In reply to a question of Attorney
Ewing counsel for Mrs. Chadwick
in court today district Attorney Sulli
van stated that Mrs. Chadwick would
not be tried on any of the indictments
standing against her during the pres

This is taken to mean that the gov

again unless she escapes punishment
on the conspiracy charges upon which,
she was recently tried.
1t is known that Mrs. Chadwick's
attorneys are quietly at work in an
other attempt to secure bail for her.
Including the bond demanded in the,
state courts for the release of Mrs
Chadwick, it will now require a total
surety of $4,000 to obtain her release
pending the decision of the circuit
court of apeals on the, motion for
new trial.
Mrs. Chadwick was apparently in
much better health today when she
appeared in the court room than during
her trial. She was fashionably at

that it tended to prejudice her position

her he reserved the right to resubmit.

Counsel for the Smiths then asked
the court for an order compelling the
district attorney to return the letters
and documents taken by the Smiths
and promised to produce them when
ever they were wanted The court
refused the motion.
In support of his contention that the
facts charged against the Smiths did
not constitute conspiracy, the counsel
read an intercepted letters from Julia
Smith to Caesar Young in which the
writer stated that Miss Patterson was
about to become a mother, which is
one OF the allegations in the charge Of
conspiracy to get money from Young.

to Miss Pattersons health did not bear
