FAMOUS WOMAN CONVICTED

| SaCVpidHus ouiOs 0dhIcn &fs-QH&4UW the higher court interferes Mrs. Cas- sic l.. Chadwick will spend the greater part of the next ten years in the Ohio State penitentiary. A sentence of ten years was imposed on her by Judge Robert W. Tayler in the United States District Court at 6 o'clock this afternoon. The sentence came to the close of a busy day for the court in hearing arguments on . motion for a new trial, which lasted | all day. The motion was overruled. Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on sev-l on counts and sentenced upon six counts. For four of these counts sentence of two years each was im- posed. Upon two counts a sentence of. one year each was imposed. making q | total sentence of ten years. As soon as the sentence was pro- | nounced Attorney J. P. DawIey of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took excep- tions to the sentences upon each count except the first count The defense inc tends to make the claim that the court cannot impose separate sentence for each count; that the law applies to the general charge instead of each indict. ment of general charge. The various counts of the indictment are consid- cred by the defense to refer only to details of the government offense. This point will also be protested In the higher court. as will the other points of the Chadwick trial which re- suited in her conviction. Either Judge Francis !. Wing or Mir. Dawley will go to Cincinnati to make arrangements for review of the case by the United States circuit court of appeals.
 stay of Sentence.
 The first step taken by the defense will be to ask for a stay of sentence until the appeal Is tried out. There was an understanding with United States Marshal Chandler. United States Attorney Sullivan and the court today to the effect that there would be no attempt to execute the sentence until the defense had an opportunity to carry the case to the higher court and there obtain suspension of the sem tence.
 Mrs. Chadwick will be defended to the last court. No action will De talk en by United States Attorney Sullivan regarding the other six indictments against Mrs. Chadwick in the federal court until the present case Is finally disposed of. If the present case and sentence Is sustained by the last court the other cases win be dropped. other wise they will be used against the wo- man.
 Mrs. Chadwick was not particulars ly affected by the action of the court. Seemingly she had steeled herself to any action that might be taken. When ordered to stand up and receive the sentence Mrs. Chadwick did not hear and was assisted to her feet by Dep- uty United States Marshal Clobitz. The court asked her if she had anything to say why sentence should not be pro- nounced. She looked around in a be- wilderment. She was not certain what was taking place and had not the slightest idea what the court said. She was then led forward nearer the bench and the court shouted the question:. She then understood.
 'T have something to say. she said. "but would like to consult with my attorneys first"
 You may do so but 1t must be im- mediately," the court enjoined her. If you have anything to say you must say 1t now"
 Sentence Imposed.
 Mrs. Chadwick said there was noth- ing she cared to say herself. Her ac- torneys made no appeal to the court and the sentence was immediately im- posed. Judge Tayler made no remarks except to explain the terms of the sen- tence. He stated that the sentence oe one count should begin at the expira- tion of the one preceding 1t.
 Mrs. Chadwick was suffering from rheumatism of the left shoulder today and 1t caused her much pain. During the afternoon she was not in the courr room until Judge Tayler passed upon the motion for a new trial.
 By good behavior Mrs. Chadwick can reduce her time of Imprisonment to eight years and four months.
 Mrs. Chadwick's trial began March 6 and the jury returned a verdict of guilty on March Il.
 The first disclosure of Mrs. Chad wick's remarkable financial career was made when a suit was brought by Her. bert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass, last December to recover the sum of S190, 800 said to have been loaned by Newton to Mrs. Chadwick Shortly af. ter the beginning of that suit Mrs. Chadwick went to New York with a retinue of servants and after estab- fishing herself in quick succession at several of the prominent hotels in New York was finally arrested there on De- cember IS by Federal officials.
 J. P. Dawley, chief counsel for Mrs. Chadwick. said tonight that he had nothing to say regarding the sentence nor regarding the condition of his eli. ent.
