THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 190. STILL ill PRISON Mrs, Chadwick Unable to Secure Bail. DISAGREES WITH LAWYER. She Desires to Waive Exami nation and Go to Ohio. HOPES Tp FIND FRIENDSTHERE Cleveland Adviser Wires She Had Bet ter Not Return Just Yet, and She Gives In, but Hopes to Leave Today. KEW TORK, Dec. 3. After a day of disagreements with her counsel as 'to whether she should waive examination and go to Cleveland, Mrs. Chadwick finally consented to remain another night in the Tombs, but expressed the hope she might leave tomorrow. Mrs Chadwick had made up her mind to Ignore the advice of her local counsel and go to Cleveland, when late in the aft ernoon fhe received a telegram from her Cleveland counsel. Judge Albaugh, asking her not to return to Cleveland Just yet. This telegram caused her to remain over r.lght, In regard to what would be done to morrow, Mr. Carpenter was non-committal. He refused to talk of the situa tion at all. Mrs Chadwick spent the greater part of the time from 7 o'clock in the morning un til 4 this afternoon In the corridor in frcnt of her cell. She talked to those who called to see her. Mrs. Chadwick was led to her cell by an attendant about 4 0 clock. To the matron uhe said: "I am glad I am not going to Cleveland tcnlght, I am tired enough to sleep -well, 1 think, even behind these .awful bars. It has been an extremely trying day, and I am thankful it Is over. I do not care to go through any more such ordeals." In her cell Mrs. Chadwick ate a hearty eupper. She had chipped beef, sprinkled with grated onions, coffee and oranges. The matron said Mrs. Chadwick showed a marked Improvement over her condition in the morning. After eating, Mrs. Chadwick Jay on her cot, and said it was the first peaceful moment she had had since her troubles in New York began. Expects Friends to Help Her. Mrs. Chadwick desires to end her diffi culties in New York by waiving examina tion and going direct to Cleveland to face the proceedings against her. There she expects to meet friends who will help her. These facts were brought out todayl T?y a telegram which Mrs. Chadwick sent to her son, Emll, at the Hotel ! Breslln, In which she told him to come and see her at once. Tho boy and Freda, the nurse, hurried to Marshal Henkel's office, where Emll told the Marshal that his mother wanted to waive examination and go to Cleve land. The Marshal told him It would be necessary to get a certificate from United States Commissioner -Shields, with a statement from Mrs. Chadwick expressing: her wish to waive exam ination. A report was current about the Tombs that a request for the appoint ment of a commission to examine Mrs. Chadwick as to her sanity will be made. "When Attorney Carpenter was asked as to the probability of securing ball, he said: The situation is exactly the same as last night. Men are willing to give bail, but. as In the Patterson case, they fear the notoriety." Mrs. Chadwlck's Imprisonment in the Tombs has not tended toward her recov ery from her nervous attacks of yester day This morning she was in a highly r.ervous state. She was verj' nervous during the night, and was wide awake un til nearly 4 A. M., when she slept a little. "With frequent intervals of waking she slept until shortly after 7 o'clock, when the noise of other prisonersJprcparfng for the morning's breakfast aroused her. Mrs. Seever. the matron In the Tombs, called Mrs. Chadwick about 7:30 o'clock and told her of the routine of the prison. She told Mrs. Chadwick if she did not care for the prison .fare she could send out for her meals or get them from the restaurant at the prison. Mrs. Chad wick decided to make use of the prison restaurant. She left word that only her counsel had been admitted to see her. Freda, the nurse of Mrs., Chadwick. was at the Tombs early today waiting for Emil, Mrs. Chadwlck's son, and to see the prisoner. For fear that Mrs. Chadwick might do herself bodily harm Marshal Henkcl had a woman attendant detailed to watch her all night from without the cell, but near enough to bo on hand on a moment's no-tire. waraen riynn. oi uie ioraos, was so r.ervous over the welfare of Mrs. Chad- wl'k and the possibility of Tier doing her self bodily harm that today he enforced the rule applied only In exceptional cases of not allowing her either knife or fork with which to eat. Consequently the lamb chop which she had ordered had to be cut for her and she ate it with spoon. In the same tier of cells as Mrs, Chad wlck's, Nan Patterson, the former show irl, accused of the killing of Caesar Young, Is kept a prlsonor. the subsequent disclosures. Reynolds showed the two attorneys a number of papers. Referring to reports today that Beck wlth's written statement showed that Mrs. Chadwlck's paper was held by many banks In Ohio District1 Attorney Sullivan said: "I want to have it understood once for all that there is absolutely not one word in President Beckwlth's statement that throws the least suspllcon upon any bank, that attacks any bank, or Involves any other person In the case that has not already been mentioned in the news papers. "The statement is not sensational in any degree. It Is merely some technical Information I desired regarding these various transactions." District Attorney Sullivan made the an nouncement today that he had made all the necessary arrangements with Mr. Carnegie to have him present at the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Chad wick in New York City on December 17. The Idea was to confront Mrs. Chadwick with Mr. Carnegie, whose name is alleged to have been forged to tho several notes. The placing of Mr. Carnegie on the wit ness stand' was intended as a surprise to the other side, and tho announcement of this intention was made by Mr. Sullivan only after It became known that Mrs, Chadwick Intended waiving examination in New York and would be brought to" Cleveland. STILL CLAIMS HER AS SISTER. Mrs. York Says Mrs. Chadwick Was Not Peculiar as a Girl. