Cleveland, O., February 24-Mrs
Chadwick when placed on the stand
III the Bankruptcy proceedings against
her today before Referee Remington
refused at first to be sworn. After a
consultation with her attorneys, she fl
nally consented TO take the oath. She
was then asked 10 state her name. She
refused TO reply to this or any other
questions that followed.
Mrs. Chadwick sought refuge in her
privilege as an accused person and she
refused to answer most of the questions
on the ground that what she said might
tend to aid the prosecution of her Grim
inal cases. Referee Remington found
in her favor although he insisted
against her counsel's wishes in making
her give a quasi explanation of her re-
fusal.
My financial affairs are SO closely
allied with the case in the federal court
that anything affecting the one must
necessarily affect the other said Mrs.

hat explanation of her position was as
admirably expressed as it could be.
What they want is TO get possession
Of our information" stoutly declared
Attorney Dawley, on behalf Of Mrs.
Chadwick.
Despite Dawley's objections and his
irate declarations that Mrs. Chadwick
was being unjustly and improperly i'm
posed on, Mrs. Chadwick was forced TO
take the stand and be sworn. This she
did very gracefully, smiling pleasantly
and cheerfully as the referee admins
tered the oath. But h refused to say
that she was Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick,
and smillingly persisted in that course.
Referee Remington vainly appealed
to her, explained to her, caioled her,
and almost threatened her. Mrs. Chad
wick was an interested listener to ali
he had to say, but his conversation
moved her not a jot. Finally Reming-
ton grew a little exasperated at her
cheerful Indifference.
lis this by your advice?" he sternly
inquired of Dawley.
L refuse to answer was Dawley's
reply.
Counsel can take care of himself"
he added, significantly. Il am not un-
der obligations to disclose to any onc
not even a court, the nature of my pro-
fessional advice to my client"
The entire examination was a series
of wrangles and disputes. Mrs. Chad
wick answered a few questions, but her
answers were remarkably free from in
formation. Finally the court n
counsel agreed to resume the hearing
March 18th, with the understanding
that Mrs. chadwick would testify free
~ on that date if the criminal cases
against her had been disposed of by
tina time.
