
S1,OOO,OOO HIDDEN
1t is All in Cash and Where Only
She Can Get 1t.
CAUGHT WHEN ABOUT TO FILE

Cleveland, o., Feb. 20.-One million
dollars is the amount believed to be
hidden by Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick.
Collector of Customs Leach has so
infinitely traced the operations of this
woman during the last four years that
he is in a position to know that the
Item saved from her many financial
transactions is $1,000, 900 in cold cash.
In addition to this sum, the woman
has just as safely placed $3.50, 900 worth
of jewels.
Her arrest nipped plans right at a
time when they were about to bloom.
A delay of few more days would GER
tainly have placed Mrs. Chadwick, her
son, Emil Hoover Chadwick, and her
husband, DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, in
Brussels, and Mrs. Chadwick's fortune
would then have been $2,000,000.
1t was her desire to make just one
more deal with 100000 as the stake
The action of United States Attorney
John j. Sullivan in causing her arrest
when he did was the checkntate over
which spelled the word defeat. Strange
as 1t may seem, the men from whom
she wished to get this last $500, 900
were the most severe In the criticism
OF the action of the United States at
torney, which they, at the time, char
acterized in bitter language as hasty
and ill-advised.
Among the federal authorities the
belief is strong that Mrs. Chadwick
was sanguine Of carrying to success
her deep-laid plans up to the time she
made her sensational fight from the
Hollond House in New York city. She
never wavered from her purpose of
carrying them out until that time, not
withstanding the publicity which the
suit of Herbert Newton, of Brookline,
had precipitated. Had she been sue
cessful In eluding the secret service
men detailed to watch her, and the
newspaper men who thronged the ho-
tel where she was stopping, she would
have made her escape to Brussels in
as direct way as might be. There
she would have settled down to enjoy
the proceeds of her meteoric career
among bankers and money lenders.
In the event that Mrs. Chadwick
should escape conviction under the
present indictments against her, the
United States treasury department will
take action against her.
