CRANK SUSPECTED OF DEED.
Internal Machine Addressed to Sem

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-A small in
fernal machine was found done UP in
an innocent looking package in a pri-
yate mailbox in the hallway OF a build
ing at 205 Market street addressed to
United States Senator Penrose.

opened the box without exploding its
contents. The box contained gunpoW-
der and liquid in bottle supposed
to be nitroglycerin.
On portions of the wrapper Of the
box were pasted clippings containing
the names OF different corporations.
On another wrapper was the in
scription, President Roosevelt, we
are not in any trust, time limited, in
auguration.''
There were other inscriptions on the
wrapper and also on the box 1t is
the opinion Of Captain Donaghy that
the Internal machine is undoubtedly
the work of a crank. There is no clue
to his identity Mr.. Penrose has no
connection with the building in which
the Internal machine was found.

REFUSES TO ANSWER
MRS. CASSIE I. CHADWICK ON.
THE STAND in BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDINGS.
FINALLY CONSENTS TO TAKE OATH At
DECLINES TO STATE HER NAME.
OR REPLY TO ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS.
FINALLY CONSENTS TO TAKE OATH


Chadwick, when placed on the stand
tn the bankruptcy proceedings against
her before Referee Remington, re-
fused at first to be sworn. After a
consultation with her attorneys she
finally consented to take the oath. She
was then asked to 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 criminal cases. Referee Rem
ington found in her favor, although he
insisted against her counsels' wishes
in making her give quasi-explanation
OF her refusal
Mrs. Chadwick was forced to take
the stand and be sworn This she did
very gracefully, smiling pleasantly and
cheerfully as the referee administered
the oath.
II want to do all can to aid the
trustee and help my creditors," an
nounced the witness before any ques-
tions had been asked Il do not want
to appear discourteous or disobliging,
but you must not forget the circum-
stances that surround me-"
Mrs. Chadwick refused to give her
name. It was in vain that Attorney
Crossman declared that he had no de-
signs of trapping the witness into an
discriminating reply. Mrs. Chadwick
simply refused to say that she was
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick and smilingly
persisted in that course.
Referee Remington Exasperated.
Referee Remington vainly appealed
and almost threatened her. He went
at length into just what her privilege
was and just what amounted to con-
tempt OF court Mrs. Chadwick was
All interested listener to all he had to
say, but his conversation moved her
not jot. Finally Mr.. Remington grew
a little eXasperated at her cheerful in
difference.
Is this by your advice?" he sternly
inquired of Attorney Dawley:
81 refuse to answer was DaWley's
reply. Counsel can take care of him
SELF" he added Significantly. II am
not under obligations to disclose to
anyone, not even court, the nature OF
my professional advice to my client. ;"
Dawley continued to grow more and
more acrimonious in his remarks to
the court and along at the close of a
subsequent clash he frankly stated
that he wished the court would COM
nit Mrs. Chadwick to Jail for con-
tempt and get the thing off his mind.
Remington took decided objection to
this attitude and remarked that il
Dawley persisted in it there would be
trouble.
The entire examination was a series
of just such wrangles and disputes.
Mrs. Chadwick answered a few ques.
ably free from information Finally
the court and counsel on all sides
agreed that the examination might as
well be stopped abruptly because there
was no hone of securing any informa-
tion from the bankrupt. Accordingly
March 13 was set for a resumption of
the hearing with the understanding
that Mrs. Chadwick would testify free
ly on that date if the criminal cases
against her had been disposed of by
that time.