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 9. Mrs. Alice M. York, of this city, has reiterated her statement that she Is the sister of Mrs. Casslc L. Chadwick, despite the latter's repudiation of relationship. She said: "My sister Elizabeth Blgley, now Mrs. Chadwick, was born near Iondon, Can ada, about 42 years ago. Her girlhood days were spent at Eastwood and Wood stock, which was the home of our family. She was not a great reader, and, as for having read books on mesmerism and the like. It is all nonsense. "When I was married and went to live in Cleveland she came to live with me. That was in- 1SS1. "There was nothing peculiar about her as a girl, save that she was a deep think er. She always seemed absorbed In thought, and would sit in silence by the hour. She seemed to be in a trance, and never would pay any attention to any one. She would come out of these thinking spells as If bewildered. She would never discuss her strange actions nor the many scrapes Into which she got. "ahe never, by word or act. indicated that she was possessed of any hypnotic power. At the time in Toledo when she was convicted of forgery under the name of Madame Dcvere, It is said that she hypnotized a man named Joseph Lamb, an express agent, who was arrested with her. The papers were full of It at the time and all the talk was hypnotism. The hypnotism talk, I repeat, was nonsense. "It seems to me that my sister had a mania for doing just such things as have now Involved her In this trouble. She did not need the money, as she had plenty or It. She was always extravagant. After that affair In Toledo, when she was re leased from prison, she came to live with me at my home on Franklin avenue. She was then the widow of C. L. Hoover, who left her considerable money. I am sorry she has been unable to se cure bond, and hope she will get out of this trouble." REPORTED OF NO VALUE. $5,000,000 Package Weld by Reynolds Said to Have Been Opened. CLEVELAND. Dec 9.

Reynolds Says No One Has Seen Notes CLEVELAND. O.. Dec 9. Iri Reynolds tonight said that, inasmuch as no one but himself had recently seen the securities which he holds for Mrs. Chadwick, the statement printed today that the secur ities are valuless Is not authentic Mr. Reynolds said: "There Is no possible means whereby any information In regard to the genuine ness of the securities that I hold of Mrs. Chadwick could have become known. You may say for me that any rumors in regard to their being worthless could not have arisen from any knowledge gained about them in the last few days. This is true for the reason that they have been jealously guarded against inspection by any one." "How, then, could any information In regard to their character have become known?" Mr. Reynolds was asked. "There Is no authentic Information," he J5r DON'T DELAY, MM . COME RIGHT - ffg AND SELECT Ki ' CHRISTMAS PIANC. VI III . BY BUYING r - IB HI THIS MONTH.

"I have said that I will answer no questions in regard to these securities. Only cn the witness stand will I make known what they are. The case cannot be tried out of court. These securities were turned over to mo a strustee, and I will say nothing about them, except as trustee," was tho banker's reply. Regarding the attest for $5,000,000 which he is said to have made, Mr. Reynolds also declined to make a statement. "The attest involves too many other questions," he said, "and I may be able to enlighten the public about the secur ities and attest - tomorrow in the suit which Mr. Newton has brought against Mrs. Chadwick to recover the money that was" lent." MILLIONAIRE MAY PAY HIM. Boston Post Says Newton Has Hopes of Such a Settlement. BOSTON, Dec. 10. The Post tomorrow will say: "Herbert D. Newton has not yet' suc ceeded In recovering the $190,800 which he says he lent Mrs. Chadwick, but he still says he possesses strong hopes of recov ery. "Not upon the Cleveland woman does ho base his hopes, but upon the belief that a certain millionaire, whose name he has agreed not to utter, will finally come to the woman's rescue. "Meanwhile a civil suit for530,O00 is in progress against Mr. Newton. The suit is brought by E. E. Williams, a bank officer of Elyria, O., In an attempt to recover from Newton on accommodation notes signed by Newton to aid Mrs. Chadwick." NOT LOOKING TO ROCKEFELLER Newton Does Not Expect Financier to Pay His Claim. BOSTON, Dec 9. Concerning the state ment that he hoped for a settlement with Mrs. Chadwick through John D. Rocke feller on the assumption that he would not wish to have the name of his pastor, "Rev. Atchison, of Cleveland, drawn Into ithe affair, Herbert D. Newton said to night: "There is no truth in the affair. Mrs. Chadwick represented to me that she had certain securities In the care of Mr. Rey nolds, and 'I was shown an affidavit signed by him stating that he had in his possession stocks and bonds belonging to her valued at $5,000,000 and upwards. I don't understand that there is any ques tion concerning the genuineness of this affidavit, and on that I rest my case. "A list of the securities was furnished me, and this was accompanied by a sworn statement that Mrs. Chadwlck's semi- an nual Income from the securities was $175,000. Most of them were dividend-paying stocks." Upon the report that the Chadwick se curities had been found to be worthless. Mr. Newton refused to comment until the report had been officially confirmed. Newton would not say he hoped for a settlement from any source other than Dr. Chadwick, but gave the Impression that he had not wholly despaired of re covering something from the questioned securities. On this point he said: "Had I not been given a sworn state ment by Mr. Reynolds to tho effect that he had In his possession $5,000,000 worth of collateral belonging to Mrs. Chadwick, I would never have lent her the money.
